With this end in view, the league has
sent out cards inviting opinions rs
To the wisdom OF requesting the mayor
to appoint a committee Of five men 20
study the local situation and recon

Such a change in methods OF chooS'

companied by civil service. The
league Is also soliciting inquiries as to
the strength OF sentiment for the cont

In connection with the movement to

EaVors Forestry School.

The Missouri State University.
which, during recent years, made laud-
able efforts to keep up with the
march of progress in the educational
world. has now decided to establish
a department for instruction in prac-
tical forestry. Yale, Columbia and
Michigan universities have taken the
lead in this work, each having de
voted special attention to the subject
of forestry for some years. No other
state university in the Central West
has given the subject any attention
whatever. The action of the Mis-
souri, board will, therefore. nut our
own university in the lead of those
in Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska.
There is good sense in this new de-
parture. Missouri has very many
thousand acres of timber lands. The
woodlands AK, however, has been
creating sad havoc with our CONNER
cial timber. Millions OF feet of lum
ber and millions OF railroad ties have
been marketed from the forests of
this state recently so that very many
sections have been already depleted
of such trees as are fit for lumber
There are still, however. millions of
acres of Missouri land that is good
Tor nothing else but timber and some
plan for the growing of new timber
should be adopted at once. The first
thing necessary is to educate the peo-
PIE along such lines as are now pro-
posed at the university. The estab-

that is hotter by far than that obtained
from coal. AS a result the problem of
getting cheap gas in those corn states
of the Middle West which are hun
dreds of miles from coal mines has
been practically solved. The new gas
can be, produced, if the inventors are
to be believed, at a cost that will make
it possible to control the industry with

sell gas for fifty cents a thousand and
make "all kinds of money" The cost
is almost as low as natural gas, where

THE HUMBLE PEANUT.

One of the very latest aids to be
called upon by long suffering" pub
lie in its efforts to reduce the present
high cost of living. is the humblest of
the nut family, the peanut Recent re-
ports from men who have been inves-
tigating, according to an Eastern jour
nal, show that hundreds of families in
the great cities of the East have "cut
out" meat entirely from the daily diet.
and have placed on their tables heap
ing bowls of the succulent ground nuts.
Prominent physicians throughout the
country, though no specific names are
supplied, have declared the peanut to
be an excellent substitute for meat.
1t is true that to gorge on the tasty
kernels. unless one is blessed with ex-
ceptional digestive powers, is to tempt
severe internal disorders. but eaten
sanely the nutritious portion of pea
nuts is readily assimilated by the
weakest stomach.
The person who buys a nickel's
worth Of peanuts scarcely realizes that
he has contributed to an industry that
last year farmed a million-dollar crop.
and which placed on the market in
various forms, reached the enormous
value of s36.OOO,OOO. But it is fact.
Scientists claim, it is said. that the
peanut is the most nutritious of the
entire nut family, and what gives
greater value to this statement is the
fact that the peanut is the cheapest
of the nut family. 1t is first both
from dietary and an economic stand
point.
OF course. If the meat trust gets
onto" the fact that you have taken I'D
a peanut diet as matter of economy.
it is altogether probable that the size
Of the bag will be reduced or the price
increased. So it may be well to chew
nuts and say nothing.

pose of this gathering is to attract at

relation to humanity-loyalty to home.

tertaining must not be left to commit

of Columbia to share N this privilege
