Praise for Miss Pearle Mitchell.

Miss Pearle Mitchell has been for
fourteen years the owner and manager
of a farm of 32O acres, near Rocheport,
ten miles from Columbia, Mo. She
inherited the farms from her father.
who obtained it under government
land grant, so that her ownership is
tinged by a very deep sentiment and
love for her home. Miss Mitchell is
a successful farmer and she displays
in the management of her farm that
unusual executive ability which she
desires all other women to have. She
has occupied positions of trust on va
rious state commissions appointed by
the governor, she is prominent club
woman and has travelled extensively.
She is an illustration of the fact that
woman may be successful farmer
and yet be a woman of culture and of
broad sympathies and outlook upon
life. Personally, she is tall, we'll
formed and always handsomely
gowned.-The Missouri Woman.

on several occasions lives have been
endangered by the truck.
wish you would give meas one
who is interested in the welfare OF
Columbia and Columbians-space in
YOUR columns to call attention to the
following:
First. the fire truck always has the
right-of-way over any other vehicle.
Second, suppose the fire truck does
decrease its speed and runs at the
rate of eight or ten miles an hour
when going to fires. Practically every
Columbian would Immediately start
criticism of the inefficiency of the
fire department.
Third, last Friday evening, the fire
truck, when on run, had to slow up
on two occasions to prevent collis-
ions with other machines going more
than twenty-five miles an hour.
We have one of the most efficient
fire departments in the state of Mis-
souri,. This has been largely due to
the the effort and efficiency of Chief
Kurtz. and it seems TO me that one
is going out of his way when he takes
issue with the chief on the speed
made by the fire truck The truck
is supposed to go as fast as possible.
II has a signal that can be heard
block away and there is little danger
to pedestrians.
Let us pay a little more attention to
the speeding and violation of traffic
laws by citizens and less to the neces-
sary speeding by the fire truck.-CO-

PRESIDENT OF CHINA
 APPEALS FOR PEACE
Leaders of Revolutionary Move
 ment Asked to Get Together
(Correspc ndence of the Asso. press)

Correspondence of the Agso. Press).
 Peking, June 27.-President L Yuan-hung has appealed through per sonal telegrams for the co-operatiop of prominent revolutionary leaders in restoring peace and uniting the north and the south. Tang Shao-yi, for. mer premier under Yuan Shi-kai Rang Yu-wei who inspired many re- forms in Emperor Kuang Hsu and was forced by the empress dowager to flee for his life in 1898, and Liang Chi-chao, the most famous disciple of Rang Yu-wei, are among the reforrne CTS Lii Yuan-hung has asked to as- sist in the movement to bring about peace.
 The following is a translation of a telegram which has been sent by the president to many influential revolu- tionists: Heaven has afflicted China and disasters and disturbances have arrived in succession. On the 6tK instant President Yuan Shi-kai died of illness and I succeeded him the next day in accordance with the pro- visions made in the law of the coun- try. At this time of political storm, there is an empty exchequer, and the country is exhausted. Being a man of little ability, I feel that I am un- able to hold so great a responsibility As you are men of profound learning I hope that you will give me advice in all important state affairs"
 Rang Yu-wei lived in America for many years after he was forced to leave China because the empress dow ager had placed a price on his head. He also resided for some time in Japan. Liang Chi-chao also lived abroad for a long time, chiefly in Japan.
 Efforts to get these leaders to Pe- king have been futile. They appar- ently have no intention of coming to the Chinese capital at this time. Con- sequently informal negotiations are in progress at Shanghai, and the Picking government hopes to arrange for a more formal conference in that city preparatory to reconciling the north and the south.
 China is really divided into three sections politically at the present time. The four southernmost prov inces are under the sway of Cantonese leaders, Tsai 40 who inaugurated the present revolution, is probably the best known leader in the four south< ernmost provinces, but he has re- mained constantly in Yunnan prov ince, far west of Canton and conse- quently has not participated in the deliberations at Canton.
 Central China, or the Yang-tse Val ley country, is practically dominated hy the military General Feng Kuo- chang at Ranking and General M Shih-chung are the foremost leaders in that section.

Wilson's Department of Agriculture First to Take Up Seriously Problem of Helping Farmers to Mar

bills, in demonstration work, the farmers true interests have advanced as under no other administration.
 The offices of market and rural or ganization, farm information and the states relations service are the bu- reaus that have pushed most vigor- ously the important work of facilitat- ing profitable distribution and by ad- mirable team work have afforded the farmer benefits that formerly through red tape and circumlocution methods he has long been denied. These bu- reaus are helping the farmer to real ize that the vital question he must answer in actual practice is not "how much can I grow to the acre?" but "how much can most profitably grow to the acre?'
 Crops and Prosperity.
 Big crops and prosperity are not always synonymous. It frequently has happened that a comparatively small crop has brought more money to the farmer than a large one.
 In 1912, for instance, the country produced nearly 7O0,0OO,O0O more bushels of corn than in 1913 and yet the farmers received 71,638,OOO less for it than they did the followin g year. Obviously, it is not enough to just produce; the farmers must pro- duce that for which a profitable mar ket can be found.
 To enable the farmer to find such a market is the chief purpose of the office of markets and rural organiza- tion, which was added to the depart ment in 1913. The working out of more economical and efficient ways of bringing farm and food products to the consumer will stabilize prices, minimize waste and increase con- sumption. Increased production will then be advisable in practice as it now Is in theory.
 In this connection, a study of ag-

 Rrmer Upon this fundamental ag- Hcultural fact hangs a revolution that sas been worked in the aims and &C., Rv1t1es of the United States depart pent of agriculture in the past three |ears.
 During those three years, for the arst time in it's history, the depart pent has had at It's head a man who Fas chosen for the post of secretary Prgely because of his ability as an economist! For the past eighteen |nonths it has had also an assistant lecretary who is both an economist Ind a farmer. Thus the Houston re- lime has distinctly economic bias Ind thus the department has at last |ome to the serious consid eration of he economic status of the second Jade of grass.
 Hitherto the stress has been alto- |ether upon production-upon agron- lmy, upon the science of growing the Extra blade. Now the department is
