THE A. u.

(From an address by Adolph S. Ochs OF
the New York Times.)
1t gives the news, and knows no
friends or foes, and has no concern
as to the effect of happenings and
events honestly reported. Its reports
are only restricted by truth, decency
and patriotism-and this is Melville
E. Stones code.
AS to its accuracy and legal limita-
tions l need only refer to the fact that
libel suits have cost The Associated
Press a negligible sum. In fact, there
never has been a substantial sum real
lied in a libel suit against The As
sociated press, and altogether, not a
half dozen suits these past twenty-five
years. Libel suit judgments have
cost The Associated Press in the last
twenty-five years less than the ex-
penditure for lead pencils in the same
period"

entertainment in the University Audi.
torium, when he and his string quartet
led them into that sanctuary of ar
known as Chamber Music"
1t was done perfectly. Each per
former was a soloist, yet there was
perfect unison, and the music selected
was so tempered to the spirit of the
Sabbath, to peace and beauty, that
even nature responded, and the genial
warmth of the sunshine appeared to be
part of it.
The quartet combined a charming
harmony of execution delightful to ex-
perience, with a sympathetic under
standing of the spirit of the individual
composer and of each composition, no
ticeable yet almost imperceptible, es-
pecially in the Andante, quasi Allie
grettO of Lachner, and in each of the
pieces by Beethoven.
The beauty of the symphony charms,
the grandeur of oratoriO impresses,
but the simplicity, purity and grace
of the quartet must ever be the high
est ideal attainable in the art of music.
When ii is interpreted by hearts in
tune with its simple beauty, which are
both sensitive and skilful in its per-
formance, it becomes a perfect form
of pleasure.
We thank you, Mr.. Venable.

GREENS ARE PATRIOT!

This is the season of greens. The
appetite has a natural craving for
them. Only fresh and delicious greens
seem to satisfy our hunger during
these spring days They make not
only a springtime but wartime dish
They serve as a good food that may
be substituted for food that can be
transported "Over there" to the
American soldiers and our Allies. They
are little patriots willing to do their
bit on the side of Liberty in its battle
against the onrush of the foe.
We have long ago erased the idea
that greens were nothing but weeds.
We now know that they are good for
salads and vegetables. We have come
10 look upon them as regular spring
tonic in addition TO a food. Those
dandil;ons, pepper grass, sorrel, spin
ach and sour dock help make a de-
licious and healthful dish.
During this period when food is such
a vital question in the determination
of the result of the war, every Ameri-
can should consider it his or her
duty in using greens as a substitute
for food that can be transported to
the fighting forces. In greens Nature
has provided us with another weapon
to win this battle for democracy. To
let them go to waste, we may have
to pay the price next winter.
50 let's have greens for dinner. Let's
put basket on our arm, take knife
in hand and go in search for the food
that will help win the war. and also
satisfy that mysterious hunger known
to our appetites these springtime
days.

TRIBUTE TO DEAN WILLIAMS
Verse by Lee Shippey at Presentation
of Portrait Here.

At the presentation of the portrait
of Dean Walter Williams to the State
Historical Society of Missouri by men,
bers of the Missouri Press Associa-
tion during journalism Week, Lee
Shippey of the Kansas City Star paid
the following tribute to Dean Williams
in original verse:
He lives in house by the side of the
road
Where the race of men goes by,
Giving refreshment to all who pass
And comfort to all who sigh;
Counsel of wisdom to eager youth,
Ardent for high success;
Friendships and sympathy's wOndrous
balm
Strengthening, cheering and helping
To those who are in distress
All who may pass his way;
Giving new hope to the hopeless ones,
Faith to the ones astray,
With an open-hearted hospitality
Which reaches to all it can;
He blesses the lives of ten thousand
men
With the love of a friend of man
He lives in house by the side of the
road
Giving his life for men,
Giving such kindness that all who pass
Are eager to pass again.
And God in heaven and men below
Are gladder for his life plan,
For lover of men best loves the Lord,
And the Lord loves a friend of man

THE OPEN COLUMN
I'm Defense of the Professor.

