Short Course Students viii Com.
pete in Contest.

The live stock that were to be
taken to the American Royal Stock
Show are now being used for the
stock judging classes of the short
course in Agriculture. The Amer
lean Royal Stock Show was to have
been held next week, but the epi-
demic of foot and mouth disease
among cattle has caused all stock
shows to be called off.
A stock judging contest for Sec
ond-year short course men will be
held the last part of the semester.
This is an annual contest and tro-
phies are given by breeders in
the state. One of the highest men

A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The public library has grown to
be one of the greatest institutions
of American life, and yet Column
bians with one of the big libraries
of the country at their doors get
less good out of it than do the peo-
pie of many towns out of their
small city libraries. Do they feel
that they have no right to use the
University Library.
The University Library is Co
lumbia's public library, and in it a
great opportunity is offered to the
people. Built primarily, of course,
for the University it is none the
less a free public library in the
full sense, not only for Columbia
but for the state And the people
of the state recognize this. Books
are shipped daily to all parts of
Missouri for use in the public
schools, for the use of clubs and

WE ARE GROWING.

The Methodist Church is going
to put up another building in which
to hold worship. Our new hotel is
almost assured. A government in
spector was looking into the ques-
tion of a new postoffice for Colum-
bia recently.
A movement for . new city hall
has begun. The 100000 Catholic
Church has just been dedicated.
The city recently completed in.
stalling a new water and light
plant. The big, new library is rap
idly being built. A one-story brick
store was put up at More's Switch
this fall. Sometime, just count the
suburban stores in Columbia as you
spin along in an automobile.
Truly, we are growing.

The Gospel Team Training Con-
ference for Missouri colleges closed
a two-day session at the Y. M. c. A
Building last night. Howard T
Beaver, state secretary of the stu
dent Y. M. C. A., G. C. Lord of the
extension department of the Kan
sas City Association, E. H. Stran-
ahan of 0skaloosa, Ia, and w. c.
Gibbs of the Missouri Bible College
were in charge of the meeting.
The conference helped prepare
the students for a week of religious
work among, boys and young men
of small towns during the Christ
mas holidays. Thirty men from the
University attended the meeting.
The local Y. M. G. A. expects to
send out several gospel teams.
The Missouri college men attend
ing were: Central, W. L. Gray;
Central Wesleyan, Carl Gutekunst,

individuals. AS many if not more
books are lent to persons over the
state as to the people of Columbia,
students of course being considered
in a separate class.
With nearly 10000 volumes the
library now has more books than
a city library in a town of this
size probably could ever hope to
have, and about 5000 new volumes
are bought each year. With the
completion of the new building the
University Library will be better
housed than any city library could
be.
Why then, Columbians, not use
this equipment placed at your dis
posal? If you care for anything
of the kind at all, you have a rare
opportunity. The University Libra
ry is yours to use freely.

PLOW FIELD WITH TRACTOR
Hudson and COnley Save Money by
Up-tO.Date Method.

J. A. Hudson and w. T. Conley
of Columbia, who own 800 acres
of land near McBaine, are giving
an example of progressive farm
ing. They are plowing the 300
acres, which Is in one field, at the
rate of twenty acres a day by
means of a 25 horsepower steam
tractor and an S-gang-plow. This
turns a strip of earth ten feet wide
at one time. Two men are re-
quired to fire and run the tractor
and one man to watch the plows.
One of the men in charge of the
work said:
This is more economical than
hiring men with horses to do the
work. The distance around this
field is about two miles. We make
the circuit in twenty-five minutes.
We will easily average twenty
acres a day. A man and team
would have to work hard to finish
two acres a day. 1t would require
eleven men with teams to do the
work We are doing each day.
With this outfit we have only the
wages of three men and the cost
of the coal. The outfit has already
paid for itself Our coal supply is
in the center of the field. We fire.
quently plow all night, depending
on the weather and the moonlight.
| think we will easily finish the
work in two weeks. The entire
field will be planted in corn

