While the United States consumes
three times as much sugar as 1t pro-
duces, there is never an oyersupply
Of it anywhere. There has been less
lin sight of the saccharine staple in
the European markets than the de-
mand called for during the past two
years and stocks have been stadily
diminishing. The two sources OF
supply are the sugar cane and the
sugar beet, although corn lmaize) may
enter into the field. II there Is any.
thing in the claims made by the CON-
rany which is about to exploit certain
patents.
The American sugar beet growers
are expected to furnish 100000 tons
OF sugar this year. The northwestern
states are paying more attention &c

The Club women of Smyrna can
Justly feel proud of their progress in
the year just closed. Besides their
effort to reduce their mortgage in
which they have shown a remarkable
vigor, they are manifesting deep
interest in the town. Their civic
pride has lead them to donate $1O0
to the standpipe improvement and
surroundings to the station. In ad-
dition to this they have been taking
up the subject of better and more
sanitary railroad station with the
superintendent of the Delaware Di-
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

useful organization and their spirit
in working for Smyrna beautiful

Of the many and varied bequests
that are made, probably none are
more striking than that of the late
Peter B. Burns, of Liberty, Mo-
Saws the Wilmington Evening Journ-
al: "Mr. Burns worked all his life |
to accumulate an estate of $40, 600, |
and he sympathized greatly with
fellow-toilers ambitious to own their
homes. In his will Mr.. Burns pro-
yided that after the death of his
wife, his estate, which is to be hers
for life, shall be divided into two
equal parts, one of which shall be
taken charge of by the county au-
thorities, and by them lent in sums
not exceeding 81, 900 in any case to
worthy men who wish to build homes
for themselves. These loans will
bear interest at the rate of two per
"ent a year, and are to be secured
by mortgage on the estate of the
borrowers. The loan is to be repaid
in amounts of not less than S100
year. According to the provisions
of the will, ten persons will be able
TO secure loans of $4,000 each, but if
the court should modify the terms,
twenty could be helped with loans
of 81, 900 each, or forty with loans of
$500 each, thus getting start as
property holding citizens.
"'This is philanthropy of the
practical sort, something novel, and
i,4-anay- open the way for new -bene-
factions along similar lines. 1t
would seem probable that the court
would direct that the loans be made
in smaller amounts. A large sum,
saw a million or so lent TO home
builders under the Burns scheme
would do a great amount of good.
1t has always been difficult for honest
persons of limited resources to Sc
cure loans when needed. They have
to pay high rate of interest usually
and often there is much red tape
surrounding the securing of loans.
The Burns plan seems to be admir-
able, and it is one we'll worth con-
sidering by philanthropists.

HOME FIRST OF ALL

Which ought man to own first, an
auto or a home? 1t is said the steam
ers to Europe are crowded by people
who don't even own garden spot.
Many people have more enthusiasm
for airships and summer resorts than
they have for cottage. 1t has been
proven that there are many people
who because of industrial and social
conditions can never hope to own
homes.
On the other hand there are many
families who at the end of the year
have only rent bills to show for their
labors that should have bought for
them homes. The man that is nf
greater value to community is he
who basks in the warmth of his own
hearth and who three times day
puts his feet under his own table.
To eagerly plan a home, save money
for it, and build it makes character
and gives a warmth and joy to life
that can come in no other way. Peo-
pie who live in flats, tenement houses
and bachelors quarters don't live
they exist. Certain tendencies in
American life have played havoc with
home ideas in the last twenty years
The home is spoken of in flippant
manner on the stage, in the press and
in much of current literature.
The result is that many young men
| and women don't think of home max.
ing as the great object in life. Mar
riage is a joke and divorce has be
come contagious The American home
where the so-called homely virtues are
practiced has been the corner stone
of our civilization. If young men and
women are not ambitious to have a
home of their own some time, there
is something wrong with their train,
ing.

MAKING A HIT

If some people would quit trying so
hard ito make a hit" they might have
more time to do something. There
is a vast amount of energy wasted in
trying to make an impression on peo-
pie. People whose recognition is wortn
having do not count a great deal on
mere appearance and show It's what
a man accomplishes and what a man
is that demand their attention.
There is a much greater possibility
of making a hit if one tries not to.
1t is the man who goes about his
own business and works hard and
tries to do the best he knows how
that really makes a name for himself
in the world.
People like modesty. Probably it IS
valued so highly because it is so rare
The man trying to make a hit holds
about as exalted place as the cheap
actor. He may get the applause OF
the silly-minded, but people of intel
ligence turn away in disgust.
Man has passed the money stage
He is expected to do more than merely
fill up so much space If he do IS
anything worth while it is a safe bet
| the people will hear about it. The
grand,stand player soon comes I;
grief.

