TALKS ON THRIFT
Making Ends Meet

"If debt is to be avoided, ex-
pcnses must be kept on the right
side Of income."--Dr. George G.
Lorimer.
Under present conditions, many heads
Of families arc finding It increasingly
hard to make ends meet, while as far
as making them lsp q little. that seems
impos sible, they say. But that is what
must be done If any progress or any
provision for che future is 70 be made.
Every man ought to know that if he
has good health but does not get on in
the world and accumulate something he
alone is 70 blame. The opportunity has
been heiofe him.
The beat helper in any mans life Is a
good wife. She puts hope into the heart
oi man and inspires him TO do his
besti she assists him TO save money
and sets the example herself, but she
may NOT know how to save wisely.
Lack Of thrift in household buying is
generally considered n cause Of the high
cost of living. The old-timc grocer never
expected 90 sell less than a whole ham

Open Column
University Bulletin Boards.

Editor The Missourian:-Are the
University bulletin boards to be-
come a medium for advertising
There is a University ruling that
nothing but announcements of Uni
versity interest are to be posted.
On one of the bulletin boards for
the last week there have been four
posters advertising a certain kind
of typewriter. These posters occu-
pied more than one-fourth of the
available space and were placed in
the most advantageous positions.
A few weeks ago an announcement
affecting more than three hundred
students was torn down to make
way for a cleaning and pressing
'ad."
The sensation of finding bulle-
tin board covered with advertis-
ing instead of announcements in
which you might be very much in
terested, is like becoming inter-
ested in a newspaper article, the
headlines telling of a race for
life," and finding that it is an lad"
for Foley's Honey and Tar.
University announcements are
temporary and one is accustomed
to find new notices from time to
time. The advertisements that ap-
pear are permanent. If commercial
is permitted upon the
University bulletin boards, then
there will be many University no.
tees and announcements that will
not be read. l.. d.

THE TAX ON FLOUR.

If the report is true that the
Germans are levying $3.50 tax on
each barrel of -four sent from the
United States to the starving Bel
gians it is a base and unworthy
piece of business. However, as the
report comes from a Belgian paper
by way of London, it cannot be
given much credence. 1t smacks
strongly of the charges and coun-
ter-charges that have been flying
back and forth in the last four
months.
But suppose it is true. 1t will
do no immediate good for anyone
to kick. Germany holds the whip
hand in Belgium and can do as she
pleases. The only way to get at
Germany would be to stop sending
-four. But the Belgians' need of
food so overbalances the cutting
off of any such revenue Germany
may be getting that the only thing
for the United States to do is to
keep on sending -four as long as it
gets to the Belgians at all.

and did not propose to be ques
toned by a student"
l was asked to produce checks
which could not do. The Office
had been closed in the spring and
the pictures, dummies" receipts
proofs, letters and checks were
scattered. No person took any par
ticular care of them since it was
not known that they would be de-
manded.
Then l was requested by the aud
iting committee to write for re-
ceipts for every bill paid by me in
connection with the Savitar busi-
ness-not merely to write for en-
craving and printing receipts as
the faculty communication stated.
The request was for receipts for
everything. 1t would have meant
I finding, even, students who had
done Photographic work. 1t seems
an unusual amount of work to do
for faculty men especially since
they seemed indicative. The re-
suit was that | refused to do 1t on
the ground that had furnished all
of the records of the Office that it
was possible for me to furnish. At
the same time told the committees
that l would either leave school or
be requested to leave for the reason
that the two committees, discip-
line and auditing, kept me so busy
and took up so much of my time
that school work meant nothing.
There was an evidence of hard
feeling on the part of faculty men,
bers, and particularly one member
of the auditing committee who pro-
posed it, when I refused to donate
part of the Sayitar fund to the
debating team. 1t was this same
member of the committee, who re-
ported to the faculty that had re-
fused to turn over to the commit
tee the records of the Savitar Office,
although before this time, another
member had inspected the books
and an attempt had been made to
find the complaining member.
Feeling slighted, he then began the
fire works" 1t was for this grave
offense of refusing to produce the
records that the discipline commit
tee punished me by suspending me
from the University for one whole
week-one whole week.
In closing / call attention to the
fact that the communication in the |
University Missourian was pub
lished the same evening that left |
Columbia and after 1 had an
nounced to some faculty members
the exact time that | intended to
leave

SOME FOOTBALL STATISTICS
Missouri Has Percentage Of .549 for
all Games Ever Played.

