HOW ONE WOMAN IS
AIDING MR.. HOOVER
Elderberries, Nuts and Pa
paws Gathered in Colum-
bias BACKYARD"
WITHIN HALF A MILE
She Puts Up Ten Quarts of
Berries-Make Good
Pies, She Says.

Ten quarts of elder berries, all
gathered near here, were put up by
one Industrious Columbia woman this
week. This same woman gathered
four bushels of walnuts, some butter
nuts. hickory nuts and papaws.
Herbert Hoover, food conservator,
has told and is telling repeatedly to
the people of the United States that
the food of this country must be con-
served if the United States is to win
the war. The people of Columbia are
missing this chance to serve their
country and at the same time to gain
something for themselves, says this
woman.
'One has but to walk a mile out of
the city to see trees full of walnuts
and hickory nuts and to be got only
for the picking" she says. Elder
berries grow close to the waters edge,
for example, near McBaine, and else
where there are an abundance of them.
Only three miles out of Columbia

that Missouri men who have not regis

Regulars, National Guardsmen and
New conscrfpted Men to Form Great
Force For Service Abroad.
An American army of one million
men for service abroad at once, In.
stead Of tho 100000 contemplated for
the first draft Is foreshadowed by. the
governments request for nm additional
$6,O00,0o0,000 made TO tho senate IL.
nance committee.
Tho first million men are to be made
up or the first draft army of 10000,
the national guard and tho, regulars.
1t Is improbable that the first draft
VIII be increased, but the government
Is arranging its finances for other
drafts without the necessity of going
TO congress again for money.
New estimates for 5000. 600 900 FOR
war expenses held up the war tax bill
Just as 1t was about to be reported TO
the senate by the finance committee,
Secretary NcAdoo told the commit
tee that the war and navy departments
had notified him they would need that
great sum In addition to the money
already provided and he asked that the
Dill be held up while II was determined
"hcn the money would be spent and
now - should be raised Mr.. McAdoo
said he did not discuss details with
the committee.
1t was learned unomciaFy that ,,ne
plan under consideration Is to raise
billion dollars moro than the bill
now provides by taxation and to au.
thorize tho government to make new
loan Of $4,000. 600 600.
Whether the loan would b. in the
form OF new bonds or short torn cor
t1ficatos has not been determined nor
has tho rate of interest.
The new taxes prob bly, WILL he rails
ed from excess profits, estates and in.
come taxes.
Until the war and navy estimates
are complete 1t is impossible to say
when the greatest reven:,e RAISING
measure ever considered by the gov.
eminent will go forward.
After hearing Secretary McAdoo the
committee agreed, to hold up the bill
until the new war estimates are re.
ceived.
Secretary McAdoo, committee Nom
Ders stated, told the finance commit
tee that 1t was estimated that an adj
dftional credit of $2,00o,000 900 to be
loaned to the allies also would be re-
quested.
In addition to the war and navy es
Inmates, members Of the senate appro
priations committee said the shipping
board already submitted estimates for
additional appropriations of $500000,.
900. For the board $S00,000,000 al
ready has been authorized.
Estimates for revenues in the war
tax bill provide only for the first 500.
600 men for eight months beginning
July I. The new estimates are design.
ed to provide for the first army of half
million for an entire year and in
addition, for twelve months expendi

600 men, because 1t would. be neces.
sary to buy their equipment before or
soon after they are drafted.

DID HE MAKE A MISTAKE?

President Woodrow Wilson has
taken drastic action in the shipping
row which has been raging for sew
eral weeks as to whether permanent
steel vessels should be built or tom
porary wooden ones should be con-
structed and put into service. Presi-
dent Wilson showed rare Judgment in
securing a great engineer in the per-
son of Major General George w.
Cocktails, to take charge Of the ship
building programme. He has tho
Roosevelt 90. X" and he is known
all over the civilized world as a per-
son who knows how and will edo
things"
He built the Panama Canal or
rather superintended the building Of
it, bringing order out of confusion.
He Is a man used to military service
and he brooks no interference with
his plans, being responsible only to
the appointing power. Just why
such man should have been coupled
up with a political combination or
with civilian committee will always
remain an open question. 1t would
have been just as sensible to harness
a Woodworking gentle horse with a
baTky one. We do not know tho
Gins and outs of the situation
President Wilson may be better in
formed.
1t may be that he has "cut the
Gordian knot" the effect OF which
will produce results. We admit that
we cannot understand it. Major
George w. Cocktails, in our judg-
mont should have been given free
hand. He will not risk his reputa-
ton in a questionable enterprise and
above all, the people of the country
have confidence in him.
When President Wilson accepted
his resignation and then asked for
the resignation of Hon. William Don.

he emphasized in clarion tones the
difference between the two men, One
