PREDICTS NEW ERA
IN ROAD BUILDING
Kansas City Times Heralds
Meeting Here October E
as Beginning.
URGES COOPERATION
Missouri Must Keep Pace
With Other States, Ed
itOrial SAYS.

Under the heading Let Old Trails
Counties Lead" the Kansas City Times
of yesterday morning says editorially:
'The Old Trails meeting at Colum-
bia, Mo-, October 6, ought to be the
beginning of the new era in road build
ing for Missouri The proper en-
thusiasm on the part of the county
representatives who will meet there
would guarantee the completion of
great transcontinental road system.
"The road now is in good shape
from the Atlantic Coast through Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois already have TAX
en- up the plan of completing it through
those states with government aid
Missouri cannot afford the sort of ad-
vertising that would come if the road
should end at the Mississippi River. A
reputation for mud roads doesn't help
a state with outsiders.
''The counties through which the
Old Trails route passes are rich. They
can amply afford to do their share,
especially when they are to get the
roads at half price. The Columbia
conference next week will give the op-
portunity for concerted action that
ought to result in a wonderful good
roads movement for Missouri.
How many other Missouri coun-
ties would be stimulated to take ad-
vantage of the governments offer in
road building if the Old Trails coun-
ties would only lead the way!"

Groves May Be
Assistant Coach.

]. L. Groves, Jr., Tiger M man
for three years, all-valley tackle and
a player whose presence on the foot
ball team last year was one reason for
the defeat of Kansas, will very likely
be the assistant coach during the ap-
preaching season. He has been rec
commended by Schultz and it is under
stood that Athletic Director Meanwell
will approve the recommendation. 1t
has always been customary to have
some old student who starred in Tiger
football work during his college ca
reer help the chief coach in coaching
the newer men of the team, and this
position in the past has been held by
Ted" Hackney, Chuck" Wilson,
Charley" Woody and other well
known players. Groves played tackle
on the team for three years and was
acting captain during many of last
seasons games.

HIS CATTLE TOP THE MARKET
St Louis Stock Paper Comments on
j. w. kemper's Shipment,

]. W. Kemper, who deserves a great
deal of credit for his cattle operations
in Boone County, sent in a four
car string of steers today, comprising
81 head that averaged 1854 pounds
and sold at $3.50, which is the high
est price that many cattle brought
here today, says the St. Louis Live
Stock Register. They were pur-
chased in the country from one of
their prominent feeders and displayed
all the marks of a well-cared for
string of stuff. Mr.. Kemper stated
that quite bunch of cattle were 60
ing to Boone county pastures and was
of the belief that there would be
more feeding done in that section
than many stockmen predicted a little
earlier in the season. The good pros
poets for corn was given for his rea-
son for this belief

date of this most important confer
ence struggle is October Is, and
judging from last years results, il
Missouri passes this date with a sue
cessful game to her credit, the school
should end up on the first division
side of the valley race, at least. But,
with almost a month, Coach Schultz
is hopeful for his team and it is be-
lieved that the team which nearly put
Missouri out of the race last year
will find it no easy task to defeat the
Tigers on their own field.

Basketball Captain
Returns to School.

Campbell, captain of the 1918 Tiger
basketball team, was the first basket
ball man to return to Columbia
Mule" got in yesterday and reported
to Director Meanwell at once to talk
over prospects for the season. There
is possibility that Craig Ruby, cap
tain of the Tiger freshman basketball
team in 1916, will return to Colum-
bia. Ruby has made several inquiries
regarding work and it is believed
will be here when school opens next
week.

