DIED: THE BOGY OF MENDING
Succumbs to Shock OF Seeing Miss
RradfOrd's MissOurian Add.

No longer will bachelors and hard
working students have to do their
own mending and sew on the ever
elusive button-not since Miss Anna
Mae Bradford, student in the Uni
versity, has hung out her shingle-
figuratively-as seamstress and men
der, and solicits all work of this kind.
Her want ad, the result of dare
appeared in last nights Missourian,
and already several orders have been
received and many bets collected. Miss
Bradford decided to enter the business
world when she learned from her
study of economics and from the facts
of bitter experience that prices have
gone up and incomes have remained
stable.

FIRST IN THE HEARTS

The father of our nation-George
Washington-was first in the hearts
of his countrymen, and with this in
spiration he piloted the commonwealth
through perhaps the greatest crisis
in its history With the faith of the
people invested in him, he struck de-
cisive blows, unhampered by politics
or petty disagreements. He was free
to move according to his own good
judgement, and a great nation was
born.
Today the anniversary of the birth
of George Washington holds a new
significance, for another great crisis
threatens the nation. Another execu-
tive fills the place of the first Presi-
dent He also must lead the nation
in the solution of the problem Bound
by partisan politics, hampered by
greedy capital. he will be powerless.
Given the support of his people, he
may move with decision.
The recent moves of President Will
son in the international situation have
been heartily approved by the major
ity of the United States citizens.
Thousands of communications indors-
ing his actions have been received.
In 1917. as in 1776, we must have un-
ion. In the realization that he is now
first in the hearts of all patriotic
countrymen-intellectual. not emo
tional patriotism he has been mov-
ed to action which will. at least, bring
definite understanding between the
United States and the belligerents and
hasten the end of the conflict.
One national crisis was safely pass
ed by cooperation with. and faith in.
the chief executive. Perhaps, by the
same method. the nation will safely
weather the present storm.

OLDEST MAP IN THE WORLD,
1t Proves That Postal Routes Were
Used In Hbraham's Time.

Postal routes OF $500 years ago,
when the parcel post and the Circulut-
Ing library already had been in eX-
lSlcncc at least 500 years, are shown
on the worlds oldest map, a treasure
that was discovered among the .Nippur
tablets III the museum Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania by DR.. Stephen
Langdon, the oricntalist from Oxford
university. DR.. Langdon considered
the map not only the Oldest, but the
best preserved that has come down
from antiquity.
Dating before the time Of Abraham,
the map shows Il comprehensive sur
Vcy Of the region about the temple Of
Nippur and indicates that the country
was under a high state of intensive
cultivation. Canals were numerous and
served both for irrgat ton and trans
pOrtation. They were the mail routes,
and a tag has been found for a basket
of books" or literary tablets sent from
the library Of the Nippur temple to
town about six miles distant, Shurup-
PEEK. According to Babylonian tradi-
ton, Noah lived at this town and built
the ark there. The tag was used about

Every help that will tend to aid

be promptly rendered.
The time before childbirth Is one
Of much discomfort. This is caused
in a large measure by the Tightening

Of the body.

Germs. The state should be
able to employ as good engi-
neers as can private COM
pany and thereby carry out
road work with the maximum
of efficiency and economy, yet
saving the contractors profits
Most of the criticism now be-
ing made of the bonding plan
is that it is a paving company
scheme. If the bonds are de-
feated it will be because peo-
pie believe that charge and
feel the paving concerns have
too much of a hold upon af-
fairs to insure a square deal
for the people. The commits
sion can do much to offset such
an impression and a proper
step was taken yesterday. The
announcement that the state
may do its work direct rather
than by contract will be reas-
suring to many people and at
the same time will have a ten
dency to make paving compa-
MES keep their bids within pro-
per bounds.

BETTER THAN THE ERIE
CANAL

m F northwest farmers want
to know how valuable
water transportation is
considered in the east they may
ascertain by noting the i'm
provements recently made in
the Erie canal by the state of
New York.
Though built at a cost of
81 100000 early in the last
century, the canal had cost up
to $52,000,0O0 by 1896 and in
recent years 100000, 600
more has been expended by
New York in making the canal
suitable for modern naviga-
ton. Towboats are no longer
relied upon. Instead steam
and electric vessels draw
strings of barges after them,
making the trip by night as
well as day. The canal is
lighted its entire length, 363
miles.
Though the cost of the canal
has been tremendous it is
needless to say that this ex-
pense is overshadowed by the
saving brought about through
reduced freight rates. Through
the canal the metropolis of the
nation is brought into connec-
ton by water with the great
lakes and the great region ad-
jacent to the lakes.
In the Columbia river the
people of the northwest have
an Erie canal" such rs De
Witt Clinton could never have
imagined even in his fOndest
dreams. Our canal" is ready
made and merely required inn
at a few points.
In time it will render the coun-
try a great service.

That era passed. Now one
can hardly find a small grist
mill in a weeks journey. Farm
ers have abandoned the rails
ing of practically every one of
the small grains-to their dis
advantage, Vergie A. Sanders,
special field agent of the De-
partment of Agriculture for
New England, believes. But
he feels that a change is com
ing.
"Until quite recently" Mr..
Sanders says, ''it was good
judgment to buy Western
grain and raise commodities
which could not stand long
haul. But the time is now
here when it is profitable to
grow grain in New England,
and, consequently, New Eng
land will do it."
If the farmer finds that he
can save money by raising his
own grains, he will certainly
raise them. With upward
trend of prices-in view, it ought
to be possible for him to be
his own grain dealer at pro-
fit to himself.-Boston Post. |
