The question of a cows temperament
led P. NJ. Brandt, assistant to Dean
Mumford of the College of Agricul-
ture, to give a Kansas City reporter
some extremely interesting as we'll as
technical knowledge last week. Mr..
Brandt is cattle superintendent at the
Dairy Show at Kansas. At this show
there was a brand which at times has
caused some of the fine cows there to
throw hysterical fits. A committee
formerly requested Mr.. Brandt to
have the band tone down" its music.
Something pastoral" they said they
wanted. The Kansas City Star quotes
Mr.. Brandt as follows on a cows ap-
probation of music

they'd been exhibiting Holsteins, it

GETS VIEWS OF TWO ". L. MEN
st. Joseph Wants One of the Twelve
Land Banks.

W. H. Baker of the extension de-
partment of the University of Missouri
Agricultural College, was one of the
representatives selected to aid in pre-
senting the advantages of st. JOSEPH,
Mo-. in the claim for the establishment
in that city of one of the twelve land
banks to be organized by the federal
government in twelve districts cover
ing the entire United States.
Mr.. Baker said that his experience
has shown that Missouri needs money
to develop its resources and he thought
that this money could be obtained
from the land banks. He also felt
that Missouri farmers are willing to
cooperate in this and other things.
S. d. Gromer. assistant professor of
agricultural economics at this Univer-
sity told of the needs of Missouri. in
the way of cooperation. Mr.. Gromer
said that in Boone County, which he
thought to be a typical county in Mis-
souri,, loans of $500, or less, command
8 per cent interest, and in addition 3
per cent for overhead charges. max
ing about II per cent that the farm
ers pay. Under the federal act not
more than per cent can be charged
and the interest may be even lower.

Is THE STUDENT A SHIRKER!

The University has in its rank o
students many who are earning thei
way through the years of their edu
cation. These students are contribut
ing to their own support, but ar,
they earning the financial support
which is being given them by theil
employers?
In a talk before the weekly lunch
con of the Columbia Commercial Club
Thursday, this statement was made
by Walter H. Braselton, superinten-
dent of the Hamilton Brown Shoe
Companys Columbia factory:
There isn't a man in this world
who is more in sympathy with the
man who is seeking an education than
myself. But in fairness to the Hamil-
ton-Brown Shoe Company and as a
guardian of their interests, l must
get full value for every dollar ex-
pended. We will employ student labor
as long as we get full value"
Is the working student of the Uni
versity giving his employer or is he
taking the easiest way around, earn
ing his salary with the least ex-
penditure of energy? Mr.. Braselton's
statement would indicate that some
students are doing the latter.
The greatest virtue of a man is his
honesty. his ability to play the game
and to play it square Any student
who is WORKING MS way through col !
lege and is not giving value received
for his salary is stealing from his
employer This does not mean that
he must necessarily be a genius, but /
it does mean that he should con-
scientiously perform to the best Of /
his ability any task which his EN-. !
ployer may require of him.
Working while going to school is as I
much of an education as is the in
struction received in the class room Il
The habits formed during this period
are those which the student will
possess in later life. If the student is
a shirker, getting through in the cas-
lest manner possible, his life will be
that of a shirker
Any man with courage and industry
enough to fight his way to the top by
earning his education is man enough ,
to give his employer value received
for his salary.
