FARM BUSINESS ANALYZED
New Bulletin by FOard and Johnson
Ready for Printers.

A second bulletin by w. E. Foard
and o. r. Johnson, of the farm man.
agement department, reporting the
farm management survey in Johnson
County. is ready to go to the Univer-
sity printers. 1t deals with factors
influencing the size of farm business
and their effect on labor incomes. 1t
also discusses the influence of invest
ment per acre on labor income, crop
yields, amount of work done and the
number of acres operated.
All of these factors play a part in
determining the size of business and
consequently the income which an
operator receives.
The conclusions which the bulletin
reaches are that while a man may be
operating a good many acres of
ground, if he gets poor Yields or
doesn't do enough work, he is not do
ing any more than others on smaller
farms. 1t also shows that a man may
have too much capital tied up in his
farm and also that better yielding
land returns larger profits in spite of
higher value per acre, providing the
value per acre is not due to location
duce.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

Summer Session students are in
deed fortunate in the character of the
entertainment that is being provided
this year at the assembly periods.
This is notably true of the musical
programs that have been arranged.
Four concerts have been an
nounced, two of them by members OF
the faculty of music. The reputa-
ton of these men as artists of un-
usual merit is sufficient guaranty of
the quality of the programs. Mr. Al
exander has successfully conducted
a school of singing and has trained
the University glee club; Mr.. Vena-
BILE, violinist, is the director of the
University Orchestra which has
achieved high popularity; Mr. Gaunt-
lett, soloist for the st. Louis Sym
phony Orchestra, is rated one of the
really great pianists of the country.
The first concert of the series will
be given in the University Auditorium
Tuesday night. 1t is open to all, in
keeping with the University's policy
of encouraging among students and
the whole University community an
appreciation and understanding of
good music.
Music lovers will hope that the at
tendance will warrant the continu-
ance of the evening programs. 1t is
hardly fitting that a musical pro-
gram should end with the tap of bell,
as will be the case if the concerts are
given in the morning, between class
es.
Attendance at Tuesday evenings
program will not only mean an hour
of entertainment such as few cities
can provide, but will lend encourage

MISS PAXTON VISITING HERE
She Was First Woman in U. s. to Get
Degree in Journalism.

Miss Mary Paxton of independence,
who was graduated from the School
of Journalism of the University in
1910 and was the first woman in the
United States to receive a degree in
journalism, is visiting her aunt, Mrs.
]. S. Ankeney, 900 COnley avenue.
Mrs. Ankeney gave card party in
her honor yesterday.
Miss Paxton has done newspaper
and literary work in several fields.
For three summers, fairy plays writ
ten by her have been presented on the
lawn of her Independence home by
groups of children under her direc-
ton. She is also deeply interested in
Campfire work and has written a
number of ritual poems for the girls
Newspaper work." said Miss Pax
ton today, ''is a splendid field for the
woman whose health can stand the
strain. The trouble is, too many girls
think that in order to be real news
paper women, they must attach them
selves to a Bohemian set and play
'hail-fellow- well-met with all the
men in the Office. They do not realize
that womanly dignity is their most
valuable asset if they wish to keep the
respect of their fellow-wOrkers."
Miss Paxton achieved distinction
during her University career by head
ing the party that put the first woman
on the Savitar Board She personally
conducted the campaign, and while
refusing the place herself, had the
satisfaction of seeing her candidate
win.

PUNISHED FOR HER SINS
Now q Summer Student Must Read a
Book She Doesn't Care For.

"Ouch!" walled a pretty summer
student in the women's parlors the
other day. Here's where l get pun
ished for my sins of omission. "Tve
got to write a book review about a
novel I've never been sufficiently III
terested in to read"
But where does the omission come
in?" queried another.
"Oh, one of my highschool young
sters handed in a review on that iden-
tical book the last week of school
and ! didn't take time to read it, !
could have cribbed beautifully from
it, too," she added mournfully.

A PLACE IN THE Sun.

Did you notice two dogs lying in
the sunshine the other morning near
the Cafeteria? They were near the
curve in the walk coming from the
Engineering Building. They were
just dogs; nothing more.
The larger dog was curled with the
bend in the walk, looking blinkingls
east The smaller one snuggled up
against his larger brother, also con-
forming to the curve in the walk.
1t was only a little spot of sun-
light, but they held their. positions
firmly. They, too, want a place in
the light Passersby looked at the
dogs; and the dogs blinked back at
them, and peacefully held their
places. Germans and Allies may have
gone that way, but they passed in
peace: these dogs had a place in the
sun, and were intelligent. No trees
nor clouds were in the way.
When the war clouds pass away
from Europe, the toiling masses and
scattered classes will again strive for
a place in the SUM- Uncle Sam-more
than the dogs-holds a splendid place
in the sun, where peace reigns.
May We hope that the sunshine of
intelligence will soon Danish the
black clouds across the Atlantic, with
its lining of loan sharks gold, and
give humanity place in the sun?

THE SMILES YOU WEAR.

In days like these when rain falls

are brought to naught; when the pic

in such times as these we are likely

family, Warren county's noted Grim
inal. who has a record for murder,
highway robbery and alleged arson,

the prisoner and directing that infor-
nation be given out, and that all local
authorities keep a lookout for the
fugitive. Particulars of Whites es-
cape were not learned.
Bob White, who formerly resided IN
this city and at Valley Park, became
a notorious criminal, and his presence
in the community became alarming
to the officers and citizens generally
He began his career Of crime with the
killing of a Yazoo & Mississippi Val
lev Railroad brakeman named Bar
rett, who was shot down in the com
panys yards.
He was supposed to have sawed his
way out of the county jail, while
awaiting action in. hfs case. He then
bodily held up ard robbed in highway
fashion a Speed street car conductor
and defied the police and other Of
icers until later, when he was captur-
ed at Delta, La, by Deputy Joe Alex
ander. He was sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary, and was
conditionally pardoned by Gov. Brew
er, after eleven months service on
| the farm, on account of his health.
White, upon returning here, was
charged with burning a small house,
and the Governor recalled his pardon,
and the prisoner was hiked back to
the farm at Oakley.
| Local officers will resort to every
possible means to recapture the es
capped convict, as he is believed to be
a totally irresponsible and dangerous
criminal.
