to be fighters.

FOR CHILD WELFARE

Columbia was a pioneer in the
Baby Week idea and the women, who
have taken an interest in the matter
here, have done much to disseminate
the doctrine in all parts Of Missouri.
For a time, the local Baby Week was
looked after by committee from the
Civic League. Last year, however, it
was decided that the Importance of
the question, and the large amount
of work which was needed, necessi-
tated a separate organization. At that
time, the Child Welfare Association
was formed.
The Association at once began to
work for a free clinic for Boone
County babies-and it succeeded in
establishing one at Parker Memorial
Hospital. The clinic has not been
largely used, but the association this
year expects to advertise its ex-
istence, that mothers may take their
children for free examination at any
time.
The association will also work for
free nurse for babies and for medical
inspection in Columbia schools.
Monthly meetings will be held, with
lectures on subjects close to the
hearts of mothers. The motners

THE MUNICIPAL GARDEN

The report of Councilman ]. H. Reid
showed that the experiment with a
municipal garden has been success
full. His report showed that eighteen
bushels of beans were harvested and
that the retail price of beans today
is s12 bushel. This experiment
conducted so successfully should
furnish a basis for expanding the
municipal garden idea next spring.
The municipal garden should be en-
couraged because:
1t promotes thrift.
1t utilizes waste labor (by working
city prisoners).
1t may utilize waste ground, which
otherwise would not be cultivated.
1t may provide for the maintenance
of the police department by furnishing
part of the food required for city
prisoners.
By removing prisoners from Jail to
work in the open air, it is move to-
ward city prison reform.
1t adds to the total food supply. and
it is thus an example of practical
patriotism
Now is the time of the year to make
plans for the work of this kind to be
taken up in the spring. During the
winter months additional ground
could be located and partly prepared.
The program of activity for the COM
ing season could be planned. The goal
in sight is the establishment of a
model municipal farm, and the elimina-
ton, so far as possible, of the evils of
a city Jail.

dition to a hundred million within our
own boundaries. Moreover, we do not
know how long we are going to have
to maintain the worlds larder. II we
are wasteful in our homes we may
be robbing ourselves of meals in the
future. II a word to the wise is
sufficient, let US all at least appear
wise. This is a real opportunity for
every one to do his "bit."

LOANS AND CONSCRIPTION

Two subjects demand today mucl
space in newspapers and in the
thought of the American people. One
is Liberty Loans and the other is the
Draft Act.
Men are conscripted, but money has
been allowed to volunteer.
Throughout the United States
mothers are giving up their sons,
wives have taken up the burdens Of
caring for little children and taking
as best they can a fathers place in
the home, that the army of the United
States may be filled, while men with
millions of dollars are allowed to
volunteer the loan of wealth to their
country. They are allowed to give
fifty dollars to the Liberty Loan fund
or fifty million. Most men of
wealth are responding nobly to the
call of the Liberty Loan campaigners.
Others are holding back, either dis
trustful of their governments ability
to pay in the end or simply unable to
conceal miserly nature.
Men of wealth have fought the
measures which tend toward a con-
scription Of wealth. They have pro-
tested, recounting their gifts to public
and private institutions, their parti-
otism and the like. But if ever in the
history of this country men of wealth
have had an opportunity to demon
strate the fact that conscription of
wealth is unnecessary. it is today.
The man worth one hundred thousand
dollars who buys fifty dollar Liberty
Loan bond and feels content is
simply giving for conscription of
wealth another argument Men are
willingly offering their lives for their
country today. Let the men of wealth
do the same with their money and
prove that the conscription of wealth,
as they say, is as yet, an unnecessary
measure.

clubs will be invited to these lectures
and the association will make an effort
to see that the principles preached
are practiced.
The Child Welfare Association
should be supported by every one in
Columbia. 1t is unselfishly trying to
do something which will be a blessing.
not only to the present generation,
but to all generations to come. And
it is especially important in this
time of war that the doctrines of
child welfare should be taught.

WAR ECONOMY AND OUR WASTES

| Wan LSUNUM1 AND VUh WASTES
1t is almost impossible to realize the
amount of waste we permit every day,
not only in food but many other
things. For instance, the cuffs upon
the trousers of American men, one
pair to one man, would make a strip
eighteen inches wide from New York
City to San Francisco. What a waste!
1t is nothing but a leak" in our
conservation scheme. 1t can be
eliminated and by spring the tailoring
establishments tell us the cuffs on
mems trousers, all belts and pleats in
coats and the like will disappear.
The Government is behind the econ
omy move. Again, clothing manu-
facturers are buying up old over
coats and the like and are producing
caps from thus obtained materials.
These facts merely demonstrate what
a saving and what a utilization Of
waste materials can be made.
Now in regrd to the conservation of
our food supply. All of us realize
that food economy is a paramount IS
sue and especially at this time. Re-
fners predict a scarcity in sugar, a
condition they say is due to the prices
set by the retail dealers. In Cuba the
populous is crying for a fixed price
on sugar that they might not suffer
for it. Are these not evidences of
the need of conservation?
Remember, Americans, that we have
millions in foreign field to feed in ad-

work nor do they salute their Of

The Y. M. c. A. has an important
work to do in the war. Clean bodies
and minds will not only help to win
a victory-they will perform the still
greater service Of bequeathing to the
next generation a heritage unstained

make a camp more deadly place
than a battle field.

FROM 100000,
NEXTLOAN FIGURES

Ten billion dollars will be subscribed
TO the next Liberty Loan by approx
mately 100000 individual subscribers.
This is the expectation Of the Oficials
OF the Government in charge Of prepar-
alton OF the next campaign which will
begin probably the latter part Of Febru-
airy. It is based on the fact that since
the closing Of the last loan. the Govern
ment officials have been steadily at work
organizing a selling force FOR the next
one, and today have intact better or
Eanization than any which existed dur
ing the tendency OF either previous loan.
The sale OF War Savings stamps is go
ing well. according 10 preliminary re-
ports which have been received. About
100000 in these little stamps already
have been sold. There is no way OF OBJ
tanning definite returns from the whole
country as the individual sales are 50
small that reports cannot be sent in as
fast as they are made.
As the year goes on, il Is expected the
volume OF sales OF these stamps will in
crease because the educational campaign
now in progress will have had time to
reach the people.
