Track Men Work Daily;
POle.yaulter Is Needed.

Tiger track men are working out
every afternoon to get into condition
for the indoor meets this winter Be-
sides the regular annual indoor meet
with Kansas in Kansas City, the Ii
gers will take part in the X. C. A. c.
meet to be held there. 1t is not GER
tain yet whether the Missouri Ath-
letic Association of st. Louis will
have a meet this year, but if it does
Missouri will have a team entered.
Coach Schultz has thus far spent
most of the time gradually getting
the men into shape. 1t is too early
to give the men hard work. The
quarter-mile and distance men have
been taking short runs with lots of
jogging. Daggy, Wyatt and Pittam of
last years relay team are out every
day and with the addition of Selbie
and several other sophomOres the
team should be hard to beat this year.
Missouri will be lamentably weak in
pOle-vaulters. In past years such men
as Floyd and Powell have always
brought home firsts, but there seems
to be no one to take their places now.
Several men have been working daily
at the gymnasium on pole-vaulting,
but little promise has been shown so
far.
The first indoor meet in which any
Missouri Valley school will take part
will be the Kansas-Kansas Normal
meet at Lawrence on Monday, January
20. Kansas also has it's annual meet
with the Kansas Aggies at Lawrence
February 80.

The Lee School.

graded and additional apparatus SCI
in place according to plans drawn by
c. L. Brewer Plans for obtaining a
playground instructor from the School
of Education are being considered
Bulbs and shrubs have also been pur-
chased by the mothers club and set
out in the school grounds. They will
be cared for by the children them
selves.
Mothers Club Raises 500.
Since its organization four years
ago, the club has raised 5000 for play
ground equipment and the beautifica-
tion of the school rooms. Hangings
and pictures for the new school addi-
tion will be purchased soon. The
club has seventy-five members with
an average attendance of fifty. The
officers are: President, Mrs. c. l..
Brewer: vice-president, Mrs. ]. A.
Gibson: secretary, Mrs. Wayne Allen;
treasurer. Mrs. I. o. Hockaday.
This organization, in carrying out
its plan for education outside of the
schoolroom, is responsible for the
present "better movie" campaign, ac-
cording to Mrs. c. L. Brewer. The
club was instrumental in bringing the
first childrens' picture, rip Van
Wrinkle" to Columbia. Other organi-
cations in Columbia have since taken
up the idea.
Lee school teachers believe in the
sugar-coated pill and have arranged
some of the studies so that the pupils
may assimilate knowledge in their
play. Historical incidents, costumes
and manners are impressed on the
minds of the "fifth-graders" in the
manufacture of posters and illustrated
booklets. The sixth grade in study
ing the life and history of the Puri-
tans constructed a relief map of sew
eral scenes in the story of Miles STAN
dish and later gave a play based on
the same subject. The seventh grade
won school honors last year by writ
ing and illustrating eight booklets
dealing with China. These were ex-
hibited by Miss Ella v Dobbs. of the
home economics department of the
University. at the San Francisco Ex-
position. Each book was made by five
pupils and was illustrated in colors
with hand-lettered iyleaves. The il
Illustrations and lettering would have
done justice to the work of more ex-
perienced persons.

open up early this year as I can for
the purpose of helping my customers
out.
The weather is getting dry now,
the sun is getting hot, and when it
gets this way it is much harder for
tobacco to live. I find from hoeing
today that the ground still has plenty
of moisture left. If your plants are
getting overgrown do not wait on
rain, get you up six or eight flour
barrels of any kind, put them in
water and let them swell, until you
come home at noon for dinner; then
you get ready to go back to the field
let your plowmen place these barrels
on wagon fill them with water, and
place them along in your field-you
will find that you can set out an
acre or two each afternoon until you
are through. If you knew when it
would rain why you would know what
to do, but inasmuch as you are not
running the weather end of it, it is
up to you to look out for yourself.
Now about the transplanting Of
your tobacco: you must first make
hole in your beds about two and
one-half feet apart, make these holes
with your hand or hoe handle or
something larger If necessary, you
can be your own judge about this.
After the hole is made place your
plant in and then pour water around
it washing the dirt down to the roots
as you will see, after this is done and
you have placed good many plants
in this way let somone cover the wet
place up and bring the outside leaves
of your plants up over the buds good
to protect them from the sun, you
will find if you follow this rule and
plant good strong plants and put them
down good that you will get large
per cent of your tobacco to live; sup
pose you do lose some, isn't this bet
ter than to wait too late?
l am writing this mostly for mex
perienced planters, and at the same
time if l hit any Of the old fellows
l hope it will be hard enough to do
them some good too. I am not writ
ing this just because I haven't any
thing else to do. I am trying to help
the boys to succeed. Tobacco usually

Editor Manning Times:

Editor Manning Times:
I have been hoeing in my garden
all the morning, fighting nut grass,
and wiping perspiration. I am try
ing to do what the great heads Of
the State and Nation have recently
said we must do to make something
to eat. If every bunch Of nut grass
that l slew this morning had been a
German soldier, Uncle Sam and his
Allies could put their swords in their
sheaths call their soldiers in from the
fields of battle, and then beat their
| swords into plow shares and their
spears into pruning hooks, and then
declare that we will fight Germans no
more.
do not know Of anything quite so
hard to kill or conquer as this terri
Bile enemy, nut grass; unless it be
the German Kaiser and his bunch Of
war devils. If being good fighter
of nut grass is any sign must be
thoroughly qualified to go over and
lick at least ten Germans. l believe
l could make Won Hindenberg sit up
and take notice. So much for the nut

To the tobacco growers of this
County: l am reminded today that
April is getting far spent; am re-
minded that the good old summer time
will soon be here; am reminded that
times are hard and that money is
scarce in this county; am reminded
that now is the time to be up and
doing what we, can to keep the wolf
from our doors later on; I am re-
minded of the fact that the farmers
that get hustle on and get their
tobacco out in good time will be the
farmers that will reap an early har-
vest: These will be the boys that
will have early money, which you all
stand so much in need of. 1t don't
take long after you get your tobacco
out to turn it into money. Those of
you who get it out early will begin to
lcure early in July or even the last of
