Summer base ball may cause the uni
versity athletic associations added worry
this season. The advent of the Feds into
the diamond business has increased the
demand for ball players. and the baby
league is anxious to pay major wages
to collegians with ability and reputation,
heretofore the big leagues were perfect
iy willing to permit the young men to
play in obscure minor organizations or
on semi-pro clubs until they obtained
their degrees. Keen competition for tai
ent undoubtedly will bring about a
change.

MISSOURI CHEN DAY. !,

Missouri is the greatest poultry
state in ths Union There is no doubt
about it. Missouri admits it and is
proud OF it. A larger number of Mis-
souri's citizens are engaged in poul-
try raising. either to large or small
extent, than are engaged in any Other
single industry. And thu value of the
poultry and eggs produced in Mis-
souri, last year was greater than the
value Of AIissouri's immense wheat
crop. or of any other single product
of farm, factory or mine
In view Of these things it is entire
ly fitting that the Missouri State
Poultry association should appoint a
day to be devoted to a one-day mem
bership campaign. The date chosen
is March next, which has been off,
cially designated as Missouri Hen
Day" On that day the state poultry
association will launch a systematic
and thorough educational campaign,
in co-omperation with the state poultry
experiment station at Mountain Grove,
which will extend into every county in
the state. In order to properly carry
on this work, as well as to prom 5te
the poultry industry locally the mem
beers OF the state poultry association
in each county will meet and organize
a county branch Of the state poultry
association
In abolition to Organizing the county
branches, the day will be devoted to
a one-day membership campaign. AS
a special mark of appreciation, every
member who secures five or more
new members. will be presented with
one CT the beautiful new gold ano
enamel State Poultry association pms
and the person who secures the most
new m nlbers will receive a beautiful
loving cup. The membership fee is
only 50 cents a year

THE HIGH cosT OF LIVING.

A countryman living just outside
London drove in one day to buy pro-
visions and other necessaries. He
went first to cobbler and purchased
a pair of boots. Not shoddy footwear.
carelessly made, or even machine
made, but hand-sewed and of strong
leather. For this pair of boots he
paid just seven cents.
He next went to a butcher and
bought a sheep, for which paid 10
cents, and dozen chickens, for
which he paid 1Sc, or 11zc apiece.
Ten pounds OF beef cost him a total
of cents. for the beef was half a
cent pound. A visit to a grain mer-
chant resulted in the purchase of a
bushel of rye for Is cents, and at the
fish market he bought twenty five
large fish for 10 cents. At the draper's
he purchased q suit of clothes for 40
cents. for stout homespun cloth was
selling at IL cents an ell, or 9 So
cents yard
The countryman had no trouble in
carrying his purchases home in his
wagon. The wagon was large. He
had driven 1t to London with load
of firewood, and he had sold the wood
for IL cents, which was good price
for those days.
1t was early in the sixteenth cen
tury- about 400 years ago.

Hunters should think twice before

cause their state licenses had been

AGRICULTURAL TRAINING.

The United States department or
agriculture has, according to a recent
bulletin, seriously taken up the ques-
ton OF agricultural education in the
rural schools of the country, and Is
not only placing the rich literature
of the farm bureau at the disposition
Of teachers preparatory schools, but
is fostering practical education in
farm methods in various other ways.
1t has been realized that the enor-
nous mass of information regarding
agricultural activities contained in
the numerous departm entail and eK-
pertinent station bulletins has not
been, heretofore, used to the greatest
advantage. The public has awak aned
slowly to the necessity OF greater
knowledge Of the fundamental prin.
ciples of agriculture, If the industry
is to continue to do its share in the
work off oster5ng the prosperity OF
the country.
II is significant fact that the
| great interest now manifested in agri.
cultural education. as part OF the ele.
mentary training Of children and
! youth in agricultural sections, was
/ first awakened in the south. 1t had
it's genesis in the surprising results
/ following the organization of boys
corn clubs. which. from the outset
were encouraged and aided by the de
partment Of agriculture. The results
obtained by schoolboys cultivatine
single acres OF land aroused national
interest. 1t was found that rural
schoolboys, furnished with inforrna
ton and knowledge gained at the ex
pertinent stations, raised enormou,
crops of the staple. compared with
the average farm yield.
IL is now the purpose OF the depart
ment of agriculture to place this bsI
letin literature at the disposition o,
educators, and II may be said. in pass
ing, that SONS of the most im.,ortan1

