SPEED THE PARTING GUEST.

Farmers Week has drawn to a
close and the two thousand or so Mr..
and Mrs. Farmers, whom our mer-
chants. especially, have welcomed
so lavishly, are returning to their
several homes. Every Farmers
Week is better than any of those that
have gone before and this one has
been no exception to the rule.
We hope every one OF the two
thousand odd visitors has found his
or her visit here one of profit and
pleasure, and that they will feel it
worth while to come back again We
trust and believe that the program,
the more formal part of It at least,
was up to expectations.
But most of all we hope that the
visiting farmers learned something of
the head of their states educational
system. We trust they have seen
some of the ideals and aims of the in
stitution and are in sympathy with
them.
Fer ourselves, We hope we have
learned that after ali, the University
must exist to serve the people of
Missouri We believe that Farmers
Week can bring this nearer home.
And we hope to see you all. Mr.. and
Mrs. Farmer, next year.

riety of extension work and of activi-
ties that enter very intimately into
the daily life of the people of the
state is carried on, and the school is
rightly regarded as the personal con-
cern and pride of every citizen. of the
state. II is no longer a far-off col
lege-a place where only the sons and
daughters of the well-to-do are in
structed at the expense of the people
at large. 1t belongs to the sons and
daughters of the humblest citizens of
the commonwealth and it is proved
that there is probably no state univer-
sity in the country where a larger
proportion of the students support
themselves wholly or in part while
they are acquiring an education.
Such an indispensable and effective
unit in the educational system of the
state we'll deserves the peoples gen.
erosity. The day of quarrels and bick-
erings, of "junkets" and charges of
useless extravaganza, has long since
passed away. The university's infiu-
ence has permeated every nook and
corner of the state and the people feel
that it must have all the money it
needs that can be appropriated legiti-
mately.
While the university will never be
all it ought to be until the problem of
its support is rightly solved, and while
it will never be rightly solved until
the institution is given fixed and in
creasing income from an annual tax,
it is nevertheless gratifying to all its
friends to note that in the meantime
the legislatures from year to year are
manifesting a more friendly attitude
toward it, as they better realize its
value to the state. The people them
selves are to blame for defeating ef-
forts to give it permanent income,
but there is reason to believe that they
will repair their error at the first
opportunity.-Kansas City Journal.

hibit TO Add TO Collection.

From the collection of forty-two
paintings lent by the American Fed

National Academy, and represent the
work of some of the best American
artists. The exhibit is open every
day in the Museum of Classical Arch
aelogy in Academic Hall. On Sun
days it is open from 2 until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Votes are put in the ballot box in
the Museum. Among the most pop
ular paintings voted for are, Au-

The death toll of an earthquake,
even, is dwarfed by Wars figures.
AND NOW THE WOMEN.

There was a time when the woman
was the last consideration on the
farm. The first in the mind Of the
"man of the place" was the better
ment and comfort of his stock, then
the most modern implements to ease
his work, then, perhaps, tightening
the burden of the woman.
sTimes are changing. Many who are
in school now can remember when
there were gatherings of farmers
where the presence of women was un-
usual. Think of what you saw last
week. Women,-and lots Of them.
And they didn't come just to be along,
but they had meetings of their own,
to study the things that would help
them better their side of farm life
just as much as Mr.. Farmer was bet
tering his.
Farmers Week is certainly a great
thing for the farmers wife, for it
helps her to realize that there are
other things than work in the world,
even for her, and that even the work
can be done easier.

