the people. or special session Of the
legislature would have to be called, or
finally. the legislature Of 1913 would
have to act on the matter.
Both of the amounts asked are small
when it is considered that Missouri Is
one of the few wealthy states in the
Union. 1t will-not be as great for Mis-
souri, today to vote FIVE million dollars
as it was for the younger state to sp-
propriatsd $3.50. 900 seventy years ago.
Both measures deserve the support Of
all loyal Missourians, and the best way
to be assured of new state house is
to support the first proposition. and II
it fails, work harder for the second.

ard says, would make these soils
profitable. Last fall the apple crop in
the district fifty miles north, south,
and east of st. Joseph sold for nearly
two and half million dollars"
In North Missouri the chief diseases
of the apple are the scab and the
blotch. Both Of these deform the fruit.
The principal insects are the codling
moth and the curculio. The first
causes wormy fruit and the other
stings the apple. The bag worm and
the bitter rat also did considerable
damage last season.
A combined spray which will destroy
the disease and also poison the insects
consists Of four pounds of copper sui.
phate (blue vitrioD, four pounds of
lime. two pounds of arsenate of lead.
and fifty gallons Of water. The first
spraying should be done after the
cluster buds have been opened but be-
fore the flowers are out, the second
just after the blooms have fallen and
the third from ten to fourteen days
after the second. The fourth spraying
should be given three Or four weeks
after the blooms have fallen.
This treatment" Professor How.
ard says. should insure clean, perfect
fruit which will command the highest
prices in the market"

The High Jump Record.

Editor The Missourian: There are
faults to find even in the best man
aged organizations. I wish to refer
to one feature in regard to breaking
track records in Varsity athletics.
1t is the ambition of every track
man to break a Varsity record.
Through certain technicality, Mis-
souri, high jumper broke the record un-
officially, but since he did not win first
plac in the event, the old, though low
er. record stands.
/ refer to the recent M. A. C. track and
field handicap meet in St. Louis. The
Missouri man had to compete against
Ffeheh, the Kansas high jumper, who
has a national reputation. The Mis-
souri, man was out-lucked-the bar
dropping on the last trial, while for
some reason it stuck when French
nearly knocked it of. A 6-inch handi-
cap man won, French came second,
and the Missouri representative last.
The Missouri mans jump was much
higher than the Varsity record, yet he
gets no credit for it. He Is handicap
ped by having to compete with prob
ably the best indoor high Jumper west
of the Mississippi, although he is prob
ably the best high jumper ever pro-
duced at Missouri. Despite his superb
orfty over previous Tiger jumpers. he
may fail to break the record, through
this technicality, because of his hav-
ing to compete with French. On the
face of it this seems defect, and if
a man makes a better mark than his
predecessors, Notwithstanding the fact
that he did not win first place, never
theless he is the best man who ever
competed with the school and
should at least have the honor of
broken record to his credit.
But the Missouri man will beat
French yet.

Spirit Of the Engineers.

Editor The Missourian: The st
Patrick's Day celebration by the engi
neering students is becoming a tradi
tion at the University of Missouri
Why they observe this day, or upoI
what grounds they assume that st
Patrick was an engineer, only the stu
dents of that department can under
stand. However it came about, it GER
tainly has served good purpose fol-
the students in the School of Engi
neering. 1t has served to instill into
them a love for their department and
their chosen profession, and loyalty
to each other that is unequalled in any
other department of the University.
There is not freshman engineer
who has once seen the ST. Patrick's
Day ceremony but begins to look for
ward to the day when he can kiss the
"Blarney Stone" It becomes his am
bition. 1t is worthy ambition too.
For the kissing of the "Blarney Stone
has q significance. 1t means that the
student who kisses the stone has done
his work faithfully for four years. To
be dubbed a knight of st. Patrick has
come to be an honor, second only to
the receipt of a certificate Of gradua-
tion from the University. In fact it
is equivalent to u certificate Of gradua-
tion. for only q senior engineer may
b come a knight of St.Patrick.
The students in the other depart
ments must admire the spirit of the
engineers. 1t is a good thing for them
and for. the University. May it never
wane. A. B.

FOR A NEW CAPITOL.


