Corn Is In Need of Rain. But is Not

Probably not in years have the
farmers Of Rock Island county been
SO busy or put in such strenuous hours
as during the past two weeks. The
hay harvest. followed Immediately by
the harvesting of the oats crop has
kept every available man in the field
from early morning to late evening,
and the almost Unprecedented warm
weather has been a serious tax on the
strength of men and horses on practic-
ally every farm in the county
The clover, alfalfa and timothy
crops have been the heaviest known in
years; the early spring rains and
other weather conditions during the
months OF growth resulted in stands"
that have been surprising even to e1-
perianced men. The timothy crop in
particular caused many farmers 10

Of men to harvest the crop in the
regulation way some farmers set
binders TO work and bound and shock

Alfalfa crop Heavy.
The alfalfa crop has been extraOrdI-
nary on some farms and some big
stories are told about the Pield Of that
popular forage plant. Not for years
has there been so much clover and
scores Of acres have been offered Tor
sale in the field
While practically all the oats in the
county will soon be cut, it Is yet too

Best information today was that
David Lloyd George, minister of war,
did not resign, as rUmored Sunday
nor did he actually threaten to step
down. But he did firmly express his
belief in absolute necessity of small,
compact council with full authority
to conduct war. Apparently Asquith
acceded in this belief.

The Open Column
For a Student-Alumni Upion

Editor the Missouian: In the matter
Of loyalty of its alumni and students
perhaps no university is more fa,.
ored than is the University Of Mis-
souri,.
In the matter OF the organized
support which the University of Mis-
souri, receives from its alumni and
students perhaps few universities of
its size and standing command 50
little.
The difficulty appears to be. there
fore, not that the motive is wanting
but that the means for co-ordinatip.s
our abundant good will into effective
action is not provided.
Missouri needs a center about
which to coordinate the common in
terests Of its alumni aad students in
organized and effective action.
Missouri should have a Student
Alumni Union with student building
near the campus 10 serve as the loca-
ton of the central Organization of tho
union and as the center of student life.
Not only would such a union bpne-
fit the University, but the closer as
sOciatiOn among studer.s would also
promote wider friendship, adding
value to the years spent as under
graduates, and making Home Coming
Day for alumni a reality.
Class friendships mus. be formed
by making possible closer contact
among students, if We expect ever to
make class reunions OF the alumni
fact, instead of mercy i program.
We now need two things:
First. articles from students stating
the advantages of a Student-Alumni
Union and a student building: second.
effective student leadership in pro-
noting the plan.
Candidates for student president
will soon be in flower There should |
be no better way :or candidate to |
demonstrate his fitness for that Of |
fce than by proving his merit in the |
advocacy of such a plan.
For these candidates 20 announce |

HENRY JAMES

An absentee of forty years stand
ing, an eXpatriate in the final months
of his life and the recipient OF the
Order of Merit from a British King
he become a loyal subject of King
yet Henry James was not without
honor in the country of his birth.
Finding for himself the broadest SYM
pathies, the most congenial circle in
England, it was entirely within the
bounds of his honorary province that
he became a loyal subject of King
George in a time of stress. After all,
the important thing is not which
country a man loves so much as that
he have that within his soul that en-
ables him to love some country un-
restrainedly.
1t has been said that his novels will
no. stand the acid test-thGt his
characters do not possess life. Ger
tainly he did not arouse the average
American. But then it has been said
that democracy and mediocri.y are
one and that We in America live from
hand to mouth in the aesthetic world.
However all that may be, Henry
James was an acknowledged stylist.
Whether his work will stand The test
Cf time must be left for future genera
tions to say.

From the Boonville Democrat
The question of a modern sewer sys-

of the mayor, council and citizens of

the many kicks that were registered
against the construction of our fine
sewer system by those who claimed it

The city laid 13.434 feet of mains and
since their construction 1926 feet

been built with over 21,5G7 feet of
connections made. which would make
10 miles and i69 feet of sewers under

IuE PHILOSOPHY OF SPENDING

In monay-mad America the mlscr
mas disappeared. Saving has be-
come 4 lost art. While. in the cease
less gamble for gold, The acquiring OF
wealth seems to be the chief end Of
man. in reality the modern man does

he HES himself to the Eeares. candy
store. If 4 man saves anything from
the rapacious attacks of the II. c. of
L.. he buys an automobile upon the in
stallment plan.
But there is a philosophy of spend
ing. a science for the spender. Ii is
learned in a school of experience in
which the fool is the teacher and he
wise man the pupil. One of the first
principles in this school may be stat
"a in the form of a paradox: the
smaller the income, the harder It is
tc spend. Aimless expenditure leads
to financial disaster; charge account
is The easiest road to poverty. Dut
iudiciOus extravaganza is quite de-
fensible. As Nat Goodwin said con-
carning his wedding suit. 1T pays
to put an extra SO or SIS in a suit of
clothes; then you get some real
wear out of IT,"
To conclude this little essay on
spending, it might be said that there |
is more logic than sense to the prop
osition that since you get 10 per
cent on your spendings and cannot
possibly get more than or per cent
on your savings it is better to spend
than 10 save. But what is the use of
worrying about that?

MAKE THE HOTEL DISTINCTIVE

The plans for the new hotel have
been submitted, the bonus raised and
the name of the hotel chosen. The
question to be considered carefully
now is: "Do the plans and the name
really harmonize?"
Travellers remember the town with
hotel different from other hotels. A
town that has a distinctive hotel is
never forgotten. Columbia should
build its hotel different from those
that other towns of its size would
build. The name was chosen because
it is istinctive-differen from the
names of other hotels The hotel it
self must be distinctive. a Daniel
Boone Tavern sign on the outside and
a picture of the famous pioneer hung
in the lobby will no, make a distinc-
tive hotel if the building itself looks
like an Office building.
This does not mean that the hotel
should be freakish. But the building
can be made to look distinctive and
still not be freakish.

of one opinion and that is that it is an
up-to-date paper and one of which
Columbia, Missouri, L. S. A, should
be proud. Whether in news or adyer-

that appears. When your reporters

crumbs that might be left would not
be worth taking up after by any one.

Newspapers. of course, are beginning

STATS are being kept down very much.