SPORT

For few minutes yesterday after
noon Captain Paul A Hamilton, who
will lead the Tiger football team this
season, thought that he had received
a prophecy of victory for his forces
during the fall season. Sitting in the
yard of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity
house, he picked twelve four-leaf clo-
vers in about twice that many min
utes. So well pleased with his find
was Hamilton, that he called up Bill"
Rider, another veteran Tiger, and
they went out on Rollins Field for
a short practice tossing the ball. Be-
tween the Delta Tau house and the
field, or somewhere on the field, the
Tiger captain lost his watch, two gold
footballs and a medal won by his
brother, Brutus Hamilton, for taking
first place in the high jump event last
High School Day in Columbia. After
an hours search this morning Ham
ilton had not found any of his lost
valuables and was wondering if the
four-leaf clovers. followed by the loss
of the captains gold footballs, might
possibly have any bearing on the
coming football season. 1t was sug-
gested to him that the prophecy, if
prophecy there was, might be for
promising appearing team with fail
ure in the end.
But, whether there be prophecy in
what happened to the captain of the
Tigers or not, there is every chance
this year for a first-class valley team
at the University of Missouri There
is hardly a school in the valley that
can boast of an entire veteran back
field and, with more prospective foot
ball men returning every day, the ap-
parent chances in the valley cham
pionship race for the Tigers certain
ly does not look as bad as it has in
many seasons past. While Hamilton
is possibly the only veteran linesman,
who is sure to be in school, there
have been persistent rumors that
'Heinie' Bass will return, and there
are enough of the freshmen and sub
stitutes of last year to give the squad |
that will appear on Rollins Field next |
Monday the appearance of real vet
eran lineup the first day. Bondurant,
a tackle from William Jewell, has en-
tered up; Whittenberg, a successful |
tackle last year, will be here just as
soon as his October wheat crop is
in; and CHUCK" Wilson, one of Coach
John Miller's most promising half
backs last year, has been refused ad-
mission to the ST. Louis Base Hos
pital Unit because of fiat feet, so he
has sent in his application for regis
tration.

Washington L. WIZ nave
A Team This Year,

There has been some doubt as to
whether or not Washington Univers-
ity of st. Louis would remain in the
valley football schedules, but all doubt
of this possibility was dispelled by
Athletic Director Meanwell this morn
ing. Director Meanwell says that he
has definite information that the
Piker school will remain in and that
so far as he knows there will be no
change in the original schedule as an
nounced last week.

wells desk this morning-it probably
was only a tentative list, but never
theless shows what sort of material
will be out for football-was a Tiger
lineup, complete, except for the two
guards and one tackle position. The
lineup shows that Tiny" Stevens
who made good in several tryouts at
quarter last year, may be a regular
this year; that C. H. Slusher, who is
to be baseball captain this year, will
be tried at end, and that Whittenberg
will be given a good workout for a
place on the team as tackle. The in
complete lineup follows:

Nifty cowardice. That VIC night be re-
strained by feelings OF charity Tor Il weak
and ignorant people owning a rich country
adjacent TO our own may have occurred
to the Germans, but, if so, attributing their
" motives TO Us, they rejected it as in
credible. That we neglected this %unrival-
ed opportunity to conquer and despoil the
Mexicans could prove nothing else TO the
German mind than that we had lost the
Ihardihood and courage necessary for war,
Perhaps the unhappy phrase which the
president used in a speech at Philadelphia
early in the war confirmed this opinion to
the minds of the Germans.
The other premises of the argument by
which the German government convinced
itself that il had nothing TO fear from ~
related to politics. Ii felt that il could
safely rely on the ballots of ~German-Amer-
leans to intimidate any temptation those
in power might come under To resent any
Injuries Germany should see ft To lnfllct
on Us. Germany's argument was, In fine,
that under the combined restraint Of our
abhorrtnce of wal and the political
threats of COMMUNICATIONS, we should
be submissive To any ~indignity which the
policy of military necessity might require
it TO impose. Whether, if ii has felt that
there was "A limit To our patience, Germany
would have pursued the same course TO-
ward Us may be questionable. But il car
hardly be doubted that one of the contrib
uting causes bringing u into this war has
been the activities of the pacifists and Ger
man Americans. They nave confirmed
Germany in the fatal delusion it fell into
with respect To the character and spirit
of the United States.
Instead Of contemplating our action with
the complacency which il affects, w may
be sure Germany has suffered a disillus-
ionment which shocks il 10 almost Il depth
of despair.

Question: (which j. the peanut vege-
table or a nut?" The Herald answers that
all, but a vegetable; that 10 cents worth
of peanuts nave been authoritatively de
clared superior in nutriment To 20 cents
worth of porterhouse steak, 81 cents
worth of potatoes, and that employees OF
the chemistry bureau of the United States
department of agriculture are now engag-
ed in research experiments leading to tn,
production of a peanut meal that will re-
suit in peanut bread better than wheat
bread and cheaper. Ii j. pointed out thai
the peanut steadily j. rising in vegetable
and economic society.
In 1908 the peanut yield of the United
States amounted to but ~12 1000, 000. A
conservative valuation of the 1916 peanut
yield Is $4,000. All sorts of southern
lands. once solely devoted to cotton, now
are employed for the cultivation Of pea.
nuts, POO, 900 acres this year being planted
to peanuts in Texas alone.
Representatives of the United States bu-
reau of plant industry recently reported
following a tour Of the several peanut
growing districts that this years croI
probably will approximate 50,250,O0'
bushels, selling for Sl.10 a bushel. Quite .
contrast from the report of 1914, which
