NIGHT SCHOOL COULD BE
MADE A WAR AID FACTOR

Closer correlation between
night school courses and the re-
quirements of modern business
and industry also was urged. The
night school should be for every
American beyond the compulsory
school age, Osburn declared.
Mrs. Josephine G. Preston, state
superintendent of schools of
Washington, emphasized the re-
sponsibility of women educators
in war time. Many of us cannot
give sons to the war;" she said,
but we have an important part
to perform in this great life-strug-
gle nevertheless. We are next to
the home in influence and respon-
sibility in the training of the
youth of our land. The test of our
citizenship has come"

addressed the National Education

Needs and Possibilities of the
Evening High School"
'"The great opportunity of the
evening high school," Osburn said,
during the era just entering, is
to offer courses that will prepare
our people to meet the manifold
disasters of war. All sorts of
courses for the training of relief
workers should be offered, and
later short trade courses should be
established for those. who return

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
A CONTRAST IN PRICES.

The following is taken from the
book, "Missourians One Hundred
Years Ago." written by Walter B.
Stevens, of Columbia. Few, if any,
of our citizens will remember those
days.
An old settler of Montgomery
county, r. E. Scanland, of Minneola
Springs, remembers when he and his
brother were chased out of a field
by deer because they Ventured too
near the fawns. In his boyhood he
built traps to catch quail which he
sold for Is cents a dozen. Rabbit
skins brought so cents a dozen at
the hatter's shop.
'T recall in those days we killed
our hogs in the woods, where the
were fattened on acorns, and we
could have all the honey we wanted
by going into the timber and chop
ping down q bee tree. And, Just
think of it! There was rise in the
price of wheat, and it got to o.
worth three bits (37 1-2 cents) a
bushel, struck measure. Good horses
were worth $40 to $24 and oxen SO
to $40 a yoke. Milk cows from 81
to $13 each. The kind of rails Abe
Lincoln made cost 81 1-2 cents per
1OO-that was the price for making
them. A negro would hire by th'
year for $40 for the 12 months ana
two suits of cotton or linen clothing
and two blankets. The best class 81
work hands got $S month and the
common ones SO to 81 month A
of our shoes and clothing werf
homemade, and yet those were orI
happiest days, even if we did have
biscuit only once week and that OF
Sunday morning. Venison md wilt
turkey. with old-fashioned cornbrea'
Johnny cake and trimmings wer'
good enough for us and madc llf'
worth the living"

Gov. Fred Gardner is urging that
when the war is over and the soldiers
return home every man should be
given 16O acres q. land by the Gov

to Uncle Sam as a war revenue to
assist in winning the war. If you
are in the habit of advising people
not to buy such tickets you'd better
