DANGER OF FAMINE
CONFRONTS COUNTRY
Population Increasing Faster
Than Food Supply, Says
]. NJ. Coulter.
OFFERS 4 REMEDIES
If Suggestions Are Carried
Out, High Cost of Living
Will Vanish.

BY United Press
CHICAGO, June 17.-There is grave
danger that famine will descend up
on the United States some time in the
near future, according to Prof. John
NJ. Coulter, head of the Department of
Botany of Chicago University. Popu-
lation here, he said, is increasing
twenty times faster than the food sup
ply.
I'VE ought to have enough foodstuffs
in this country to feed the world"
said Professor Coulter. Instead, We
soon shall not have enOught to feed
ourselves. This growing discrepancy
between food production and popula-
ton is the basis of the high cost of.
living.
-Four remedies present themselves
to prevent famine in the United States.
First we should develop scientific
methods of soil cultivation We must
manipulate the soil properly, and farm
intensively, as the Europeans do. By
scientific treatment of the soil crops
can be increasd 800 per cent in the
United States.
Second, we must plant on every area
the crop which will give the maxi
mum yield in that section. Stop plant
ing wheat in corn land and don't try
to raise potatoes in swamps. Too
many farmers plant their crops with
out knowledge OF what their land is
suited for.
I'VE must, in the third place, develop
drought resisting crops. This is the
work of the professional bOtanist, and
is to be accomplished through expert
ment.
Then, at last, We must produce
disease resting crops, for plants, like
animals, are subject to ills of the
flesh. This, too, is the work of the
botanist.
"If these suggestions are carried out
with reasonable thorOughness the
high cost of living will vanish, as con-
Germs foOdstuffs."

TWO MEALS AND A BUSS BOY
Dill Pickles and 4 Book Added to a
iafeteria Mystery.

A series of complications arose at
the Cafeteria recently, as a result of
which two men lost their meals and
the buss boy, who was responsible for
it all, almost lost his job.
1t often happens that when one is
half through his meal he goes back
for something else. To keep the buss
boy from carrying off the tray, it is
customary to tilt the chair against the
table
One a the diners was not acquainted
with this unwritten law of the Cafe
terra. Consequently, when he went
back to the slowly moving line his
tray was removed. The line was un-
usually long at the time and before the
victim could return to discover his
loss a newcomer had taken his place
at the table
The newcomer also underestimated
his capacity, and he too went back
for more. While he was gone, the first
man returned. Then number two re-
appeared, and when he saw a per-
feet stranger consuming his meal with
evident satisfaction, he introduced
himself as the owner of the meal.
Number one begged to differ with
him asserting that it was his own
meal and suggested that perhaps he
had lost his bearings. Number two
would not be convinced, and it is
doubtful what the issue would have
been had not large dill pickle es-
tablished the ownership of the meal.
Number one had never learned to
eat pickles, and as one was there on
the tray-his tray, he had said-he
admitted that he was mystified. There
was no mystery, declared number two
Number one had merely returned to
the wrong place. Number one was
almost willing to admit that this

WAR AND THE COTTON TRADE.

When the European war broke out
il was believed that the cotton trads
of the United States would be par
alyzed because of a falling off of the
foreign demand for the Southern pro-
duct But today the cotton industry
is in a thriving condition. Everyone
who bought a bale of cotton at the
beginning of the war has realized a
large profit on it. The fears arising
from the conjunction of the bumper
cotton crop of 1914 with the expecta-
ton that consumption would be cut
down have proved groundless.
The reason for this unexpected
prosperity of the cotton trade is the
increased use of cotton in the man
ufacture of explosives. Three mil
lion bales are now used annually in
the manufacture of smokeless pow
der for the belligerents. One dis
charge of a 14inch naval gun con-
sumes 300 pounds of cotton, or more
than half bale This fact makes it
easy to realize that $500 bales of cot
ton were shot away in the North Sea
engagement in which the German
cruiser Bleucher was sunk 1t is cs-
timated that $4,000 bales were con-
sumed in the first attack on the Dar-
danelles.
Germany and Austria, it is estimat-
ed, are using 1,25O,OOO bales of cot
ton annually in the manufacture of
explosives. The Allies are using much
more.
Thus it is that the usual, peaceful
cotton trade has shown itself to be
great factor in the present war.

