THE PRICE OF HAIRCUTS.

The BARRIERS of New York have de-
cided not to advance the price of
haircuts. They believe the price they
are now charging, % cents, is enough
for them to meet the high cost of
living There was much talk of in
creasing the price to 80 cents because
OF the increased use of the safety
razor BARRIERS the country over
argued that since the safety razor was
finding so much favor with shavers
they were unable to exist on haircuts
alone at - cents apiece. However.
the price of 50 cents did not find favor
in Chicago, and the haircutters there
say men have their hair cut less fire.
quently. Likely the price will soon
drop back to % cents. for the BARRIERS
realize men will grow long hair un-
less the price of cutting is lowered.

Viewpoints
Student FriendlineSS.

Editor the Missourian: Students
should be more sociable. 1t is a fact
that very often students in the same
class pass each other the whole Sc
mester without the least sign of
recognition. This is bad Specially
for the new students, who are away
from home for the first time. They
miss the lack of companionship and
words of cheer. A CHEEKY Good
Morning, if nothing more, helps
much to keep up their spirits. The
upper classmen of the University
ought to make it point to speak to
every one they meet. 1t would help
wonderfully to make the atmos-
phere about the University more
sociable. c. l..

WHEN PROHIBITION PROHIBITS

Very often you hear the question,
Does prohibition prohibit On the
whole the answer is Yes" 1t pro-
hibits in the sense that it keeps much
liquor from being consumed. If you
say it does not prohibit, merely be-
cause there is a little whisky con-
sumed in dry territory, then you are
looking at the question in a very mar
row way.
If the prohibition law does not pro-
hibit drinking neither does the murder
law prohibit murder, neither does the
larceny law prohibit robbing, neither
does the kidnapping law prohibit kid
mapping. There will never be a time
when there will be no murders, no
stealing, no robbing.
In the same way there will never be
a time when there will be no liquor
consumed. But does anybody want
the murder, larceny ard kidnapping
laws repealed? Not even the lowest,
most selfish criminal wants this.
1t is really the man behind the gun
that makes the law effective. In some
parts of the country murders can be
committed with less chance of pun
ishment than in others, just as in
some dry sections it is easier to break
the local option law than in others.
1t takes a prosecuting attorney who
will get down the old law book; dust
off the old typewriter and pound out
a few warrants against the offenders.
That is the thing that makes the laws
obeyed in some places more than in
others
So the next time you howl about the
local opeion law not being enforced
remember that it is your duty as a
citizen to report these violations to
the prosecuting attorney, and. if nee
essary, to make things so uncomfort-
able for him that he will have to
prosecute. Nine times out of ten,
however, you will find that you won't
part as a good citizen you'll find that
prohibition does prohibit.

Now for Basketball.

Editor the NIissOurian: There is a
regretful lack of interest in athletics
at the University of Missouri aside
from football Now that the football
season is gone and forgotten-let
us not permit our spirit to die out.
1t would not be wise to continue
mass meetings foo basketball, track
and baseball. for then football mass
meetings would not have that spirit
and interest that they now have.
However, we should take more notice
OF the Other sports. Few of the stu
dents knew when or where the Mis-
souri, cross-country team would COM
pete in the big Eight" meet.
After such an admirable season of
yelling and backing of a Missouri
team. even in defeat, it would not be
wise to be Indifferent to any extent
to our coming season of basketball.
Our three yell leaders, who deserve
much praise, could keep the "Old
Guard" going during the basketball
season. No doubt they will do so.
If the games are as well attended as
they were last year there will be no
lack of rooters.
A successful basketball season
backed by good spirit is our next
goal. T. X. R.

Wants a "Military Day" Here.

Editor the NIissourian: At the
University of Missouri we have Far
mers' Week. Journalism Week and
also days given over to celebrations
in the other departments. There is
even talk of having Religious Week.
But why not have a day for the mill
tary department. say calling it Mill
tary Day? 1t could be featured by
competitive drills between the cadet
companies, a sham battle and patri-
otic speeches. OF course the Baron
ess Won Suttner would strenuously
object to this, but she is far from
here now. And since the military de-
partment is to be permanent, more
interest could be taken in it by stu
dents. Military day would do much
to stir up this favorable interest.
Why not have such day next
spring? G. T. T.

