War Cyclopedia Issued
 By The GoUernment

A War CycloDedia" is the latest special war publication of the Government issued through the Committee on Public Infor- nation. It is a handbook for ready reference on the great war. and contains in some 300 pages a great mass of informa- ton simply arranged and clearly stated. It is issued in response to an insistent demand from many students, writers, clergy men, lawyers. business men and the pubic at large for authentic statements of the outstanding facts concerning the war in al- phabetical arrangement.
 The War Cyclopedia" was edited by Frederic L. Paxton, University of Wisconsin; Edwin s. Corwin, Princeton University, and Samuel B. Harding, Indiana University. the editors drawing freely upon the time and the patriotic goodwill of a large number of special writers from all parts of the country. Be- cause of It's special value and the high cost of printing a small price of 25 cents copy has been fixed by the Government to cover the cost of production and distribution. It may be obtained from the Committee on Public Information. 10 Jackson Place, Washington D. c.
 Tn a foreword Chairman George CreeI, of the Committee, says: "Other handbooks have been and will be made by other agencies; all will serve their end, for this war is not to be won by an established doctrine nor by an official theory, but by an en- frightened opinion based on the truth. The facts of history and life are the only arsenal to which Americans need resort in order to defend their cause. The deeper their study, the frmer becomes their conviction. The War CycIopedia" represents an effort to arrange in simple form the facts most needed. "

The Farmer Has Been Protected

The attempt to build up a new political party on the discontent of the farmer or on the theory that he has not been treated fairly by the government will fail.
 The farmer has been amply protected and the indications are that he will be throughout the year. The result, according to observers, is to be record plant ings and record prices. With grain soaring, there will be more wheat. oats and barley. With the potato crop being cleaned ur through the efforts of the food board. there will be at least the usual acreage in that crop.

Real Purpose of the State.

The ultimate purpose of the state
is not to rule men, to keep them in
fear, to subject them to the will of
others, but, on the contrary, to allow
each as far as possible to live in Sc
curity, that is, to preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or to his neighbor. No, re-
peat, the object of the state is not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
mails or automatic its object is to en-
able the citizens to develop in security
their bodies and their minds, freely to
employ their reason. The true end of
the state, therefore, is liberty

Thursday Evening
The third and last concert of the
festival of 1918, given there every
night was a brilliant affair, in fact
one of the most delightful concerts
ever given there, and the audience
! bowed its enthusiastic appreciation
of each succeeding number on the
varied program by most hearty ap-
| lause. The new work by Sir
Charles Villiers Stanford, receiving
is initial rendition at this concert.
This eminent composer has furnished
everal works for Norfolk and a
new one is awaited with peculiar
interest because of its title, "Ver-
| un", and its dedication to Charles
liarie Widor and the great country
he represents, which is France.
The work is a splendid musical tri-
butte to France and to that tragic
and heroic city, Verdun and all that
it represents, which is France.
Another interesting feature of this
concert was the repetition of three
of the works which had received their
initial rendition at previous concerts.
Hadley's symphony No. 4, in d minor
was the first of these and opened the
program. 1t is interesting from start
to finish. 1t splendidly interprets
|
ton and reception only confirmed
the opinion that in this work we have
one of which will stand the test of
time.
Another composition receiving a
second rendition in Norfolk was Chad
wick's Tam O'Shanter' always in
teresting and effective. This too has
demonstrated it's worth. Both of
these works were conducted by the
composers adj received prolonged and
hearty applause. Still another rep
etition was Coleridge-Taylor's "Ban-
boula Rhapsodic Da-ca' y, -itten fuv
the festival of 1910 and receiving an
enthusiastic welcome at that time.
! Two more of Sibellus' works which
were played under his leadership on
the notable occasio Of his visit TO
Norfolk in 1914, wore repeated. They
were 'Musette" a lovely little shep-
herd theme and "Findlsndll" reveal
ing the plaintiff, tragic, but uncon-
| quered country.
Other interesting features of the
concert were the selections from Vic
tor Herbert's Eileen" sung by Lam
bert Murphy and Mabel Garrison,
and the singing by the latter of Dav-
ids "Charmant Oiseau." This was
charmingiy sung and as anencore
sh2 sang r.1st delightfully."- the LES
son Scene Waltz" from the Barber
Of Seville" For these, her husband,
William Siemonn, made his debut as
a conductor.
Maud Powell, the greatest of Am
erican violinists, played a series of
American and milan airs arranged
for the occasion by herself. They
included the barn dance type of
"Shine On" and Kingdom Comm"
the fine old Foster favorites, "Old
Kentucky Home" and "Old Black
joe" the exquisite Little FREELY"
ridge Taylor. AS an ending she play
by Cadman and"Deep River" by Cole
ed with great skill and delicacy the
with a harp accompaniment.
The final feature was the splendid
singing of America" and so ended
the festival of 1918. 1t was the 40th
concert.

