ECZEMA ON HEAD AND FACE

Reedy, w. Va.-"My baby boy
when three weeks old took the ecze-
ma on the head and face. 1t broke
out in pimples and first they looked
Ike blisters and a yellow water would
run from them. His head was per-
fectly raw and his hair was all gone.
Everybody said he would never have
any more hair. AS the sores spread
his hair came out. The breaking out
itched so badly that we had to keep
gloves on his hands to keep him from
scratching his head and face. 1t
caused Disagreement. He couldn't
rest at night it burned and itched
SO badly.
He was treated for eight months
and he got worse all the time. So
l decided to try Cuticura Soap and

pletely cured after using the Cuticura
Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Oint-

Eight public school girls from the

in the advance sale of tickets yester-
day. A large number of persons from
out of town were among the first to
buy seats.
Percival Vivian, the advance agent
for the company, said Saturday that
the Mounds with the Columns as a
background would make an excellent
stage. 1t was first planned to give
the plays on the west campus north of
Switzler Hail.
The Ben Greet players are an all
English company and were the first
to give Shakespearean reproductions
in Open-air performances. Mr.. Greet
chooses as his audiences College and
university people and has appeared

university in the United States, Canada

NEWS AND HUMOR IN THE ADS.

The antediluvian person who boast.
that he never looks at the ads" still
exists, but he is rather lonesome in
dividual at present. We fear that il
the near future he will be crowded out
by his more up-to-date contempora.
ries.
We might dwell on this subject al
length. and use up a large number OF
perfectly good words-but as the elo-
quent Mr.. Dreier said last week, let
us tell you story instead.
Once upon a time there was a mer-
chant who lived in Columbia and
used advertisements to invite people
to trade with him. One of his adver-
tisements contained the statement that
his store was 'the ever popular place
to eat and meet your friends" The
ad was a large one, and the sentence
came at the end of long paragraph
set in comparatively small type. But
the next day the merchant received the
following letter from a University
professor:
What sort of a cannibalistic in
stitution are you running, any
way? | read with pleasure of the
high score hit of 80 lin the state
food inspectiOn) and am in a mood
to come. Then | read on the end
of the paragraph and am told ito
eat and meet my friends This is
asking too much i'm this enlignten-
ed twentieth century, and more
over at a time of the year when
meat diet becomes very difficult
for metabolism
With all this | am delighted to
record that the smokes are on you.
But if We say more, our enemies
will accuse us of bing dominated by
the business Office. What comment
is necessary, anyway?

A NEW PIONEER.

A graduate of the College of Agri-
culture of the University has just
completed a year of service as head
of the farm bureau in Johnson COun-
ty. Both the graduate and the county
are to be congratulated They are
pioneers in a movement that is going
to put new life and efficiency into the
agriculture of the country.
So far only a few counties in Mis-
souri,, in fact, in the whole Middle
West, have farm advisers. In some
places they are a success and other
places they are not. But in the latter
places the difficulty is usually i'm the
unwillingness of the farmers to CO.
operate with the bureau rather than
in any fault of the adviser
The position of county m-adviser
is one full of pOtentiality. 1t is bound
to spread to many more counties as
soon as there are men to fill the posi-
tions. Young men taking the work
in agriculture could hardly do better
than to fit themselves for such a DO
sitiOn. To those who are interested
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-05-26

in more than the ordinary work OF
helping the farmers of a county il
offers a splendid chance for research
work. So it is a position for students
as well as skilled practitioners.
1t also offers an almost unlimited
opportunity to those who are inter-
ested in social or political work. The
adviser will soon become widely ac-
quainted in his county. By the nature
of the position, his acquaintance will
be more than a mere speaking one 1t
will be more or less intimate. By rea-
son of his success in solving agricul-
tural problems, the farmers will have
in him. He will become a
power in the community.

COURTESY TO SPEAKERS.

Journalism Week for 1914 is thing
of the past. but before the Journalism
Week of 1915 comes-in fact, before
the next public speech-this Univers-
ity audience should be reminded of
the courtesy due speaker.
At two of the night programs of
Journalism Week in the University
Auditorium, the hall was crowded for
the first speaker After the first
speech, however, nearly half of the au-
dierce left. implying to the second
speaker that they did not want to hear
his speech.
Once the last speaker was a woman
and the speech that preceded her was
given by telephone.
Discourteous. wasn't it?
The second time it was the art edi-
tor of a famous weekly. Nearly half
the audience left after his speech This
half missed something, for the second
speaker was enjoyed as much as the
first by those who stayed
But the idea is, if you don't want
to hear the whole program, don't show
your preference publicly by leaving

STUDENTS ALWAYS,

One Iof the statements which is
made very frequently to high school
graduates is that they should not let
their graduation be the end of their
education. This statement is seldom
made to members of the graduating
class of a college or university, yet
it could be made with equal propriety.
A persons education should never
cease. A college training at best SIM
ply serves to teach us how to educate
ourselves. The education must come
in the experience of fuller and
more active life. Any graduate must
know how inadequate wouli be his
education if what he has now is all.
The failure of many college gradu-
ates is explained by the fact that they
consider the studying of books and the
attendance upon classes as ends in
themselves. They quit studying and
reading Immediately upon leaving
their school,
The person who is the best edu-
Gated is the one who best realizes how
little he knows and who is consumed
with a desire to be a student always.
