TO AID MISSOURI STUDENTS
Alumni Union Of State University to
Raise $4,000 Fund for Separate
Building.

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 II.
rectors Of the union met and author
lied R. B. Caldwell, president, and
H. H. Kinyon, secretary, to obtain one
hundred life members. The fee for
becoming a life member of the or.
ganization is 500.
A 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.
Fart 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 renting tenn
porary quarters near the campus for
a temporary student union building.
The board also fixed the annual
dues for active members at So and
passed motion that the permanent
home of the union be clubhouse and
business headquarters for men.

CARRY Own TOOLS
Macon. County Motorists Re-
pair Mud Holes In Roads
as They Find Them.
FARMERS HELP WHEN CALLED
The City and County Residents Unite
to Keep the Highways In Good
- Condition.

Macon county is full of patriotic
citizens these days, who carry hoes ia
do emergency work on the roads. The
hoe, and sometimes shovel also, is
carried behind the motor car, and
whenever the public spirited citizen
runs into mud hole or place which
he thinks he can improve with lit
tie work. he gets out and does 1t. 1t
ia considered bad citizenship there
to pass over mud hole without try
ing to repair it.
Farmers used to smile when the
town men talked about working on
the roads, but since they have shown
so much interest in the matter the
farmers welcome them in the all i'm
portant road work. OF course, one
man and one hoe can't do any great
amount of work, but he can start on
the job and If he finds it too big to
tackle it alone, he can give the emer-
gency signal with his motor car horn
and there are plenty of. farmers who
will respond to his call and help do
the job,
DR.. A. B. Miller, former president of
the Macon Good Roads Club, leader
of 1.-The Man With the Hoe" organiza-
ton, said:
1.-THE biggest thing the town man
with the hoe does on the country road
is to convince the farmer that he Is
really in earnest in this matter or
good road work. When the farmer is
satisfied that his city brother is 60
ing with him he will 60 to the limit
1t means that before long we are 60
ing to have in this county such SEN
timent as will vote almost. unanimous
ly for any proposition that tends to
insure roads that will be good all
year." -. ..

-ARAv IS H,PPY AND BUSY
.aVo's't: Weather During June
cauSod Improvement in All Crops,
Says State Report.

VIII favorable weather, practical
~ all crops made marked improve
ment during the latter part Of June.
according to the monthly crop report
issued recently from the office of the
Missouri state board of agriculture.
The report fellows:
THE end of the month Of June
found everybody busy and everybody
ho.e.u on Missouri farms, where
there's no talk of turning the clocks
up in order to get another hour OF
daylight. Right now, with late corn
planting scarcely completed, with
EARL corn to "lay by" and with
wheat, oats and hay harvests all on
hand, the length of the farmers day
is limited only by human endurance
Yet there is heard no complaint. This
Missouri farmer is happy as he hus-
ties. No devastating drouth has de.
manded it's discount. The Big Muddy
and smaller streams have kept with.
.tntheir banks. There is no complaint
of chinch bugs, the army worm or
other insect pests of field crops.
"Corn.-The Missouri corp crop is
one of contrasts. While many fields
have been given the last blowing,
there are others in which planting is
Just now being completed. This is
due to excessive rains earlier in the
season. While some corn is in ur-
gent need of cultivation, most fields
are comparatively clean. The latter
part of June was exceedingly favora.
BILE for field activities. 1t is import
ant, though, that the ground be stir
red right now as the soil in many
fields. plowed too wet, is showing a
tendency to bake, Corn is generally
Of good color and is making a fine
growth since the coming of warmer
weather. In some sections .showers
would be beneficial.
"Wheat.-Harvest conditions are
all that could be desired and the
wheat crop is going into shock in
good shape. The yield, though, will
be the lowest for many years. Final
figures on condition of part not har-
vested show SIS, or practically the
same as one month ago when the re-
port showed 57.2. Present figures
would be lower but for the abandoned
acreage, not now counted in condi-
zion. and representing clear loss Of
17.6 per cent.
"Oats.-The oat crop is fine. Con-
dition, for the state, is 88, as COM
pared with a Swear average of IS.
