"a man and his prOmise-a woman
and intrigue-are one" If a novel
may have a text, these words will
answer for that of Talbot Munday's
King of the khyber Rifles" The
war is again the inspiration for a
novel, this time written about India
and its people. Love, military in
trigue, action, personality and plot
are worked together in this story as
only Mundy can weave complexity
into unity.
The book is plea for India. THE
men who know answer that she is
the original home of chivalry and the
modern mistress of as many decent,
gallant, native gentlemen as ever
graced page of history"
The book is not heavy; yet it is
literary. 1t is not light; yet it is
easy to read. 1t is typical modern
novel"

"The CaStawayS."

W. W. Jacobs has a flavor of his
own. Lovers of his humor will ac-
cept no substitute, and in "The Cast
aways" he has served up a literary
dish with familiar and most excellent
seasoning. 1t is the story of bank
clerk who falls first into a fortune
and then into many adventures-not
the least of them love affair with
his best friends dearest enemy-fol-
low plot and counter-plot, alarms and
surprises.
There is jolly old lady in the
book, butler, chauffeur and a maid
whose conversational encounters
strike the high-water mark in Jacobs
funniness, and any number of anus
ing persons. The authors fair for
genuinely comic dialogue has not be-
come less keen since his "Odd Craft
and other stOries-it is laid on in
THE Castaways" with skillfuf
trowel. Add to this a mock mutiny
on shipboard to show up a pretended
hero, and the plot curdles. The au-
thor juggles his characters all over
the ship, keeping them up in the air
till the final chapter-when, be it
said, he lets them down easy, after
all.
One more happy thought: W. w.
Jacobs can be human without being
realistic. For this relief, much
thanks"

along the Mississippi to Marion Coun-
ty the total varied between one and
two inches, the remainder of the state
received little under one inch. There
now is ample moisture in the soil for
present needs, and the only things
needed for satisfactory growth are
warmth and sunshine. Some few To-
calities are little too wet but gener-
ally the ground is in fine working con-
dition.
Corn planting, and replanting, is
practically completed, save in a few
localities here and there. it is ger
minating well; much is up, and has
been cultivated once, particularly in
the southwestern counties. The
weather, however, is still too cool, es-
pecially the nights, for rapid growth.
Wheat has made steady improve
ment, and the prospects are much i'm
proved over the outlook reported thir-
ty days previously; it is beginning to
head nicely as far north as Franklin
County.
"Oats are making fair growth; in
the counties from Jackson to Buchan-
an County the average height is about
six inches. All grasses are making
good growth, except some meadows
are rather poor and backward. AL
falfa is unusually promising; and the
first cutting is in progress, or nearly
so, as far north as Buchanan County.
"The potato outlook is very prom
ising; and other truck is coming on
well, but warmth and sunshine are
greatly needed. In Scott County. the
watermelon district, the melon area
has been reduced one-half, owing to
wilt and prospect of car shortage. To
Offset this, the largest crop of navy
beans ever grown in that section is
being planted. The Missouri straw
berry is going to market; the crop is
somewhat less than that of last year.
Cattle are beginning to take on flesh
and are looking well.
THE advancement of farm opera
tions and vegetable growth, for the
state as whole, compared with the
twenty-year average is somewhat
backward"

COMMENCEMENT WEEK

The war crisis of the United States
has enhanced the seriousness OF
commencement week. 1t has made il
a week of deep purpose and firm re-
solve, taken from it the air of gaiety
and added simplicity.
Commencement Week at the Univer-
sity of Missouri will be simple in its
nature. Glasses will assemble for
reunions but the remaining exercises
will be plain in their nature.
The graduates of 1867 will come to
view the students of the University
who are taking up their life's tasks
and to revive the memories of grad
uation many years ago.
And the graduates-some will soon
be in France aiding the wounded. 9TH
ers will be in different branches of
the army and navy, still more will
find their "bit" in a varied field of oc-
cupation. The University of Missouri
will release its graduating class and
commend it to its duty to country and
humanity.
1t will be commencement week in
its fullest sense-a commencement in
life when the nation most needs it's
every man and woman in the work of
maintaining its position in the
world and in assisting in the fur
therance of those principles of democ-
racy for which it has stood and does
now stand.

ONE GRIEVANCE GOING

Before this war the president of
the American Federation of Labor,
Samuel Gompers, was very much in
terested in the question of the Japan
ese and union labor. 1t was thought
quite probable that Gompers would
go to Japan to help organize labor
there and to bring about friendly re-
lations between the labor organiza-
tions of the two countries. But the
war put an end to that.
Meanwhile, a rather significant fact
is coming to light. The japanese in
this country are joining labor unions
and are hot undertaking the Amer
ican laboring man. With this is lost
the great grievance that existed in
this country against the Japanese. 1t
was the fact that the Japanese work
1ngman was displacing the American
laborer that caused the race troubles
in this country and resulted in state
laws discriminating against them
Now that the Japanese are realizing
that labor in order to raise condi-
tions and wages for all must unite
and bargain collectively, the discrim-
mating laws should be repealed. They
were unjust in the first place, though
1t is easy to see how the American
laborer could act so unfairly w6SH
his bread was endangered.

Appeals TO The Farmers
BY WOODROW WILSON.

L take the nDerty, therefore, Oi
addressing this word to the farmers
of the country and to all who work
on the farms The supreme need
of our own nation and of the ma
tons with which we are co-opera-
ting is an abundance of supplies,
and especially of foodstutfs. The
Importance of an adequate food
supply, especially for the present
year, is superlative. Without
abundant food, alike for The az
mics and the peoples now at war,
the whole great enterprise upon
which we have embarked will
break down and fall. The worlds
food reserves are low. Not only
during the present emergency, but
for some time after peace shall
have come both our own people
and large proportions of the peo-
pie of Europe must rely upon the
harvests in America. Upon the
farmers of this country, therefore,
in large measure, rests the fate OF
the war and the fate of the ma
tions. May the nation not count
upon them to omit no step that
will increase the production of
their land or that will bring about
the most effectual cooperation in
the sale and distribution of their
products? The time is short. 1t
is of the most imperative impor-
lance that everything possible be
done and done Immediately to
make sure of large harvest. l call
upon young men and old alike and
upon the able bodied boys of the
land to accept and act upon this
duty-to turn in hosts to the farms
and make certain that no pains
and no labor is lacking in this
great matter.
particularly appeal to the farm
ers of the South to plant abundant
foodstutfs as well as cotton. They
can show their patriotism in nc
better or more convincing way
than by resisting the great tempta-
ton of the present price of cotton
and helping, helping upon a great
scale, to feed the nation and the
peoples everywhere who are fight
ing for their liberties and for our
own. The variety of their crops
will be the visible measure of their
comprehension of their national
duty.
