doing them.
Now, the question Is how are we
going to do this?
Alright to say we are back num-
bers tell us how to get out of the
list.
Alright, Here's the receipt:
Get at it and do some of the prod
ding yourself.
1t hurts to be jobbed in the rear
all the time. Gets to be an old
story and a man gets sick of it.
But why not take hand at the job
bing yourself?
To be plain about it there is no
law that compels any man to be a
poor farmer. There is fair field
and no favor here. The sun shines
just as bright in one county Of our
state as it does in another. The
conditions of success are pretty
much the same the world over. OF
course soils differ, 80 do markets
and other local environments, but
there are never a handicap to the
man who means business. 1t is our
part to overcome them all and we
can do it.
Set one man down in desert and
he will starve to death. Just in the
same spot another man will tap a
vein of water down in the heart Of
old mother earth and make himself
a good home.
If we have a poor lot of cows or
other stock what hinders us from
making them better? There are
better COWS. We can let the old
herd go aud gather about US herd
that will do better work than
we ever dreamed of before. Same
way with sheep or poultry or any
other kind of farm animals. Not
less true is it In the crops we grow.
This seems simple doesn't it? 1t
isn't. 1t takes years of work and
hard work too.
A man must be patient and work
steadily on for long time to make
defeat over into victory but if he
does all his work with a song aud a
CHEEKY heart there is a lot of com
fort In it after all.
We may make our farm homes
little bits of paradise and | am. not
so sure but they will be Just as
bright and just as happy places as
any we ever will see.
If We do not live IN the kingdom
here we never will live in the king
dom anywhere else. And there is a
Joy at seeing things grow better
that is a satisfaction beyond mon.
ey consideration. Money is moth
ing anyway The happiness of do
ing things worth while is what
counts. 1t is the only thing that
count, too.
There is nothing in all the world
that will help man to step higher
and to feel the thrill Of heaven in
his heart like making some little
spot In the world better and more
home like, 1t may not be more
than ten acres square but if we have
built 1t up so that it grows more
crops, looks better, and adds to the
happiness of some one little better
we have done enough to entitle us
to a place in the hearts Of thoes

LIGHTING DARK PLACES.

Some activity has been shown the
last week or two toward better
lights i'm the residence districts. This
is gratifying to the people who must
pass along the streets where new
lights have been placed.
While the lights are not the best
or the biggest money could buy they
are much better than no lights at ALL
If the city cannot afford to put arcs
all over town it is showing wisdom
in spreading out the appropriations
as far as possible.
The people have waited a long
time for better lights in the residence
districts. Now that the new power
plant is being completed their wait
should be brought to a reasonably
early close.

GRASS BUTTER.

Ii used to be that grass was fair
ly public commodity. just like air,
but it will not be SO long. A scientist
has discovered that you can make
butter out of grass. Personally We
knew how to make butter out of
grass by turning the grass into a
COW and then churning her milk.
But this scientist proposes to leave
out the COW.
OF course We can all see what this
will lead to. Every patch of grass
will soon have high fence around
it, and people will give themselves
up to the study of cultivation of
grass. 1t will be added as a depart
ment of the College of Agriculture.
and lead to an hOnors degree. And
the L. ID. Club will have to hunt for
a term to replace oily"

