OUR FOREIGN PAUpERs.

Statistics show that there are twice
as many Pats and Mikes in the poor
houses of the United States as there
are Hans and Heines. Forty-six out
of every hundred pauper-immigrants
first saw the sun rise from the shores
of the Emerald Isle. There is just
half the demand for kraut as there
would be if the Irish were German,
twenty-three of the same hundred pau
pers being Made in Germany"
Other nationalities are less numer-
Gus in the poorhouses because they are
less numerous in the fields and in the
cities. Austria and Italy are each rep
resented by one per cent in this Con-
gress of the Poor The reason for this
IS that they do meaner labor more
steadily than the Irishman, who de-
mands a policeman's uniform or fire.
mans helmet, or the German, who
turns his talents to manufacturing and
is frequently unemployed. The Scan-
dinavian and English immigrants en-
ter the almshouse five times as often
as their Latin brethren, probably be-
cause of the same demand for better
labor.
= But the Irish, Germans and Scandi-
nav.ans are much better citizens than
the immigrants from Italy and kindred
countries. Pat is our ward politician,
and puts his friends on the police
force; Hans is our corner grocer, and
buys the eggs and produce Ole brings
to market. Antonio and the un-name-
able Austrian, on the other hand, Ia
bor on the railroad, and in the tun-
nels of the newest East River tube.
All have their places in the great
American nation, and are represented
in the affairs of the nation as they are
in the almshouses.

About "Frat" Games.

Editor The Missourian: l wish to
make suggestion in regard to the
frat" games this year. In other years
the Pan-Hellenic games have been
played on other diamonds of the
athletic fields than the Varsity
grounds. Hence they could play at
the best hour of the day-from 4 to
3 o'clock. Last year it was changed So
that the teams could use the Varsity
bleachers and diamond, and the time
was changed to o'clock. This proved
successful, more spectators came to
see the games and there was a gen.
eral interest in Pan-Hellenic baseball.
There is one objection, however.
that proves we:ghty one with most
Of us. Many students in the Univer-
sity have o'clock classes.
And then did you ever stop to think
that the field has no south bleachers? I?
Since the new concrete stands have
not been constructed. where are the
spectators going to sit. especially the
women? If we do not have any seats,
where is the argument for the Varsity
field?
1t is universally admitted that 4 Or
even O'Clock is the best time. Why
not play the games at that time and
use some other diamond? The Uni
versity takes as much care of the
practice diamonds, of which there are
three, as it does of the Varsity field,
and when they are rolled they will
be every bit as satisfactory. or course,
there will be no seats for spectators,
but neither are there any at the Var
sity diamond.
Members of the Pan-Hellenic Coun-
ell. will you think about these things,
and if possible change your minds?

Student Politics.

Editor The MissOurian: Two months
ago there was a great agitation at the
University of Missouri for student
government. Mass meetings were/held
in which the great advantages to be
derived from the new system were
pointed out. Part of the planJ were
adopted by the students. In about two
weeks the last day on which candidacy
for Office can be announced will have
passed. So far not one candidate has
announced himself.
Surely there are men who desire
Office. Under the old system there
would have been much campaigning.
What is the matter with the politi-
clans at Missouri.
The new plan doubtless will be of
great advantage to those who become
interested in student politics. 1t will
give a broad insight into student life
and will prepare the way for future
usefulness.

clans at Missouri? T.

BUSINESS HONESTY HIS THEME
e. st. Elmo Lewis "Radiates Light
as a Public Speaker.

"A scholar in bu u.iness"-that is the
way one writer has characterized E
St. Elmo Lewis, advertising manager
of the Burroughs Adding Machine
Company of Detroit and president OF
the Association of National Adver.
|tising Managers. who will speak here
Journalism Week.
Mr.. Lewis is an advertising man
with ideas, an author and a forceful
public speaker on business topics.
James H. Collins, frequent con-
tributor to the Saturday Evening Post
and other periodicals, has this to say
of Mr.. Lewis as a speaker in a recent
article:
"As a public speaker, Mr.. Lewis
radiates light. Also heat. That hair
of his is an invisible red, and he will
t; Ike some broad moral or business
issue and talk to a convention like a
Dutch uncle. While he talks they
think he is an anarchist, but when
they get home and think it over they
see that he has merely been plead
ing for openness, business honesty,
public service. 1t is an old-fashioned
sermon, but he delivers it like a re-
vivalist who believes that the devil
is present, and when he finishes there
is. usually somebody ready to ask
questions"

COLUMBIA A DIFFERENT TOWN.

Columbia is peculiarly Columbia. 1t
has its own personality. 1t has all
that the average town of its size has
and an that many towns much larger
can claim. 1t has always been a con
servat:ve town, yet it has the proper
proportion of enterprise and hustle to
give it good healthy growth. Wit.
ness the many new buildings, the
paving of streets, provision for better
municipal conveniences, and the activ-
ity in behalf of factories and railroads.
But Columbia has what few towns
have. 1t has the inducement which
every year, for nine months, brings
5000 young men and women here TO
live. No man living in such surround
ings can offer as an excuse for grow
ing old the objection that he had not
the proper environment for keeping
young.
Columbia has a splendid society of
its own. It would be hard to find a
town with more good families" To

CATTLE EATTENlNe REPORT
College of Agriculture Finds Most
Profit in Two-Year.Olds.