Wednesday Evening
Wednesday evening there was a
more definite expression of sympa-
thy with our patriotic feeling and the
deeper feeling for the suffering and
the moral grandeur of our war mood.
The concertbegan with the singing of
one verse of "The Star Spangled
Banner, and what a rendering it
was. The great orchestra had been
reinforced by 10 trumpeters and the
song had been specially orchestrated.
Furthermore the chorus had been
trained to sing this rather difficult
national song, and when DR.. Mees
turned to the audience and made
them his vast chorus the effect was
electric. Rarely does one hear such

down when he was picked up tive
| floors below. He never got out Of bed
again. But as soon as he was able
to talk he and his wife had visitor
the compensation lady," an inves-
| tigator for the state industrial COM
mission. She didn't say anything
about its having been Sans own fault,
nor did she say anything about the
"contributory negligence" Of the man
who moved the elevator. She just
brought blanks for Sam and his wife
to sign; then the state paid the ini-
tial hospital expenses. Afterward
Sam received two-th;rds of his usual
pay every week.
When Sam died six months later,
Mrs. Smith realized that her allow
ance from the state could continue
at best only two years longer. 1t
was up to her to work for her living.
The problem lay in her children, =
and years old. Some mothers, she
knew, had to leave their children
locked in a furnished room while they
themselves went out to work. Other
mothers had to let the children play
in the street all day.
Mrs. Smith told her troubles to the
compensation lady" Here's the way
they settled the problem: The month
ly payments that would have been
scattered over the next two years
were Jumped and given to Mrs. Smith
in cash. With that amount she was
able to start a small store in a resi-
denCe district, where she sold news
papers, magazines. candy and dry
goods. She lived in rooms at the back
of the store, so that all day long she
was never out of hearing of her chill
dren.
This isn't fanciful example. Cas-
es like that of Sam Smith and his wild
CIV are happening every week in some
states. The point is, they don't hap
pen in MissOuri-at least not with that
sort of ending. Joe Jones' cases,
however. do happen.
1t will be up to the people of Mis-
souri,, through their legislators, this
winter to decide whether they want
this to be Sam Smith state or joe
Jones state.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP

What's the use of giving to the
Red Cross now that the war is over?'
Some members of the canvassing
committees for the Red Cross Member
ship Drive have already started their
work of getting memberships in Co.
lumbia for the Red Cross and the fore
going question is the one they have
met in not few instances.
In the first place, may the peo-
pie of Columbia understand that the
Red Cross is not seeking a huge sum
of money from this campaign. The
Red Cross is merely seeking MEM
berships at the nominal sum of 81 each
and with the record that the organi-
zation has for service in this war back
OF it the society is warranted in ask
ing that practically every man, wom-
an and child in the United States
give it one dollar and the moral sup
port of membership.
The work of the Red Cross in this
war is not over by any means. 1t has
a vast amount of work ahead of it
yet in connection with caring for the
soldiers who are in Europe, majority
OF whom will have to remain there
for an indefinite period. Then, too, the
Red Cross is just as essential and as
serviceable as a peace organization
as it is in times of war 1t has its
valuable work to carry on in all per-
iods. To continue its work for the SOL
diers and to maintain its activities for
all in the days to come, it now comes
to you and asks for a membership and
a dollar. 1t is the Red Cross's last
appeal.
When you enroll as a member you
help put the whole moral strength of |
the nation behind the Red Cross.
Greet the canvassers with a smile |
and dollar.
