But The Pay Goes On.

Judging the iulnTe by the past, when
the hour for closing the session OF the
Forty ninth General Assembly arrives
it will be necessary TO turn back the
hands OF the clock in order that bills
involving hundreds OF thousands Ct
dollars may be rushed through. But
now there is great deliberaiion. The
second week has begun and the 500
legislative clerks are still idle. The
engsossing clerks under the division OF
labor that has been followed for years
will not have anything to do except
Draw their pay Tor several weeks. Pay
day is always busy time. There will
be abundant signs ol activity then. 1t
is only on pay day that one can com
prehend why the weekly expenses
should be $4,000. Th,re may be me-
thod in this. Tne huge clerical force
may be under orders not to be around
in the at other times.

The Value Of Rice.

With the analysis Of foods now be-
ing made il would seem that every one
should have discovered by this time
that the highly polished rice which
looks so appetizing and beautiful be-
cause it is so white and glisteniDg, is
really not only deficient in protein,
mineral matter and fat, but it is also
positively harmful because Of the alb
sence Of these important clemens.
The disease called beri.beri occurs
among people living exclusively on
polished rice.
Unpublished rice is carefully selected
clean rice which has not been coated
with glucoes and tale nor robbed Of its
vital elements which the food expert
calls vilamlnes. 1t contains about
eight per cent Of portein and more
than twice as much fat and mineral in
gradients as the polished rice.
Uncoated rice is sometimes sold as
"unpolished." but it has not the same
food value, as the outer huSk has been
removed. Do not look with suspicion
upon the natural colored, unpo!ished
rice; it is the rice advocated by those
who know food values. From the
standpoint Of economy and nutrition
it is the most desirable food to sup
plement meats, eggs, cheese, milk
nuts and peas.
Brown rice is the richest rice Of al
in food value, Nothing has been Ia
ken away from it, nothing has beer
added. It is the pure rice in its nat
ural brown state. 1t requires more
cooking than the white rice because

Europe Will Invade.

is estimated at nearly $50, 900, ,000,0 900
When an individual gets into debt ne
makes many sacrifices in order to get
out. European nations will be in ex
actly that situation at the close Of the
war and they will sell European pro-
ducts in other markets at as low a
figure as necessary in cTder TO get
money in tx:hange for their goods.
Moreover, they naturally make their
greatest tfiJr, to sell their goods in the
markets where money is most plentl-

desuuctively low competitive prices in
cur market and that is through a pro

Best Help Fruit Growers.

Did you have iull apple crop last
year? Failure OF some varieties Of ap'
pies may be due to lack Of pollination.
T. J. Talbert, Of the College Of Agri'
culture, told Farmers Week visitors at
the University Of Missouri recently
how bees helped 10 make fruit crop.
Many varieties Of apples like Arkan
sas Black, Jonathan and York Imperial
are self sterile and cross pollination is
absolutely essential if set Of fruit is OBJ
tanned. Other varieties like Ben Davis
Yellow Transparent and Willow Twig
are only partly self fertile and again
cross pollinalion is necessary,
The numerous white snowy flowers
clusters act as a guide TO the insects
aud many attract them lar away. When
bee algh,s on a flower its hairy body
may be covered with pollen from an
other variety Of apple. AS the bee
works its way down to the bottom OF
the flower to get the nectar it ruos its
dusty body against the stigma or te'
male organ Of the flower and cross pol
lination is accomplished,
Il is a we'll known fact among the
best fruit growers that the weather con
ditions during fruit bloom has much to
do with the setting Of the Iruit, II the
weather is clear and warm at blooming
time the bess are active and cross pol
lination proceeds rapidly, while ii the
weather conditions are wet, cloudy and
cold the insects are not active and us
ually poor set OF fruit is secured
Strong colds winds may often prevent
the bees from cross pollinatlng one
side OF the apple trees and this may
account for the set Of fruit on only one
one side Of the trees.
Actual counts and observations a
blooming time have shown that the
honey bee is decidedly the most i'm
, portant insect in the work Of pollina
ting the fruit flowers Many count
have shown that from seventyfve tc
ninety per cent Of the insects pollina
ting the blossoms were honey bees,
The wind cannot be relied upon a
an agency to transfer pollen from ap
pie tree to apple tree thorOughout tn
orchard. This work must be acomp
S lished by insects, and the honey bet
e is by odds the most important Ct ther
S all.
Bees will pay for their keep in hon
t ey, aside from their services in ivui
c production.

For A New Constitution.

