WANTS TO TRADE PRODUCTS
Cooperation Advocated by M. U.
Graduate, Indiana Farm Adviser.

A. W. Orr, who was graduated from
the College of Agriculture in 1914, and
who is now farm adviser for Hen
bricks county, Indiana, is seeking to
cooperate with the farm advisers of
Missouri and the State Board of Agri-
culture, in the marketing of the crops
of his county and the purchase of
fruit not raised in his locality.
During his two months of work in
Indiana, Mr.. Orr has undertaken CO.
operative work with other farm ad-
visers in Indiana. The farmers of his
county have produced an abundance
of Keifer pears, several car loads of
which he wishes to sell in Missouri
at from rs cents to s1.00 a bushel.
Through Mr.. Orr the farmers of
Hendricks County want to buy sever
al car loads of Missouri apples, and
an appeal for this cooperation has
been made to the secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture and the
farm advisers of the various counties
in Missouri.

300 FARMERS ATTEND AUCTION
More Goods at Next Sale to Be Held
October IS.

The second Farmers Auction Day,
which was held Monday, was a sue
cess. Three hundred farmers and
buyers attended the auction. The
sales amounted to $4,000. Plans have
been made for the next auction,
which will be October 10. and the di-
rectors promise that more goods will
be placed in the auction ring on that
date, and that there will be less buy
ing back than was the case this time.
The services for auctioning goods
will be free at the October sale. Be
ginning with the November sale the
regular auction commission will be
charged to the seller.
The farmers Auction Day, which is
the third Monday of each month, is
under the direction of a board, COM
posed entirely of farmers. The inten-
ton of this board is to have the farm
ers take complete charge of the auc-
tions. The board of directors are Dr.
W. P. Dysart, John W. Glenn, Abe
Ridgeway, Charles Sinclair, w. H.
Thomson, r. l.. Hunt, j. T. Robnett,

used yesterday. This device for the
development of linemen was used with
good effect last year. Small posts are
driven into the ground and a gymna-
sium mat is wrapped around each
post. Between these two padded posts
is just about room enough for a husky
football man to go through. Two op-
ponents face each other and at the
word the one playing the offensive
attempts to force his way through.
The other man attempts to hold back
his opponent. In this way many of

The tackling dummy was In use
yesterday by the freshmen. On the
Varsity field the kicking branch of
the game was given q good deal of at
tention. Paul Shepard, the punting
halfback of last year, still punts in
good form and gets distance. Graves
is fair in the punting game himself.
Bandy, the former Westminster half
back, is good at punting. Dunckel
and LaRue were also trained in punt
ing a short time yesterday afternoon.
Once, when a ball was punted down
the field, it was caught by Professor
Brewer who ran back up the field
returning it until he was downed by
three tacklers.
Hutsell Directs

experienced man in the middle dis

quarter mile run.
Hutsell accepted membership in

DIFFICULTIES OF GETTING
NEWS ADDED TO BY CENS0RS
Correspondents Never Informed
What Matter Comes Under Ban.

Correspondents Never Informed
What Matter Comes Under Ban.
An idea Of the difficulties that are
Press and the newspapers of the United
states In getting war news may be gath
cred from the letter of a London cor
respondent of one Of the New York
newspapers which was published in the
London Times of the 1ith. Some notion
of what the British censorship of the
press amounts to. and how blunderingly
It is administered. appears in the fol-
lowing portions of the complaint made
by this American correspondent in Lon
don:
All Of us recognize the necessity and
desirabillty Of a press censorship at such
time. Not one OF us would Willingly
send any information the publication of
which could be in the slightest degree
detrimental to the interests of the coun-
try In which we are guests. Neverthe-
less, II is impossible longer to disguise
from ourselves the fact that we are
treated as suspect"
We have asked for but received no
information of what is to be considered
matter that may not be cabled to
America. We have discovered by the
costly process OF experiment that neither
matter which appears in the London
newspapers after passing the censor, nor
even the official announcements of the
press bureau are necessarily available
for publication in America, both being
frequently stopped altogether or mutt
lated out Of all sense and meaning. This
we can only discover when the news
papers come over from America and
from information from our American
headquarters.
All the ordinary relations between
client and merchant have been stopped
as between ourselves and the various
cable companies We cannot find out
from the companies whether our mes
sages have been sent or not. At an hour
In the morning when 1t is obviously too
late for matter that Is not already on
the wire to be in time for publication,
we cannot find out whether any of our
messages are still In hand so that we
may cancel or abbreviate them. Any
request for information meets with the
reply: Our office Is in the hands of
the censor: we are not allowed to an
swer any questions or give any infor
nation"
One finds no more satisfaction in ap-
plying to the censorship itself. My own
experience is as follows: The day after
the censorship had been established I
called at the War Office and sent my card
with an inquiry form duly filled up to
the chief censor. With very little delay
! was conducted to his office. My card
was taken In, and a gentleman came out
who told me that the chief censor was
engaged He talked TO me vaglucly for
a few minutes in the lobby, but was, re-
gretfully, unable to give me any nforma-
tion with the slightest degree of precise
f,nN Nl,..A
ments were not to be reported. More re-
Gently | wished to ask the censor def |
Inite question, and again called at the |
War Office. l was again conducted to tlN |

door Of his office without delay. Ano,h..
gentleman came out and talked with rs1
for few minutes In the lobby Th.
chief censor was out. He thought h.
would be back in about an hour, hui he
himself could not deal with the oues,,oSs
/ asked-a very simple one.
To show that our complaints era -.
made without good reason would like ~ ~
give few examples of our experienced.
! could fill a column with similar bsn.
penings. One day this week I recoj,a,
a cable from New York inforn,jno ~
that nothing at all of the previous nigb,s
cable service had got through In tirs
for publication. This means that a mes.
sage filed here at $3.50 p. m. London tims
or $3.50 p. m. New York time, had no,
been delivered at a. M, London tlme
the following morning. A few days nro,
viously / received cable telling me ibot
of some 5000 words filed here between
D. m. and a, m. considerably less tbsn
one-fourth got through in time for pub.
licatlon.
A message filed by one of my confere,
on Wednesday night was not delivered
in New York till the following FRIDAY
afternoon. That this was not due to tba
matter being objectionable is presun,ablv
proved by the fact that a more fortunate
correspondent, who took the same story
from the same English newspaper several
nourS IaUer, got IL through In time for
publication In the Thursday morninp's
Issue of his paper. Examples of this
kind are of daily occurrence.
more amazing example OF the censor.
ship is the followng The official press-
bureau issued at p. m. on August "a
the account of the naval action in tina
blight of Hellgoland, a story that thrilled
England from end to end. There Is prob-
ably hardly n newspaper in the United
States that would not have published a
special edition for that story. But what
happened to the American correspondents
in London? Every man hurried that of.
fetal account just as 1t was issued. 10
the cable offices, and the censors an
consigned their messages to the
waste-paper basket, for they have moi
arrived I'm America yet. The American
people would have known nothing of that
splendid feat of the British navy until the
English newspapers reached them but
for the fact that by some fortunate acci-
1t can only have been an acc-

dent escaped the censorship and pot

l know they hear ME when I roar;
But still they sit and take their ease,
Because I won't say, "If-you-please"
For they have said that have hung
Three little words upon my tongue,
Three pretty little golden keys
To open doors with, "If-you-plcase."
l wonder why Id rather stand
And pound the door, and hurt my
hand,
And kick and scream, and almost
freeze.
Than say politely, "If-you-please?"
Oh how ! wish that / could turn
The knob; I'd make the grown-ups
learn
How mean it is for them to tease,
And make a boy say, III you please"
