Political CIubs at University.

Young Democrats and Repub-
leans, students in the Universe
ty of Missouri at Columbia,
have formed clubs for the mem
bers of the two political parties
now in school. Last week the
Democratic Club went on record
as commencing Woodrow Viii
sons Administration and es-
pecially his preparedness policy
and his dealings with European
countries now at war. A mes
sage was sent to the President

The chief object of these stu
dent political clubs is to prepare
the students to take advantage
of the absent voters law at the

College Men Back TO the Farm.
Noe than four hundred men
have gone from the Missouri
College of Agriculture each year
to the farms of that state for
the last four years. This in
cludes graduates and students of
the two-year winter course and
students of the four-year col
lege course but does not include
the thousands who take the
shorter courses during Farmers
Week at Columbia or in the
movable schools held in various
parts of the state by the College
of Agriculture. Those who are
sufficiently rogressive to send
their children to the University
are progressive enough to take
advantage of any practical in
formation which is brought
back during vacation time or
after the college course has been
completed. They are not only
progressive enough to get this
advantage themselves but are
usually unselfsh enough to
share their advantages with the
entire community and well
enough recognized as leaders SO
that their ideas will be taken by
their neighbors who are glad to
get the benefit of others with
out the expenditure which they
perhaps feel unable to make.

R GADEN CROPS.
By j. S. Gardner, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.

by j. >. Gardner, missouri COl-
lege of Agriculture.
AS soon as the ground can be
prepared in spring the so-called
cool crops or garden crops which
will stand cool weather should
be put in. Among the hardest
and first to be planted are: on
ions, garden peas, spinach, sal
safy and ~parsnips. Satisfy and
parsnips sprout and grow slowly
so it is a good plan to plant
them in rows 18 inches apart
plant spinach or onion sets be-
tween these rows. Peas may be
planted in pairs or rows 6 in
ches apart, so the peas in the
two rows of the same pair will
support one another and occupy
very little space. Each pair
should be 2 feet from the next
pair.
The next group of cool crops
to plant includes lettuce, rad
ishes, parsley and chard. Chard
is valuable for hot weather
greens as 1t furnishes a substi-
tute for spinach in hot weather
and provides succulent stems
much like those of asparagus.
As it starts slowly it is a good
companion crop for lettuce and
radishes.
Beets and carrots may be
planted about two weeks after
chard, or about April in cen
trail Missouri and correspond
ingfy earlier or later in places
north and south of this region.
About the same time cabbage
and cauilflower may safely be
transplanted, at the proper dis
lance apart in rows of growing
radishes or lettuce, which will
be used before the transplanted
crops need space. Some radish
seed should be planted for mark
ers in the rows of carrots as
this crop comes up slowly. Both
beets and carrots should be
sown thick enough so that they
may be thinned to 2 inches apari
and the plants removed at thin.
ming time will furnish plenty o.
greens. Early potatoes MAJ
also be planted about April !
and as the ground is still coo
and as its plant food become.
available slowly, the seed piece
should be cut large so that the!
will furnish plenty of plan
food and moisture. Early pota
toes should be planted shallow
er than the later ones as hill
cultivation will cover the tuber.
well enough to keep them from
sunburning. The seed SHOULD
be dropped 10 inches apart il
rows 80 inches apart and the pc
tato patch and all the rest O
> the garden should be cultivated
from the time the seed has com,
up to show where the rows ar.
until the crop is beyond injur,
by weeds or drought.

 purpose it is opened. This gathering was in order to raise money for the Christfas plans Of the Sunday school, and $13.65 was realized.
 Nearly all came in costume, and be- fore the masks were removed it was impossible to guess identities. GypsieS and clowns pre1oriEated fTi contrast to the simple dignity of the Puritan costume, a tasteful Russian costume, | children in Chinese dress and in Dutch boomers, sailor boys Tn white, sol
 diers, Punch and Judy the Goddess

 pleasant, tEe preacher said, we feel no
 need of God: when all is dark, and troubles come, it is good to feel that a loving Ged is near. It is natural to say: My hand hath gotten this or
 that. The using of wealth is mans responsibility We are apt to forget how wealthy we all are in possibility. There is a real worth that can't be figured in dollars and cents. How much there is in. the good we get in Christ that we can spread abroad for
 others about us In letting the wealth of your religious knowledge help others yoIIa are making the community better Your wealth of personal experience your love for Christ, your hope of heaven, you would not exchange for tsmoney. As we work out the problem of personal experience there won't be a call from the needy which shall not be answered by our prayers ard sym pathy. At this eason of the year we shall be thankful not only because God has been good ro us individually | but because He has given us so many goods to spread abroad for others