It was eminently fitting that the first
bill introduced in the Mi souri, House
Of Representatives should have been
one providing for the submission to
the people Of the question OF revising
the states constitution The need OF
thorough revision Of our antiquated
organic law is universally admitted.
Not only was it written forty years age
when nobody dreamed Of such sweep
ing changes as have since come but i,
is peculiarly legislslive in its provisions.
Some Of its specific It quirements as to
criminill procedure have made Mis-
so.ri the laughing stock OF the nation
and our Supreme Court has even been
held up 10 ndicule merely for adhenng
|tJ j. Il is equally specific as 10 other
subjects, tying the hands Of the LegiS
lature and preventing this generation
using its own wisdom in solving its
own problems,
It may be too much to hope that a
new convention will write simple con
stitution, giving the future the right to
deal with its problems with free hand,
We shall doubtless have the hobby
riders with US, insisting on the adoption
Of their patent panaceas. But if the
people are vigilant and elect the best
men who can be induced to ofter them
selves as delegates, this tendency tc
be too legislative may be keptin check
In any event, the constitution will bC
framed 10 meet present conditions in
stead Of those for forty years ago.
1t is unfortunate that the convent
ion must be composed Of two delegates
from each OF the state senatorial dis
tricts, in view Of the shameless sena
torial gerymander. II the delegate
should be narrow partisans they nigh
seek to perpetuate the inequalities tina
now defeat the popular will. But thl

Many Missouri Farms Need Lime.

The use cf ground lime or some
form of lime to sweeten sour soil will
soon become regular farm practice in
many parts Of Missouri. The reasons
fer this practice were given by R. A.
Kinnaird Of the College Ct Agriculture
in a recent lecture during Farmers
Week at the University. Soils which
were origionally poorly supplied with
lime and even limestone soils have lost
so much Of the lime which they for
merly contained that crops suffer Ircm
soil acidity. The continuous teaching
to which soil in the humid regions are
subjected and to which is greatly in
creased by cultivation is largely re-
sponsible for this loss Of lime. The
greatest soil aciditY, therefore, is in
those soils which were originally poor
ly supplied with lime and especially in
regions where the land has been cul'
tivated a long time with little attention
10 soil fertility.
Practically all the soils Of the prair-
lie region Of northeast Missouri are
qnite sour. In the northwestern part
Of the state there is much less acidity.
In the Ozark region sells derived from
limestone have been leached until
they have become very acid. The re.
gions known as the post oak fats are
the worst in this respect. There are
also soils in the Missouri and Miss
issippi river bottoms that are sour.
Not all crops are injured by an acid
soil, but unfortunately most important
cereals and forage crops, especially
clovers and alfalfa, cannot be grown
successfully on very acid soil. Acidity
is indicated by the failure Of these
crops and by luxurant growth Of red
sorel, Canada blue grass and water
grass.
To sweeten an acid soil, sfficient
amount Of finely ground limestone or
slaked lime must be scattered evenly
over the plowed ground and worked
into the top soil. Ground limestone
is usually the cheapest and most salts
factory in general, though it takes
effect more slowly than quick lime,
slaked lime or hYdrated lime, and a
larger quantity must be applied to gel
the same results. The screening:
from an ordinary rock crusher can be
used. Coarser materials has little i'm.
mediate effect in the soil, but if q
much larger quantity Of the course ma
terial is used it will keep the soil swee
fra longer time. Screenings can be
obtained at from twenty FIVE cents t
one dollar a ton. Ia some case
where hauling from the railroad is ex
pensive and where limestone is acces
Sible, small grinders can be used Il
grind the limestone on the farm.
Persons interested in the use Of linn
stone on acid soils should write TO tn

