Will Study Poultry at Columbia.

Will Study Poultry at Columbia.
Beginning September 1, 1911, the
Missouri College of Agriculture and
Experiment Station is to have a
regularly organized department.
The purpose of the new department
is to investigate the various dis
eases and pests that affect farm
fowls, to study the relative utility
of different breeds of poultry for
various localities of the state, to
experiment with the problem of
feeding poultry for breeding pur-
poses and for market, besides Civ
ing regular courses of instruction
in poultry husbandry to students.
The Federal Experiment at Col
umbia with its we'll equipped
demonstration rooms and laborato-
ries offers exceptional advantages
for carrying on the proposed line
of work. The new three story
Veterinary Building now nearing
completion will supply unusual
facilities for the investigation of
poultry diseases and methods of
combating them. More over. all
the work of investigation and ex-
Fermentation will be carried On
where hundreds of students and
thousands of farmers can come in
direct contact with it and learn the
lessons of successful poultry grow
ing at first hand.
So while the new Poultry Depart
ment will find at Columbia a home
already equipped and fitted to its
needs, every one of the four hun
dred and more students, every one
of the ten to fifteen hundred farm
ers who come to Columbia during
Farmers Week, every visitor to
the University of Missouri, will find
there an Agricultural College and
Experiment Station fifty represent

growing poultry interests of Mis-,

Let Americans See America.

LCL AUtETICdHS Gee AnGIICd,
More Americans booked passage
for Europe than ever before in
steamship history. No fewer than
5000 sailed during June and July
from Philadelphia alone, whose ex-,
penditures from the summer aside
from the purchase of luxuries will
amount to not less than $1,500000.
They know their Versailles, these
tourists of ours, and their Regent
Park and their Potsdam. But they
can not tell their foreign friends of
the petty artificality of all such
toys Because they have never
blessed their eyes with the grandiose
beauty of the Yellowstone and the
Yosemite.
They send post cards home pic
turing Mont Blanc and the jung
frau. But how many have seen
dawn or the moonlight on the
Rockies from Colorado Springs or
Denver or Butte?
They dream of the Riviera. And
in their ignorance they overpraise,
Because they do not know that,
aside from the exquisite, attractive
gambling hell of Monaco, America
has in Florida and Southern Cali
fornia two Rivieras which far sur
pass in beauty the Golden Coast"
These tourists talk much of the
transit from Switzerland to Italy
by the tunnel of the St. Gothard.
But they know nothing of the de-
parture from Great Salt Lake-a
worlds wonder in itself the climb
in the dawn through 40 miles of
snow sheds to the crest of the
Sierra, and the deep midsummer
snow through seven climates in
seven hours to the tropic richness
of the Sacramento Valley and the
salt breezineSs of San Francisco.
They think themselves cosmopoli-
tan, these globe trotters" of ours.
They know Havre and Plymouth
and Queenstown and Bremen. But
they never have seen Puget Sound,
where all the worlds naYies could
lie in land-locked harbor.
AS long as even Australians and
Africans visit America to see
Niagara and the Mammoth Cave
and the other features of our WON
derland that we have mentioned
casually, there is provocation
enough in all conscience for the
pleading with our pleasure-seeking
countrymen who send $400,0000OO
annually in Europe to study Ameri-
ca and Americanism first.
There are graver reasons why the
knowledge and appreciation of our
motherland should preface or at
least supplement appreciation of
what is good in alien lands. But
on the score of enjoyment and
economy alone we think the argu-
ment is sufficient to look at home
before we look around.

10000 For Rent.

D. X. Vowel has rented his farm
known as the John o. Wood farm,
consisting of 800 acres to Shepard
Bros. for $4,000. The farm is one
of the best in this vicinity much of
the land having been in pasture
for years. The Shepards are from
Saline county and appear to be ex-

vim and in every way capable of
making big money on their invest

Wild Bird WAYS.

