A statement reported to have been

Federation of Women's Club held at
Fayetteville by DR.. ]. R. Jewell of the
University of Arkansas, in Which he
was quoted as saying $4,000 children

Governor George W. Hays ex-
pressed confidence that President
Woodrow Wilson and his cabinet
would adjust the present misunder-
standing with Germany in an amica-
Die way and If manner that would
bring credit to the country and at the
same time preserve its honor. Gov
ernor Hays. in conpIimenting the
course pursued by President Wilson
and William Jennings Bryan, secre
tary of state, stopped moment TO
speak a word of disagreement with
the sentiment that has been expressed
during the last few days by Theodore
Roosevelt, former president, who has
urged immediate drastic action.
81 regard the position taken by
President Wilson, Secretary Of State
Bryan, the presidents cabinet as firm,
decisive and right said Governor
Hays. MY confidence in President
Wilson and his cabinet is such that
believe they will be able to work out
the proposition in a way that will re-
feet honor and credit upon the coun-
trv and at the same time prevent IN
ture destruction of American lives in
such incidents az that that befell the
Lusitania And l believe they will az
complish this without more serious
complications with the German gov
eminent than already exist.
Germany certainly recognizes the
Righteousness of President Wilson's
demands, and, after all, right and JUS
tice must prevail.
81 think in dealing with all grea.
and important questions. GOODNESS and
|deliberation, as war used by Presi-
dent Wilson, should be exercised, and
IN this instance President Wilson GER
tainly has proved himself to be the
man of the hour, and equal in all re
spects to the occasion. | do not be
lieve it wise for any one il authority
to deal with grave questions in an ar
bitrary and inconsiderate way, and
this has not been done by the presi-
dent.
II do not agree with Mr.. Roosevelt
former president, in his attitude fay
Ioring such immediate action as would
possibly involve this country in such
complications that It would require
zears to adjus: and undo" continued

LIVING UP TO INCHES,

Have you ever noticed how the
characters in popular novel are
dominated by their illustrators? Glib
son would scorn a heroine under six
feet tall. Yet, the fluffy heads of
these heroines rest comfortably on the
shoulders of the Gibson man. How
tall are the men?
What is an author to do with women
six feet tall? The ordinary duties
of life do not fit them. Can you imag-
inc Venus poaching an egg or oper-
ating typewriter? They must be eter-
naily stalking majestically through a
crowded ball room, trailing yards Of
chiffon and point lace in their wake.
Nor is the hero any better situated.
What author would put a bronzed-
faced Hercules on a high stool and
give him countless columns of figures
to add? True, he does occasionally
dress him in blue jeans and put him
to hoeing potatoes, but then he must
make his entire bearing radiate gen.
tlemanly personally. This last is a
terrible taski
Then it is difficult for the average
woman to copy the novel heroine. A
dumpy woman has little chance OF
trailing gracefully through a ball
room. Imagine a woman five feet tall
throwing back her magnificent shoul-
ders and glaring at you haughtily. The
big hats which the novel heroines car
ry so gracefully, make the woman of
average height look as if she had
collapsed in the middle.
1t is truly hard work living up to
inches.

field of endeavor into which he threw
his best efforts and accomplished
much. 1t was the field of education.
Here again his keen foresight enabled
him to begin work that has lived and
grown and proved to be established
on sound principles.
When Jefferson ended his public
career he Immediately threw himself
into the task of reclaiming, by edu-
cation, his state from the decline into
which it was falling He gave the
rest of his life, sixteen years, to this
work. He urged system Of common
schools throughout each county and
was partly successful in establishing
them. He also had scheme for
maintaining in each county circulat-
ing library, a movement which is just
now getting well under way in some
parts of the country But his ideal
was a university free from sectarian
and professional influences, and this
ideal was realized III the University
o. Virginia
jefferson worked for forty years to
get the university established. He and
his friends subscribed $4,000 to it,
and only by the greatest efforts was
he able to get the legislature to sup
port it. He supervised the planning
and construction of the buildings and
as chairman of the board of trustees
watched over it as long as he lived.
Looking into the future this man
was ready to begin tasks which he
knew he could never see realized. He
worken none the less earnestly, how
ever, and all his expectations have
been surpassed.

SENDS A DIPPER GOURD
Dean Williams, As True Missourian,
Is Supposed to Cut II.