SCOUTS ESSAY WINS PRIZE

This is part Of an essay that won
the prize in q Boy Scout contest:
"Just about five years ago, I decided
to join Troop Of the Boy Scouts Of
America, new troop that was being.
organized in the Black Rock Congre-
gational church. I was at the age
when any kind Of an organization club
or troop appeals. The boys had formed,
many clubs, but for one reason or an.
other, they had never kept going. Here
was chance to get into q movement
that would last, that would be more
enjoyable every year and in which we
could belong when we became men. So
our crowd joined as charter members,
and seven are still in the Red Fox Pa-
troll Of Troop 4, and several are plan
ming to become assistant scoutmasters
shortly.
"The leader Of the troop was our
Sunday school teacher, and he had TAX
en- us out camping several times and
had shown himself capable of taking
care of us and Of showing US things in
:woodcraft.
ssI had read q Scout manual, and 1t
held stores of new and wonderful
things to do. It showed how to signal
by whistle, flag or by fire; how to fol-
low trails by means Of marks and by
the position Of sticks and stones; how
Il cf JChaf
to do in case Of accidents or sudden
illness; how to cook in the open and
how to make fire with rubbing sticks;
how to identify trees, birds and ami
mails. 1t seemed that Scouts must have
great times learning these things.
ssHow proud I was the first time I
wore my uniform. I couldn't help look
ing in the mirror q few times. Other
less fortunate boys looking with en-
vious eyes at my treasure, and pa
tronizingly told them how many pock-
cts it had, all about the dandy KNAPP
sack and about the strong belt and its
hooks.
"Last, but not least, the Scout Oath
and Law appealed to me. I had read
some tales Of King Arthur's Knights
and it seemed that here was my chance
to help other people at all times.
am very glad that I Joined the Boy
Scouts Of America, as have obtained
much fun, experience, and good from
associating with Scouts and living the

The True Socialism.

Once in khaki it matters extremely
little what you were in civilian life.
Among the group of thirty-odd ruffians
who compose the population Of my hut
are an author, journalist, two actors,
a land agent, schoolmaster, an agri-
cultural gentleman, diversified busi-
ness men. and striplings fresh from
school and university.
Each of us preserves his own in
dividuality-off parade, and in civilian
life such variegated group would in
fallibly split up into little cliques and
cabals. As it is, we are informed with
an amiability and spirit of mutual
'helpfulness which is, imagine, the
true socialism, although so ideal a
brotherhood has never get been
achieved by the political socialists who
have had opportunity to put their
theories into practice.-London Globe.

HOW TO MEASURE HUMIDITY
Device That Is Satisfactory Consists
of Combination of Two Their
mometers and Vessel of Water.

You do not have to invest in ba-
rometer, or expend your personal mois-
ture by hurrying to the nearest "ob-
servatory." whether Mt drug store or
at q weather bureau, to ascertain the
degree of humidity. From Power one
gets this hint:
"The instrument in the weather bu-
reau kiosk marked relative humidity
is supposed to show the percentage by
weight of water vapor in the air, 100
per cent being when the atmosphere
can hold no more in the form of steam.
The maximum weight Of steam that
the atmosphere is capable Of holding
Is dependent on and increases with an
increase of the temperature. The ac-
ton of this hydrometer depends on the
expansion and contraction in length of
a hair or fiber as it increases or de-
creases in moisture content.
"Another device for measuring the
relative humidity is combination con-
sisting of two ordinary thermometers,
one having the bulb covered with wet
cloth or wick extending into q YES
sci of water. In the use Of this in
strument the wet-bulb and the dry
bulb temperatures are taken. If they
are the same, the humidity is 100 per
cent, but when there is difference 1t
is necessary to consult tables in order
to obtain the relative humidity"

LAW PROTECTS SCOUT SUIT.

The matter of Scout suits has caused
the Boy Scouts Of America lot OF
trouble. Boys who were not Scouts
would get uniforms and often solicit
money or sell stamps or tag-day cards
or would chop trees and commit other
.depredations that gave the movement
a black eye. 1t finally got so bad that
members Of the congress Of the United
States were asked to pass a law pro-
hibitlng anybody who is not member
Of the organization from wearing the
uniform. This law congress has passed,
and the uniform Of the Boy Scouts OF
America is now given the same protec-
ton as that Of the army or navy or
the insignia Of the American Red Cross
society. So it is unlawful for any boy
to wear his uniform after he ceases to
be member Of the Boy Scouts Of
America. When a boy buys q uniform
he does so with the understanding that
he has right to wear 1t only as long
as he is actually a member Of the or
ganizatiOn.
This law is so far-rcachipg in its eff
feet that no manufacturer has right
to call his product "Boy Scout" chew
ing gum, "Boy Scout" coffee, or "Boy
Scout" anything else. AT the same
time this law was passed there was
even a brand Of "Boy Scout" cigarettes
on the market.

Cork Home for Silent Monks.

A striking curiosity near Cintra,
Portugal, says q writer in the Wide
World, is an ancient convent built par
TALLY in the interior of an immense
rock. The convent is situated in
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by q dense wood Of cork
trees. The convent is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or "Cork Con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1860 to 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order Of monks
known as the Capuchins, a remark
able feature of their religion being
that, except on certain occasions. ST.
lence was obligatory.
