Well, we are not going to agree with

There is something there for you.
There is NEED in your case of going

1t will help you and do you good to

It ought to help the big city you picked
out for your activities if you go back.
You may have looked to it as the sleepy
little town that was all right as small

You may find on getting back there
that the little town in late years has
been very much awake and that YOU,
In the busy, busting city, are the one
who has been asleep.
You may find that while you have
been deeply engaged in the selfish pur-
pose of making much money, or trying
to make much money in worshiping the
rod of greed, the little town has been
keeping apace with progress and has
quite outdone you in thought and in
action.

THE NEW BOOKS
Live Wires.

"The sparrows, not song sparrows,
justine little scrappy kind, are chirp-
ing their note as if it were the best
snogster ever sang"
1--WE can't reform our parents or our
grandparents, but We can do some
thing with ourselves"
Live Wires" is full of such lit
tie paragraphs, some Of which will
give the most skeptical or discourag-
ed an excuse for living and make
them feel ashamed that they even
questioned why they were born.
The book is written by a young
woman of Rochester, N. Y, and is
scarcely the sort of thing one would
expect from a person reared in the
midst of wealth and social frivoli-
ties. 1t is copyrighted by A c. Shelf
field but the name of the author is
withheld.
All through the little volume are
notes Of optimism and encouragement
1t is finding quick response among
the wage-earners but can render
more helpful service among the leis-
ure class.
The parts which appeal especially
to the laboring class are those con-
tanning such thoughts as: This is
the secret of a happy life-work, more
work, at a Job you love-" "Be on the
lookout everywhere to find out what
is a loafer, who are the loafers, why
are there loafers, and how to make
loafers over into loaf-makers."

GIVING ALL A CHANCE.

Columbia needs a public library.
This city is a center of education, with
two girls schools, military school
and the University of Missouri. With
all these facilities for gaining knowi-
edge there are many residents who
cannot AFFORD to use them. Their
time is employed in gaining a hveii-
hood.
To such people a library would
proye of inestimable value. The
building centrally located would In
yite them to make use of its volumes
and evening could be spent pleasure
bly, and profitably.
1t is the duty of the city to give
these people an opportunity to get q
bigger and broader view; TO give them
a chance to break the monotony OF
their lives by reading the books or
magazines that suit them best.

"The thing best worth preserving is

in lecture to visiting farmers We'd

Professor Gromer believes "thhs
farmer should think as community
and no longer as an individual"
"Neighborhood cooperation in buy
ing, in selling, in good roads and in
rural credit must be attended to by
the farmer" he said. Further, the
social conditions should be improved
by sanitation, through education and
recreation, and by Identification Of
rural communities and homes. To ac-
complish such changes the farmer
must have faith and trust In his neigh

Editorial paragraphs are a lot like
broad neckties. They may not mean
much, but they have their uses.
THOSE SURPRISING GERMANS.

The thing for which England long
has looked-the air raid-has come
and gone. The German aircraft left
behind them a few dead men, few
shattered houses and the threat or
another attack. Tactically, the i'm
portance of their expedition was
small; morally, it was immense.
Taking the Germans all around,
they have shown a dash and a daring
that have been totally unexpected. In
the making of war, they have utilized
the implements at hand apparently to
much better advantage than have their
opponents. Their army is more than
holding its own; their navy has at
tackled the coast of England, sup
posedly impregnable; their air fleet
has eluded the vigilance OF British
airmen and has bombarded the tight
little isle" from the clouds.
The Kaiser's men have shattered
traditions and precedent. They nave
done things experts said couldn't be
ACCOMPLISHED. They have set records
that will stand.
And the plagued thing about 1t is
this. You can't tell what they Will
do next. You can merely close your
eyes and hope for the best. Slang
only can do them justice; you have
to "hand it to" the Germans.

The Literary Trawler

We all admire, in a certain way,
the unbroken self-conscienceness OF
the aristocrat of former times. He
had at least this in his favour; he
was sure of his right to occupy his
exceptional position. He stood firmly
on his feet. The false belief that he
was baked of better clay than the
common herd enabled him to do 30.

have not this belief.-Feliz Adler.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI.

From the Kansas City Star.
The University of Missouri has
taken its place among the great state
institutions of the country. The fac
ulty, which has been built up under
the administration of President Hill,
is notably efficient. Among It's men,
bers are men of national reputation.
The school is source Of pride to
the state. 1t is mighty gratifying to
all Missourians to know that their
sons and daughters can get as good
an education as the country affords
right here at home. When an institu-
tion makes good, as the University OF
Missouri has made good, it can depend
on the support of forward-looking cit
izens-in the legislature as we'll as
out of it.
