psychological forces employed in war
Germany has reared a censorship
more nearly impregnable than any
the world has hitherto witnessed
That it can be made to exclude in its
entirety the destructive idea which
the President has sought to hurl into
Germany is hardly conceivable. But
that it can be made somewhat to
break its force is probable. And yet,
just as a shell may miss the center of
its target, and still have a destructive
force. so may this dynamic idea
which the President has again hurled
at Germany be broken against the
censorship. and yet, with its escaping
fragments, visit some destruction on
the German autocracy.

CHANCE FOR TRADE IN ITALY

Small Lots.

ROME, Sept. 1.-THE gap left by
the withdrawal of German and Aus
trian merchants from Italy is grad
ually being filled by American prod
ucts," said Fl. p. Benton, an American
who has for many years been manager
of one of Italy's largest department
stores, but if Americans wish to hold
this trade they must get around to
extending credits and catering to the
trade by. making small-lot sales.
Il do not mean that Americans
should do business like the Germans,
because they can't. German business
was often losing proposition. The
loss was made up in many cases by
direct subsidies of 25 per cent to
firms pushing German goods. | know

Germany in its own shops instead of
in Italy, it received this subsidy and

MUST WORK AS FARM HANDS
New Course For Those Who Expect To

Several years ago the University of

ment. This department devotes its
time to the study of farms and farm
business conditions. In connection
with its Investigations it offers work
to students which consists Of study
Of the business accounts of a number
of Missouri farms from which ac-
curate records have been obtained, a
study of the business practices fol-
lowed in buying, handling and selling
products, study of the organization
of farms from the layout of the farm
stead to the financing of the business,
and study of some of the methods
used on successful farms in carrying
on farm operations-how they are
economizing on man labor. horse labor.
machinery, and the like.
To add to the practical side of this
work the College of Agriculture is Of
fering this year for the first time a
course of study designed especially for
men who expect to manage farms.
Students who follow this course will
do four years work for graduation the
same as other long course students in
the College, but will spend the second
half of their third school year, the fol-
lowing summer, and the first half of
their fourth school year on an ap-
proved farm. During this time on the
farm they will wor kas hand and be
paid accordingly by their employer. In
addition they must keep a set of farm
accounts and prepare thesis on some
particular phase of management on
the farm on which they are working.
Men taking this course of study
must have had enough practical farm
experience before their junior year to
enable them to make good farm hands.

THE OLD TRAILS ROAD

The road problem continually
presses for solution. Just now chief
public interest in Central Missouri
attaches to the improvement of the
Old Trails Road and the construction
of a real road between the state capi-
tai and the state university. The
State Highway Commission is taking
every possible step to bring about
these as well as other road improve
ments. The ST. Louis Times, COM
menting editorially upon the work of
the commission, makes some sugges-
tions that are worth while, though its
comments give some errors of fact.
The Times says: The good work
done by the commission in that regard
can best be appreciated by making
trip across the state from St. Louis
to Kansas City by way of St. Charles,
Warrenton, Fulton, Columbia, Boon
vile, Marshall, Lexington and Inde-
pendence. This road is more fire.
quently used than any other cross
state highway. 1t is about 3O5 miles
in length, and before the commission
took charge more than one-third of
the road was almost impossible. The
entire distance has now been filled,
leveled, graded and scraped, so that
in dry weather it may be travelled in
safety and with convenience. The
same kind of work has been done on
the southern highway, the cross-state
road on the south side of the river,
but both roads are sadly in need of
surfacing.
The entire road to Kansas City
over the Boone Lick road and the Old
Santa Fe trail, while approximately
305 miles in length and a safe and
good dirt road for travel during fair
and dry weather, is dangerous and al
most impossible in wet weather. and
for more than two-thirds of the dis
tance less than one-fifth is rock or
hard-surfaced road. Travel by auto
mobile is utterly impossible at such
times.
I'VE suggest to the commission that
instead of spending the entire roads
appropriation in opening, leveling,
grading and scraping the dirt high
ways throughout the state, a suf-
ficient sum be retained and expended
for hard-surfacing at least one of the
cross-state roads. The road over the
Boone Lick and Santa Fe Trail route
would seemingly be preferred by a
greater majority of motorists for this
work. Reports from Jefferson City
show that 1856 automobiles have
been licensed, and the revenue real
lied from that source ought to be
sufficient to build at least one hard
or surfaced cross-state highway. The
travel across the state has been in
creased many fold since the commits
sion improved the dirt road, and if
the work were extended so as to
make the highways safe for travel in
all kinds of weather, the traffic would
be many times greater.
"The good roads work now being
done should not be retarded or de-
layed, but, as stated, at least one hard
or surfaced cross-state road should
be constructed without delay, so as to
invite and induce motorists crossing
the continent to go and come, east or
west, by way of st. Louis. Kansas City
and Missouri"