except it's helplessness and it's geo
graphical nearness. And Latin-Amer-
lea as a whole is Indebted to the
United States for the independent ex-
istence Of its several states. But for
the steady adherence of every Amer
lean President to the Monroe doc
trine during the last ninety years
Central and South American states
would now be mere provinces of
European powers. The United States
has often been friend OF these coun-
tries in spite Of themselves, although
in defending our course to Europe we
have based 1t on conditions Of our
own safety. While only one Europ-
can country has formally recognized
the Monroe doctrine as an established
principle Of international law none
has persisted in practical violation
of 1t.
But it seems to be impossible for
the Latin-Americans to conceive of a
country adopting and maintaining our
high standards. At every iteration Of
our disinterestednes they sheer. They
insist on measuring American pur-
Iposes in Spanish bushels. And the
press OF several of those countries
feeds these suspicious with innuendo.
Having that little learning which has
been pronounced such a dangerous
thing. the Latin-Americans are easily
infamed by incendiary articles in
their newspapers. The suspicion that
rome OF these newspapers are subsi-
died by interests that hope to profit
by promoting their own commerce at
the expense Of that Of the United
States has been recently voiced.
Whether there be any ground for this
or not, the frequent manifestations OF
hostility toward us clearly indicate
that the Latin-Americans are not our
kind of folks.

Many miles of old macadam and

rowed by years OF traffic, are being
transformed into fine automobile
thoroughfares, as smooth as table
tops, by the simple expedient of filling
the interstices with concrete grouting,
and flowing semiliquid cement over
the paving. Instead OF the old method
OF treating street surfaces with a
tar mixture, Cincinnati has rejuvenat-
ed old pavements, worn by fifteen
years heavy travel. until they are in

VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

The French government recently
commissioned Nine Alice de la Ruelle
to visit the United States to study
vocational training in this country.
She is now In Washington and viii no
doubt go to other cities. The idea of
vocational training was first brought
to the attention OF the country
through the manual training schools
and through an organization Of Bos-
ton women. The colleges took up the
subject and now many of the public
schools have been considering and
adopting vocational courses. In Europe
the subject has been considered by ed
Iucators for many years and it is a
compliment that the work in this
country should be considered of
enough interest to merit special study.

Anonymous Letter Writer'S

Dubuque Globe-Journal: The Bur
hngton Hawk-Eye has the following
to say OF the anonymous letter writer:
An individual who signs himself "A
Subscriber, writes the Hawk-Eye q
long letter, finding fault with about
everything in it, and with the sane
men and some preachers in Burling-
ton. and elsewhere The times appear
to be out of joint with him. He is
dissatisfied with life especially as he
has to live it in this country, and he
thinks that nothing save socialism,
which he seems to think means gov
eminent ownership of everything in
the interests of the common people,
will bring about solution to the ter
1ible problem now facing humanity.
AS he Is too much of coward to sign
his communication the Hawk-Eye will
forgo the pleasure Of printing it, and
1t advises him to take bath, get In.
to the fresh air, think OF something
besides himself, and try to do some
thing to help his city and his fellow
man. If that course OF action does
not in time effect cure, his case is
probably hopeless"
Every editor knows the brand OF
earrion the Hawk-Eye refers to. The
anonymous slanderer is beyond ques-
ton the most despicable type OF the
human race. His cowardice is all the
more repellant because he never dares
Ito fight In the open. He Is like the
assassin who uses poison as an in
lstrument of death or the thug who
strikes his victim in the dark. He is
the more repulsiye because he fire.
IGuently is found hiding behind the
cloak of responsibility. We find him
In all walks of life, but he uses every
lwile to cover UP his real character
Anonymous letters are his favorite
method of character assassination be
cause it is the safest method, but be
coming holder he resorts to innuendc
and uses willing tools to scatter his
inauseating potion.
Look out for the fellow who con
! tinually wants to take you into his
confidence and tell you story reflect
ing on someone else. He has ali ear
marks of the anonymous character
