The Worth County Times seems to
think marriage is proving a failure,
and is doubtful about the next census
being what it should. In looking over
the marriage records last year II
found that: Dan Cupid was not very
busy during the year 1910. By scan-
ming the records We find that only 50
marriage licenses were issued in
Worth county during the year 1910.
This is somewhat below the average.
Is marriage a failure? Or is the cost
of living too high to induce young
men to undertake to support a female
companion? Get into the game. young
man; this country must make a big
showing in the census Of 1920!"

FARMERS AND PROSPERITY.

No class of people in the history
of America has been so prosperous
as the farmers of the central west
during the last fifteen years. Not
only have real estate values more
than doubled. but all farm products
have increased from 75 per cent to
$50 per cent in the same period.
Senator Reed SmoOt in a recent ad.
dress before the senate presented
some interesting statistics about farm
products. He takes the prices of
March, 1896, and compares them with
those of 1910 and finds that corn ad-
vanced 1884 per cent. wheat SS.1
per cent, oats 1922 per cent, rye 117.1
per cent, barley 126.S per cent, po-
tatoes 1871 per cent, fat hogs 172 per
cent, fat cattle 92.7 per cent. butter
57.9 and eggs 1913 per cent.
The central west is the garden of
America and it is to this section that
the nation must look for its food in
coming years. The indications are that
the prosperity of the farmer will con.
tinue and that the present high
prices will be maintained. We shall
expect much of these men in coming
years. We shall expect not only a
higher quality of every thing they
raise but shall expect the farmer him.
-. to solve some of the educational,
social and religious problems of the
rural community.
Instead of putting all his surplus
money in more land or improved i'm.
plements we shall expect him to give
literally to other interests. 1t costs
money to have modern school houses
with well trained teachers, to have
beautiful churches with efficient
preachers. In the past the farmer
has not been a good giver and now
as he has a good farm, he ought to
be willing to invest in institutions
that must be supported and developed
if farm life>is to be attractive.

DECREASE IN LYNcHlNG.

Sixteen years ago 100 persons were
lynched in the United States in q
year. Last year fifty-seven were vic
Tins of mobs. With the exception OF
1907 this was the smallest number
of lynehings for any year since 1892
At this rate of decrease it probably
win be a decade before the practice
disappears.
Nearly all of the men lynched last
year were negroes. In most cases
doubtless there was much provoca.
tion. However, it would have left a
much better-looking page in the his.
tory of the country if the punishment
had been left to law. Even men who
have been active in a lynching often
agree that the practice should be
abolished. But argument, public SEN
timent, end even law have proved in.
effective in dealing with mob violence.
A mob listens to no reason and con.
siders no consequences. This has
been the case throughout the worlds
history and viii continue to be SO.

FOR A six.Foor CHANNEL.

The Board of Engineers report, re.
Gently submitted to Congress, recon-
mending the appropriation of two mil
lion dollars annually for ten years for
improvements on the Missouri river,
and declaring the six-foot waterway
feasible, is welcome news to most
Missourians.
II congress acts on this recommen.
dation, the long-desired boat line soor
will be in operation on the river. The
report states that the promoters OF
the boat line are prepared to estab
lish suitable terminals at Kansas
City. and that this example may be
followed by other towns along the
river.
No one will dispute the value such
a boat line would be to Central Mis-.
souri,. Transportation rates would be
reduced since the railroads would be
forced to compete against the rates
afforded by the water route Thus
the problem of getting produce to
market cheaply, which is now per.
picking to many Missouri farmers,
would be solved. Towns on the river
that have fallen off since the steam.
boat was superseded by the railriad,
would regain much prestige. Values
in general throughout the river valley
would increase. Missouri needs the

A CENTRAL HEATING PLANT

Columbia's business district needs
a central heating plant. This is one
of the few things in which Columbia
is not up to date. In every large city
in Missouri. and in some of the small
er ones, this system of heating is
used.
The community plan is more eco
nomical than that in which each in
dividual has the care and expense
of separate heating plant. Where
many buildings are heated from one
source, the expense and waste in fuel
is minimized and the owners obtain
a maximum of heat for the money
spent.
By removing steam boilers from
buildings the liability of loss by fire
is lessened and insurance rates are
lowered. The central system, too,
usually furnishes more satisfactory
heat. Better equipment is used and
it is placed in the care of com
petent person, whose sole duty is to
keep the system in proper working
order.
Columbia's business buildings are
grouped SO closely together that they
could easily be heated from central
plant. Columbia is growing fast, and
this modern method of heating will
soon be essential. 1t can be installed
now with less expense than after the
city is larger. In their plans for a
bigger and better Columbia, business
men should provide for a central
heating plant.

The only remedy for it seems to be
the one that is at work now-civiliza.
tion. The rapid decrease in the mum.
ber of lynchings In a decade and a
half is due to the fact that In the
state where lynching is common the
white man and the negro are both
learning this lesson of civilization
the negro is learning what crime is.
and the white man is learning that
not every crime committed by the
negro is a capital one.

