commenting On the news of the arm

"The arming of merchant ships
means war, regardless of whether the
casus belli arises in the course of a
few days or a few weeks.
"We desire to establish with all
due emphasis the fact that the Unitel
States in every respect becomes the
attacking party the moment she sends
her guns to sea against the German
U-boats."

READING FOR SAMMlES

Now that our soldiers are at the
front in France. the home folks may
do some things to make them feel
that they, are not forgotten. Sending
books, newspapers, magazines and
other reading matter is very good
way to help the "sammies" forget that
they are lonesome. Every boy in
France is just as interested in the
folks back home as he was before he
sailed for France, and it will cheer
him up to read about his own home
town.
One thing should be remembered
when reading matter is being sent to
the front. No old newspapers or
magazines should be sent, because the
soldiers are no more interested in
stale news than you yourself would
be. Then too, the limited shipping
space on the steamers will not permit
of lot of extra mail. Only the new
est papers and magazines should be
sent, then the space used for sending
the mail on the ships will have been
used to the best advantage

THE OPEN COLUMN
Urges Maximum Crops.

Editor the Missourian: The farmer:
of Boone County during the war crisis
have one of the best opportunities pos,
sible to aid their country win this
war by raising maximum crops. Con-
siderable has been done toward this
end by the National Council of De-
fense and the state councils, but the
raising of maximum crops remains in
the end in the hands of the tillers of
the soil.
There is no doubt that the crops of
Boone County this year will be much
larger than in former years on ac-
count of larger paintings, but many
farmers with fine crop land have
failed to respond to the call. Short
age of hands can be given by many
as the reason for not planting larger
crops, but many did not increase
their acreage simply because they did
not wish to go to the trouble. These
farmers should realize the serious
ness of the food situation the world
over. with the Allies looking to the
United States for enormous amounts
of wheat, corn and other foodstuffs.
England is reported to be facing star
vation within twelve months unless
we can overcome the destruction of
the submarines by sending large
amounts of food.
The College of Agriculture at CO.
lumbia has offered to give the farmers
advice as to the best crops to plant
and to aid in every way possible to
increase production. With the future
of democracy depending largely on
the farmers of this country, is seems
to me each farmer of Boone County
should make a special effort to aid in
producing maximum crops at this
time PATRIOT.

EDITORIAL PRAISES ]. A. HUDSON
st. Louis GlObe.DemOcrat Lauds Work
of Columbia Business Man.

The work of ]. A. Hudson of Colum-
bia as journalist, farmer and bust
ness man is praised by the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat in the following ed
itorial, entitled AN Editor in Busi-
ness:
For many years j. A. Hudson was
publisher and editor of the Macon
Mo.D Times. which he made one OF
the newsiest, strongest and most
profitable county seat weeklies in the
country. His discussion of questions
attracted wide attention. When the
free silver movement was sweeping
the West, he defended the gold stand
ard -valiantly. There was scarcely an
argument in Secretary Carlisle's mas
terly speeches in the campaign of
1896 which had not previously ap-
peared in the Macon Times.
Albion w. Tourgee issued a cam
paign pamphlet announcing the dis
covery of an apparent violation of
the law of supply and demand, under
which an increased supply of gold
had lowered the price of silver. But
the Macon Times had discovered and
stated the new law" years before.
Mr.. Hudson did not neglect local
matters and was an insistent cham
pion of good roads. better farming
and better live stock. He was the
author of the Hudson district road
law.

could not support Bryan. Mr.. Hudson
went into the telephone business at