Profit in Two-Year-olds.
"Fattening Cattle on Blue Grass
Pasture" is the title of bulletin just
issued by the College of Agriculture
of the University of Missouri. 1t is
the report of an investigation of the
factors of age, condition, kind of ra-
ton and length of feeding period IN
beef production, written by Dean F..
lB Mumford. The data was teken
from experiments made at the agri-
cultural experiment station covering
a period of five years. Thirty-six ex-
periments were made with 262 head
of cattle.
1t was found that fattening two and
|thrce-year-old cattle is generally more
profitable than fattening yearlings.
The margin between the buying and
selling price is less in the case OF the
yearlings than in the case of the two
and three-year-old cattle. The older
Cdttlc III q Shoit pSAA AOus -
Is not generally advisable to finish the
cheaper grades of yearlings.
The average of five years work
shows that where nitrogenous supple
ments were fed to young cattle the
rate of gain was greater than where
corn alone constituted the sole grain
ration. When the animals are in
fat or half-fat- condition at the be-
ginning of the feeding period. the
grain required to make one pound of
fat is increased. 1t was also found
that a supplement of one part lipsee1
oil meal or cottonseed meal to six
or seven parts of corn is valuable in
maintaining the appetite and in pro-
curing satisfactory gains in the last
stages of feeding period.

IT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN PRINT

To say John Doe is a fool, even
where ]. Doe can hear, may not cause
Mr.. Doe to use ugly words in reply
1t may. in fact, depend on who the 9th
ers are that hear the epitaph whether
or not he even looks up from his pea.
nut selling. Or he may simply smile.
To say And Doe is an honorable man"
may cause him to wonder what organi.
cation is about to solicit aid of him.
Or it may cause him to think-some-
thing else.
The meaning of speech isn't always
found in words. Indeed it often is not.
The manner of saying sometimes con-
veys more meaning than the words
and there is no reference book to inter-
pret manners of articulation.
This Interpretation of the meaning of
speech outside of words sometimes
causes the printed page to err. A
speech printed verbatim and read by
dozen persons may convey different
meaning to each. Printed words mean
only one thing. 1t is difficult to put
in ink the tone of voice or expression
of face which might have given words
a different meaning when spoken.
Thus John Doe resents or is pleased
by printed words when the same words
end even this word smile" describes
an act which may imply resentment
or pleasure. It's different in print.

THE E~REAsoN WHY" SERIES.

The article by President A. Ross
Hill on "The Practical Value of a Col.
lege Course" in the Reason Why
series in the University Missourian
is as able a treatment of the subject
as one could find in so small a com.
pass. Other articles will follow from
week to week.
President Hills closing paragraph
tells as much as some books: More
important than the facts learned or
the habits Of thinking acquired it
seems to me. are the ideals. intellec-
tual and ethical, that a college course
aims to foster. Ideals of thoroughness,
mental application, readiness to face
difiiculties and determination to mas.
ter them are useful traits in any call
ing, while a sense of honor and devo-
tion to great causes are of supreme
Importance in the social efficiency Of
any citizen. College instruction and
college life tend to give one truer
sense OF values, a better basis for
sound criticism of life and, believe,
also a greater responsiveness to the
great problems of life"

4 Poem for Today
Old Man Opp.

Some men are so disre-
spectful to Opportunity that
they refuse to speak to him
on the street and others are
so irreverent that they talk
of him behind his back as
old Man Opp"
The best friend that you've got in al
tn world is Old Man Opp.
He passes by your house each day an
always makes stop.
He isn't blessed with time. of course;
he hasn't long to stay
But if you're watchin' for him, he wit
help y NOW your hay.
An Old Man Opp will help y beat tn
Gloom Gods line o. dope;
He'll boost y up tn ladder with a
friendly supply of hope.
You'd better fix those shaky steps, an
oil your front-yard gate
An don't forget that Old Man Opp
has not much time to wait.
When y hear a speeky tappin' on tn
frosted window pane
Or there comes a low-toned rappin'
through tn fallin' O. tn rain
Don't get frightened at it. neighbor,
though you're shy of guns an
lead;
Don't think it's some bold burglar who
would steal your stove an bed.
Don't let your face get scared nor
think that bad men lurk outside.
But beat it toward tn sound you hear
an ope' tn front door wide.
The wolf was out there yesterday,
with his dentistry in view,
But now it's likely Old Man Opp
who wants to talk with You!

PROHIBITS CONSOLIDATION.
The Missouri School Statutes Plain
On This Subject.

The question, Can rural school
districts consolidate by doing away
with the little one-room schools and
transporting children to and from
schools in wagons?" has been asked
The answer is NO. The laws OF Mis-
souri, do not permit the use of public
school money in this way. This is
possible In some states, but not in
Missouri.
The laws of Missouri do permit
the consolidation for the purpose OF
maintaining central high schools
where they now are. adv
