INSPIRATION FOR THE FARMER

Farmers Week offers the best in
spiration for better agricultural meth
ods that / have found" These words
of successful North Missouri farm
er whose farm is the pride of his
community expresses the opinion of
all who know Farmers Week and
what it is doing for the agriculture
of the state.
Inspiration for better production is
the need which many farmers have
felt. Missouri farmers should not
feel this need now When times are
hard on the farm something is wrong
with the methods used. If agricul-
ture is to keep pace with the other
industries, new methods must be in
troduced. Here is where Farmers
Week steps in.
The farmer gets the advantage of
the best methods of production, is
shown how he may better his farm
conditions, receives something to
work forand work with. Competition
for prizes, which means that excel
lence has been brought about, is Of
fered. To inspire the farmer is one
of the greatest accomplishments for
Missouri agriculture that Farmers
Week or any other such plan could
accomplish.

AGRICULTURAL IMPORTANCE

The place of agriculture in this
country sometimes does not get just
consideration.
The United States is fundamentally
agricultural. In the broadest sense
the term includes dairying, stock
raising and all activities of the farm.
AS such, agriculture is the backbone
of the nations wealth, without which
the whole type of the country would
be changed
1t is popular misconception that
the development of what is termed
'the Iron Age" the age of mechanics
and inventions, of great industries,
corporations and big businesses, is
lessening both the extent and impor-
tance of agricultural pursuits. Neith-
er is true.
The American Government is fores
most in the realization of the power,
place and indispensability of enlight-
ened farming as related to the ma
tion's welfare and progress and makes
constant strides toward fuller and
more complete cooperation with the
farmer. Government researches, the
free distribution of hundreds of bull
letins bearing upon almost every
phase and problem of country life,
state departments, and agricultural
colleges bespeak the nations inter-
est.

THREE SAY SELBY IS FOOTPAD
Students Held Up December IL
Recognize Arrested Negro,

Three of the students who were held
up by a negro early Sunday morning,
December II, have identified James
Selby, arrested for drunkenness a
few days ago, as the highwayman.
The students, Robert Clough, James
B. Porter and Anton Stankowski, saw
Selby at the county Jail yesterday aft
ernoon, and all are positive in their
identification.
The descriptions of the negro given
by his victims the day after the hold
up seem to indicate that Selby was
the footpad. He still insists that he
is innocent. The fact that soon after
Selby was arrested and before the po-
lice had questioned him he began
telling them he did not hold up the
students is considered damaging evil
dence against him. All the students
say the voice of Selby is similar to
that of the hold-up man.

Four eclipses of the sun and three

sible in single year, will occur in
1917, but only two, both total eclips-
es of the moon, will be visible here
January there will be an eclipse of
the moon by the earth's shadow, Wis
ible throughout the United States,
beginning at 11:5O o'clock p. m. and
ending at 3:39 o'clock a. m. The
eclipse will be total between 100
o'clock a. m. ana 2:30 o'clock a. m
December % there viii be another
total eclipse of the moon. The re-
manning five eclipses will be invisi-
BILE to Columbians, unless they should
decide to follow the heavenly pheno-
mena around the globe. In this case
they could observe one eclipse from
the North Pole, one from the South
Pole and the rest somewhere in Eu-
rope or Asia.
The last year in which seven eclip-
ses occurred was early in the last GEN.
tury, and the next will be in 1885.

great city street on his homeward

a great city street on his homeward
journey has become classic exam
pie of the power of custom. 1t is
against this power thai the progress
sive and the reformer struggle vain
ly.
Conservatism has been strongly
marked among the farmers. living
close to the unalterable verities of
soil, wind, rain and growth. Rural
reforms have thus been particularly
difficult Rural organization has pro-
ceeded slowly.
1t is still true of the Missouri farm
er-he says it himself of his neigh
bor-that many do not yet know
what rural organization is. and
many do not want to know. The
"calf-path" of old-fashioned farming
and farm-living has given the farm
ing class an imitation of independence
which many are loath to surrender to
the interdependence of cooperative
organization.
While it is generally recognized
that farmers are compelled to organ
ize in fighting insects and diseases,
the agricultural class has not yet ad-
vanced to the point of organizing to
make the soil produce more, to lower
and not to raise the cost of farm prod
ucts. A few have seen the handwrit-
ing on the wall and recognize that in
the hands of the farmer lies the solu-
ton for a great people.
"Calf-paths" can no longer hold the
marching thousands Of progressive
farmers. Science has erased the
paths from their material existence,
and hide-bound conservatism is grad
ually making way for the larger vi
sion which sees farmers masters of
themselves as class, not as individ-
uals.

Int from the room he previously used

Whistler" I remember q long, not
very lofty room, very light, with win
dows along one side; his canvas beside
his model at one end, and at the
other, near the table which he used
as a palette, an old Georgian looking
glass, so arranged that he could see
his canvas and model reflected in it.

did constantly will know that 1t Is
the most merciless of critics.
I marveled then at his extraordinary
activity, as he darted backward and
forward to look at both painting and
model from his point of view at the ex-
IRENE end of the long studio. He always
used brushes of large size with very
long handles, three feet in length, and
held them from the end with his arms
stretched to their full extent. Each
touch was laid on with great firmness,
and his physical strength enabled him
to do without the assistance Of mahl-
stick, whilst the distance at which he
stood from the canvas allowed him to
have the whole of large picture in
sight and so judge the correct drawing
Of each touch.