At the Sehooi of Mines,

That writer Of impressions who Ia
mented the appearance of the linen
collar and the baneful derby on the
campus of the Universities of Missouri
and Kansas would find no such fault
with the students of the Missouri
State School of Mines, at Rolla. Out
ing clothing is the regulation, not the
Exception. in Rolla.
One result is to make mining stu
dents appear to be the most rugged
and husky" young men to be found
ION any Western campus. The large
corduroy trousers, Tapping in the
wind, the blue flannel shirts and the
heavy waterproof shoes may be partly
responsible, though the miners have
more than fair share of large, broad
shouldered men to make the effect
more pronounced. But of course it's
only fair to say that in some instances
the large trousers contain spindly
legs.
It isn't simply a fad to dress this
way. The work of the school of mines
includes several laboratories where
broadcloth suits and kid gloves are
impossible. The assay furnaces can't
be fired in afternoon tea costume.
1t may add something to the reason
for the approved Rolla costume to tell
that in the school of two hundred en-
rollment, there are only two women
student. One of these. a girl from st.
Louis. isn't taking the straight mining
course. She is now in her senior year
at the school. The other, a sophomore,
who lives in Rolla. is doing all of the
work that the men do, even to the as
say furnaces. These two women stu
dents are not enough to furnish
feminine element" to cause the men
to go around dressed up.
A certain amount of practice work
in mines is given the students. Sum.
mer trips are made sometimes to as
far away as Colorado. But on these
excursions there is all the more need
for the corduroys when visits are be-
ing made to mines.-Kansas City
Times.

WHY THE DELAY?

The paving Of University avenue
from Ninth street to the city limits
is of Importance to the entire com.
munity. 1t should have been paved
long ago. If the delay brings about
the pavement of the entire length of
the street, then it may be justifiable.
Certainly no property-owner on Uni
versity avenue should be permitted
to obstruct the early completion OF
a public improvement in which the
town and the state are alike largely
interested.

The College World.
When Students Choose Careers.

When Students Choose Careers.
The weakest point of American col
leges today, in the opinion of Fred
erick Keppel. dean of Columbia Uni
versity, is their failure to help their
students to choose a career. In his
annual report, just made public. he
declares that systematic inquiries
among college men show that most
boys pick their vocations independents
lily of any college advice or influence.
He thinks that the professors who
come in daily contact with the stu
dents should guide and advise them
in the matter.
Out of the 500 college men whom
Dean Keppel interviewed on this sub
ject more than 200 had chosen their
life work before going to college and
did not change their minds. About
fifty did not make up their minds
until after graduation.
For those who decided while in
college says Dean Keppel, "the
Junior year seems to be the critical
period, eighty-seven men reporting
that the decision was reached in that
year, as against twenty in the fresh
man, thirty-eight in the sophomore
and sixty-three in the senior year.
One reason for this may well be that.
considering the, present age for col
lege entrance, students twenty.first
birthday is likely to fall in his junior
year."
Mr.. Keppel presents table show
ing that business attracts more men
than any other occupation, 20 per cent
|enrolling themselves as aiming at
such career. Law is next with 10
per cent. teaching claims 13 per cent
and engineering 8 per cent. Medicine
and the ministry hit and per cent,
respectively. Only per cent plan
to devote themselves to journalism.
The rest are scattered among agri.
culture, architecture. manufacturing.
public service and clerical employ
ment. No one admits that he intends
to make his living in politics.
Most of the reasons are not H.
Illuminating" says Dean Keppel. ZAP
proximately IS per cent of the re-
plies are to the effect that the work
was likely to be congenial; 10 per
cent that the calling chosen was one
for which the man seemed best fitted.
In about 5 per cent of the cases it
was apparently the path of the least
resistance. In all but small per-
centage of cases the men declare that
college is not a factor in the choice.

Real University Spirit.

SHhSC'S'ty SPp'e'
A freshman wearing heavy over.
coat and carrying his travelling bag
met senior the other day on the
stairway of a University dormit0ry.
The senior at once guessed that the
freshman was on his way to the
train and asked the reason for his
sudden decision to go home.
I'm sick Ache all over. My lungs
are sore. think | am going to have a
long sick spell and want to get home.'
replied the freshman.
The senior was at once suspicious
and took the freshman to his own
room. After a little questioning, he
discovered that the freshman was not
near the danger point. He was out
of money. Things had not turned out
at the University as he had hoped.
His school work was hard, but in fair
condition The boy was lonesome and
discouraged.
This sympathetic and wise senior
cheered the freshman up, pointed out
what a mistake 1t would be for him to
go home; lent him little money
and found him job. The freshman
wears a smile now. He is sure he is
going to pass in his finals. This is

The Training Of the Journalist.

The candidate for a journalistic ca
reer must, of course, possess certain
natural aptitudes. Unfortunately
these cannot always be surely deter
mined until the pupil is good way
on his teens.
He must have that native intelli.
gence which no school can impart
but which some methods of education
can undoubtedly impair. There must
be also a peculiar alertness to the
facts Of human life, quickness and
catholicity of mind which would al.
most justify the maxim that there is
nothing dull to the born journalist.
In addition. there appears to be es-
needed wide and thorough
information. ability to observe and
