WHOLE THING A FRAUD.
Game Warden John B. StrSman Gives
Up Job and Why. !.

Game Warden John E. Stroman,
Of Springfield, who was recently ap-
pointed by Gov. Blease has resigned.
In his letter of resignation to the
Governor Mr. Stroman says: Sat
the time of my appointment as game
warden for this county I was of the
opinion that the people would in a
measure support me in me enforce
ment Of the laws relatia g 10 game
and fish. Almost daily i receive let
ters telling of the violation of the
laws shooting dynamite, using traps
etc.-but in no instance have found
them willing to go into the courts
and testify as to the guile of the par
ties named.
Having no funds at my command
by which the laws can he enforced,
I am, in justice to my feelings in the
matter, forced to- offer y,u my resig-
nation. I will not countenance a
half-hearted stand in this matter, and
will either prosecute the parties vio-
lating the laws or will lay down the
bars and allow every body to shoot
the bottom out Of the river, and
thereby entirely destroy every ves-
t;ge of fish.
"Our near neighbors In an adjoin-
ing county come down here by droves
armed with dynamite and Winches-
ter rifles, fully filled with their own
family brands of corn whiskey and
after breaking loose as many boats as
may be needed, proceed to blow up

takes care Of his own,' and that they
have little to fear, except the inevi-
table headache, caused by the free
dom Of the bottle of liquid hell that
they always carry with them.
"This whole thing is a fraud as it
stands. The fish in the rivers be-
tween Barnwell and Orangeburg
counties are being slaughtered by
men who do not live in either county,
and the officers sworn to enforce the
laws appear to be paralyzed with fear
Of the Winchester rifles always car
ried by the law-breakers.

INTERNATIONALISM.

lnternationalism is a comparatively
modern institution. In 1851 the first
world exposition was held in England
Since that time worlds fairs have be,
come frequent. At these fairs the
achievements of the various nations
are shown. Nations compare their
work in still other ways. An inter,
national town-planning exhibition was
held in London some months ago, and
at the third national conference of
city planning now being held in Phila-
delphia, the chief feature is the in
ternational exhibition.
Internationalism is growing. Coun-
tries are beginning to see how much
they can learn from one another. The
method one country uses in solving its
problems is of interest to the others.
The world is more nearly one nation
that ever before.

PUBLICITY AND DISEASE.

A tribute was paid the newspaper
when DIR. Woodson Moss said that pub.
licity was as great prevention of
disease as of corruption in politics.
There is much talk of what the doc
tor has done to diminish sickness and
death, but little attention has been
paid to what the journalists has done.
The newspaper is efficient in the
prevention of disease. 1t informs the
world when plague is devasting one
country and so causes the other ma
tions to take greater precautions
against it. 1t incities the people to
improve the sanitation of the commu-
nifty.
Surely the world owes much to its
medical men. Without their efforts
and successes the death rate would
be far greater. But without the news
paper to make their discoveries known
to all, they would be less effective.

EXPENSE OF GRADUATION.

| City high schools set good ex
ample in at least one regard for uni
versity students-that of cost OF grad
uation. The girls of the Springfield
Mass, high schools have this year
agreed to wear simple whit dresses,
and to wear these same dresses
at the annual dance. Gloves will not
be worn, and unless rain is falling
no carriages will be used
Few students are graduated from a
university who have not studied eco
nomics in some form, and perhaps
fewer think of applying what they
have learned when the excellent op-
portunity presents itself at graduation
time. The individual student can
hardly be expected to apply his knowl-
edge at this particular time, except the
one who is compelled to do so-and
then it isn't economy, it's necessity.
The desire of most individuals, at
least at graduation age. to make
showing" is not measured absolutely.
1t is more often relative. If univer-
sity students would unite in their eco
nomy, the relative showing would be
the same and the total saved would
be large.
The university graduation, is most
cases, comes at the end of four
year drain on the bank account of
father. He, of all concerned, probab-
ly would appreciate most the "combi-
nation in restraint of expenses"

TELLS IMPORTANCE
Of SWATT|NG FLIES
S. Nj Jordan Names Insects as
Efficient Carriers of Small
pOx Germs.
ADVISES INVESTIGATION
Says Health Board Might
Prosecute Owners of
Breeding Places.

Editor the Missourian: What OF this
lily story?
This is on the supposition that each
female lays 120 eggs at a time; that
there are seven generations in a sea
son; that no flies or eggs are de-
stroyed; that all hatch; and that it
would take 100000 flies to fill a half
bushel measure.
If it be true that from one female
| fly there would be seven generations,
what would be gained by swatting the
early fly?
1t is said that each female lays
about l2O eggs at a time and that the
brood is ready for reproduction in
about fourteen days. Counting that all
Ieggs hatch, and that half, or sixty, of
the young are females. then in the
seven generations there is the enOr
nous sum of 4O,126.779 $50 females
born during the season of seven gen.
erations
Ii would require about 100000 flies
to make bushel Then from 40, ,126,-
$50 female flies there would be
more than 100000 bushels. Five hun
dred bushels TO a car load would re-
quire forty cars, or two trains of
twenty cars each.
many males as females. so if all the
eggs hatched and the young matured,
and both male and female were filled
into half-bushel measures and meas
ures placed side by side in line,
starting at the Katy" station and
placed along the track the line
would reach nine miles beyond Sc
dalia. This is reckoning the half
bushel measures as twelve inches in
diameter
Maybe these figures are fearfully
wrong, but try ii once and see.
Wouldn't it pay to swat" the early
fly?
Now since Columbia has a real live
health board. would it not be well to
have barns and stables investigated to
determine where fly breeding places |
are maintained. Where these are
found. can not the owners be prose-
secuted for maintaining a nuisance?
Smallpox is spread by germs be-
ing carried and where there are flies |
that alight even on the clothing of the |
sick no more efficient carrier can be |
found than the house-fly.
Why not have cleanup?

