RED CROSS AND THE GIRLS

The girls of high school age in
Columbia are giving two and some
times three mornings a week to the
Red Cross. They are sewing in the
Red Cross workrooms, and their work
is fully satisfactory.
Besides the patriotic spirit which
this shows among the young people Of
Columbia, it is interesting because
most of the girls are learning the
value of sewing neatly and uniformly.
They are learning to work together
and the secret of efficiency, which is
cooperation.
The spirit this work manifests is
one of true patriotism. 1t is hard for
these girls to give up two or three
mornings a week of their vacation
time, but they are doing it and glad
ly. Only a few of the girls who are
of high school age are not working.
On account of heavier duties at
home during the canning and preserv-
ing season, many of the women who
have worked all winter find it i'm
possible to do so during the summer.
These girls are taking their place so
we'll that Columbia will not fall be-
hind in her quota of work to be done.
All honor to the girls who have come
in to fill the gap in the ranks, even as
all true Americans do!

That you'd give a dollar-ninety just

Where we used to work and play,
Attending to our pleasures and biz,
OF all the liquid crew
The finest drink l knew

PASSING OF GALLOWAY ODELL

In the center of Marshall, Missouri,
only few blocks from the Courthouse
squire has stood for over a century
a little rambling wooden house. Tall,
ragged, locust trees shield it from
view; more pretentious homes have
turned their backs and forgotten it.
There it has stood during the years
that Marshall has spread out and be-
come almost a city, unchanged among
all the changes a hundred years can
bring. Strangers coming to town
wonder, residents of the town, ac-
costomed to the sight fail to see any
thing unusual, houses crowd closer
and closer around as if to force it from
their midst but the little gray house
remains unchanged though the yard
shrinks and shrinks.
The little yard is the remnant Of
the 65 acres given by jeremiah Odell
on which to found the town of Mar
shall. The little house was his home,
and stood alone at one time with vast
prairies stretching around it. Besides
this little scrap of yard there is one
other portion of the land of the origi-
nal settler. the Odell burial ground,
a little tract northeast Of the town in
which lie buried Odells who died be-
fore the Revolutionary war, and where,
June 6, was laid Galloway Odell. He
was born September II, 1926, and the
little gray house had been his home
for almost a hundred years. For the
last few years he has lived there alone
refusing to leave the little gray house
for a more comfortable home with his
children or grandchildren. Passers-
by saw him year after year sitting on
the eastern porch, gray ghost of
past age. But not all were passers by.
His genial nature and honest sturdy
character had won him many friends
who visited him to hear the stories of
early days in Marshall. One of his
favorite stories was the account of how
he had often sat in his doorway and
shot deer on what is now the site of
Odell Avenue High School.
Ninety-two years in one homei Is it
a record to be desired? America has
sometimes been called a country
of tramps Few of us live in the
house in which we were born, fewer
still in the house in which our father
was born. Does this roaming or
changing affect our home ideals?

James Gordon Bennett, who, until
his death recently, was editor and
owner of three Observation-Disclosures
newspapers, made a provision in his
will by which memorial to his father
was founded in the shape of home
for New York's disabled or superan-
nuated newspaper men. That is very
laudable. We would suggest that
some one come forward with the same
provision for disabled and superan-
nuated newspaper women. There are
a few of them and the chances are
that there will be more.

ALUMNI IN ARTILLERY SCHOOL
H. H. M0ulton Writes of Meeting Mis-.

H. Harper Moulton, who was gradu-
ated from the College Of Agriculture
here in 1916, writes that he is attend
ing the Saumur Artillery School of
the A. E. F.. school for officers and
candidates for commissions. His ad-
dress is Candidate Detachment, Sau-
mur Artillery School, A. P. O., 71S,
American Expeditionary Forces, via
New York.
This" says Moulton, was for years
the world-famous French ! cavalry
school and now 1t is the foremost ar
tillery school in Europe. We are To-
Gated in a very historic and picture
sque part of France and find the work
very interesting and most practical.
There are several Missouri men here,
including Lieutenant Roscoe Harper,
'l6, instructor; Lieutenant Johnson, in
structor; Candidate Fronk, Agr. '15,
and Candidate Waters, Agr. IA.
Believe me, it is good to meet Mis-
sourians over here. l ran into several
down at (deleted by censor) also. They
were Cave Johnson. Agr. '16; Skull"
Brown. II; Estes, IL or ~, and Hud-
son, '13, who are all in a field remount
detachment of the Quartermaster's
corps. And all we did for several days
was to talk ab2ut bygoLe Farmers
Fairs, Kansas games, etc. 1t seems
that Missouri men are pretty much
all over France and l hope to meet
more in my travels"

Food Hint for Today
Vegetable Marmalades.

Vegetable marmalades may be made
at small cost from products from the
home garden. Since most of the
marmalades contain a smaller proper
ton Of sugar than those made from
fruits, it is especially desirable to
make some of them this summer. They
are made of combinations of vege-
tables, sugar and fruit acid. Lemon
Juice is usually used and other fruits
are sometimes added.

about one pint of marmalade:
