UNIVERSITY DIVING
POPULATION PROBLEM
This Is Opinion of S. Nj. Jor-
dan, Director of Farmers
Institute.
MUST TRAIN COUNTRY BOY
Good Roads Necessary TO
Give City School ADVANCES
10 Rural Children

That the loss in the rural population
of Missouri is being checked by the
state University is the opinion of S.
M. Jordan, a director of farmers in
stitutes, who is ON the state board
of agriculture. Mr.. Jordan declares
that the principle reason for the loss
is the lack of education on the farm.
Until lately brains have not been con
sidered a necessary requisite to the
farmer. Now the College Of AgricIl-
ture is educating the boys to mix brain
and muscle.
In the past farmers have moved TO
town to educate their children. Good
roads, according to Mr. Jordan, will
remove this difficulty. 1t Will be pos
sible to live in the country and attend
school in town.
Solve the road problem and you
have solved the rural school prob
lem." says Mr.. Jordan, land farmers
who are now on the farm will remain
there while many who are now in town
will return to the farm. You can
cry, back to the farm" forever but
the people will never go till the coun-
try boy and girl have the same oppor-
tunities for an education that the city
boy and girl have"
Mr.. Jordan believes that by support
ing the University these problems Of
the rural population will be solved ny
the University. 1t is giving the right
kind of an education to the country
boys and girls and this alone means
eventually the solution of the rural
population problem.

GOOD SEASON FOR HUNTERS

ouails, Squirrels, Possuns and coons
in Abundance.
Hunting is good this year in the
fields and woods around Columbia.
Farmers say it has been years since
the supply of birds, especially quails,
was as plentiful as it is this season.
Other birds such as ducks and geese
are in greater abundance than in pre-
vious years but the number of quails
seems extraordinary. Farmers offer
no explanation. Squirrels, coons and
'possums seem to have started a back
to the farm" movement also, at least
they are there by the hundreds.

RUssIA AND JAPAN.

Mr. Jacob schin. the New York

ment which has the exploitation of

very probable Both Russia and Japan
have proved themselves eager TO obtain
Chinese territory and both have In the
opposition OF the other found an in
surmountable obstacle 20 their ambi-

Was deprived OF some of the advant-
ages gained by the iutcrpositIon OF

propriate Chinese territory but was
driven out by Japan. Il is quite proba-
Bile. therefore. that the two have de-
clded To- attempt by united effort what
they have not been able 90 accomplish
separately.
Mr. Schln claims "that it has de-

that Japan has Joined hands with that
enemy OF an mankind, Russia; and
Russia and Japan now have but one