the Rev. C. R. Greenland his subject
was, and is, 1.-The Harmony Commu-
nifty"
Outlining the activities of his
church and social center community,
known over the greater part of the
middle West, the pastor of Harmony
described the good roads that had
been built, the clubs that had been
formed, the homecoming celebrations
that had been held and the boys and
girls that had been kept on the farm.
He spoke sincerely, for he is a sin
cere man; but a woman's voice float
ed out of the darkness as the audi
ence scattered toward home: "He
made a good talk, all right, but you
can't make me believe"
One afternoon during the Christ
mas holidays visitor stopped at the
door of Harmony Church. Strange
sounds were issuing from within,
sounds that impelled curiosity. The
visitor opened the door from the ves-
thule softly.
On the platform at the front of the
church-a stage for the time being
was a group of representative Noda-
way County farmers and farm wom-
en-, dressed in their everyday work
clothes. The younger people were
absent Plainly the older people of
the congregation were practicing a
play.
In the middle of the group, appar-
emily directing the rehearsal, was
another farmer, fur cap on his head,
a blue overall-jacket on his shoulders,

reaching down to a stout, serviceable
pair of work-shoes. In his hand was
a trombone
Catching sight of the visitor, the !
detached himself from the
group and came to the door, one hand
in welcome, the other
carrying the trombone that had pro-
duced the mysterious sounds.
That man was the Rev. C. R. Green,
the maker of Harmony Community.
What the visitor had interrupted was

THE FARMERS CHILDREN.

Almost as much In evidence last
week as the farmers and the farmers
wives were the farmers boys and
girls. There is more significance in
this than may at first be thought.
1t used to be that the farmer kept
himself and his family close to the
farm. If holiday came, and a little
pleasure trip were taken, the boys
and girls were too often left at home
to go on with the work which filled
long hours of their days. It was this
which was largely responsible fer
the boys and girls leaving the farm
They could see nothing but drudgery
in it.
Now the farmer takes his family
into partnership with him, both in
work and pleasure Wien he takes
a trip, goes to a fair, Farmers
Week, the boys and girls go too. They
enjoy the pleasure of the trip they
get ideas which their fathers did not
get until they were men. The boys
and girls get a new interest out of
their life and become mora efficient.
1t means much for the betterment of
the next generation of farmers.

REPORT ON THE NEW CAPITOL
Despite Trouble Over Stone, Work Is
Progressing, Says E. w. Stephens.


Despite contest between the con-
tractors and the Capitol Commission
over stone for the building, says a
report submitted to Governor Major
and the Legislature by E. w. Steph-
ems, chairman of the Capitol Commits
sion, work on the building is pro-
crossing rapidly and the building will
be ready for occupancy within the
specified time, July 1, 1916.
The report contains some facts with
reference to the building and its
equipment when completed, the con-
struction materials and the quanti-
ties used, and gives a list of sub
contractors who have been approved
by the commission.
The tax levied for the payment of
the bonds when they fall due is more
than sufficient to meet the payments,
the report says.

PuH HVVtD6H HcfIV1 '
The Rolla football team comes in
foy much notice in the compilation Of
principal football performances in
1914. Rolla scored 500 points during
the season, the biggest total score
made by any college team in the coun-
try. Inlay, the Miner halfback, scored
1S0 points and made thirty touch
downs. Both of these marks are rec
ords for the season. Freeman kicked
thirty-nine goals from touchdowns,
but this record was tied by an Eastern
player.

Pleased Win Success.

81 am very much pleased with the
success of the 1915 season. President
Hin continued, discussing the base
ball year now rapidly closing. "We'vc
had an interesting championship race
and the league as an organization IS
in good shape. Some of the clubs,
perhaps, have lost a little money. Two
or three have made some. Most Of
them have played about even. All
of them are ready to stick next year
and all of the club owners are look
ing to next season with confidence.
'"The Western association has now
past the season of doubt and by finish
has come to be recognized as one OF
the best circuits in minor league base
ball. Within the past week ! have
received several letters Of congratu-
latiUna from prominent, minor league
officials. They realize that the. West
ern association has come to stay and
that in the way of supplying big
league material it will in the future
become Il great help to organized
baseball. The first year was a hard
one, but we managed to stick it out
and with the three Texas towns now
permanently attached to the circuit
we have a we'll balanced organizJ-
ton that will undoubtedly supply the
necessary stability to make it go. The
club owners have been exceptionally
helpful i'm the spirit Of cooperation
they have shown and if the same
spirit continues next year nothing can
prevent the league becoming n Of
the best in the country"
