Japanese Banquet for State
Editors.

A "Made-in-Japan" banquet.
where Oriental splendor will mix
with American conservatism
will bring to a close the 1917
Journalism Week, to be held
May Z to IL at Columbia by the
School of Journalism of the
University Of Missouri. The
idea is receiving the hearty
support of Japanese statesmen,
especially Viscount Motono,,
minister of foreign affairs. Wis
count Koneko, president of the
Americas Friend Societies, is
also actively interested in the
plan.
"The Made-in-Japan' banquet
as planned by the School of
Journalism is probably the first
of its kind in the United States"
Dean Walter Williams says.
"The menu, as far as practic-
able, will be Japanese-grown
products. Souvenirs typical of
the industries and exports of
Japan will be distributed to the
visiting journalists"
A japanese decorator will
come from Toxic or New York
to superintend the decorations.
Two Japanese steamship lines,
the Togo Kisen Kaisha and the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, have
agreed to give precedence to
the shipments of souvenirs over
all other articles.
The movement is meeting with
the Endorsement of the Japan
csc government, and they are
realizing that the publicity OBJ
tanned from the banquet will be
of much force in cementing the
friendship of the two countries
according to Oscar E. Riley of
the Japan Advertiser of Toxic,
a graduate of the School of
Journalism, who is acting as its
representative in Japan in max
ing the arrangements.

FIND SUCCESS IN
ORCHARD
Working on Borrowed Capital
They Made so Per Cent
First Yer.


Borrowing the capital and
renting an old worthless" pear
and apple orchard of ninety-five
acres, fourteen miles south of
Kansas City, two graduates of
the College Of Agriculture of
the University of Missouri,
Ben Colman and Paul H. Shep-
ard, both of the class of 1916,
began the application of the
theories which had been given
them in their college course.
The orchard was from twelve to
twenty years old and the crop
had not sold for enough for
several years to pay taxes on
the land.
When they took charge of the
orchard, after leasing it for five
years on a cash rent basis, they
began to spray and prune the
trees. The trees were sprayed
four times during the season.
Because of a lack of capital they
were unable to spray the whole
orchard. They later found that
the sprayed trees produced the
best apples while the unsprayed
ones bore fruit that was not
worth the plucking. Then be-
gan the culling out on the trees
before the apples were ripe. The
clusters were cut to one apple
and quality rather than quanti-
ty was sought.
Apple buyers learned of this
and the crop was disposed of
easily. The young men kept
books on all their operations
placing their orchard on a bust
ness basis. At the end of the
season they had made so per
cent on their operating capital
and 10 per cent on the capital
invested in the farm, orchard,
operating expenses and equip
ment.
In addition to this they ex-

"BACK-LOT" GARDENS
ARE EDUCATIONAL
II. F. Major Advocates Their
Use in Nature Study
CnIIrSac

SOAA9N9a
The "back-lot" garden as a
means of education in the gram
mar schools as we'll as being a
means Of reducing the high cost
of food and increasing its sup
ply is advocated by Horace F..
Major, assistant professor of
gardening and superintendent of
grounds of the University of
Missouri.
Gardening should be en-
bodied in nature study in
Schools" Mr.. Major says, at is
a sure way to develop powers of
observation, regularity of habit,
responsibility, and provide ex-
ercise and profitable recreation.
The plan of gardens on vacant
lots for school children also has
its difficulties"
Here are some of the Difficult
ties Mr.. Major enumerates: i,
A strong organization of in
Auential citizens must back the
movement with enthusiasm
and hard work and guarantee
the initial cost of seeds, tools
and other accessories.
The obtaining of a sufficient
number of vacant lots access
ible to the children is difficult.
These lots are few and a prom
Use of their use for any definite
length of time is difficult to OBJ
tain.
A well trained supervisor of
gardens is absolutely necessary.
He must keep the children inter
ested in according to their indiv-
idual characteristics. A 14-year-
old boy will not be willing to
work a 4-foot plot with the
same enthusiasm exhibited by
his 6-year old brother. A child
whose natural inclination is to-
ward mechanics cannot be
stuck in a lot and told to raise
potatoes. He must be coaxed
and guided, so that he will take
pleasure in the work.

TO THE CITIZENS AND TAXPAY-
Frs OF THE CITY OF LEXING-
TON, MISSOURI.

On and after April /, 1917, the City
of Lexington will allow and pay claims
against it in accordance with Section
1922 of the Revised Statutes of the
State of Missouri, which prvoides as
follows:
"No check shall be drawn upon the
City depository by the treasurer,
except upon a warrant signed by
the mayor and attested by the
clerk. No warrant shall be drawn
upon the treasurer nor shall any
ordinance be passed appropriating
money, unless there be an unex-
pended balance to the credit of the
City in the fund upon which such
warrant is drawn to meet such war
rant, or a sufficient sum of unap-
propriated money in the fund upon
which such ordinance is drawn to
meet such ordinance"
The law of the State of Missouri
further provides that current expen-
ses of Cities of the Third Glass must
be paid out of it's current income, and
on and after April /, 1917, claims
against the City of Lexington, which
accrue after said date, will be paid
out of the revenue collected during
the year 1917, and no part of the rev.
enue of said City collected after
said date will be applied on the
outstanding indebtedness, now exist
ing, against this City unless there be
an unapprOpriated balance on hand in
the City Treasury at the end of the
fiscal year of this City beginning
April /, 1917.
| have taken this position for the
following reasons:
First: Because the Statutes and
laws of this State provide that Cities
of the Third Glass shall conduct the
financial affairs of such Cities as set
forth above.
Second: Because under the system
now employed in handling the finances
of this City the taxpayer is receiv-
ing $1.00 in return for $1.30 expend-
ed on public improvements.
Third: Because under the present
system the employees of this City re-
ceive only seventy cents on the dol
lar for services rendered, if they de-
pend upon such wages for their sup
port and maintenance.
Therefore with the cooperation OF
the citizens and taxpayers of this
City we will be able to solve the
problem Of paying off an outstanding
Indebtedness against this City aggre-
eating nearly $SO,0OO.00.
1t is the intention not to repudiatC
any just debts or claims not paid al
this time.
1t is my sincere belief that to pay
off our indebtedness we must frs
comply with the law of this Stat
which in itself will place this City Of
a cash basis on and after April !
1917.