BEST OF PROSPECTS
. FOR GOOD WHEAT CROP
WINTER HAS BEEN MOST FA-
VORABLE.
Plenty of Snow Has Given Good
Protection. Crop Report Shows
Very Small Percentage of Re-
ported Injury. Good Average Is
Shown in Live Stock.

The report of crop conditions in
Michigan on March 1st as sent out
by the state department last week,
gives very favorable report on
wheat. The severe weather of the
past three months might have been
thought to have injured this crop
but of the many correspondents,
reporting from all parts of the
State, but small percentage re-
port any injury to wheat. The
heavy covering Of snow has been
the protecting angel of wheat rails
ers and the prospects are very
bright for big crop. The report
follows:
Wheat-In answer to the ques-
ton, "Has wheat during February
suffered injury from any cause?"
80 correspondents in the state an
swer "yes" and 553 "no;' in the
southern counties 63 answer "yes,
adm 251 mo- in the central coun-
ties 13 answer "yes" and 1877 mo-"
in the northern counties 9 answer
"yes" and 1877 "no" and in the up
per peninsula % answer "no."
Snow protected wheat in the
state and southern counties %
days; in the central counties 27
days and in the northern counties
and upper peninsula 20 days.
The average depth of snow on
February 18th in the state was 1918
S.55; in the central counties SAT;
in the northern counties 13.4S and
in the upper peninsula 1897
inches. On the Doth the average
depth of snow in the state was
1887 inches; in the southern coun-
ties 8.84; in the central counties
1909; in the northern counties
1886 and in the upper peninsula
1892 inches.
The total pumher cf bushels Of
wheat marketed by farmers in
February at 107 FIGURING mills is
260,019 and at 116 elevators and to
grain dealers 293,672, or a total Of
553,691 OF this amount 444, ,248
bushels were marketed in the
southern tiers of counties, 90,620
in the central counties and 1898
in the northern counties and upper
peninsula.
The amount Of wheat yet re-
naming in possession of growers
is estimated at 4,428,000 bushels.
Sixty-seven mills, elevators and
grain dealers report no wheat pur-
chased in February.
The average condition of live
stock in the state is reported as
follows, comparison being made
with stock in good, healthy and
thrifty condition.: Horses and
swine, 81; cattle 90 and sheep 90.

After being at Fort Sam Houston
about six months Elmer's regiment
was transferred to the Panama ca
nal zone. They went to Galveston
and thence aboard a transport for
Colon. They enjoyed a four days
sail over the beautiful blue Carri-
bean Sea meanwhile living on rot
ten potatoes, rotten beef, rotten
pork and stale bread Of the vintage
of 1905.
While outside of the United
States the ration allowance is larg-
er than it is at home, but in Colon
the rations were worse than at Fort
Sam Houston.
Intending recruits are told all
about what great chances there are
for promotion, and some few men
who can stand the life do gain pro-
notion; very few even succeed
in getting commissions, but most
any enlisted man can raise himself
to the elevated position of "dog
robber" or lackey to one of the Of
ficers and thus gain the inestimable
privilege of shining the officers
shoes, brushing his clothes and per-
forming such other menial services
for his lord and master. For this
service he may receive for his re-
ward certain little tit-bits which
might otherwise be fed to the dogs,
hence the name Of dog robber."
After spending four or five
months in Colon Elmer came to the
conclusion that he had served I'm
Gle Sam long enough, so he bought
himself out of the service at cost
Of S120 and sailed for home a wiser
young man. He says he wouldn't
take $1,000 for what he has learned
but it would take more than that to
induce him to do it over again. No
more soldering for him.
If you think army life is cone
grand sweet song" just ask Elmer.