GROWING AMERICAN CITIES

Authorities tell us-and the signs

tion-that the problem of the city is
largely problem of tomorrow, that
the urban population will continue to
grow. With this fact in mind, one
clearly realizes the need of making the
city good place to live in

morrow, Mr.. Howe shows that the

venience, beauty and happiness,-that
it should be a city for all the people.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS,

| IF all the savings bank depositOrs
should withdraw their savings on the
same day, there would not be enough
money in the United States to pay
them if all of our gold, silver, paper
Nancy and fractional coin should be
given to them," says DIR. William B.
Bailey in the Independent magazine,
May 4.
In 1910 there were 9.142,90S depos-
itors in the 1.159 savings banks of this
country, with total deposits amount.
ing to $4,070,OOO 900. In 1920 there
were less than 5000 depositors. In
addition TO the amount in savings
banks, there is nearly six hundred mil
lion in 5000 national banks. This
would bring the total savings subject
TO the call of depositors up to nearly
five billion dollars.
II the depositors were equally di-
vided. each deposjtor would have

was S131.S6. Depositors in the Pacific

WAIT FOR GOOD MUSIC.

Everyone is disappointed that :he
special committee of musicians Sc
lected to make an award of $1,000 for
a Missouri state song did not find
suitable music as well as words.
But disappointment is lost in the hope
that the selection will be good when
they do finally settle on piece of
music. Missourians do not want any
thing as dolcful and lugubriOus as the
AS music loving public they are
willing to wait rather than have some
thing inferior thrust upon them.

AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS

The teaching of agriculture in many
of Missouri's rural and high schools
is a fact worthy of notice-the more
so on account of its recent appearance
and rapid growth. About six years
ago the first instruction in agriculture
was given to students in the summer
session at the University of Missouri,
and as a result of this training, agri-
culture is being taught now in 207 high
schools and 213 rural schools of this
state.
This rapid growth must be largely
due to the favorable condition through
out the state for such instruction. 1t
indicates that many of the students in
the public schools want to know some
thing about agriculture. This is not
strange, since Missouri is largely a
rural state.
The introduction of agriculture into
the public schools is a good movement.
II the pupils in the rural and
high schools did not feel an in
tereSt in its study il would not have
extended so rapidly. Many of those
students who take it will go no far
ther than the high schools and
since many of them will become farm
ers. some training in the work which
they will engage in will be offered
them. And as all efficient work reacts
on the state, a more productive Mis-
souri, will be the result.

1900 PUBLICATIONS IN JAPAN
Every Town of More Than 10000 Has
At Least One Newspaper.


More than eighteen hundred news.
papers and magazines are printed in
Japan. Every town of more than ten
thousand has one newspaper and usll-
Tally more. The leading Toxic daily
newspaper claims a circulation of $780,.
900 copies; the Asahi and the Mai
nichi of Osaka claim a daily circula-
ton of 100000.
Journalism in Japan is nearly three
hundred years old, but the publication
of newspapers there as distinct en-
terprise is recent. Until after the
middle of the Nineteenth Century such
news sheets as were published were
somewhat of the nature of bulletins
roughly printed from wooden blocks
and issued at irregular times by any
one who saw fit to have them pre-
pared. The first of the great dailies
of later times was the Yokohama Mai
nichi Shimbun, which made its first
appearance about forty years ago. 1t
was afterward moved to Toxic, where
it is still published as the Toxic Mai
nichi.
The press of Japan is as free as
that of any other civilized country.
No restraint is placed on the discus
sion of public affairs as long as there
is no offense to public morals and no
menace to public Order-Philadelphia

TO CHANGE CURRICULUM.
Superintendent of New York Cit,
Schools Wants New Courses.

That there is going to be somewhat
of change in the high school curri
culum is assured through the nature OF
the reports which the investigators of
the course have prepared to submit
to the authorities. City Superintend.
ent William III. Maxwell appointed
committees in all the boroughs to in
vestigate the problem and they have
assigned various reasons for the drop
ping out of so many pupils from the
high schools before they have finished.
1t has been found that only l. per
cent of the pupils graduate and only
10 per cent of them on time. The pres
ent highEchoOl curriculum needs chang.
es to make it best adapted to meet the
needs OF many thousands who at pres
ent receive little benefit from their
high school work. "A :,-course dinner
is not served by a wise caterer to a
man who has time to eat merely a
quick lunch''
A boy who leaves high school after
short time would be more benefited
and better fitted for citizenship, which
is the goal all education in the public
schools strives for by having a course
in political economy, civics, engineer
ing and history than by the smatter-
ing of Greek and Latin he acquires in
the time he is there. This would be
