A LARGER CAMPUS.

A University campus as wide as the
state is the aim of the University OF
Missouri. An educational institution
is of value only as it reaches persons
and instructs them. The three thous-
and who come to Columbia are only
a small part of all the people in the
state.
The College of Agriculture especi-
ally is living up to this aim. Every
year men go out from Columbia to
various parts of the state to hold
farmers short courses among the far
mers. Farmers institutes and fairs
of all kinds are attended, and thus
the University is constantly brought
into closer touch with the people of
the state.
The bulletins which the University
is continually publishing are another
phase of this taking the University
to the people. The extension courses
in Kansas City may also be men
toned.
The University of Missouri is get
ting away from the idea that educa-
ton is for the few, just as it long
ago got rid of the old superstitution
that college work should be entirely
academic. A greater usefulness is
certain to result.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-12-12

running her prestige and greatly
weakening her political and economic
position by making concessions, but
to fight. If she should decide to de-
fend her traditional claims and policy
by declaring war, the outcome would
depend very much on Russia's atti-
tude. So far, the great Slav power
has not expressed its feelings.
Austria's idea for the division diff
fers in that Servia does not 60 to the
sea but Austria's path remains open
to a port through Albania, which
would be more or less free and under
the tutelage Of Vienna and Pest Ser
via is offered, as a consolation, lar
ger slice of Macedonia than conceded
to her by the allies, and also is Of
fered an outlet to the Aegean Sea.
This. compensation is not given at the
expense of the vanquished nation but
at the expense of the victorious Bull
garia which would get a smaller strip
by this plan.
But what Of the feeling at st. Pc
tersburg? Will Russia back the "lit-
tie brothers" as they are popularity
called? Why are the Russian army
corps being mobolized. If it is is true
that they are? The little brothers"
have won some of the most decisive
victories in history and the "big
brothers" have held enthusiastic mass
meetings to celebrate. but the Rus
sian government has neither said nor
done anything to show what the Of
fetal sentiment is on the subject
Would the Russian government want
a Bulgarian empire with power on
both the Aegean and Black Seas and
Constantinople in its power?
These are questions no man can
answer now. However it is absurd to
think that the status quo''-the con-
ditions as when the war started-can
be restored since the balance OF
power has been so disturbed in the
short war. The danger is not immi-
+nent because the time has not come
for the division of the conquered
Turkish territory. Time will tell
whether these four little kingdoms
which are as a usual antagonistic
will remain together and derive from
their decisive victory the proper re-
ward.

ing arrangement. He concludes: "The
Missourian now has the good will of
the other papers and the general
friendship Of the community. The
young men and young women who
work upon such a newspaper get an
adequate conception of the problems
Of newspaper making in a town of
10000 people,"
Prof. Charles Dillon Of the journal
ism department of the Kansas State
Agricultural College receives much
favorable comment. "The Industrial
ist Is unique among newspapers, says
Professor Neal. "In Dillon's hands,
The Industrial may be called an ex-
traordinary sort of paper"
Prof. Merle Thorpe of the University
Of Kansas is quoted as saying: I'VE
try to induce our men to try to turn
to the smaller communities. We tell
them that the most numerous oppor-
tunities are to be found with small
weeklies or dailies. But we try to
send them there as journalists, not ru-
ralists. If they have the talent of the
journalist and to begin with, ordinary
familiarity with rural life, they will
make good newspaper men and build
up good rural papers,"
On Agricultural Journalism.
In the remainder of his article, Pro-
fessor Neal discusses the growth of
the agricultural press and the work
of schools of Journalism in state agri-
cultural colleges. He emphasizes the
value of the journalism departments
in the various agricultural schools by
statements from various authorities
on journalistic teaching.
"The conclusion is manifest" says
Prof. Neal. "The city papers for the
present at least, need men who know
rural affairs and are trained to jour-
nalism, because the city has awakened
to the country. City men are seeking
country or suburban homes. The city
paper is growing to keep the city
reader in mind Of the opportunities of
the rural life"

