2,054 IN ATTENDANCE

CHILDREN A FACTOR

In spite of the fact that the attend
aDce of 2.054 at the annual Farmers
Week. which closed Friday night, was
one-fourtl less than that of last year,
Missouri continues to hold the record
Tor the largt..i ANA most successful
Farm. 49, Week in the United States.
Dean F. b. Mumford OF the College
of Agriculture expressed his Satisfac-
ton yesterday not only in the at
tendance but in the great interest
shown in every movement.
Il think that the main reason for
the falling off in attendance at Farm
rrs' Week this year is the epidemics
Of grip and other diseases that have
been sweeping the country" he said.
The decrease in registration at farm
ers' weeks has been felt all over Unit
ed States. For this reason. Missouri
still ranks first in registration. The
total registration this year was $50
less than last year. when the registra-
ton was $50 the largest ever re-
ported by any farmers week
Much EarneStness Shown.
Just as in former years, the prin-
cipal feature of the meetings was the
attitude of the farmers. who showed
the greatest earnestness and enthu-
siAsm. One new development in inter-
est was shown in the greater attention
paid by the farmers to the business
side of their occupation. The market
ing of products. especially Co-Opera-
tive buying and selling. seemed to be
the favOrite topic for discussion.
During Farmers Week more as
sOciations met here than ever before.
These associations formed a federated
agricultural association at one of their !
Joint sessions. The membership Of
this new association is to consist of !
one delegate chosen from each of the |
associations in the federation. This |
getting together of these associations |
will insure greater efficiency and CO.
operation as we'll as greater stability !
OF each organization
More Children This Year.
The attendance Of the children was |
greater this year The registration |
was 100. with 129 taking part in the |
contests. Last year the registration
was l34. Those in charge of the chill
dren's contests were particularly iu-
bilant over the success of the work.
r. H. Emberson. in charge of the boys
and girls club work. said that the
character Of the work was superior to
that of any in past years.
The pupils have shown a remark
able development" he said. THE
grades ranged from 60 to 9S per cent,
a remarkable record when ii is con-
sidered that the grades are given by
University professors. who hold high
standard
The winners all belong to the boys
and girls clubs of the state Boone
County led in having 81 per cent of
the pupils in attendance as members
of the clubs Boone County also led

MUSK IN THE RAW.

Il Looks Much Like Axle Grease, but
Has a Worse odor.
Musk in the raw looks good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk of COM
merce is obtained from the muskrat
is mistake. rt
There is obtained somewhat SINH
lar perfume from the muskrat, but
most of the supply comes from the
musk deer, creature that is carefully
reared in India for the sake of the Sc
cretion. The secretion is shipped In
the crude state and is used not only
in the manufacture Of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also In very
small quantities to give strength and
staying power to many perfumes made
from the essential oils of flowers
Curiously enough. the blossoms OF
two native plants have noticeably
musky odor. One is the small yellow
blossom of a creeping vine known as
the musk plant. Its odor is marked
and Is counterfeited in the commercial
perfume called musk. The other is the
bloodroot. The pure white blossom Of
that early spring plant has distinct
though delicate musky odor.

Il 10 q Priceless Resources That Can
Never 30 Replaced.
"How much petroleum there IS In the
United States no one knows" writes
Franklin X. Lane In an article on
Economic Preparedness" published In
the Scientific American. But at the
present rate of consumpti0n-265,O ,OOO,-
600 barrels a year-it will soon be ex-
hausted, for the geological surveys
maximum estimate Is 23,OOO,OOO,OOO
barrels.
"Whatever the supply" says Mr..
Lane, ut should not be allowed in Its
crude state to compete with coal as
fuel. Petroleum is a priceless resource,
for it can never be replaced. Trees can
be grown again on the soil from which
they have been taken. But how can
petroleum be produced? 1t has tefl)n
ages for nature to distill It in her sub
terranean laboratory. We do not even
know her process. We may find sub
stitute for it, but we have not yet.
ut is practically the one lubricahUo1

turns without its way being smoothed
by it. We can make light and heat by
hydroelectric power, but the great
turbines move on bearings that are
smothered in petroleum. From 1t we
get the quick exploding gas which Is

riculture, commerce and the pleasures

Curious Church Architecture.
The parish church Of Ormskirk, in
Lancashire, England, has tower and
q spire side by side. The tower is built
over the porch at the west end. and the
spire is placed as closely as possible
to 1t. The origin Of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but
there is a tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives its name, de-
cided to construct kirk, or church.
as an expiatory> Offering for his evil
deeds his two daughters quarreled over
the design for the structure. One de-
termined to have a tower; the other
was equally resolved to have steeple.
As neither Of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try.

A BIT OF PRAlslNa.

Z IOU like a bit of praising VIXEN
~ you've mastered something we'll.
You like the fragrant roses and the
i limelight's cleaning spell.
And 50 does she. She hungers
For a bit Of praising too.
In her quiet workaday world,
Just the same. perhaps. as you.
You like to feel you've finished what
you've started on with skill,
And you like to hear your fellows say
you haven't done SO i'll.
And so does she. From your lips
She would love to hear the thing
That would set her bright eyes beaming,
That would make her spirit sing.
It seems to keep you jogging and to fill
you with the steam
That makes the daily effort like q mile
stone in the dream.
And just as you have hungered
For the praise that man may give
She hungers for your prafsing
That her heart may sing and live.

YOUR SHOES.
How TO Take Care of Your Neither Garh
and Keep Neat.

How TO Take Care Of Your Neither Garb
and Keep Nsat.
If 1t were possible to lay in spring
and fall supply of. say, three or four
pairs of shoes we would give our feet
q good chance Of always looking neat.
However, it is possible on a more linn
tied number to accomplish the same
end If we are careful with those we
do buy.
In the first place, it is much more
advisable to pay good price for one
pair than to buy two pairs of cheap
shoes. Cheap shoes get out Of shape so
quickly they are never an economy.
Cheap shoe leather Is dear at any price.
To preserve the shape Of shoe you
must have a pair of trees. and imme-
diately you take of your shoes put
them on the trees. Never allow your
shoes to run down at the heel As soon
as they show the least signs Of wear
send them to be fixed II you wear
them until they are right down at the
heel It is not only bad for your foot
and looks most slovenly and untidy.
but you get them so out of shape that
no amount Of subsequent repairing will
put them right again. "A,
II you happen to get your shoes wet
don't put them near the radiator to
dry. This cracks the leather and makes
them hard. Put them on the trees~and
let them stand somewhere warm and
dry. Wait until they are quite dry
before having them cleaned.
You can keep patent leather shoes
from cracking by rubbing vaseline into
them before wearing them for the first
time.
