The Brookfeld merchants almost
swamped us this week with adver-

a couple of pages in order to get in

the news department because it
has been too cold to get out and
gather it in, but think that things
will be nearer the normal after
this week and hope to do better

country couple of weeks ago shows
no willingness to leave. The mer-
curry hovers around the zero mark

THE MILL TAX.

The mill tax proposal this year is
much broader in scope than was the
one submitted at the last election. If
it is accepted by the voters next No
vember it will provide more adequate
support for all the state schools.
1t was proposed two years ago to
levy a tax of three-tenths of a mill on
the dollar for the support of the Uni
versity. This time the amendment if
successful will levy one mill on the
dollar and provide support for the
other state schools in addition to the
University.
addition to the University.
One-third of the proceeds would be
given to the public schools of the
state, one-third to the state normals
and Lincoln Institute, and the other
third to the University. Thus the
University would receive a minimum
income of one-half million dollars
yearly.

GOOD ROADS AND TREES.

Missouri is spending large
amount of money for good roads, and
a wise expenditure it is. But there
is something that goes with good
roads, and while it is not absolutely
essential it adds much to their at
tractiveness.
This is the shade tree. A row of
trees along any country road is a
great improvement. Missouri is
great tree state. Satisfactory shade
could be provided at a nominal cost.
Its practical as well as artificial
value would soon be discovered by
the road where it was inaugurated.

COMMENCEMENT.

There are some who profess tC
believe the term, Commencement, Is
a misnOmer. They say graduation is
really the ending and not the begin.
ming. Perhaps it is not amiss to sug-
gest that it is both an ending and a
beginning.
OF late years there have been ex-
pressed some apprehensions as to
the real value of a college education.
Itmay appear as strange to some that
among these uncertain ones are to be
found many college graduates. To
them, commencement has been more
of an ending than a beginning-the
ending of dreams of easy conquest
To the graduate who views college
merely as stepping stone, COM
mencement is truly a beginning.
College men and women represent
IN a more or less marked degree, q
recess of survival. A four years
college course is pretty rigorous
test. an elimination formula that is
fairly reliable. With all due respect
to the .cold, cold, world" "the ex-
acting cares of business" and a few
of our old bromide friends, the strug-
gle for survival and supremacy is
not much keener or more strenuous
than in a college course. Perhaps
there is less sympathy. less encour-
agement, less helpfulness, outside of
college, but the elimination is GER
tainly not so great.
College is of all places a creator of
ideals. 1t is to be hoped that COM
mencement does not mark the end
ing of these fruits of four years on
campus and in class room. If it does |
the term is misnomer indeed.
