MOVABLE TRENCHES INVENTED
Marines Use Them in Practicing Hand
Grenade Throwing.

QUANTICO, Va, Sept. "a
Trenches that may be picked up
bodily and moved around from place
to place have been invented by United
States Marines stationed here, who
use this novel apparatus for practice
in hand grenade throwing.
Sections, about 10 feet long, with a
parapet that stands three feet above
the head of the grenadier, form skel-
eton framework of pine, shaped sim
ilarly to the regular trenches. From
inside these portable trenches, or
stalls" as the marines call them,
the sea-soldiers hurl the grenades
over the top and into other stalls,
placed about so feet away, to repre-
sent the enemy trenches.
The practice grenades are non-ex-
plosive, but are of the same weight
and size as those used by the Allies.
Long, rangy fellows prove to be the
best throwers, as their greater reach
helps them to develop the sweeping
overhead throw that experienced
grenadiers use.

EDUCATION GOES ON

Registration for the 1917-1S school
year at the University of Missouri has
ended with the result that the enroll
ment shows a decrease of only $50,
or less than 25 per cent. In view of
the unusual call for war service at
this most trying time in the history
of the United States, Missouri can
congratulate herself that her institu-
tion of learning has prospered so in
number of students.
Answering the call to war service
in any capacity is a noble act, and
the University of Missouri has been
exceptionally represented in this way.
But. for those not eligible on account
of age or otherwise, to continue their
work of obtaining an education is the
wisest and most patriotic step. The
unusual demands of war call for men
of education to conduct its affairs.
But, first of all, there will be an ex-
traordinary need for men of excep-
tional ability to act as leaders when
the war is over.
President A. Ross Hill, in his first
address to the students this year,
urged them to put forth their best
efforts in making this the banner
year for Missouri in scholastic attain
ments. His statement that anyone
who does not do so is proving himself
a Stacker, as much as the man who
shirks his military duty when called,
is true in every way. Let us hold up
the standard of Missouri education
during the war so that We may play
our part in the great war and in the
days after it is ended.

U. s. EMBARGO HITS HOLLAND
Farmers Are Advised to Feed Willow
Twigs to Cattle Instead of Hay.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. so.
Gloomy pictures are being drawn
here of the agricultural outlook in
Holland as the result of the stoppage
of fodder exports from America. The
acuteness of the position has been
enhanced by poor hay crop, and the
small farmer in particular is faced
with the greatest difficulties
According to the well-informed ag-
ricultural correspondent of the News
Van Der Dag, cattle breeders are in
great distress and cattle are growing
lean in the meadows. Pig-fattening
has come to a standstill. "If the
supplies of fodder and fertilizers are
stopped" he writes, "cattle-breeding
and agriculture will go to rack and
ruin.
IF the world market be closed to
us-and this is what happens if we
cannot export to Germany-agricul
ture and market gardening will re-
ceive their death blow, and not only
farmers, but the whole nation, will
suffer. The financial status of the
country population will decline Many
of the small farmers have already
reached the limit of their financial ca
pacity, and are on the verge of abso-

Y.M. C. A.. PREPARES FOR TROOPS
Seven of Nine Buildings at Fort Sill

Sept. 24-With seven of the nine Y.

! the weary National Guardsmen sent

educational advantages, at the end OF
| the days work. Some OF the build
| ings have come into their full useful
ness by the soldiers already here.
Reading rooms, in which books,
/ late magazines, newspapers and other
periodicals are at the disposal OF the
guardsmen, are receiving increasing
patronage from the soldiery. Chess,
checkers and other games afford quick
relaxation and diversion from the
grind" of rockies day. Pianos and
talking machines also are available
for their amusement.
Writing paper, pens, ink and desks,
however, come in for their share OF
favor, too. On one day less than two
weeks ago, more than 1000 letters
were written in Y NJ c. A. recreation
rooms.
When the full quota of Kansas and
Missouri guard becomes established
here, Y. NJ. C. A. officials estimate the
consumption of letter paper at 10000
sheets a week. One-half barrel of ink
will be necessary during the like
length of time Five tons of ice will
be required during seven days to
quench the soldiers thirst. Six mo-
tion picture shows will be put into
operation this week, each giving three
performances a week. Only the best
first-run films will be used. 1t is es-
timated that within sixty days 25O
such motion picture shows will be es-
tablished by the Y. NJ. c. A. in the
southern district.
The monthly expenses of the organ
ization here will aggregate $4,000.
Purchasing for the entire district is ,
in charge of a single department.