Strange places are often chosen
by birds in which to build their
nests and rear their young. Some
times such sites appear to human
eyes almost as If purpOsely inviting
danger: or as if testing the human
heart to show that there is yet real
kindness yet.
A brown thrush builds her nest
on the trucks of an empty freight
car, and yardmaster and men see to
it that the car remain undiSturbed
for five weeks, until the mother
bird and her fiedglings have taken
flight. The car truck proves an ex-
cellent nesting place. Truer friends
than railroad me The thrush fami-
ly never had.
The members of a yacht-club
are on the point of raising a pen
nant over their clubhouse Wnen q
ficker's nest is discovered in the
socket where the flagpole rests. Not
until the bird tenants have vacated
that hole can the flag be raised and
so the feathered intruders enjoy
their oddly-chosen home in abso-
lutte security.
To win the trust of wild bird or
animal is a great delight, yet much
greater is the Joy of being made a
confdant by wild creatures that
choose their friends with such fine
discrimination. - Dumb Animals.

The trouble with most men is
that they cannot be conservative
without being reactionary, people
who are so conservative they refuse
to join any fight for town improve
ment are a force that works against
the progressive ones and makes
doubly hard any advance. One
who is not for progress must be
against it AS a rule the ones who
are the sloweSt to come to the
front and risk a dollar for town i'm
provement are the very first to
gObble up the dollars that may re-
suit from such an effort that has
been successful. After all the hard
fight is made the obstacles, the con-
ServativeS are as ready as any,
body to help reap the reward. The
pity is that they cannot be induced
sooner to realize the benefits of
modern progress By joining the
forces of improvement they can
help bring about the good times
and feel more pleasure in the re-
Suits than if they had stood selfish
ly to one side and refused to share
any of the risks. - Clifton Hill Rnst-

Sedalia Telegraph School.
Sedalia, Mo.


The Sedalia Telegraph School has
been placed in the first class by the
earnest effort of President Robbins
and those associated with him.
Your correspondent visited and
thoroughly inspected the Sedalia
Telegraph School a few days since.
What was seen and learned about
this school, on tkat occasion, was a
revelation and cannot be adequate
ly expressed on paper.
The School occupies the entire
third floor at numbers 412-414 Ohio
ST., divided into offices, cloak rooms
class rooms, battery room, all we'll
ventilated. well lighted and steam
heated. Each and every room is
adequately fitted and furnished for
the uses required of it.
The first room we entered was
the one in which the railroad wire
is brought into the building. This
room is fitted with a long, table on
which two busy saunders are con-
tinuously clicking with the message
and train order work of the M. K. &
T. Train Dispatchers' office and 9th
er offices on the 247 miles of rail-
road wire with which the Sedalia
Telegraph School is connected.
Passing on we entered a large class
room 50x50 feet supplied with
tables for a large number of stud
ents, each table furnished with its
quota of telegraph instruments for
practice and connected with the
battery room by wires strung on
poles just like regular railroad and
commercial wires. Ten of the tables
in this room are supplied with slid
ing panels so they may be convert
ed into and used for typewriter
tables. On several of these tables
are typewriters and resonators so
that advanced telegraph students
may practice receiving messages on
the typewriter. Leaving this room
we entered the Station AGENTS
which is equipped with ID railway
stations and where the student is
taught the work of station agent.
These ID railway stations have a
telegraph line of their own, entirely
independent of other circuits in the
school and the business agents in
this department is done by tele-
graph. The regular railway blanks
are used, being furnished by the M.
X. & T. Railway.
The success of this school is phe-
nominal; and why? Because it is
supplied with everything that is re-
quired by the student in gaining a
practical knowledge of the business
and because President Robbins has
placed its management in the hands
of men who are practical Railroad
and Telegraph men. This school
has not failed, in a single instance
to please its graduates in well paid
positions
During a conversation with the
principal we asked, among othel
things, what standing the Sedalia
Telegraph School had with the diff
ferent railways. Instead of answer
ing directly the principal opened
his letter file and placed before us
a stack of letters. inviting US tt
read them. Quoting from the few
that we read, we find such para
graphs as the following:

Like all other busy western towns
Pendleton has sadly neglected the
subject of landscape architecture. But
it is not too late to begin such work,
AS indicated by the lecturer last eve
ming local people have an opportunity
ta make a beautiful place out of PEN
dleton. To make the needed improve
ments will not involve any vast ex-
pense but it will require taste and at
tentiOn, That some thought is al
ready being given to the subject is
proven by the fact that the ladies of
the civic club brought an expert here
tc lecture upon the subject. In their
work towards the beautifying of the
city the ladies should have the cheer
full cooperation of local businessmen
and property owners. 1t will be good
business to make this place more
beautiful and attractive. Such work
tends to make people who live here
more contented with their lot and it
also makes the city inviting to new
