It's Basketball Now.

Editor the MissOurian: Many stu
dents apparently do not realize that
the first Varsity basketball game of
the season is only few days off,
With the Ames game staring us in
the face. the team is poorly organized,
and will need the support of every
student to get out to Rothwell gym
nasium and cheer them as you do
at the football games. Coach Brewer
is making his men work. just like
Roper, and shows he has the winning
spirit. and he will demand great things
in the roofing line, better than any
thing the students have given yet at
basketball games.
Shall he have it? Let's start in
right at the first and work up enough
enthusiasm to win those Ames games,
and then get ready for Nebraska and
Kansas, and win the Missouri Valley
championship. We did not officially
beat Kansas this year, and it is up
to us to turn the trick in basketball.
So let us support the Tigers in this
sport more than we ever have before.
Basketball is a more strenuous
game than football, and every player
needs spur in the shape of con-
tinous roofing to keep up his fighting
spirit when mere physical strength
fails. The winning of basketball
games rests with you as much as it
does with the players. Do you want
winning team this winter? Then
get out and root.

THE AIR MEET.

At present one of the questions
which is discussed by the American
people is whether or not the air meet
should be permitted. Many papers
are pointing out that the recent deaths
of Johnstone, Hoxsey and Moissant
have called attention to the air meet
as a needless sacrifice of human life.
With the list of aviators who lost
their lives in the last year, it would
be inconsistent to contend that the
air meet has not proved itself. in a
way, hinderance to the science of
flying. Hoxsey and Moissant, as well
as Johnstone, were in their prime, and
what they might have accomplished in
aeronautics, had they lived, is hard
to estimate. And. yet, if the air meets
were abolished. progress in the science
of aviation would doubtless become
less rapid. The decrease in public
interest thus caused would take away
one of the greatest motives for new
achievement in this line.
The New York Herald suggests that
these airships undergo an official test
and examination before they are al
lowed to enter contests. 1t is believed
by the Herald that the deaths of
Chavez. Johnstone, Hoxsey and Mois-
SAINT were caused by some defect or
weakness in their machines
As yet aeronautics is somewhat of
an experiment. The development of
airships has not yet reached that
stage which will enable the birdmau
to be safe in sudden change of at.

Agriculture. Mr. Wilson considers the
Farmers Institute perhaps the most
important, and to this he has given
especial attention. The results is that
this feature for advancing the inter-
est of the farmer has progressed as
never before in the history of the
Board. Where the Board once had to
hunt for opportunities to hold farm
ers' institute. today il is impossible
to put enough lecturers in the field
to meet the calls that come for insti-
tutes from every part of the state.
While the Board of Agriculture
through it's secretary is called upon
to answer ten thousand questions an
nually from the farmer, the query for
information is not all on the side of
the farmer. for the secretary sends
out each month list of questions on
crop conditions to six hundred farm
ers. representing the ia counties of
the state. On the first Saturday of
each month during the growing sea
son. crop report, compiled from the
returns from these questions. is pub
|lished. These reports represent an
intelligent. unprejudiced and compre-
hensive discussion of yield and value,
and serve as a safe basis for buyer
and seller. In the words of Mr.. Will
son: The prospective purchaser of
land. by consulting these reports. is
able to get some very valuable and re-
liable information concerning crop
conditions. the output and surplus of
the particular county in which he may
be interested. No sensible business
man would think of buying business
without looking over the books. Farm
ing is a business. One of the most
valuable features of these state crop
reports is that they make it impos-
sible for unscrupulous spectators to
beriously influence the markets by
bogus and misleading reports"
The annual report of the Board OF
Agriculture is a distinct contribution
to the knowledge of the resources
and of the opportunities that are with
in the boundaries of Missouri.
Farmers Week" as the annual
gathering of farmers at Columbia has
come to be designated, is feature in
the uplift of the agricultural interests
of the state which originated with the
Board of Agriculture. With the hearty
of the Agricultural Col.
lege of the University of Missouri,
which furnishes instructors for four
days farmers school, Farmers Week
has risen in importance to the one
big event of the year.
BY every test that can be applied.
the evidence supports the conclusion
that the farmer of Missouri is today
as perhaps never before looking to
help from science" that the really
prosperous farmer of tomorrow. the
representative agriculturist who has
come into his own" will be the
scientific farmer" the man who has
been scoffed at by all who were welded
to the furrow of their fathers.
In enlightening the Missouri farmer
as to the wider scope of his oppor-
tunities, the greater reward that
should be his. the State Board of Agri-
culture. largely through the instru-
mentality of it's secretary. is factor
OF first importance. +. w. G..

THE GREATEST SERVICE.

Because of unfair public criticism, a
philanthropist of New York has de-
cided to close milk depots which have
helped to reduce infant mortality in
that city. Thousands who will now
reach maturity were saved from death
in early childhood through the kind
ness Of this man.
What efforts can be more productive

QUEUES OFF.

One hundred and fifty leading Chi
nese citizens met at the residence of
WI Ting Fang. formerly minister to
the United States, and after a discus
sion decided to cut off their queues in
public on January 15. WI Ting Fang
is an enthusiastic supporter of the
movement" Such is a news story in
a recent city paper To those unac-
quainted with Chinese customs it must
be stated that the queue is highly es-
teemed as a mark of standing among
the Chinese and to disgrace one no
surer means can be taken than that
of cutting off his queue. Thieves are
thus treated to brand them with dis.
honor. Hence it can be seen that this
movement will cause wide comment,
indicative, perhaps, of the Westerniz-
ing of China that is slowly but surely
coming. At present there are thous-
ands of Cinnamon who have cut off
their queues and adopted the Western
style of dress. They are the fore
runners of the civilization of China.
Furthermore, those who have taken
this step are in most cases conversant
with the English language and are in
some way connected with foreigners.
The Chinese themselves look upon
those who dress in Western style and
speak English as superior to the av-
erage. As imitation is a feature of
the Chinese it is only logical to expect
those who wish to get into the newer
learning to follow the lead. Thus We
see the Importance of leading men TAX
ing such an action; it will be stimu-
lus' to break away from the traditions
that have bound the Chinese for gen.
erations.