Art in the University

courses are offered covering classical,
renaissance and modern art, all il
lustrated with photographs. lantern
slides and other representations of
the original forks.
The general trend of the work in
the art department of the University,
according to DR.. John Pickard, is not
vocational. I'VE are not going to
turn out great American artists" he
said. but We are giving work that
will make broadly educated men
and women, in the way of appreci-
ating and enjoying what others have
created in the fine arts. For intel
lectual development. a study of the
valuable as study of history or
languages. AS to their practical
value, almost every one has need at
some time for knowledge of archi-
lecture, landscape gardening and
home decoration. Every one should
at least be able to make intelligent
discrimination between the good and
the bad in these forms of art
Prof. J. S. Ankeney of the art de-
partment of the University is chair
man of a committee which has made
somewhat complete investigation
into the condition of the art work
in American colleges and universi-
ties.
THE results of the Investigations
of our committee might be Surpris-
ing to many people because of the
rapid advance and increase in the
number of institutions that now
have art as a recognized part of their
curriculum" said he. MANY of the
letters we have had from the heads
of the art departments of different
colleges might be of interest, too.
For instance. from the school of ar
chitecture of Columbia University,
New York. the opinion was given
that such subjects as the theory and
history of art ought to have place
on the college curriculum as elective
courses on precisely the same basis
as courses in literature. From a
Kentucky university, We received
this: Our best opportunity to
awaken a respect for art in the men
of the country, is by showing the
young men somewhere in their col
lege course, that the art history of
a nation is not to cede in interest or
educative value before literary his
tory or political history as the expo
nent of the intellectually of race
or a natiOn.'"
1t is entirely possible that the self
satisfied seniors of the magazine
story We're not really as well edu-
Gated as they supposed themselves.
But of course. that wasn't here
that was at Yale.

NO MORE "PHOSSY JAW"

The Esch-Hughes bill. which is en-
pected to tax ont of existence white
phosphorus matches, has passed both
houses of Congress. With the sig
nature of the President to the bill
''phOssy jaw is expected to become
thing of the past.
The legislation against the white
PHOSPHORUS match is largely the re-
suit of consistent newspaper ham,
mering against an industrial evil.
White prosphorous. the cheapest sue
cessful material for the making of
matches, gives off fumes and parti-
cles that, taken into the system,
cause a fearful decay of parts of the
face. resulting in death. 1t is to the
workers, frequently women, to whom
the white phOsphorOus match is a
menace. Users OF the match are not
necessarily endangered, but persons
working in the factory in daily con-
tact with the PHOSPHORUS frequently
fall victim to this terrible and almost
incurable disease.
Matches may increase in price
slightly as a result of the law. Pos
sibly the number of matches to a
box will be cut down. The consum-
ing public can well afford to meet
this necessity. if it is one, to protect
the lives of the men and women who
work in match factories. The tax on
white phosphorus is another good
law for the safety of working people
1t is to be hoped that Congress does
not stop at it.

In a story of university life in a
current magazine group of seniors
are discussing the amount of know
ledge which they have acquired dur
ing the four years they have spent
in their university (it happened to
be Yale) and which they will carry
forth to triumph over an unenlight-
ened world.
A visitor comes in. He mentions,
as, of course, familiar to them names
and causes of which they have never
even heard. In the social sciences,
in various departments of human en-
deavOr and progress and in the fine
arts, he mentions movements and
people utterly unknown to them. He
speaks of schools of music. of paint
ing, of architecture, of composers,
painters and sculptOrs of whose very
existence they had until that moment
been unaware. AS they stare blank
ly AT him, he remarks, And yet you
are going to call yourselves educated
men," and leaves them.
While it is to be hoped that the
average graduate from our institu-
tiOns of higher learning is not so
wOefully ignorant on as many sub
jects OF human activity as the writer
of the story would have us believe,
an honest reader will nevertheless
acknowledge the truth of a part of
the incident, at least
Probably the young men in the
story had never heard of the fact
that their university offers courses
in the fine arts which are spoken of
officially by the university bulletin
as "a constituent part of scheme of
general culture"
Few people, comparatively. real

fine arts has attained among the

than twenty-five such institutions
now offer courses in history and ap-
probation of music, painting and
sculpture which may be credited to-
ward a bachelors degree.
While none of the colleges offer
work in the fine arts of anything like
the range that is given to the study
of mathematics or of literature, the
University of Missouri is among
those which offer the most complete
instruction in the graphic arts. Here
Here the student may take either
technical or theoretical art. In tech
nical work he will be given instruc-
ion in pencil, pen and ink, wash
and water cOlOrS as elementary pro-
cesses in design and representation.
Later he will draw and model from
casts. from models and from men,

from life.

and called upon the labor unions TO
Cooperate with them and do likewise.
Their communications We're not acted
