WHEN FARM AND COLLEGE MEET

Missouri farmers gather in Colum-
bia TO learn what other farmers are
doing and incidentally to take home
with them some new and practical
ideas which shall make farm work
for them less onerous and more profit
able
IL is well for the man of any pro-
fessiOn TO get far enough away from
his own work to get the views of
others. The farmer can well spare Il
few days once year to meet and talk
with other farmers. Not only is there
an exchange of ideas valuable TO both
but there is certain stimulation
which comes with the few days of re
lief from farm worries.
The modern farmer must be a bust
ness man as well as Il farmer. Every
bit of information which helps him to
a better understanding of other men
and of the problems of professions
other than his own make him bet
ter business man and better farmer.
Farmers Week offers an opportu-
nifty for farmers 10 meet and exchange
ideas. 1t offers to the farmer the OPP
portunity for a better insight into his
own problems. At the same time he
becomes more familiar with the Uni
versity of Missouri and the College of
Agriculture. which his money is help |
ing to support and which is doing so |
much to improve the conditions of |
farm life.
Altogether Farmers Week is a
week full of possibilities to the man
who is eager for information 1t af-
fOrds a combination of pleasure and
profit.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION

The application of business methods
TO the administration of city govern
ment is coming to be recognized as
the only policy consistent with eff
ficiency and economy. The commits
sion plan of government for cities
provides for the application of these
principles to the ordinary affairs of
city government.
Let us see what such a plan would
mean if it were adopted in Columbia.
Commission government would mean
the greatest simplification in admin
istratiOn without sacrifice in eff
cheney. Instead of the present mavor
and eight councilmen who devote TO
the city the spare moments from their
private businesses. the city as a whole
would elect mayor and two commits
sioners.
These three men would put in all
their time working for the city and
would be paid salaries that would
make it worth their while. Each of
the commissioners would be RESPONSE

ular part of the government; he could |
not plead ignorance of the conditions

vidod up with a dozen other men.

CITIES THAT GROW Up RIGHT

In Ohio they have a state municipal
league that is spreading to cities the
gospel of planning their future growth.
Most cities and towns grow up hap
haZardly. Too many of them have
those narrow, crooked streets aud un
slightly buildings and a complete alb
srncr of any systematic planning.
Why shouldn't a city BE- built So that
a stranger can find his way Without
the constant aid OF policeman?
The Ohio Municipal League believes
that cities. large and small. would be
wonderfully aided if they employed
federal engineers in helping them in
their municipal architectural and
general Improvement plan. The serr-
ices of the engineers, it is pointed
out. could be had at a minimum cost.
and the results would far outweigh
any cost consideration.
Whether the Ohio plan is the best
solution of the problem is yet to be
seen, but certainly the league is do
ing a great work in carrying on a
to get cities to plan ahead
and grow up right

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Germany has
ordered the Bulgarians to discontinue
their advance into Greece, and to
evacuate occupied Greek territory,
fearing Greece will be drawn into the
war, according to an unconflrmed
wireless dispatch from Rome today.
Several Greek generals have re-
fused to obey orders to evacuate east
ern Macedonia before the Bulgarian
advance. the dispatch said. Instead
OF retiring. they have prepared to de-
fend the eastern Macedonia fort.
The Greek government Is said to
nave laid this information before Ger
many, adding that public indignation
over the invasions has increased to
such an extent that the governm ent
is no longer master of the situation
Upon receipt OF this information.
Germany ordered the Bulgarian with
drawal, 1t was stated.
The Rome report thus far is not
confirmed from any other source,
though 1t Is a fact that only In east
ern Macedonia have the Bulgars con-
ttnued their advance in the past forty
eight hours. After advancing nearly
thirty miles into Greek territory and
occupying Kastoria, the Bulgarian
right wing made no further progress.
Of1cial dispatches from German,
French and British war offices attr1-
buted this halt to the stubborn Serb
ian resistance.

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY NEAR

with the utmost tenacity.
In the past twenty-four hours I
have travelled the Carso war zone
south OF Goritz as far as Monfalcone
Southeast of the town, the Italians
have taken the Austrian second line
trenches and at some places have pen
etrAted the enemy's third line. For
several days there has been no letup
in the terrific hail of-shells in this sec
tor.
Monfalcone, like other villages Of
the Carso, has been levelled by artil-
lery fre. Near the city, q 10000 ton
transatlantic steamer, which was de-
signed for service between New York
and Austrian ports and three torpedo
boats, half completed, were blown to
pieces.
The Carso plateau Is potted with
great shell craters. Ruined Austrian
trenches, wire entanglements, corpses
Of humans and horses are everywhere.
Great fragments Of rock, torn from
their bases by the artillerying that
preceded the capture of the barren
peaks Of Monte SanMichele ana San
Martino lie across shell craters filed
with bodies, creating great tombs.
The opposing lines are SO close to-
gether on the Carso plateau that the
men must be constantly on guard
during the day time to avoid snipers'
bullets.