FOR A SANE CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come to mean to
many simply a time to buy and give
and receive. "I buy and give to you,
and you buy and give to me-" has
come to be the spirit of Christmas to
many. 1t is a time of the exchange
of useless gifts. But useless as most
of the gifts are, they cost much
money. So strong has this custom
been established that even the poor
est of the poor feel they must observe
it. As a result it works hardships,
besides being absurd.
In other words, the spirit Of Christ
mas has been lost, and in its place
has been put an irrational and alb
surd mercenary spirit. Reform must
necessarily come from the educated.
University students should not be
guilty of falling victim to a Christ
mas spirit so absurd and senseless
as the mercenary one that now ex-
lists. When they go home at vacation
time they should shock their friends
by not bringing a suitcase load Of
trinkets. Thus they will be instru-
mental in re-establishing a sane
Christmas spirit.

BALKAN WAR TALK.

The present situation in the Balkan
War is not one that will cause gen.
eral outbreak among the Great Pow
ers Of Europe but the division of the
conquered territory may cause it.
The kingdoms of Servia, Bulgaria,
Montenegro and Greece seem to be
able to combat the Turks without
calling in the Powers. AS Stephen
Bonsal says in Golfers Weekly, the
young nations Of the Balkans, weary
Of waiting on the European concert,
fired the Balkan powder mine and af-
ter a six weeks war are in position
to dictate terms to their traditional
oppressors.
Already the possible division OF
Turkey in Europe has been sketched
off both by the Balkan and by Aus
tria which has interests in the terri
torial possessions. especially along
the Adriatic Sea. By the Balkan plan
Bulgaria's dream is realized with q
big slice Of Macedonia-fo It was
the mistreatment Of Christians in thai
territory that caused the war. Rou'
mania is rewarded for her neutrality
by a long coveted strip along thu
Black Sea.
Servia expands to the Adriatic TAX

SETTING M!STLETOE
FROM OKLAHOMA
HOW THE KISSING PLANT is
GATHERED AND MARKETED.

Doubtless many people while pur-
chasing their Yuletide decorations
have often wondered whence come the
immense supplies Of mistletoe which
must be required to fill the great de-
mand for It during the holiday season
in the cities and towns OF those states
too far north for that parasitic growth
to. thrive, says F. ]. Sherman In
Country Life In America.
Among many Of the people native to
the states north of Kansas and Mis-
souri, who have never taken the trou-
BILE to look the matter up a sort of
general idea prevails that mistletoe is
to be found only at rare intervals,
after diligent search, and then on
oak trees, with only a few sprigs
growing in a place.
The traveller visiting Oklahoma City,
capital OF the new state of Oklahoma,
during the winter time and, taking a
walk out to Wheeler park, which Is
situated in the southwest part of the
town, will have this idea quickly dis.
PEELED from his mind, for at even a
considerable distance from the park
his attention will be drawn to the
strange appearance which the trees
present at that season of the year,
when the leaves are off and the mis-
tletoe thrives on every branch.
In the summer time, when the leaves
are on the trees, the mistletoe can
not be seen unless it is specially look.
ed for, and then it appears to be al
most a part of the natural foliage of
the tree upon which it is growing.
Contrary to general belief, mistletoe
is rarely found on oak trees and in
Oklahoma is nearly always found on
swamp or water elms, which are gen.
orally seen growing in lowlands and
along river banks. Here It thrives lux
uriantly..
There is but one species usually
found in Oklahoma out of the 400 odd
species known to exist, must OF which
are found in tropical countries and are
parasitic in nature.
In Oklahoma two or three weeks be-
fore Christmas the annual mistletoe
harvest Is generally by boys
who don't mind the dangerous and
risky job Of climbing into all sizes OF
trees after it-and brought to town.
where it is packed in barrels and boxes
and shipped to the northern cities and
towns, where, along with the holly and
evergreen, 1t finds place in those hap
ny homes which have not forgotten
