COWS MAKE BIG GAIN

H. D. Luhning, member of
the Otter Tail Circuit cow-test-
ing association writes that his
COWS are averaging 4 pounds of
milk more the second testing
period than the first. This means
40 pounds Of milk for a day for
10 COWS or 1900 pounds for 80
days. The cows are Guernseys
and at a 4 per cent test this
means about SO pounds of but
ter fat. Butter fat is worn SOC
a pound or SIS. A splendid in
crease. This pays the cost of
the tester for the whole year.
But the work has only begun.

TO RAISE $3.50 900 FOR STUDENT
HOME
Campaign Fund For Building mt Uni
Versity ThriVes From Start

Ten thousand dollars will be rails
ed at once as a campaign fund for a
$25O,O00 alumni and student club
house and business center at the Uni
yersity of Missouri at Columbia. This
was decided by the board of directors
of the Missouri Union at its second
meeting recently.
The Missouri Union was formed
about a month ago to include ali
present and past students and faculty
members of the University. 1t is ex-
pected that large part of the nearly
10000 who are or have been connect,
ed with the school will become mem
bers and will give the money for the
building. The purpose of the organi-
cation is to unite all University of
Missouri people in activity for their
school.
The proposed $250,O0O building vii,
serve as home for past members Of
the University when they return and
a place where students in attend
ance can obtain that important part
of education which comes from
mingling freely with each other and
with their teachers. About twelve
important universities and colleges
now have organizations and buildings

HOW ALCOHOL HARMS BODY AND
MIND
Summers Increase In Thirst Brings
Warning From Preventive Medi-
cine Authority

"With the summer weather coming
on the thirst for alcohol in the shape
of beer and other drinks increases.
Alcohol was formerly considered a
valuable medicine, but today its use
for this purpose is extremely re-
stricted. Only in few cases of
diabetes, fever and pneumonia, where
an energy producing substance is
needed, is it advantageous says DIR.
M. P. Ravenel of the department of
preventive medicine ac the University
of Missouri.
According to DIR. Ravenel, alcohol
does not build tissue nor store food
in the tissues. On the other hand it
has poisonous, narcotic action. As
food it is too expensive. While one
may get energy from 10 cents worth
of beer amounting to 24O calories,
the same amount of money spent on
eggs would give $50, on bread 2OSO,
on corn meal 1910, on oat meal 1920.
Use of alcohol reduces ones physi-
cal power about 8 per cent below
normal, while mental efficiency is
reduced from 8 to 27 per cent by
moderate dosing The effect on the
death rate is as strikingly significant.
Comparing abstainers, those who
rarely use alcohol, temperate people,
and moderate drinkers, we find the
following: Abstainers show II per
cent smaller death rate than those
who rarely use alcohol, 29 per cent
less than the so-called temperate
people, and 20 per cent less than
those who call themselves moderate
drinkers.
From an economic and social
standpoint, alcohol lessons efficiency
and productivity in industrial work.
and is one of the great causes of
poverty, destitution and crime. The
annual cost of the production and
importation Of alcoholic beverages in
the United States is about $61O ,OOO,-
600 year. Z"

PUSH M. u. STUDENT UNION
A Fund Of $4,000 to be Accumulated
without Delay

That the Student Alumni Union of
the University of Missouri will i'm
mediately raise $4,000 to further
the union idea, was assured when the
directors of the union met and au-
thorized r. B. Caldwell, president,
and H. II. Kinyon, secretary, to OBJ
tain one hundred life members. The
fee for becoming a life member of
the organization is $100.
student union for the University
Of Missouri was first discussed last
winter. Since that time the idea has
grown rapidly. The plan is to have
building such as is found at the
University of Michigan and other
places, where all students may gath
er and where student activities will
take place.
Part of the money raised will be
used at once to carry on an educa-
tional campaign, chiefly by means of
literature, to explain to the alumni
the purpose of the union. Part of
the funds will also be used in rent
ing temporary quarters near the
campus for temporary student un-
ion building.
The board also fixed the annual
dues for active members at SO and
passed a motion that the permanent
home of the union be clubhouse
and business headquarters for men.
James P. Jamison, the university
architect at st. Louis, who drew the
plans for the union building at the
University of Pennsylvania, submit
ted to the directors tentative plans
for a building, based on the Penn
sylvania plan, but modified to suit
Missouri needs.
The board later will consider the
plans and work out any desired
changes. Mr.. Jamison's plans call
for a 2-story building.

Figuring the Price of Cotton Seed,
Progressive Farmer)

Mighty few Of us are good mathc-
maticians, and so whenever cotton
seed are quoted at $40 or $50 a ton,
the average person has to figure with
pencil what the price is per bushel.
The Following rule is SO simple and
so easy that we reproduce it. Clip it
out for reference.
When the price Of ton is given.
in dollars. take half the price of a
ton and add it to itself and the re-
suit Will be the price Of Il bushel in
cents. Thus: II seed are worth $50
ton, take half Of 20 and add it to
20 and you get 80 cents as the price
OF bushel. If seed are $50 a ton
take half Of 80, which is Is, and add
it to 80 and you get 45 cents as the
price OF bushel OF seed. Now to
find the price Of Il ton in dollars,
when the price Of a bushel in cents is
known, you subtract one-third Of the
price of bushel in cents from itself
and you have the price OF ton in
dollars. Thus, suppose the price Of
bushel IL GO cents; the third of 60
is 20, which, taken from 60, leaves
$40 as the price Of ton. The rule
Is SO easy that any one who knows
the multiplication table can pass
from the ton to the bushel. or from
the bushel to the ton, as fast as he
can talk.
