CONGRESSIONAL COURTESY

There is term in Washington Of
fetal life which everyone knows and
respects-Congressional Courtesy. 1t
is a kind of you-scratch-my- back-and-
I'll-scratch-yours proposition, under
which Senators and Representatives
exchange votes on each others pet
bills and resolutions, and by which
the pork is often apportioned.
And then there is anothed Congress
sional Courtesy, which prevails in the
public intercourse of the Senators and
Representatives even in the midst Of
the most heated debate, although
sometimes favored with sarcasm,
But there is still another Congress
Sional Courtesy, which you do rot
hear so much about but is most i'm
portant of all three-the courtesy that
Congress owes the country. Right
now it would seem that certain mem
beers Of our national legislative body
have forgotten that there is third
application of this honored term. The
first is still firmly fixed in their minds
as was shown by the resolution to
create a joint committee to supervise
all WEI expenditures lHlS was q
bare-faced attempt to overthrow the
Council of National Defense and Gre
ate the biggest pork-barrel ever.
There is only one thing to do about
this and only one way to awaken
Congress to realization of the fact
that the country has not forgotten
that there is a courtesy due it. The
voice from home will turn the trick!
The National Security League, u.s.
ing as its watch-word the last public
utterance of the late Joseph H,
Choate, its honorary president, "For
Gods sake, hurry up!" has issued an
appeal to the people of the country
to write and wire their Senators and
Representative urging them to cease
their pickering and petty squabbling
and get down to business. We hope
cur readers will do this. The one i'm
portant thing above all others today
is the speeding up of the war program
On our haste depends the length and
possibly the actual outcome of the
war.

EXTENSION WORKERS
IN DEMAND


The demand for extension workers
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture to lecture on food con-
servation and production is constant
ly increasing. Within the last few
weeks they have visited farmers
meetings, meetings of women's clubs,
chautauquas, farmers picnics, bust
ness mems and bankers meetings, and
various other gatherings. Two ex-
tension workers. Miss Bah Bell and
Miss Nellie McGhee, recently made a
tour in special car, which was known
as the women's Patriotic Service Spe-
ciaI, along the Missouri Pacific Rail-
wav in Central and Southeast Mis-
souri,. They visited twelve towns be-
tween August IS and August %.
Miss Bell gave series of lectures
and demonstrations on the compost
ton, cost, and relative value of foods.
She used in these lectures and demon
strations an exhibit of 45 staple foods
She discussed the materials needed
by the body and indicated foods which
will furnish those materials. She al
so offered suggestions which will en-
able the housewife to avoid duplica-
lions and to substitute cheaper foods
for some of the more expensive.
Miss McGhee's lectures and demon
strations were confined to drying
fruits and vegetables and the various
types of dryers. Her equipment con-
sisted of home made drier and ar
exhibit of various dried fruits and
vegetables.
