Oak leaves and chrysanthemums

IN a large room.
Good bulbs have been cheap
this year and should be used
more for winter flowers and
plants. o
Hyacinths are among the best
potted bulbs. Put one in a four
inch pot. or two or three in a six
inch pot.
Flowering shrubs are more
useful about the home yard than
ANNALS or perennials. as they do
not require so much care.
Now is a good time to give the

Is it not the power to think? All
through the history of the world
there have been a few great think
ers. and there have been a great
many who let some one else do
their thinking for them. Which
kind are you? Do you think for
yourself? People who think for
themselves are human beings liv-

let others think for them are liv-
ing n a rut. where prejudice.
foeyism. superstition. fanaticism
and ignorance prevail. The world
is full Of people who travel in a
rut and seem to like it. although
it is close scrOuging.
The habit Of thinking is not
easy to acquire. It means that you
must reason. use the faculties Of
your mind. about things you see
and hear. 1t means that you re-
fuse to accept the ready-made
thoughts of others until you have
analysed them. Are you letting
some one do your thinking for
you? The next time you notice

says that because of this the United
States has had since 1897 a secret
understanding with the allies to
back them up in case of necessity
in a war with Germany.
Now all this sounds very fore
boding, and Mr.. Usher speaks with
the authority of man whose past
statements have proved true. But
when it comes to abiding by such
an agreement and plunging this
country into war, the United States
has this advantage over European
powers-it has no war lord. The
people through Congress have a
word to say as to whether they
shall take a part in the battle line.
And with the greatest peace argu-
ment in history presented to them,
the realization of the contrast in
conditions between America and
Europe, the people are going to
think long and hard before entering
any war except one for actual de-
fense of their homes.

The Literary Trawler
The Human Heart.

The truth is no one has yet aus
cultated human life and the human
heart, nor any considerable part
thereof. We all try it and we all
bungle at it, and the more exper-
fenced we become at the task the
more hopeless it seems. 1 should
say, for example, that If a man
should arise capable of explaining
why a delicately nurtured young
woman can at one hour tenderly
nurse, as an angel of mercy might,
a poor devil with a headache, and
the next hour go to football game,
soothed and sustained by the pre-
cious hope that she is about to see
someone killed, such a man would
be a greater philosopher than has
thus far Illuminated this darkling
world.-Charles Edward Russell in

The Open Column
Why So Many Rulesi

/ Editor The Missourian:-Most OF
US can remember, l think, the days
when we first began going to
school. The teacher pointed out to
us by word of mouth and by smack
of handily-applied rules that we
were not to whisper, that We must
not pass notes, that we must not
stick pins in Tommy Sniffkins or
put chewinggum in the neat braids
of Susie Smith.
Also we were not to leave the
room without asking permission
When dismissed, we were to go di-
rectly home to our parents, not lin
gering to fight on the way. And,
under no circumstances whatever,
were we to throw snowballs on the
public streets.
Now we are attending the Uni
versity of Missouri, having arrived
at the age of discretion and many
of us having passed it many years.
Yet teacher has to tell us what to
do and what not to do and threaten
us with the ruler of negative credit
if We dare to disobey.
Take the matter. of going home
to our parents. 1t used to be that
We had only to tell the teacher.
Now, when we are wiser, We must
notify the dean of our faculty, the
commandant, the landlady and 9TH
er officials. Why we aren't in
structed to notify also the ianitor,
the registrar and our best girl is a
mystery unexplainable.
If we make money on our stu
dent organizations, we must not use
the University building to meet in.
We must not smoke in certain
places. No special brand is rec
commended for use in other places,
though, which is a mercy.
We must not drink intoxicating
liquors around the University. If
We injure University property, we
must pay for it ourselves.
These are merely samples. They
are taken from a book of thirty
closely-printed pages that every
student gets right after school be-
gins. This book is an unabridge-
ment of the things our primary
teacher told us years and years
ago.
We needed them then. Do we
need them now? That is the Ques-
ton.
The rules in themselves are not
bad. Each undoubtedly has a pur-
pose. But do we need to have them
forced upon us year after year?
Or do we know enough to take care
of ourselves Question!-X. X. X.

Letter From Wurzburg, Dated Oe-
tOber %, Says Life Is as Usual.
The people of Germany are not
yet starving to death and every
day life goes on much the same as
it always did, writes a native of
Wurzburg to Miss Margaret Pow
ell, student in the Columbia High
School
Life goes on as usual" says the
letter. THE streets are full of
busy people and so many soldiers
that one cannot believe that there
are a million away. 1t is a great
time for US. Our army is still in
splendid position and We have the
greatest confidence. We must win.
I'VE are surrounded by enemies.
While our emperor was still work
ing hard for peace, Russia and
France sent their soldiers over our
frontier as an answer to the king,
and every German heart was wild
over such infamy. We are defend
ing ourselves and our country. The
way through Belgium was un-
doubtedly necessary. We know now
that the French army would have
gone through.
Il only wrote you this because
know the newspapers are telling
lies. We are not dying of hunger
yet"

OUR NATIONS INTEGRITY.

The European war is at present
restricting the trade of the United
States in many ways. Also, it is
bringing about conditions that will
place a heavy responsibility on the
producers of this country. The ac-
ton of these manufacturers will
determine in no small measure the
future of the nation.
There will be an insistent de-
mand on the United States for man
ufactured goods of all descriptions.
The output will undoubtedly be
strained to the utmost. Herein the
test of the producers will come.
Will they yield to greed and in
short-sightedness and with a lust
for riches submerge quality in
quantity? Or, will they hold to the
fundamental principles on which
all sound business is founded,
bringing ultimate success? Care
should be taken to insure first
class production, for on that de-
pends the future.
Nations are looking to the Unit
ed States for supplies and sus-
tenance. They have confidence in
the production of this nation. 1t
will be readily seen that to destroy
such confidence means disaster and
disgrace in the future.
The integrity of the nation is at
stake 1t must be upheld.

ed a year or two ago which fore
told almost exactly what is go

Mr. Usher based his statement
on the assumption that the United

countries to build the Panama Ca

order to keep Germany out. He

FOR BELGIAN RELIEF FUND.

Even football receipts have been
enlisted in the work of helping the
distressed Belgians. President
James of the University of Illinois
has suggested a post-season loot
ball game between the Eastern and
Western champions, the proceeds
to go to the Belgian relief fund.
He has received hundreds of tele-
grams indorsing the idea.
Several of the Western Confer
ence members have approved the
plan. Wisconsin objects on the
ground there is a taint of profess
sionaIism about playing for big
gate receipts. Harvard authori-
ties are said to have thought the
scheme feasible.
1t seems the plan on the whole
is a good one. The Missouri Val
lev Conference might aid the cause
with some such a game. There al
ways have been many requests for
post-season games, especially in
this conference.
The cause is a great one, with
satisfaction for all; a good game
for spectators, relief for suffering
Belgians. 1t seems the plan might
be adopted throughout the country.
Many people who are not charitable
will attend a game or pay for any
other thing they deem of worth to
themselves. Then they pat them
selves on the back and, with re-
lieved consciences, believe they
have done a great good for the Bel
gians. If human nature can not
be changed and the people can not
be made charitable, let this means
be used to aid in the great cause
of helping the sufferers in the war
in Europe.
