THE POWER OF Truth

The Rev. ]. p. Brushingham. pas
tor OF the South Park Methodist
Episcopal church. says
The presentation OF this picture
will do more for the cause OF NOR
ality than all the reports ever filed.
It is hard to conceive OF any man
leading a girl into wrongdoing after
watching the inexorable working out
OF the moral law as shown on the
screen. It is impossible that any
girl should open the door to des-
truction after having been shown so
vividly what lies beyond. The pic
ture has the fascination OF great
play and the sledge hammer power
OF truth"

FORWARD, MARCH

Whether at peace of at war, it is a
nations duty to progress. Though in
volved in the throes of dreadful war
the United States is steadily moving
upward and onward. Its colleges are
in session, its mills and factories are
in operation, its youth are in training
in the cantonments of the country,
making of themselves more stalwart
citizens.
Through the training of its young
men, untold good is being done the
United States. In other ways. too, the
war has its ensations-Ameri-
cans are purging themselves of the
stigma of wastfulness and extrava-
gance. they have been taught lessons
in efficiency and economy, they re-
learned the meaning of democracy.
Should fate decree that thousands
of American boys lay down their lives
on foreign soil the sacrifice will be
made unfiinchingly. The progress of
the world must not be stopped; the
challenge to democracy must 5e COM

SOME KNIT FOR SAMMIES,
OTHERS FOR THEMSELVES

And you shall know them by the
things they knit and by the bags they
carry-they all carry bags. One girl,
swinging a Red Cross" bag, hurried
into a chorus class the other after
noon, quickly found her seat and
brought to view an unfinished tan
scarf, obviously meant for someone
"over there" Strolled in later a stu
dent with a huge cretonne bag only
half concealing a gay sport sweater
that was to be finished for use on the
golf links next spring-her own use.
At some of the sorority houses the
girls knit, rather than sing or talk, be-
tween courses. One might emulate
them and even manage a pair of
needles and bit of yarn while wait
ing in line at the cafeteria. That
could hardly be more difficult of ac-
complishment than to knit while stroll
ling down the street or when riding in

the rear seat of touring car.
The more proficient knitters have
learned the touch system of knitting
as it were, and accomplish great deal
of purling or overcasting in dark
picture shows, especially at those
"just a moment" times when the
operator adjusts the film.
Possibly knitting parties will come
to be the vogue in Columbia this
winter. If so, one wonders whether
the knitting will increase the amount
and accelerate the speedy distribution
of gossip among those present or
whether the terrible fear of dropping
stitches will make them tactiturn.
However that may be, a new and
serious stiffness has settled over the
women's parlors at the University
these days Like Mary's little lamb,
her knitting goes everywhere that
Mary goes; but whereas the poor lamb
was sent home from school. Mary's
knitting comes to stay.

COUNTY FAIR LOSES MONEY
Good Exhibits But Cold Weather At.
fects Attendance.

The Boone County Fair failed to
clear expenses.
THE gate receipts" said L. d. Shobe
treasurer of the fair board, were not
as much for the whole four days as
the gate-money for our best single day
last year. Bad weather kept the peo-
pie away"
Although the fair this year was fl
naucially unsuccessful, 1t surpassed
preceding fairs here in the exhibit of
poultry, in the quality of entries of
the boys and girls clubs and in the
number and quality of mule colts, be-
sides being up to standard in other
departments.
This was the first Boone County
Fair" explained r. l.. Hill, secretary
of the fair board, "of all the twenty
held to be given so late. The preced-
ing ones were held in the first part
of August. We set the date for the
fair late this time in order not to
conflict with fairs elsewhere but un-
fortunately a cold spell hit us.
c. ]. Irvine of Marshall, Mo-, won
first premium in the $500 mule colt
show. The prize was $1O0. The sec
ond prize, $3.50, went to Column

men who won money with their mule

mules came from Columbia. Colts
were entered from every section of

money for the premiums.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD
Optimistic Report Issued by the State
Board Of Agriculture.

At the end of the growing season
the agricultural situation is found TO
be the best of the year, showing i'm
proyement in corn, enlarged acreage
of wheat planting, and increased sup
plies of both food and forage to help
win the war, according to the OIL
cial crop report issued Saturday by
the Missouri State Board Of Agricul-
ture.
Corn presents final preliminary
average of SO bushels per acre, or T.
9OO. 900 acres with 2S4,000,000 bush
els.
Conditions, measured by 529 official
crop reporters sending in statistics, in
dicate that more wheat is sown and
being sown in the cornfelds than ey-
er before in the history of this state.
The acreage of wheat being planted
increases, although dry weather,
scarcity of farm labor, and high
prices of seed wheat and day wages,
tend to delay and hold down the total
in some sections.
