CARING FOR OUR GUESTS

Columbia is hostess this week to five
or six thousand out-of-town guests. AS
usual, all the available hotel rooms
were engaged days in advance, and
citizens have been called upon to fur
nish lodging for the visitors
The situation should call attention
to the immediate need for adequate ho-
tel facilities here. The Missouri
Kansas game is only one of the big
events of the year in Columbia. There
are the other games of the football and
baseball seasons, the musical pro-
grams and lectures, Farmers Week,
Journalism Week, High School Day
and Commencement, to say nothing Of
the town events, such as the Boone
County Fair, the chautauqua and vari-
Gus conventions. Altogether these at
fractions bring to Columbia during the
year from 10000 to 10000 visitors who
are here for a period of from one to
five days.
Under present conditions these visit
ors must be entertained almost entire
ly in private homes. 1t is tribute to
Columbia hospitality but at the same
time it indicates lack of civic enter
prise. Many visitors object to enter
tainment in private homes. 1t means
less privacy, more restraint and fewer
conveniences.
With thousands of visitors coming
here yearly, with dozens of conven-
tions and events of state and local in
terest held here every year, Columbia
entertains more visitors for her size
than any other town in Missouri Her
facilities for taking care of these visit
ors should be comparable to her rank

Weather Report for March.

The bulletin of the United States
Weather Bureau giving the climatolo-
gical data for March is at hand. Ac-
cording to DIR. w. ]. Boone, the OBJ
server at Caldwell, we had the follow
ing weather during March: mean
temperature 45.8 degrees; departure
from the normal, plus "a; highest rs,
March %; lowest 20, March 8; great
est daily range 40; total precipitation
O.9l inches; departure from normal
minus O.Ol inches; greatest in "a hours
O:50 inches; number of days with pre-
cipitation of 0.0l or more S; clear
days Is; partly cloudy days IA; cloudy
4; prevailing direction of the wind,
west.
General Summary.
The month. as a whole. was mild
and dry. Only twice since statewide
records have been kept has the mean
temperature for March been higher.
The average precipitation was some
what greater than that for the cor
responding month in 1914. but was
noticeably below normal. Most of
the precipitation was in the form of
rain, the average snowfall having been
the least on record for March. Condi-
ton were favorable for farm work.
and by the close of the month the seed
ing of small grain was we'll advanced
in the western districts, and blowing
begun in the eastern counties. Vege-
tation advanced rapidly except where
retarded by lack of moisture. Early
fruit trees came into bloom in the
warmer districts, and early sown grain
began to terminate. Range grass
made an excellent start. Until about
the 18th the soil was unusually dry
for SO early in the season, but the gen
eral rains on the goth, 3Oth and 31st,
brought relief from the drought. Pre-
partitions were made to begin irrigat-
ing in the southwestern counties on
April LIST. The snow in the mountains
melted rapidly. without causing high
water. The roads were relatively free
from mud.

designated as Peace Day. The play
is highly recommended by the United

THE GERMAN CONTROLLED
FRANCE.

The importance of the FIVE per cent
of French territory held by the Ger
mans is striklingly set forth in state
ment given to the press by the Ma
tional Geographic society. 1t shows
that while it is comparatively small in
area it is very large indeed in indus
trial and agricultural importance. 1t
says:
Holding only about 10000 square
miles of French territory, or less
than one-twentieth of continental
France, the Germans have behind
their advanced lines nearly one-half
of industrial France and the homes
of one-thenth of her population Pas
de-Calais, Nord, Aisne, Ardennes,
Mouse and Meurthe-et-Moselle, of
which the Germans hold all or the
larger and most important parts. are
the banner departments of France.
Here are the mines, the foundries
and factories, and the diaries and
farms, which are the pride, the
wealth. and the strength of modern
France. In this narrow strip under
German occupation, there is produced
20 per cent of all coal mined in
France, 90 per cent of all of the ma
tive-mined iron, and nearly half of
NhC ICpuOuS output OF HlanutaC-
tured articles.
THE iron and steel industry of the
great republic lies almost entirely
back of the German trenches. France
stood fourth among the nations OF
the world as a producer of iron and
steel, with an annual production oil
100000 tons of pig iron and oil
100000 tons of steel. This indus,
try was conferred and contained in
northern France, for here were the
raw materials. The Flemish Goa
basin, extending into the Nord anC
Pas-de-Calais where 100000 miner.
were employed, produced 90 per cen
of the coal mined in France. and
practically, the country's entire supply
OF fossil coal. The iron mines of the
Misunderstanding furnished 81 pc
