AS one weak link weakens chain,

Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and rnere is an ev-
embarrassing tendency towards dia-
betes and fatal Brights disease. There
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.

When the senior class at the University
OF Missouri stands to receive degrees at
commencement June ., the visitors will
perhaps for the first time in their lives
see father and his son receive under
graduate degi ees I'm the College of Agri-
culture Of Missouri. They are Il. 10. Va
malta OF NaDdalla, Mo. 40 years old, ana
his son, Earl 5. Vanatta, % years old
Both have taken the same course, except
that the father competed the work In three
years. while 1t required the son four years
take his degree.
-Four years ago L. l.. VanatLa was a
farmer near Nandala, sac. he sent his
son Earl to the Uni,y.s4,y ut missouri to
take the -four years .oui-v al agriculture.
He did not dream tina, FANS letters nome
would prove so interesting that he would
be induced to give up his farm, move to
Columbia and enter up in the College OF
Agriculture for the same course his son
was taking, but such is the case. Earrs
letters nome about the scientific ways OF
raising corn ana wheat, and his expert
advice to his father about raising stock
aroused desire IN VHnatta, sr's mind to
learn for himself the things about farming
that we're not possible TO get when he was
boy.
This he did, and more, for he rented his
farm at Vandalla, moved to Columbia, and
although his son had one years start, en-
tered as a regular freshman in the College
OF Agriculture and IN two years overlook
MS son. Now they are both seniors and
will receive their degrees together at com
meucement. Mr.. Vanatta did such excel
lent work in his studies that he was last
year made member of the Alpha zeta,
the highest honorary fraternity In his de-
partment. Earl, who Is also good student,
became a member OF the Delta Theta
sigma, another honorary society In the
college OF Agriculture.

him to distinguish him from his son, was

a student in the University OF Missouri in
1854, but did not finish his course because
he fell in love with and married a girl In
stephens college, in Columbia. He quit
school and bought a farm near Vandalia.
Earps work improved wonderfully after
the advent of his father, for he could not
stand the gibes from the other boys about
his father getting better grades than he
did. When Vanatta Senior was a fresh
man his son Earl was a member of the
committee that enforced the sophomore
rules against his father and compelled him
to wear ''dinkey" freshman cap with
the other green freshmen, However, when
IL came to grades, the odd man" got the
better Of 1t, for student hops and co-eds
did not bother HIM and keep him from
his lessons. lie did such good work that
he was permitted to take sufficient extra
credit to catch up with his son. All this
year they have sat In the same classes.
The professors in calling the class rolls,
calls, "Yanatta Senior" and Vanatta Ju-
Nor" 10 distinguish father and son.
Mr.. Vanatta has become immensely pop
ular with the students in his department
through building for them large club
house, where the leading students In the
department live ON the cooperative plan
MRS, Nanatta ID CndptrOHo a. tIIO housS'
Mr.. Vanatta has always taken part In
student activities at the university. He
belongs to all the class organizations and
clubs ard It is not infrequent for half
dozen students TO gather In his room at
nights to work out difficult problems that
have come up in their studies. HIS work
in agriculture has been very successful be-
cause he already had the years OF expert
ence which the students will have to get
after graduation.
Mr.. Vanatta has done exceptional work
in agricultural chemistry and Will PROBABLY
become a teacher In that line of work after
graduation. Earl intends to become
farmer ana will probably take charge OF
his fathers farm.

Western Railroads
Hold Their Men
Have Not Begun to Retrench, Ac-
cording to Officials of
the Roads,

Western railroads have not Joined In the
general movement toward letting their
men go, which has characterized many Of
the roads Of the country. The Rock Island
has been cutting down it's force. but the
action has been gradual and not sudden.
The Union Pacific and Burlington deny
that they are letting any Of their men go
but they say tina the cost Of operating
expenses is fast growing and the tendency
is to retrench. The recent weather has had
bad effect upon corn and in many places
the grain is rotting in the ground. That
which has sprouted IL in poor condition and
the blades OF green are very irregular.
Farmers are blowing up the ground and
are replanting their corn. so the outlook for
corn is doubtful. The wheat crop will not
come up to the average, owing to the early
hot and dry weather, followed by frost,
according to the railroad reports.