WAR MAY MEAN END OF VENICE
Beautiful City on the Adriatic Sea Is the
Possible Object of Attack From
Austro-German Armies

When Italy plunged into the Euro
pean war, it carried with it the
beautiful city of Venice. Venice with
its magnificent buildings and price
less art treasures is today the possi-
BILE object attack from the Austrian
and German armies. The large guns
of the enemy could in few hours
crumble to dust the cathedral of st.
Marks. the Doge's Palace or the
Campanile.
But more immediate than the pos
sibility of a siege are the effects of
the war on the tourist trade. Venice
was one of the greatest tourist cities
in the world. The Lido beach is one
of the finest in the world. Tourists
went there from everywhere. Venice
is full of great hotels and handsome
villas. Vast armies of people de-
pended on the tourists for their living.
Germans Its Largest Patrons.
Before the war the Germans were
probably the largest patrons of the
Venetian resort Now the rest of the
tourists are afraid to venture forth.
Venice is still as beautiful as it
was in its days of youth and great
ness Thousands of pleasure seekers
have thronged its bathing beaches.
Sight-seers have marvelled at the
beauties of the Grand Canal, the Pi-
azza, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of
Signs, the Rialto and the Campanile
Venice has been called magic raft"
and the tower of Campanile its mast.
In the galleries and churches are
found the masterpieces of Titan, Bel
lini Tintoretto, Vecchio, Bordone,
Carpaccio.
But there is another side to Venice,
the commercial side. Since the OPEN
ing of the Suez Canal, the port has
increased in commercial Importance
1t excels in the making of lace, fine
glasses and jewellery Also Venice
possesses one of the finest arsenals in
the world. 1t specializes in ship
building and the manufacture of tor
pedoes. The arsenal employs 5000
men.

HERE TO GET IDEAS on CANNING
iberia Academy Teacher COnfers With
Government Expert.

A. X. Watkins, B. S. in Agriculture
II, A. NJ ~, is here to confer with
George Farrell, canning expert from
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, about new methods of can
ming. Mr. Watkins has been teaching
agricultural courses in the Iberia
Academy at Iberia, Mo-. for the last
year.
Iberia Academy is supported by
the Congregational Educational So
oiety of Missouri and is a community
center for Miller County and the re-
gion directly around. Last year a
six weeks short course was held there
and directly after Farmers Week
was held at which lecturers from State
Board of Agriculture spoke. T. Byron
Smith, graduate of Knox College is
president of the school.

buildings were wooden piles driven
into the sand The whole city stands
on this sort of a foundation. The ac-
ton of the water during the hundreds
of years has begun to tell. The COL
stant dredging of the Grand Canal las
caused a slipping of the earth.
The waves caused by the steam
ferry-boats on the Grand Canal, which
have lately replaced the gondOlas to
some extent, have had their effect on
the foundations. The earthquakes
have also helped to disintegrate the
foundations of the buildings Many
scientists insist that Venice is doomed
that it soon will crumble into decay and
be an ugly ruin. Examination would
probably show that the piles upon
which the city is built are fast be-
coming rotten and deeayed.
The most startling indication of the
approaching doom was the fall of the
tower of Campanile, July IA, 1902.
The tall bell-tower crumbled sudden
ly into a shapeless mass of stones.
The tower was later reconstructed,
however, and was dedicated April 25,
1912
Venice Could Not BE Rebuilt.
But the whole city could not be so
reconstructed And with the founda-
tions of the city in its present de-
cayed condition, it would not take
heavy bOmbardment to reduce Venice
to ruins. Bombs dropped from Yep
pellins into st. Marks Square would
easily destroy the famous group of
buildings which surround it. The city
is also subject to the attacks of the
Austrian navy Efforts to attain COM
mercial supremacy have made Venice
easier to approach by sea.
The restored Campanile tower is an
added danger. 1t would serve in case
of attack as an aid for the range
finders of the enemy The tower may
be seen for miles ard miles. The
shock of a shell bursting near the
Campanile would complete the work
of disintegration which is now going
on.
AS a fortified town and the base of
a great arsenal. Venice is a worthy
object of attack by the enemies of the
Allies. Thus it is that Italy's en-
trance into the war has created the
possibility of the total destruction of
the beautiful city of Venice.

THE PLEASURE OF RECOGNITION.

The Summer Session students are
gradually becoming acquainted.
Through contact in class rooms and
dining halls, and by the introduc-
tions furnished upon demand by mu-
tual acquaintances, the students are
meeting each other. But that does not
end the matter. Acquaintanceship
should be cherished and famed by
daily meetings into the flame of
friendship.
Many people cannot remember both
the name and the face, but surely
nearly everyone can remember the
face of a person he has recently met
A nod of recognition from a newly
made acquaintance is a step towards
friendship. When this nod is ac-
cOmpdHleu Dy pledSdHt SLhlie, 'iiO
friendship begins to blossom. When,
with the nod and smile, comes
cheerful Hello. Smith," the friend
ship is nearly in full bloom. But when
the intimate Hello. Fred" is substi-
tuted for the more formal Hello,
Smith," the mountaineering has
indeed ripened into friendship.
The daily recognition of acquaint-
ances by smile, word, or tipping
of the hat is the only road from ac-
quaintanceship to friendship.