lutte impoverishment. Matters have
come to such a pass that the cattle
have to be sold at half their original
price. There goes the farmers work
ing capital, together with the profits.
The whole nation is face to face with
bad winter"
The downcast Dutch farmer Is
meanwhile advised by one fellow agri-
culturist to feed his cattle on willow
twigs, asserting that the willows are
readily eaten by the cattle, and that
the animals thrive on them. 1T
save a great deal of hay" he asserts.
'and if the cattle do not become fat
on the contrary, they become little
'stringy'-they are perfectly healthy
and strong. That shows, too, in the
calves they bear Small, wiry, strong
calves are borne by cows that have
eaten a lot of wood"
An official report just issued shows
that nearly $4,000 acres less land is
under crops this year than in 1916,
doubtless partly owing to the short
age of fertilizers. There is an in
crease of the area under grain, but
this is like drop in the bucket COM
pared with the oversee imports.

With the addition of Theodore
Roosevelt to the list of contributing
editors to the Kansas City Star Mis-
souri, augments the glory of its his
tory. Mr.. Roosevelt's opinions are
weighty because they are backed by
years of crucial tests and experience
His literary style is clear-cut, per-
suasive and forceful. There is no
hedging about his ideas nor lack of
frankness in their expression.
Quoting the Colonel recently in the
Remarkable Remarks column of the
Independent magazine appeared the
statement: Il am peaceful literary
man." Though the quotation may
seem ironical, there is a semblance of
truth in it, for virtually all his pro-
ductions have for their ultimate pur-
pose the obtaining of universal and
lasting peace 1t is his method of
reaching this desirable end and not
the end itself to which many persons
object
At all events, Mr.. Roosevelts writ
ings possess virility and freshness
which stimulates constructive thought
and the newspaper makers of the state
are glad to have the opportunity of
expressing themselves in the words:

CHAuTAUQUA PLEAsER THE

Those who compose the Chautau-

Weyburn Review says:
A week Of entertainment and in
struction that has been. a Joy to all
who attended came to a close last
night when the waikiki Hawaiian
concert party appeared on the local

dience that packed the big tent to
It's utmost capacity, and despite the
full measure. pressed down and run
ming over, Of good things that had
been presented for the qualification
OF the people OF Weyburn and dis
trict during the preceding days, the
crowd wendell its way homeward
filled with regret that for the present
year at least, Chautauqua had be-
come thing OF the past.
Not unmingIed however were those
regrets with sentiment Of salts
faction and pleasure. for there was
wealth Of memory on which to
dwell, mad an assured prospect of
future gatherings of a like nature
to be anticipated and awaited with
interest and pleasure.
In so far as this city is concerned,
there 10 but one thing that can be
said OF Chautauqua-it has made
good. Every anticipation of the OPP
timist has been fulfilled, every qualm
OF the pessimist has been suppressed
and, with scarcely an exception, ev-
cry slur of the detractor has been
overwhelmed. AS an educational
force, as an influence for community
unification and development, and as
means of social uplift, it has proved
to be the biggest thing that the peo-
Jle OF this district have been priv
LEGGED to share.
One OF the most gratifying fea-
lures of the week has been the re-
markable interest displayed by those
residents in the rural districts in the
Chautauqua programs, many appli-
cations for season tickets having
come in from beyond the city limits,
and numerous families having driv-
en- in from considerable distances
day after day; and nothing will per-
haps demonstrate more forcibly the
attitude of the rural population
towards this movement, than the
statement that a large number of
those who have guaranteed the fl
nancial side Of next years gathering
are farmers residing some miles
from the city.