THE VOTE IN BOONE COUNTY

1t seems to be conceded by every
one who has shown any favorable in
terest in the adoption of the proposed
Amendment Number IL that if it fails
lot adoption in Tuesdays election, it
will be only because of the lack Of
|attention it may receive on the part
of the voters, particularly the masses
OF people in the cities, and those in
outlying rural districts.
That is about the only reasonable
excuse that can be given for its fail
ure of adoption. No one at this time
can foresee any other probable reason.
But what would be said if the voters
| of Boone county. living almost within
the sight of the University which the
amendment proposes to aid, should
report a majority vote of "no?" Can
anyone excuse such a lack of atten.
ton? Can we see any reason why
this county, receiving not only the
chances of more than proportionate
benefit from the University in the op
portunities of learning it affords; but
what IS more noticably true, much
greater material pront because of the
university should vote MOP"
Other counties might vote mo" be
cause of Ignorance of the work and

| may vote no" because of prejudice

Even the business houses in the
larger cities of the state are in IA
vor of the amendment for a perma-
nent University support. Some have
included arguments in favor of the
measure in their advertising space in
newspapers, SO sincere are they in
their desires to see the amendment
become law. This striking phase OF
the campaign of publicity is an exam.
pie of the agitation abroad over the
state for better financial basis for

Week in the World

1t is claimed by the Rev. Charles
Scoville, Christian church eyangel-
ist, who is conducting series of meet-
ings in Oklahoma City, that Theodore
Roosevelt is laying definite plans for
a nationwide campaign in the inter
est of new political party. Accord
| ing to Mr.. Scoville, William Jennings
Bryan will be associated with the for
mer president in this undertaking.
This party, it is said, will be COM
posed of the progressive elements of
the two dominant parties, and the new
Organization will not be bound to any
interests. 1t Will assay to serve
the great mass of people, endeavoring
to better conditions wherever and
whenever possible.
| 1t is claimed the plan to launch such
a campaign was made during the re-
lcent Western trip of Colonel Roose,
welt. and that overtures were made 10
Scoville, Billy" Sunday, Gypsy
Smith and others. Mr.. Scoville talks
guardedly of what he knows about the
proposed movement, and he will say
nothing as to any details that have
been worked out.

The College OF Agriculture affords
q saving Of many dollars TO the farm
ers Of Missouri-every year. The school
has done more for the uplift of the
farmer than any other agent in the
state. Why not then see that the
revenue which supports this school il
sufficient for its normal needs? The
Eleventh Amendment will provide this
revenue.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1910-11-06

If the Eleventh amendment should
fail to pass next Tuesday high tuition
fees probably will have to be charged
at the University of Missouri. Many
students now working their way
through school probably would have
to give up their college training. A
vote Yes" on the Eleventh Amend.
ment means that the University OF
Missouri will remain a school of the
whole people, poor as well as rich.

If you ask a voter to support the
Eleventh Amendment, if you speak to
his personally about ii; get into con
versation with him, and get his mind
on it, with the understanding of what
you want, you will go great deal
more good than a great many banners
and posters. The voter may look a,
the poster and pass on without even
knowing what it is about. but if you
speak to him personally, he will be q
great deal more likely to vote for the
measure.

THE SIN OF INDIFFERENCE

If the Eleventh Amendment fails to
carry next Tuesday it will not be be-
cause of the people of this state are
stingy or are opposed to education.
1t will be largely due to Indifference
on the part of voters and the friends
of education. This amendment
which proposes regular and definite
income for the University is so rea-
|sonable and desirable that every un.
prejudiced man will favor it when he
comes to understand it's object. Many
"a great cause has failed because vot-
|ers have been Indifferent and unin-
formed as to the real issue.
Almost every man claims to be-
|lieve in education but not every man
will fight for it. Most men can be-
come excited over a political CAM
|paign but it is only the man who ap-
preciates the vital relation of educa-
ton to the real progress of a state
that can become fired with enthus-
iasm for an issue like the present one
The next five days will decide whether
higher education in Missouri goes for
ward. Every man who believes in the
present issue must work and vote and
