their pitchers begin to unfold they
have met nothing yet to hold them
back. Both times they cut their way
safely through the American league,
beating Chicago and Detroit almost at

possible to use the terms in this con-
nection, we can say that while nut
ting was our vocation" papaw
hunting was our ''avocation." Our
folks were not at all sorry for our
weekend trips in the woods, for a
dish of papaws always looked appe-
tizing and was welcomed as an alter
nate for squash, turnip and other
common" vegetables.
Papaws are generally classed as a
tropical fruit, but certain species
grow as far west as Kansas and as
far north as Michigan and New York.
AS a garden vegetable papaw is ia
vorite, especially in southern United
States. 1t is not an unpopular fruit
with Missouri folk, where it is COM
monty eaten raw
The species common to Missouri
bears a fruit from two to six inches
long, which is dark brown and highly
aromatic. It's papaw time.

THE VALUE OF PUBLICITY

Every Government Department in
Berlin to Have It's Press Bureau"
says the caption of a recent newspa-
per story. The officially established
organs are designed to bring about
closer collaboration between the gov
ernment and the newspapers of the
empire, according to the article, and,
notwithstanding the new scheme for
the public enlightenment, the press is
still to maintain its right of free judg-
ment. which, it is declared, will be
far greater in the new Germany than
it is today.
1t is to be hoped that the message
containing this information has come
from authentic German sources and
is not merely so-called peace propa-
ganda," for the establishment of
newspapers of this kind to give more
publicity" would have significant
effect upon the German people and
the Imperial government.
Only in the light of publicity can
the people judge the benefcence or
viciousness of proposed legislation
and act intelligently thereon. Secret
diplomacy, a muzzled press and an
ambitious dynasty might be given as
the fundamental causes of the great
conflict which has drawn practically
every country in the world into the
vortex of war.
The penetrating rays of an enlight-
ened press would dispell the shadows
and light the way for the German peo-
pie to a sincere and lasting peace and
a better and greater nation. 1t would
be an important step toward interna-
tionalism-the imperative of world
peace, justice and understanding
which must follow the war.

GOD SPEED THE CONSCRIPT

service He is being trained in the
profession of war, and for a time all
other trades, all other interests must
be thrown aside for the call of

There are those, perhaps, who have
not honored the conscript as they
have honored his brother volunteer.
the name which he bears has had to
them a shameful sound. They have
sometimes argued that he has been
forced into service, and they have said
that he would not make much of a
soldier after all. That is because
they do not know the calibre of this
conscript person. They have not
read the banners he has borne with
him from Boone County. They have
not seen his eager, virile face as the
train bearing him to training has left
Columbia The truth is, they do not
know him at all.
Instead of trying out for high
places in an officers training camp,
he has voluntarily accepted place in
the ranks to serve his country in
whatever way the country shall deem
it best He has left a wife, perhaps,
and children-or a mother. Almost
always he has left a sweetheart be-
hind, and for these dear ones he will
fight. Their faces go with him into
training. They will go with him into
battle.
The conscript is being made ready.
Soon he will go to France. and then
we shall see the mettle of which he
is made God speed the conscript.

IS BUILT IN SECRECY

By Associated Press
LIMA, Ohio, Oct 9.-The first Lib
erty Motor Truck" the product OF the
greatest motor truck distributors of
the country, with parts manufactured
by sixty-two automobile factories in
this country, was completed here yes
terday.
An order for $4,000 of these trucks
has been placed by the Government
for delivery as soon as possible. 1t
is said the truck represents the per-
fection of automobile truck construc-
ton. Its power is obtained from the
new Liberty Motor recently designed
by War Department experts.
The first Liberty truck was built in
the greatest secrecy. There were no
windows in the factory in which it
was constructed, and guards around
the building day and night kept all
strangers away from the grounds. AS
a second precaution, there was as
sembled in an Eastern city an exact
duplicate of the truck built here, du-
plicate parts being sent to a Northern
New York city as rapidly as they
were made use of on the original
truck.
The smaller parts were sent by
parcel post and the larger ones by
express and freight. In this way also
the sixty-two factories supplying
parts for the truck were unable to
attempt a duplication of it.

OBTAINING U. s. AID FOR ROADS

All of the funds which county or
any local subdivision receives either
from the state or federal government
to aid in the building of post roads as
provided for under the Federal Aid
Road Law. comes to it from the state
treasury. The county or district
never deals directly with the federal
government.
Any county, local subdivision there
of. or person interested may have pre-
liminary plans, surveys and estimates
of a proposed public rural post road
made and submit these to the State
Highway Commission. The engineer
of the commission passes upon the
proposed road, and, if he reports sat
isfactorily, the plans are sent to the
Secretary of Agriculture of the Unit
ed States. The bureau in the Depart
ment of Agriculture which has charge
of roads examines the plans and de-
cides whether federal aid shall be
given the project. Then, if this bureau
finds the plans satisfactory, and finds
the state or county or local subdi-
vision has its so per cent of the mon
ey ready, the money is paid to the
state treasurer. When the state finds
that the work on the road is pro-
crossing according to original plans
and estimates, it pays the money over
to the county or district building the
road.
The county, to build a road, first
has to raise so per cent of the esti-
mated cost of the road. This it does
either by levying the road tax of %
cents on the S100 or, since this rarely
gives enough to pay half the cost, by
voting bonds or benefit assessment.
In the case of bonds, the county must
also levy the tax, for the state law
says that no federal aid shall be
given until the maximum road tax
has been levied. Local districts have
to raise the money by local assess
ment or taxation.
Up to the present time, only two
counties in Missouri have claimed
federal aid. For the present no harm
is done by not claiming this money,
since it merely accrues, awaiting pay
ment of what is due since the passage
of the measure. But after three years
from the time of passage of the fed
eral bill, the state forfeits any money
it has failed to take advantage of and
from that time on receives only the
amount set aside for the last two
years of the five. If Missouri is to
obtain the federal aid appropriated
for her, it is up to the counties to
take immediate action, to wake up
and decide they are going to rebuild
those old worn-out roads and to raise |
the money to work with.

FOOD PRICES DOUBLE THERE
Three Main Causes Of Advance In
Great Britain.

Three Main Causes Of Advance In
Great Britain.
By Associated Press
LONDON, Oct 9.-The retail cost of
food in the United Kingdom has more
than doubled since the beginning Of
the war. Some of the causes of this
increase are given as follows:
The high prices charged in countries
from which imports of foods are OBJ
tanned, owing in large measure to
either exceptional demand or general
shortage in supply. These high
prices are outside the control of hcme
government
The rise in price due to imitation,
which may occur either directly
through the additional extent to which
credit is increased, when loans are
raised, and the government which
bOrrows is a large spender
The high freight rates on the At
lantic routes, the great increase in
war-risk insurance, and the difference
in rates of exchange.

The price of cigarettes went up in

result of the tobacco section of the

liquor, tobacco and other commodities.
The dealers who raised the price of
cigarettes yesterday said that they have
been selling them at loss for the last
few days. The tax on a thousand
cigarettes is so cents, providing the