An editorial in The st. Louis Re-
public of last Sunday, telling of the
quest of Dean Walter Williams for
old-fashioned dipper gourds to use
at the made-in-Missouri banquet that
will close Journalism Week, May Z,
has already begun to bear its appro-
pirate fruit.
The first gourd from Republic
reader, ]. F. Short of California, Mo-.
arrived today and with 1t the follow
ing letter:
at gives me great pleasure to come
to your assistance in time of distress.
"In this mail | am sending you a
valuable gourd. 1t is of the knob
handle variety-the kind so highly
priced by Thomas Jefferson, Grover
Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and w. j.
Bryan. l send this gourd uncut that
you may know its mouth has never
been defiled by the touch of human
lips.
"It would do injustice to Missouri
and to you, her loyal son, to presume
that you do not know how to cut a
gourd. All true Missourians know
how to do that.
81 claim there is no better way by
which patriotism and loyalty to Mis-
souri, can be taught the coming gener-
ations than the raising and using OF
gourds.
Resolved that the gourd is mighter
than the sword. To the first public or
private school that will debate this
question / will donate as a premium
a generous supply of seed of the
aforesaid variety.
ITO the loyal Missourian the gourd
is the Holy Grail from which he
ouaffs the nectar that bubbles up at
the foot of the hill under the old elm
tree. Long may the gourd live! Long
NAV it's faithful vines ramble over
Missouri, Long may its sweet aroma
be waited over the sacred and hal
, lowed homes of this state!"

FARMERS TO MEET TONIGHT
Agricultural Club VIII Make Final
Preparations for Fair.


The Agricultural Club will meet at
7:15 o'clock tonight in the Agricul-
tural Auditorium to make final pre-
parations for the Farmers Fair. Re-
ports of all outstanding committees
will be given and those students who
have not signed for work will be as
signed to the different departments of
the fair.
Formal invitations to the fair will
be sent out tonight. One thousand
posters advertising the fair have been
reserved for the use of students who
wish to send them to their friends
The postage will be paid by the fair
board
Last night dozen agricultural
students finished mailing 1000 posters
telling of the fair to nearly every
state in the Union and to several for
eign countries. The posters show
views of buildings of the College of
Agriculture and of classes in the Uni
versity.
Judging from the number of letters
received from former students and
graduates of the College of Agricul-
ture. it is thought that the largest out
of-town attendance in the history of
the fair will be here April %.

JEFFERSON. MAN OF FORESIGHT.

When the Democrats sit down to the
tables at the Jefferson Day banquet in
the Virginia Tea Room tonight they
will celebrate the birthday, not of a
Democrat, but of a great and capable
man who gave his talents and his
years to the nation.
Thomas jefferson was a big man
among the big men which the strug-
Cling nation of his time produced.
BROADLY educated, a farmer, lawyer,
statesman, member of constitutional
conventions and foreign ENJOYS, a
founder of political thought, man
whose religious ideas have been a
guide to many, he is best known as
the President who bought the Louisi-
ana Territory. His foresightedness
which made him buy this western
land, despite his firm belief that he
was passing all bounds of his consti-
tutional rights, is thing which has
made the United States forever indebt-
ed to him. But there was still anoth-
er side to Thomas Jefferson, another

COLUMBIA THE FORTUNATE.

You know, after you have been I'm
Columbia for year or two it's hard to
go back home and be contented. 1t
seems as if there were nothing at all
to go to-"
Such was the remark of a woman
Sunday afternoon just after she had
listened to the lecture on Corot and
his picture, The Shepherds" in the
art exhibit The home of which she
spoke was one of Missouri's larger
cities, larger than Columbia, and she
was commenting on the advantages to
be had here in the way of art, music
and lectures. And a Columbia wom-
an who was standing near remarked
upon the fact that so few townspeople
use these advantages.
Columbia is unusually fortunate.
She combines the advantages of the
small city and many of the things
often to be had only in the metropolis.
Just look at some of the advantages"
of this year: Schumann-Heink, the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Hugh
Black, the speakers who are here now
for the Y. NJ. c. A. anniversary, the art
exhibits with pictures by such men as
Corot, Innes, Sargent, Redfield and
Bellows. Go back year by year and
one finds different but equally good
list of entertainments and entertain
ers.
For city the size of Columbia, and
particularly one SO hard to get to, it
is very unusual to get to see and hear
the things we do. With the growing
widespread interest in music and art
the people of the small towns are
more and more spending their money
in taking trips to the cities to hear
and see what they cannot get at home.
In Columbia the artists and the works
of art come to US.

Doctor Brown decided to take a much
needed vacation, intrusting his prac-
tice to his son, a recent medical grad
uate. Later when the old gentleman
returned the younger physician told
him, among other things, that he had
cured Miss Anthony, an aged and
wealthy spinster, of her chronic indi-
gestion.
"My boy" said the old gentleman,
"I'm certainly proud of you: but Miss
Anthony's indigestion is what put you
through college"