The Legislature of Missouri has
passed two bills to provide for the re
building of the capitol which burned si1
weeks ago. The first plan is for a
bond issue of three and one-half mill.
ion dollars to be approved. by a two
thirds majority of the voters of the
state. It will be voted on August I.
The second is for five MILLION dollars
and is in the form of q constitutional
amendment to be voted on in the gem
eral election Of 1912, and needs but a
majority. of those voting upon it to
carry. The success of the first prop
osition will preclude the necessity OF
voting upon the second.
Both issues OF bonds bear 3h per
cent interest. The bonds Of the small
er issue will be subject to state taxa
ton while those of the larger will not.
It is planned to pay OF the indebted
ness In Is years II the smaller amount
10 voted, while thirty years viii be
taken for the larger. A tax Of two
cents on the 800 will be levied for the
payment Of interest and the creation
OF a sinking fund.
Missouri's taxable wealth exceeds
billion and half dollars. Over $780,
600 would be raised under the two-cent
extra tax assessment. The money thus
raised would suffice to pay the inter-
est and obliterate the debt within the
period intended. The present state
tax is IL cents on the 800. and the 2
cents will increase it to 10 cents. 1t
II planned. however to reduce the tax
on the school debt cent, then making
the taxation 2 cents on the 500.
BY the provision of the resolution
for the smaller bond issue but $3.50, 900
may be spent for additional grounds.
while the five million dollar appropri-
ation permits the expenditure of $780,.
900 for that purpose. The grounds
which are to be purchased lie between
the Supreme Court building and the
old capitol grounds and probably will
not cost more than $125.O00. It is
planned to spend $4,000 on furnish
ings etc., the balance on the building
proper.
An appropriation of $4,000 has
been made by the legislature for the
repairing Of the old capitol for use
until the new can be erected. The
old capitol was built in the years from
ls3s-4o and was occupied for the first
time by the General Assembly OF 1841.
Il cost $3.50, 900 but has had nearly as
much more spent upon Il for improve
ments since that time.
Both bills provide for the capitol at
Jefferson City. This thwarts the efforts
Df any other city to secure the capitol
unless the initiative petition is used. |
IN case neither act carries. the initia-
live will have to be resorted to to |
create a new bill to be submitted to

breathing personality Of the human to
the complicated, machine-made news
paper of today, is not much Of the dy-
manic force Of the masterful individ-
ual lost in transmission?
There is certain suggestion of in
tangible and elusive responsibility
about the big modern newspaper
which is not apparent in the Courier
Journal under Colonel Watterson.
Neither could It have arisen in the
mind of the reader of Greeley's Trib-,
une, or Benefits Herald, or Ray
mond's Times. The effect of this i'm
preston is to detract from the papers
influence, in . measure. as compared
with the weight given by an earnest,
forceful. uncompromising personality
such as that of Watterson. or Greeley.
or any of the other great editors who
have helped to make American his
tory.
1t is not hard to find a lesson in
the life of Henry Watterson that may
be turned to value by the young jour-
nalist of today. The foundation for
the place he has won among the grea.
editors is his love for the work, his
all-embracing interest in and sympa-
thy for mankind. 1t would be as I'M
possible to confine a nature of Colonel
Watterson's type within the bounds of
a mercantile life and give 1t full de-
velopment and opportunity for bes.
service as it would be to cage the
eagle, and afford its pinions full play.
Colonel Watterson's work on the ed
itorial page of the Courier-Journal is
never lacking in virility, in sponta-
neity. in special interest. His is not
tue nature to leave one long in doubt
as to his attitude on matters affecting
the nation, or on the minor questions
which may be absorbing the attention
of his home city. He possesses that
courage, rare in the commercialized
newspaper of today. which is govern
ed solely by convictions of right and
wrong. and in reaching a judgment he
Is not moved by business-office in
fluence.
Tempered with prudence. this Is an
ideal the young journalist may well
keep in view.
OF the vocation of journalism, Col
onel Wattersof some years ago wrote:
"The profession Of divinity, Of law
or Of medicine exacts not more OF
its votaries than is exacted by the
profession of journalism. Nor has
the divine. the lawyer or the doctor
greater opportunity for usefulness and
power. No higher calling exists on
earth than that of the journalist, who
has prepared himself by faithful study |
md conscientious apprenticeship. and
8 suited to his work by natural af-
lection and aptitude. He should be
proud of it. He should permit it to be |
'anked second to none. Not by vain |
glorious self-assertion, not by indivil-
lal exploitation and bravado should |
ne maintain it and defend it, but by |
painstaking handicraft, RESP
ng upon a modesty which knows its |
place and dignity which will not |
brook the sights either of familiarity |

THE CHANGING COLUMBIA.

When d former resident or student
comes back to Columbia he is imme
diately struck with the change which
has taken place in Columbia since he
left it. Columbia is different from
what It was ten years ago. Not only
has Columbia grown industrially. and
numerically. hut the town has been i'm.
proved in many other ways.
But while Columbia is different
from what it was ten years ago, it
promises to be a different town ten
years from now. With the coming of
the electric railroads and more facto-
ries. Columbia probably will double its
size again. With this prospect in view
care should be taken to make Colum-
bia different in other ways. The town
IS growing in size. 1t should also grow
in improvements. The, time to plan a
city 10 while it is growing.
Columbia is different. 1t will never
remain the same. A growing town is
constantly changing, and it rests with
the citizens whether this change wall
be for good or for bad.

