ABUSING FREE SPEECH

Before our nation enters war it
is perfectly proper to discuss the
wisdom of going to war, but the dis
cussion is closed when c ngress acts.
After that no one should pc permit
ted to cloak attacks upon his govern
ment or aid to the energy under the
claim that he is exercising freedom
Of speech. No sympathy, therefore,
will be wasted upon those who have
been arrestd for unpatrictic utteran-
ces. They abuse free speech. And this
States. We can no more allow our al
Supplies to attacks upon the United
lies to be crushed than we can af-
ford to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat of our allies would throw the
whole burden of the war upon US.
We must stand together and fight
it through. There are only two sides
to war-every American must be on
the side of the United States.-Bry-
ans Commoner.

THE 0VERSHADOWING FACT

BOOKKEEPING on THE FARM

To teach the farmer how to analyZe
| his business and determine efficiency
of farm methods is one of the bigges
problems that the United States De.
partment of Agriculture has to face
Agriculture for a long time has been
hit-or-miss industry. because the
farmer is unable to put his finger on
the exact source of his gain or loss.
He seldom knows which methods are
making money for him or which are
sources of leaks.
Farmers Bulletin No. 661, issued by
the Department of Agriculture, con-
tanning blanks to aid the farmer to
ascertain the sources from which he
derives an income, is a means of
eliminating to some extent the unor-
ganized harum-scarum methods he
uses.
Less than 5 per cent of farmers use
any system of bookkeeping other than
a financial record showing merely gain
or loss on the whole. The reasons for
the gain or loss remain undiscovered,
and the farmer doesn't profit by many
The county agent is the lest person
through whom to reach the farmer and
help him to systematic his industry.
No other business in the world of any
Importance attempts to get along
without some efficient system of book
keeping. The high cost of living can
best be battled by the elimination of
waste.
In many industries the gain is al
most entirely from the utilization OF
oy-products that would otherwise 20
% waste. Farming is the most waste
ul of all occupations. The materials
hat the farmer ordinarily allows to
20 to waste would make his living for
he year. An efficient accounting and
system would go far TO-
ward removing this evil.

A few years ago such situation
would have been heresy. Now it is
welcomed by housewives as an illumi-
mating idea Think of the domestic har-
mony in the future, when the daugh-

There is an old French saying often
echoed by the older generation: "If

can. To all appearances the golden

CLEAN THE STREETS

Columbia is a conspicuous place. II
is becoming known as the convention
city. Visitors advertise it-they either
praise or criticise. Next to the side
walks. one of the first things a visitor
notices is the streets. He may pass
by prominent buildings, houses, and
not examine them with critical eye.
But he is bound to cross a street
while he is here and instinctively, will
take note of its condition. If it is free
from trash, Columbias stock as city
rises in his estimation. If it is dirty
or muddy, the contrast is greater He
will not be able to understand why a
city of pretty homes and classic build
ings will tolerate dirty streets. No
matter how many seeing Columbia"
tours he is taken on while here, the
city's streets are right in front of him,
either with a satisfied, well-kept look
or an apologize, filthy countenance.
Columbia has been promised cleaner
streets. They are badly needed. Sew
ers should be flushed regularly, the
streets swept and the dirt carted
away. Paved streets regularly clean
pearance but will outlast the neglect
ed pavement and will be more sani
tary. The expense of upkeep is slight
beside the expense of replacing pave
ments.

THE NEW BOOKS
"An Apology for Old Maids.'

The world, animated by the pref
udices of an animal ancestry, long ago
created legend about celibates which
depicts them as graceless, addressed
'6gly and selfish. This legend has
been taught to so many generations
that now even little children look on
celibates with disdain; it has been
taken up by thoughtless testers, who
ridicule that group of celibates less
able to defend themselves, elderly
women. But Henry Dwight Sedgwick,
In writing his Apology For Old
Maids" explained the deepest serv-
ice the celibate may render to So
ciety. He likens the order to a mod
ern priesthood, having as an ulterior
purpose to encourage an acceptance
of belief in holiness.

MARCH

March, noted for its windiness, st
Patrick's Day and the first day OF
spring. originally was the first month
of the year. Until 1852, if there were
any revelries in England to celebrate
a new year, these took place the night
of March %, for the English did not
adopt the present calendar until 1853.
The GregOrian calendar is in use
today, although the main features of
our year came from julius Caesar He
decreed that the year should have
twelve months, 365 days, with an ex-
ira day every four years, but it was
Pope Gregory who added the revision
that all century years indivisible by
400 should not be leap years. Hence,
there is a difference of eleven days
between the Gregorian and Julian
calendars.
The Romans called March "Marit-
u.s. a name supposed to have been
conferred on it by Romulus, one of
the founders of Rome, in honor of
Mars, the god of war. The Anglo
Saxons referred to March as the ''Hlyd
or Lencten Monath," meaning the
month of windy and lengthening days.
As late as the eighteenth century.
farmers in many parts of Europe
were superstitious about the first
three days of the month, calling them !
Blind Days" and refusing to SOW any
seed then.
March is month of watchful wait
ing. especially for the fruit growers.
1t is as tickle as the well known high
school girl. Sometimes it carefully
brings out the peach buds, and in
other years it cruelty kills them. U.s.
ually it isn't spring month, nor does
it have the characteristics of winter
March blends winter into spring.
Just to save you from repeating
that little rhyme, March has 81 days. ,

FOR THE GOOD OF ALL

On April 3 the Columbia vote
should go to the polls with a visior
of broader and greater Columbia il
his minds eye. He should vote yes
on the proposition to assess a mill tas
to erect and maintain a Carnegie Ii
brary.
A public library would not be an in
stitutiOn restricted to the use of a
privileged few 1t would be for all
Columbia and have as a purpose the
development of all 1t would put Co
lumbia in the list of the more progress
sive cities, striving for intellectual as
well as economic gain.
The money spent in the erection and
maintenance of public library would
continue to give dividends through the
decades to come. 1t would be a util-
ity not only valuable in the present
but in the future. Increasing age
would only add to its value.
Don't you think, Mr. Voter, you can
afford TO assess yourself one-tenth of
a cent on the 500 valuation to help
give Columbia what it has long need
ed-a public library wholly adequate
to take care of its needs?

Pikers Poor Sportsmen, He Says.
Editor the Missourian: | desire to
express in this column the regard in
which all students and alumni of the
University of Missouri held the shame
full conduct of the Washington Uni
versity basketball team and student
body during the second Washington
Missouri game at Francis Gymnasium,
Friday night. Those Missouri follow
ers and also unbiased persons who
witnessed the game were in apparent
concord that the game produced the
most fragrant exhibition of poor sports
manship over perpetrated in Valley
Conference athletic contest.
Owing to the unsatisfactory work
of the referee of Thursday nights
game, new official was successfully
selected for the second game. This
lot fell upon George Bryant, a STU
dent of the University of Missouri.
Washington students soon learned of
Bryant's educational affiliation and
decided to make matters uncomforta-
BILE for him. Every decision was jeer-
ed and hooted. The Pikeway student
body did not support its team by Or
ganized cheering, but by sharp and
persecution of the oppos-
ing players.
Bryant was compelled to call nine
teen fouls on the Washington players
