THE SALOON AND THRIFT

Spring elections show that the
people in all sections of the country
are beginning to realize that the sa-
loon and thrift are incompatible, es-
pecially during war times Another
report is that 1000 Chicago saloon will
close shortly because the liquor deal
ers are finding that men are saving
their money rather than spending it
for booze
One of the arguments for liquor is
that it increases sOciability. Ii does.
But with the increase in sociability
comes and increase in the desire to
spend money on the other party and
to spend unwisely. which is exactly
what thrift is not
There are so many places for money
at this time. So many places il will
help the Government or help relieve
the suffering of the boys who are doing
the fighting that to spend foolishlv
and to spend where one not only gets
no returns but helps to add burdens

FARMERS FAIR WILL
HELP LIBERTY LOAN
Liberty Day, Set By Presi-
dent, on Same Date as Ag- =
riCultural Event.
REHEARSALS ON NOW
"Everybite, " in Style of
"Everyman," Will Be One
of New Shows.

The Farmers Fair has more than
usual significance this year since
President Wilson has by proclamation
| set April 26, the date of the Fair, .as
Liberty Day and has asked that the
people of the United States observe
it in fitting manner. The agricul-
tural students some time ago decided
that the fair this year should be dis
tinctly patriotic in every phase, voting
to give all of the proceeds to the Red
Cross. But since the Presidents re-
cent proclamation, increased efforts
have been made to give impetus to the
idea.
Liberty Bonds will be sold at the
fair grounds A committee of Co
lumbia citizens will be in charge of
the booth. All sales will be applied
toward Boone County's quota of the
Third Liberty Loan.
The parade, while it Will still rep
resent the different departments of the
College of Agriculture, will be patri-
Otic and will seek to stimulate bond
sales and increase general interest in
the other war work.
The part of the fair given by the
home economics department. will rep
resent food conservation and other
wartime economy. "Everybite," written
in the style of "Everywoman," will
be given by them in addition to the
usual shows, the minstrels and the
FOllies. 1t is a pageant and seeks to
increase food conservation. The de-
partment will also have a demonstra-
tion food show and float of the same
character in the parade.
Actual work on the buildings and
floats began Saturday and will con-
tinue throughout the week until the
day of the fair Rehearsals are being
held daily. A better entertainment
than in previous years is planned for
each of these. The guide books went
to press today and other preparations
are moving forward fast
A booth where students may vote
at the student election will be on the I
grounds. The results of the election .
will be announced at the last show of .
the Follies that night.
The Agricultural Club will meet for
The last time before the fair in the
Agricultural Auditorium at 7:3O
o'clock tonight. Final plans will be
at that time

THE NEW BOOKS
@The Art of Photoplay Making

Few are the authoritiee, serious
books on the photoplay. Vachel Lind
says Art of the Moving Picture" tells
of the beauty it is possible for a photo
play to have; Muensterberg's The
Photoplay" treats of the psychology
of the moving picture; E. W. Sargent's
Technique of the Photoplay" analyses
the writing and producing side. but
it remained for Victor o. Freeburg to
make synthesis of all three, and
this he has admirably done in THE
Art of PhOtOplay Making"
His first plea is for more artistic
presentation of scenes. and in that
connection he compares recognized
works of art with scenes from
popular screen plays, to the decided
disadvantage of the latter He gives
the greater part of his book over to
the analysis of composition in static
and fluid forms and dramatizing the
natural setting.
The film comedy is criticized, and
the author says there is yet to be
great film comedy written. He be
lieves the comedy field has undreamed
of possibilities.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS Us WIN

Conservation is a good thing for
a large family, or for hotels, and
boarding houses" says Mrs. House
wife, "but my husband just loves his
hot biscuits three times a day. Be
sides the little that the two of us save
doesn't amount to much" she adds.
This lady usually hasn't a son, or a
brother, or any very dear friend in the
Army.
Il really would just love to help in
Red Cross work" says the busy stu
dent, but my studies keep me very
busy, and l couldn't give more than
half hour a day. I'll let those who
haven't so much work put their time
into it,"
"The war is so big" remarks the
citizen" that I'm letting those in pow
er settle its problems. | won't get in
the way of those divinely appointed to
work in this tremendous crisis. My
subscription to the Liberty Loan would
be so small that it wouldn't help the
loan much"
Yet it is each housewives cOnserva-
tion of a few biscuits a day, added to
other savings of thousands of other
housewives in the country that makes
it possible to send millions of pounds
of flour to our boys across the seas
1t is the work of many women stu
dents, if only they work half hour each
day, that enables us to ship thousands
OF extra sponges and bandages to our
wounded soldiers. 1t is the contri-
button of the same average citizen
who contributes even a very small
share. which he thinks won't count.
added to thousands of other cOntribu-
tions that soon make up the quota that
Uncle Sam requests of us.
No one need think that his bit"
doesn't count He should do what he
can, no matter how small a service. |
and see that he makes it his best. 1t
is the little helps, added to other little
helps that will produce the big push |
which will bring to us victory.

YOUR DUTY TO
Be ATTRACTIVE
Have Pretty Dark Hair

LA Creole" Hair Dressing is the

beautiful dark shade or to its natural
color. 1t is the only hair color re-.
storer that will gradually darken all
your gray or faded hair in this way.
No matter how gray, prematurely
gray, faded or lusterless your hair
might be, Ia Creole" Hair Dressing
will make 1t beautifully dark, soft and
lustrous. La Creole" Hair Dressing
will not stain the scalp, wash or rub
off, and is easily applied by simply
combing or brushing through the
hair. Don't be mislead into buying
some cheap preparation.