To keep such pictures where hey

to show off all kinds of coiortngs il

How to Clean a White Sweater.


Is your white sweater soiled and
mussy looking since you returned
from your vacation:
Take a pan of clean, sifted wheat
-four and submerge the sweater, then
pat and souse it for ten minutes,
shake 1t well and put fresh -four on
it. Let stand about thirty minutes,
shake it out and let it hang where
he air can blow through it, being care
full not to stretch it, This is also
good for white feathers.
If it is really dirty shake out all
dust, drop it in slightly warm water
and stir around. Place in clean,
warm, soapy water with teaspoonful
Of boraX in it, gently SOuSe up and
down, and if there are any greasy
spots rub soap on your hands and
manipulate the sweater, but do not
allow bit of soap to come in contact
with the wool Rinse in three clear
warm waters and add few drops Of
bluing to the final water. Press the
water out, place in a large pillowcase
and suspend the four corners by
bank" pins over the tub for three
days, then spread on a sheet ON the
| grass in the sunshine for a day or two
until dry. This method was given by

BOOKS NEED CLEANING.
How to Care For Libraries So Vel.
umes Will Be Preserved.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less In the han
ding often than upon the shelves.
Many Il reader who would scorn to
bend book back when open will put
it to worse strain on the shelves.
Books should not he packed tightly
on a shelf 1t ruins the backs and
causes them TO tear loose with the
strain Of putting in and pulling out.
Often It forces the leaves to sag to the
shelf when pushed unduly.
1t is just as bad for books to be too
loose on shelf. IS they W27T ana the
spreading leaves encourage dust. A
bookcase with the contents at every
angle is not a pleasing sight.
There are some hOusekeepers who
think a yearly dusting Of books at
hOusecleaning time sufficient This is
bad enough when they are kept under
glass; when on open shelves it means
ruin to valuable books 1t takes little
longer to dust the backs and tops Of
books on each shelf every day. Use a
soft cheeseclOth or silk duster and
shake it frequently
Many valuable books are ruined at
hOusecleaning time. This should be
twice year and Is not a burden if
Systematically done shelf at a time.
The old plan Of heaping the contents
of library indiscriminately has moth
ing to recommend It, See that shelves
are dried after washing as boUks are
ruined by dampness.
In dusting the book itself clap the
backs lightly together, then dust the
outside Never use damp cloth on q
book If it has been wet absorb most
of the moisture with blotter ana soft
cloth, then dry under pressure to pre-
vent warping.
Forbid young people to handle books
until they know how to protect them.
It is well to use covers to protect a
book when held by grimy young hands.
These can now be bought in different
sizes to fit almost any book and can be
used repeatedly.

How to Make a cornueopia.

Where the Christmas tree is small
and it is desired to find place for more
presents than it will hold cornucopia
can be effectively used in connection
with the tree. Get barrel and firkin
hoops Of different sizes and over them
fasten flexible strips Of wood or the
suckers from an old stump or tree.
The strips may be nailed or they can
be secured with bits Of string or small
wire. After the cornucopia is shaped
make a lining of cheesecloth in the
form Of bag. fastening the outer end
to the big end of the horn" and pull
ing the other end inside and making
It taut. Then wrap Grape paper over
the outside of the frame and the cornu-
ropia is finished.

but there are other ways of pro.
curing liquor and people buy it
in large quantities and take it
home for consumption. Drink
ing in a dry county has not stop
ped.
1t was our opinion, and is yet,
that coincident with legal enact

work to save the drinker.
Father Mathew, John R. Cough,
Lyman Beecher and Francis Muir
ply furnish us bright examples
of temperance workers on the
moral line. These great men
turned thousands from the drink
habit.
There is need of something on
that line even now; for in spite
of legal enactments intoxicants
are consumed in large quantities
and thousands are made drunk
ards every year. Is there no
need of temperance revival?
Well, now, if the Dean bill be-
comes a law in Ohio it may ar
ouse the friends of temperance

Washington Letter.

Washington, Jan. 27.
The action of the United States
in generously waving the in
demnity of $11, ,OOO,OOO resulting
from the Boxer uprising in China
has borne good fruit. China has
since regarded this country as
her best friend, and has sought
advice and guidance from us
on matters affecting her inter-
national relations. At the pres
ent time the Chinese government
is defraying the expenses of up
wards of one hundred students
every year in American univer-
sites. These students, as they
graduate, return to China and
are scattered among the differ
ent provinces of China for the
purpose of gradually American
izing the people and customs of
that country.