The Open Column

Editor The Missourian:-Iu
Mondays Missourian there was an
article entitled Senate may Pro-
tect Rooming House Keepers
against Changes" This heading to
the article and the article itself
are misleading.
The object of the Student Senate
in considering semester room con-
tracts is to protect the students Of
the University in dealing with
members of the Landladies Protec-
tive Association which at present
is forcing undesirable rooming con-
tracts on the students. These con-
tracts already give more than ade-
quate protection to the landladies
who are members of that organiza-
ton. The semester contracts at
present forced upon some of the
students of the University are the
result of avarice and greed OH the
part of certain landladies in CO.
lumbia. Such contracts have the
sanction of neither the University
nor the student government organ
ization.
The purpose of the Student Sen
ate is to represent the students in
this question and to do all within
its power to see that no student in
the University is taken undue ad-
vantage of by any organization of
landladies.
For the Missourian to state in its
news column that the Student Sen
ate is desirous of protecting the in
terests of the landladies of Colum-
bia, as opposed to the interests of
any students, is absolutely false.
The Student Senate in every case
that has come before it has at all
times and will at all times earnest
ly try in every way to represent |
as clearly as possible the senti-
ment of. the student body.
If any rooming contract is pro-
posed by the Senate the students
Of the University may rest assured
that it will be their interests which
are protected. If the interests of
The student body cannot be better
protected by such a contract, the
student Senate will do all within
is power to see that no rooming
receives the sanction of
he University. The Senate fur
her urges all students to refuse to
sign any contract which has not
he approval of the University au-
horities.
HI. K POINDEXTER,
Secretary of the Student Senate.

The New Books
American Literature.

Some people still hold to the idea
that American literature is merely
an offshoot from English litera-
ture. But John Calvin Met
calf. professor of England in
Richmond College, shows very
clearly in his American Litera-
ture" that it is class all its own.
Professor Metcalf says that even
the Colonial and Revolutionary
PERIODS. in which no literature was
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-11-10

produced, are important as a back
ground for our later literature.
Professor Metcalf deals with the
American authors in geographical
groups and subdivides those into
phases OF literature. He begins
with the New York or Knickerbock-
er group, then takes up the New
England writer's, next the Southern
writer's and ends with the Middle
and Western State writers.-(B. F.

THEY THAT HAVE EYES,

Among the little tragedies of the
recent state election was the de-
feat of. Proposed Constitutional
Amendment Number Seven. 1t
went down with all the rest in the
cascade of votes that overwhelmed
the county unit bill and the pro-
posed excessive road tax levies.
Yet Number Seven was a measure
that nobody opposed and that near
ly everybody supported. outwardly
or at least deep in their hearts.
1t was the amendment giving
power to pension the deserving
blind.
No fault was found with the
amendment; no arguments were
offered against it, such as were
made against the full-crew bill,
1t was a just measure, humanitar-
ian measure, a far-seeing measure.
1t was progressive in the best
sense.
And the blind, mind you, waited
waited for it in their lifelong
darkness. And it never came!
Tragedy? Nothing else. 1t
wasn't as if the measure was a mi
nor thing that made little differ
ence in the lives of anybody. It
was a big thing, the whole thing,
to many of our blind. 1t meant
comfort and the necessities of life
for them. 1t meant only a penny or
two out of our pockets, to us.
OF course, it was merely thought
lessness on our part. On the blank
ct ballot that the election judge
gave US, we saw some measure
that We opposed with the tuIi big
otry of our being and We took our
pencil-little kneWing what a
mighty destiny it wielded-and |
scratched them all. Our stroke
went through the "Yes" on Number
Seven just as cruelty as it went /
vindictively through any other
"Yes" on the ballot.
Thoughtlessness, or carelessness
nothing more. But it meant
something to somebody!
Some of us, a good many of US,
were thoughtful; and Number Sew
en- went down with the smallest
majority of them all. But
most of us failed to think; most of
us, with our good eyes, failed to
see.
Thanksgiving is coming, the day
on which We praise our God for
the blessings He has given us. He
has given us land, and we have
used it well. He has given us
and we have labored hard.
He has given us breath, and we are
praising Him.
But He has given US eyes, good I
eyes such as He, in His mighty |
plan, has denied to others. Have a
we used them we'll? Worse than
he blindness of the blind is the
blindness of him who wills not and /
Who cares not to see a
