to plant single eyes of potatoes due
to scarcity. Take a small bladed knife
and cut the eyes out OF the potatoes

Plant these small eye pieces In the

Would Break Relations With Pikers.

Editor .the Missourian: When ath-
letic relations become so strained be-
tween two institutions that the teams
representing one institution meet with
insults and maltreatment at the hands
| of the athletic teams and student
body of the other institution, some
thing should be done. Reports COM
ing from St. Louis indicate that the
students of Washington University, as
usual when Missouri University en-
cages in athletic contest with them in
st. Louis, forgot themselves in the
basketball games in Francis Gymna-
sium Thursday and Friday night.
History tells us how. during a
football game on Francis Field sew
eral years back, Missouri's band
formed an NJ on the field, and how the
students of Washington University
broke through their ranks as they
played "Old Missouri" disrupting their
symbol. History further tells us how
Washington students once formed a
lane to the gymnasium. making the
victorious Tigers walk on their own
blankets, while the Washington stu
dents jeered and sneered. History
tells US how the Tiger basketball team.
few years ago, was compelled to
play the last part of game with but
four players, because of the unsports-
manlike attitude of the Washington
crowd and officials. The records are
full of such incidents.
Saturday a. -ernoon alumni of the
University met informally at the Mis-
souri, Athletic Association Building
in st. Louis and openly expressed
their Indignation at the treatment ac-
corded the Tigers Thursday and Fri
day. The University of Missouri can
not afford to have this continue.

cloture measure, has taken the pre-
liminary step toward the elimination
of debate for other than international

The measure which was passed is in
itself of significance only inasmuch as
it bespeaks a tendency which will

where swift action is essential. Cloture
comes as a direct result of the wave
of public disapproval after the extend
ed filibuster over the bill providing for
the arming of merchant vessels. The
new ruling provides that, on petition
of sixteen senators, a vote shall be
taken limiting debate to one hour for
each senator. Although it is still pos
sible to impede the course of legisla-
tion through extemporaneous filibus-
ters, the day when the length of the
discussion was limited only by the
physical endurance OF the speaker is
gone.
The public approves the change.

JOINING THE COLORS!

The red cross flies as the flag of all
nations. 1t it is the practical -carry
through" of an ideal into the moral
anarchy of warfare. The greatest
glory of the war belongs to the Red
CrOss-to the heroism of those who
risked their lives not to take anoth-
er's life but to save it. 1t stands for
the truest neutrality, which takes no
account of differences in the allevia-
tion of human suffering. 1t is the fel-
lowship of service.
So much for the appeal of idealism.
But the Red Cross has a practical
civic value-the appeal of efficiency
Its organization at home makes up
citizen relief corps which has had all
the beneficial results of military dis
cipline. Its members learn self-con-
troll, quick thinking, adequate action
in times of disaster. This, of course,
makes for increased personal eff
cheney. Moreover, membership in such
a society will emphasize one thing
that the individual is too likely to for
get in the United States or leave to
others-close relation between him |
self and the community.
Columbia is to have a Red Cross |
chapter. We do not wish to be shown |
by war, but in case of any such dis
aster, Missouri should make a worthy
showing.

FIRST AID TO THE MILITIA

Governor Gardner's proposal to tax
munition manufacturers in the state to
help support the National Guard is an
other sound plan that Missouris gov
ernor has advocated. If the state is
to have a national guard, ready for
service as the new scheme of pre-
paredness demands, it should be fully
equipped and should be made as at
tractive as possible, so that young men
won't be unwilling to join. An unfit
militia is worse than no militia at all,
for military organization that is
lacking in discipline, members and
equipment is a more difficult prob
lem for officers than a group of new
men with complete equipment and a
desire to obey orders.
Graft and lack of discipline tend to
ruin national guard organization.
and the class of men in the ranks is
such that will act as a barrier to men
who are really anxious to be of some
service to their state and nation. II