Editor the Missourian: In the Open
Column of your issue of May s, read
with Indignation a letter headed The
PROFESSIONAL Vernacular" | would
like to present a brief in favor of the
professor, but | am not skilled enough.
! am not a professor; | entertain no
hopes in the depths of my heart of
becoming one. But | cannot help feel
ing that the author who so didactically
set forth his ideas on the subject of
the college professors vocabulary,
must feel deeply and resentfully the
innate superiority of the professors
speech to his own. He, the author of
the article. says the professor reaches
up and plucks words out of the atmOs-
phere" | feel sure the person who
wrote that is grieved because he can
not do likewise He must go forth and
labor long before his speech has the
finish. the polish the urbanity of the
professors.
Do you remember the fable of the
fox and the grapes?N- The words of
the professor, luciOus and tempting
in their ripeness, prompt many vain
efforts on the part of the pseudo-au-
thor to attain their height. When, as
in the story. the efforts are in vain. he
turns away. muttering, We'll. never

CLEANUP WEEK Is IN PROGRESS
Not So Much Waste Material This
Year as Usual.

Columbias annual cleanup week
campaign began today on the south
side of town. Robert Douglass of the
street department is in charge of the
work
According to Mrs. Jesse E. Wrench
of the Civic League, there is not so
much waste material this year as
usual, probably because of the fact
that people are not throwing away so
many things. She also stated that the
city authorities were having difficulty
in securing wOrkmen and teams.

Daily Food Hint

An all potato dinner was a feature
of a recent meeting of the Topeka
Kan, Chamber of Commerce The
dinner was a demonstration of the
cheap palatabls substitutes for wheat
and every dish contained potatoes
from potato soup to potato cake.
Don't throw rice-save food and
win the war" This notice has appear
ed in one of New York's leading ho-
tells where weddings are frequent. The
wedding feast has long been frowned
upon by food conservationists. The
amount of sugar required for frosting
has made the conventional wedding
cake unpatriOtic.
Remember these when planning
your meals:
Do they use other starchy food in
stead of wheat?
Are potatoes generously represented
in them?
Do they contain local produce so
that the burden on the railroads may
be relieved?
Are they as easy to prepare as pos
sible?
Are such of the five food groups rep
resented every day? The five food
groups are: fruits and vegetables;
meats and meat substitutes; grains
and other starchy foods; sugars and
sweets; fats.
Have you provided plenty of whole
milk for the children?
You are not forgetting cheese?

They should be bought now for spring and sum- mer and for next fall and next winter because when those seasons actually arrive the kind of faces and embroderies which you can wear now for few cents yard will be selling for double and more. These are laces we bought months ago to be sold in this sale. The laces we are buying now for next summer are costing us more and we know that when we go to the market next summer to buy for the fall and winter of 1918 that we are going to have to pay still more. We could take the laces we now have on hand now and hold them for larger profits later On That isn't the Love- man, Joseph & Loeb way of doing business, how ever and because of this broad policy of ours you may save on laces that we cannot possibly dupli- cate at the prices you pay.
 We list the savings and sincerely urge that YOU pav close attention to this event which means much in the way of economy for you.

A thrifty nation is a prosperous nation. The pur- pose of Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds is not so much to raise money for the government as it is to make our people thrifty A man who is thrifty will not have to be educated to conserve food and coal. The woman who is thrifty will welcome meatless and wheatless days If the nickels and pennies which the children in our country are wasting could be turned into Thrift Stamps, look at the wealth our country would accumulate in very short time
 Thrift Stamps cost 25c and are exchangable when you get 16 of them along with few cents in cash, for a Baby Bond, which is worth 500 on it's ma turity in 1923.
 Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds are for sale in this store and great many other retail stores and banks throughout Birmingham. Soon they will be for sale wherever anything is sold or where any business is transacted. Start a Thrift Card now.

Our
 January Silk Sale Expresses the true spirit of economy

In quite few instances the savings on silks in the January Silk Sale, are equal to the amount neces- say to pay for the making of the dress And if you do your own sewing so much the better There have been times when women bought silks which did not completely measure up to their ideas of patterns and color. The price advantage tempted them. In this good sale the temptingness of prices is no greater feature than the tempting ness of selection Thousands of yards of new silks are included in new patterns and in new colors. And your choosing need not be governed by price alone. MA A January Silk Sales have been annual events in this silk store for a great number of years. They are anticipated and carefully planned and grow big ger and better each year as more women come to know about them.
 Although this sale has been in progress nearly week 1t IS just as good sale now as it was two hours after it began. Assortments are just as com plete and savings just as worthy.