A football statistician has COM
piled interesting figures giving the
records of most of the leading col
leges and universities since they in
troduced the gridiron game. The
statistics give the games won and
lost at each institution. Texas Uni
versity holds the lead on a percent
age basis, the Longhorns having lost
only seven games during the score
of years they have been playing
football. Purdue has the best rec
ord in the middle west while Yale
leads in the east. Three Missouri
Valley schools are given. Missouri
has played 162 games, won S4, lost
SO and tied 8, a percentage of .549;

BIDDING FOR BELGIANS.

California and Georgia have
made, through their commercial or
CARNATIONS, organized efforts to
bring Belgian refugees to settle
within their borders. Georgia offers
rent practically free, and would
also furnish transportation and
equipment. The Belgian is only
,sked to bring his renowned skill
and thrift in agriculture.
There is no doubt that each state
would have ample room to accom-
modate the Belgians. The popula-
ton of California in 1910 was
2,377,549, or fifteen to the square
mile. Georgia has a population of
not quite forty-five to the square
mile. Belgium has a population of
one person to the acre.
1t Is not so much a question of
room as of what kind of room.
The Belgians are the most success
full intensive farmers in the world,
but their land is of the very rich
est type. Working on the discard
ed lands of some American states,
they would probably fail. They
would be incapable of farming poor
soil, no matter how much land
was given to them.
If these states or other states
would provide for the Belgians,
they must give them land and con-
ditions as nearly ideal as possi-
bic for agricultural success. The
theory that any kind of land will
serve, provided you get your man
on the land and tied to it by the
bands of necessity. hardly ever
works.

box. The man who fails to slip
a piece of the favored paraffln into
his mouth on the way down to his
Office is sure to feel remorse and
Indigestion pains before the lunch
hour ticks around.
There was time when only tel
ephone and high-school girls saved
gum wrappers for premiums. Now,
we are all after automobiles and
lawn mowers, let our jaws ache
as they may. II once was luite
a treat to give the baby a penny to
push into the slot machine-and
then to have to spend cents be-
cause the machine failed to work.

trip down town. Now his chewing

gum is just as necessary as is his
castor oil.
Nearly all the prize winners at
baby shows began to chew fero-
ciously before their mothers had
the pleasure of proudly prying
baby's mouth open to display the
first ivory to grandpa. Up-to-date
babies cry for their gum with the
same regularity and loudness they
use in demanding their bottles.
This tax on chewing gum is unwar-
ranted.
War taxes are supposed to be
levied only on luxuries. Gum is
no longer luxury. Congress over
looked its hand by requiring one
eighth-of-a-cent stamp on each
package of this indispensable.

Magee Makes Reply.

Editor The Missourian: Since
the University faculty has seen fit
to publish a communication in your
paper, addressed "To The Student
Body" in which charges are made
against me and my management as
editor-in-chief of the 1914 Savitar,
l desire to offer proof that the
charges are untrue and to present
for the benefit of the students my
side of the case.
The faculty says there is dis
crepancy of $1,000 between the
actual cost of the printing and the
amount, which 1 asserted to the
auditing committee, l had paid the
printing firm. To refute this state
ment l am sending you herewith
cancelled check for $1,500-check
No. 49, payable to the Stephens
Publishing Company. dated June /,
1914.
This check was not in the hands
of the auditing committee and is
not part of the record of my Of
fee on which they are basing their
charge. 1t was not turned over to
them for the reason that / was un-
able to find it, as well as other rec
ords, at the late hour when they
called for them. I discovered it in
my personal effects, after leaving
Columbia. This check proves be-
yond doubt that the charge of
$1,000 discrepancy is absolutely
false. Yet the charge is made by
the faculty and the auditing COM
mittee in the face of the fact that I
informed the auditing and discip-
line committees that their call for
records was made so late that many
were lost; and that they could get
the full information as to the
amount of the engraving and print
ing bills, and the amount paid by
me to these concerns, by communi-
eating with the companies. One of
these companies is in Columbia and
telephone call would have pro-
duced the desired information.
The rule of the University in re-
gard to the auditing committee was
not passed last year until the ear
ly part of the school term and
was not notified until February.
Detailed instructions in regard to
reports were not made to the Saw
itar Office until the Office was closed
last spring. l say this, in spite of
the assertion of one member of the
auditing committee that he had
given the proper instructions in
suitable time-the same member,
who, when he was questioned by
me when l appeared before a joint
session of the auditing and discip-
line committees. informed me
that he was a member of a faculty

A stricken moon hangs weird, and

And gazes, scarecrow-blind, along

Till cloud-hags shroud it; but a dis

Comes oozing through smudge

Upon the world, uncanny witch

A phantom shadow meath a tree

And others crouch and cover by

went to a recruiting-station to en-

He was much disappointed, ac-
cording to London Tit-Bits, when
the officer told him he was too
small and too young.
Cant you find me some Job in
tn Army what 1 am big enough
for?" anxiously asked the lad.

away he said:
