housewives have been cited as a reason
for stunning housework, but there are
also cross and unpleasant factory fore
men, Aoorwalkers and Office chiefs.
The reason is not good one, because
housewives who treat their maids we'll
and give them good rooms have almost
equal difficulty in getting competent
help, Putting a ten n-hour law in effect
in domestic service and getting it on
what Miss Quack calls business
basis" is not likely to help much, so
long as girls consider factory as higher
than housework and are willing to sac
rlfce the larger net financial return of
the former to the greater independence
OF the latter. There is no word of
cheer to the worried housewife in what

He charged the employing lithograph-

not specify wherein the ineficiency lay,

EradiCating DOdder.

Analyses Of samples Of clover al d
alfalfa seed during the past three years
at the Missouri Seed testing l. Ltbora,ory
have proven conclusiyely that much
seed infected with doddcr is now on
the market. This is especially true Of
alfalfa samples, OF the alfalfa samples
analyxed during the past three years
28.7 per cent have contained dodder.
Red clover seed, while not so bad, has
shown this pest in 100 per cent Of the
samples.
Dodder is a parasitic plant, that is,
it depends solely upon the plant on
which it grows for its substance. It
is a yeIlowish, leafess vine. The
dodder seed sown with the clover and
alfalfa germinates, the vines begin to
grow up and to entwine around the
clover plants and as soon as they are
firmly established on the host plant the
connection with the ground is severed,
and the roots die. FrOm this time on
the dodder lives by saDping its food
from the tissues OF the clover or alfalfa
plant upon which it grows, by means
Of sucking roots which it sends into
the stem This causes the death Of
the host plant.
Many remedies are offered Tor the
handling Of dodder but about the safest
and most satisfactory one is to cut
the infected portion and after the lay
becomes dry burn where it lies II
the dodder is only in patches scme
straw might also be placed On lht spot
before burning so as tn insu,e coml lete

This remedy Is rather severe, Of

Remarkable Growth Of The College Of
Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

The Missouri College Of Agriculture
will graduate seventyfve men and wo'
men at the June Commencement in
1918. This graduating class is ten
times larger than the graduating class
in 1907. During this period, the en-
rollement in the College Of Agriculture
has increased four hundred per cent.
Many Of the graduates Of this year S
class have already been employed as
teachers and the investigators in other
Colleges Of Agriculture or by the
United States Government. A large
number Of this years class will become
managers OF Missouri farms.

An Appeal For Fair Play.

At the last session Of the Legislature
Senate Bill NJ. III was passed, re,
curing the railroad Of Missouri to place
an additional man on nearly every train
operated in the State.
The railroads maintain that the en-
ployment OF such additional men will
not result in improvement to the ser
vice, and insists that there is no pro
cess, economic or otherwise, Ihat will
provide paymentIor the additional men
without the cost eventually reaching
you-"the ultimate consumer"-eith-
er through an increase in freight and
passenger rates, or a reduction in the
efficiency OF the service.
The public is entitled to adequate
and efficient freight and passenger
service and is, therefore, vitally inter
ested in the Improvement Of the rail
road facilities Of the State.
If this bill becomes law, the rail
roads Of Missouri will be required to
employ approximately 500 additional
brakemen, at an expence Of more than
$500,000 a year, which, if capitalized
on a FIVE per cent basis, would amount
to Ten Millions OF DJIlars An eco
ncmic waste, contrary to good business.
The railroads purpose 10 avail them

ton may be placeq before the people
at the next general election, that the

AN INTOLERABLE
SITUATION

Apparently the fire insurance COM
panies which we're preparing to with
draw from Missouri are unwilling to
continue under snch guarantees oI
protection against possible abuses oI
Orr law as have been offered. This
is not so surprising as the fact that, al
though we are nearing early July, when
hundreds OF millions of dollars now un-
der insurance protection may be left
without it, no further step toward an
understanding are being taken. The
governor has again, and more emphat-
ically than before, refused to call the
Assembly in special session to enact a
new law. He still insists that the
companies can operate safely under
the Orr law. The companies are
afraid to undertake new business under
a statute authorizing prosecutions in
every county on charges growing out
Of precautions and methods demand
ed alike for the protection o. the insur-
ers and the insured. Attorney Gen
eral Barker's guarantee Of immunity
from needless prosecutions by county
attorneys, is not satisfactory to them,
partly because Of the attorney general S
own expression Of radical views con-
cerDing the law and its necessity, but
more largely, no doubt, because they

President Wilson having made loud
complaint about a powerful lobby sup
posed to be hanging around the cap
itol to tear his tariff bill into fragments,
the senators took ofense and have po
litely asked the president for names
and particulars. The clear inference
to be drawn from his remarks is that
these lobbyists are endeavoripg to turn
democratic senators from the strait
path into which the democratic caucus
has set their feet. Otcourse the lob
byists are not worrying about the re-

Seldom has a more unscrupulous
scheme been attempted in Missouri
than the effort Of democratic politicians
in St. Louis to inveigle ministers Of
the gospel and Christian layman into
the work OF circulating and signing
referendum petitions to stay the oper-
alton Of the home rule police and ex-
else bills applying 10 that city. It is
simply scheme to continue in office
for two years the democratic appointees
OF Governor Major, who must give
way to republican appointees Of the

bills are suspended. 1t is a desperate
political trick. It is a clear case Of

sustain the republican campaign in
1912 are not being pointed out and
black listed or abrsed. They belong

The Home and the Factory.

What has always to the worried
housewife seemed to be the mystery
Of the difficulty of getting housemaids
in cities where thousands OF girls are
struggling for a bare existence on
small wages, and some Of them
being fourced into lives Of shame, is
receiving partial elucidation at the ses'
sion of the Senate Investigating Com
mite. Compared with the condition
Of the ordinary factory worker and a
large majority Of the store snd Office
girls, speaking solely from the financial
point OF view, the domestic worker is
to be envied. She has no room rent
to pay, no board OF daily car fare or
down town lunch expenses, and receives
almost as much money per week as
the majority Of these workers. What
she gets is practically net. If she
wants to do so she can go 10 the say.
ings bank and deposit her S4 TO IS
each week, which is the usual range Of
domestic wages, alter deductirg a
small amount for incidentals and an oc ;
casional reservation for clothing.
Nothing like this can be done by
the girl who works in the factory or
store, unless she lives at home and
gets her board free. No girl who sup
ports herself entirely, or who must de-
vote her wages to the support OF par
ents or dependent at home, can know
what savings account looks like. Eco.
nomically the argument for domestic
service is strong. Yet the difficulty
OF securing domestics is an increasing
one. Few girls Of American binF ,
whether Of foreign. born parents or not,
are willing to do housework anywhere
except at home. Even girls OF foreign
birth, after they have been in this
country for few years, cspec y il
educated here, shun domestic vice
and submit to The hard coudlli and
poor pay Of industrial WORK
The investigation is revealing som:
Of the reasons lcr this. Tht Sc seem t
be comparatively shorter tours oilabo
in store or factory, leaving more tim;
for amusement, the greater indepen
dence Of the worker as TO indiyidua
conduct, and the indefnable spirit c

In few weeks the business men
and banks OF the state will be at the
mercy oil la few fire insurance compan-
les for the protection they must have
for real estate and commercial credits.
Already the lines are tightening and
loans cannot be negotiated for lack Of
satisfactory insurance. All this comes
about because party politics have been
made paramount to public interests by
democratic slate officials. Insurance
companies cannot safely conduct bus,
mess under conditions arranged and
established by politicians for party
purposes.

SOMEHOW.

Somehow or other, in spite Of storm,
The world works around to the sunshine warm;
The orchards bloom and the birds sing gay
And the wild flowers welcome the call Of May.
The wind blew chill and the sullen sky
Frowned as it made the snowAakes fly.
Each winter has buried the flowers anew,
But somehow or other they all break through.
Somehow or other each dull distress
Is sent on the road to Forgetulness,
While the pleasant thought and the generous thrill
Are headed for Recollectionve.
Our feet r'ay ialter as on we go;
The way may be hard and long and slow;
But something compels us to hope and try
And somehow or other we all get by.
