Blasting Ground For Tree Planting

Blasting for tree planting is best done
in the fall, because at this time OF the
year it is easier to catch the subsoa
IN dry condition. Blasting IN the spring
for spring planting, however. is much
better than planting in dug holes, not
withstanding the fact that the subsofl
is apt TO be wet or damp.
If the holes are blasted In advance OF
the time of setting the trees they are
left without further attention until

Much has been written on how to
plant tree or trees, but if the expert

have any weight on the topic, then the
practice of using dynamite preliminary

TO KEEP MAIN INGREDIENTS

If the plan of some of the prohibit

be knocked out Of Christmas egg-nog
after the next session of the Missis-

A bill will be introduced to prohibit
the delivery of any liquor shipment in
this state within ten days of the
Christmas holiday season. 1t is claim
ed that such law would be thorough
ly constitutional, being in the nature
of a police regulation.
Such law would bring grief and
lamentation to thousands of Mississip-

season, and to whom the Christmas

ished institution. Without this favor

ty per cent of all liquor shipments
received in Mississippi are delivered
during the month of December. The
proposed law, however, would not be
very likely to cause heavy decrease
in liquor shipments during the final
month of the year. Consumers would
merely send in their orders for .deliv-
cry prior to December Is, and the
probable result would be to start the
Christmas celebrations few days
earlier than usual.
In other words, the practical work
ing effect of the proposed statute
would be similar to. the May-Mott-
Lewis gallon-at-a-time law, which has
caused a decided increase in the
amount of liquor traffic in this state,
instead of lessening the volume OF
business.

AN ILL.TIMED AGITATION.

Why this loud and hysterical out
cry demanding that the United States
forthwith increase the strength OF
army and navy? The nations that
would endanger our peace are now
rallying all their power to the Euro
pean conflict The only times this
nation has had war it has started il
herself.
When our population was but three
million there was no attack. Should
we fear now with one hundred million
people and one hundred and fifty bill
lion dollars of wealth? Our relations
with other nations are friendly.
Were we to increase our armament
where should we begin? Battleships
are being proved huge hulks of ineffi-
cheney in the present war Forts will
not withstand modern warfare. Air
craft and submarines have possibili-
ties, but their success at present is
not great enough to warrant large
expenditures.
When the reconstruction of nations
begins the United States will most
likely be called upon to take the lead
in the contemplated negotiations for
disarmament By increasing our de-
fences will we not lessen our infiu-
ence? Preparedness for war precip-
itated the European struggle.
We should be prepared to Join in an
international agreement for the limi-
tation of armaments or Join in a
league of peace Our danger of at
tack is not greater than It has been
for some years. When the refusal to
peace propositions comes from the
other nations, and not until then, Viii
be the time to make provision for
stronger defenses.

NO SWAPPING FUNDS.

Along every two years may be heard
and seen all manner of statements re-
garding the University of Missouri,
true, false, foolish, wise, and mixed.
1t is the biennial opportunity for
airing of private grievances, for reck-
less explosion, for open and covert
attacks. The destructive critic, who
is to be deplored, rather than the
constructive critic, who is to be well
coined, puts in his appearance. 1t is
the open season for irresponsible ut
terance of misinformation.
The alleged swapping of funds" is
case in point. The indictment
brought against the University is that
funds appropriated to the University
for one purpose are used for another
purpose and that no account is made
of them. OF course there amt no
sich animal" The appropriations
made by the legislature are expended
exactly in accordance with the terms
of the appropriation. No moneys are
transferred. There is no swapping"
1t might be better for the University
if such transfers could be made, as it
is difficult to forecast for two years
the exact needs of every division.
Such transfers or "swapping" of
funds, however, are expressly prohib-
tied by law and the officers guilty of
authorizing them are punishable un-
der the statutes of Missouri. They
constitute misappropriation which is
a crime. They are not made, as any
one who really wishes to know the
truth can easily find out for himself
by examining the financial reports of
the University.
The printed biennial reports of the
curators contain statement of every
expense incurred by the University,
for what purpose it was made, to
whom warrants were paid, and the
fund upon which each warrant was
drawn. No statement could be more
complete. Taken in connection with
the bills filed, it gives in the veriest
detail account of the University's
stewardship of every cent of the
State funds appropriated to it. No
dark lantern is needed to get the
facts. Any person who can pass the
literacy test can easily and quickly
find it out for himself

A MISSOURI REFORMATORY.

A bill has been introduced in the
State Legislature which would change
the name OF the Missouri Training
School for Boys at BoonvilIe to the
Missouri Reformatory. 1t would trans
fer from the penitentiary at Jefferson
City more than 200 inmates and place
them on the 5O0-acre state-owned
tract at Boonville and provide sepa-
rate buildings for the older or more
hardened offenders.
Courts of criminal jurisdiction and
the governor will be able to commute
prison sentences of first offenders
to confinement in the reformatory.
That the board of managers OF the re-
formatory may release an inmate and
allow him to remain at home during
good behavior, the bill further pro-
vides.
Penitentiaries are often justly
called training schools OF vice. First
offenders and young men with light
sentences are often placed in con-
