TIME TO SELECT AND CARE
FOR YOUR SEED CORN.

Better and larger crops of cereals
of any kind and particularly wheat
and corn are vital factor in the pres
ent struggle for existence. When we
consider how much depends on the
success or failure of our cereal crops
it seems reasonable to leave nothing
undone in the way of preventing fail
ure and establishing a crop record.
The farmers of Washington have done
we'll in the past and are making more
and more use of every available
source of information that will be of
help in corn production. A card to
the Extension Service of the state
college of Washington, Pullman,
Wash, will bring you the very infor-
nation that many have found to be the
very thing they were looking for.
When you are selecting seed corn
don't forget the stalk upon which the
ear grew. It's vigor. and strength is
just as important in the final result
as the ear itself. If the stalk is free
from disease and has good, strong
root system you may be sure that it
will aid greatly in the kind of ears
that will develop.
The type of ear to be selected will
have the following characteristics:
Small cob, but deep kernels.
1,.- r,A,,r Ii
of uniform kernels.
Wedge-shaped kernels with full and
strong germs.
Ears that droop or hang down on
the stalk.
AS soon as the ears are brought in
from the field they should be hung up
by means of Irvine in a room having
free circulation of air. In this way

MIssOURIAN ISSUE PRAISED
National Printer-JOurnalist Comments
On Anniversary Edition.

The June issue of the National
Printer Journalist has the following
to say of the Tenth Anniversary Edi-
tion of the Evening Missourian:
"An extremely fine creation in the
newspaper line is this Tenth Anniver-
sary Edition of the Evening Mis-
sourian, Columbia, Mo-, issued last
May 6. 1t consists of three eight
page sections, all filled with appropri-
ate special matter and profusely illus
trated. Advertisers have lent the pro-
ject their unstinted support, and the
handsome manner in which the Mis-
sourian mechanical force has handled
this matter is great credit to it. The
first section of this special edition
gives the regular days news, while
the second and third sections accom-
modate the special matter. Contents
of Part embrace a review of the
city's progress during the past decade,
and that of Part pertains more ex-
clusively to the war as applied locally,
carrying numerous portraits of Co
lumbia boys who have enlisted in the
national service. The edition is on
extra good grade of stock and nicely
printed. Advertisement composition
is excellent, as l mean to prove by
showing Exhibits 4, and s. The edi-
torial work on this sheet deserves
special praise and the mechanical
makeup is Of an equally high stand
ard"
The exhibits referred to are re-
productions of the advertisements of
the Coop, Barth Clothing Company
and Scott's Book Shop.
The same issue of the Printer
Journalist contains highly commen-
datory notice of the Traer Qa.) Star
Clipper, of which Harry. E. Taylor, a
graduate of the School of journalism,
is associate editor. Taylor recently
enlisted in the Navy
In the issue also is an article on the
1918 Journalism Week by Miss Irene
Fisher.

PICNICS AND SPORTSMANSHIP

Pick up your papers and burn them
along with all the rest of the debris
resulting from a picnic. Remember
the next party that comes along will
probably be tired and dusty, and the
sight of a ground Uttered over with
scraps from many picnics will take
away part of the Joy of reaching the
camping ground Then, too, the in
fiuence of clean picnic ground works
unconsciously. The campers just
naturally clean up when they get
ready to leave, if they found the
grounds in good condition when they
came.
And besides-this is the most i'm
portant of all-it is very poor sports
manship to leave your camp in any
thing but the best of conditions. A
true woodsman never goes off without
very carefully putting out his fire.
His contempt for the tenderfoot who
neglects to do so, is only to be COM
pared with his anger that the man ex-
posed so much life and property to
danger from fire. Likewise, your true
woodsman never leaves his nights
camping ground without burning all
the scraps he may have left He never
leaves paper, old tin plates, old shoes
or the like. He always remembers the
other fellow who is to camp there fol-
lowing him.
And after all, good sportsmanship
consists largely in remembering the
other fellow.

TEACHERS AND THE INCOME TAX

Teachers were listed as among the
classes which had fewest members
with incomes over $4,000 in the last
income tax reports. 1t is about time
that America adopts a policy of pay.
ing at least a living wage to her
teachers.
The average wage per year OF a
grade school teacher is 1850. No
self-respecting person can live happily
on $3.50 a year. In many places
teachers are paid for only nine months
or whatever number of months the
school term is. The other three
months, she, for the majority of teach
ers are women, lives off her relatives.
> This is a situation not particularly
conducive to high ideals, and it exists
in a profession where high ideals are
of paramount Importance.
The future of the nation depends on
the ideals acquired by children Of
school age. Fortunately, although
teachers have always been wofully
underpaid, they have been, as class,
far above the grade of persons usual
ly commanded by pittance of $780,
Now, because of the many occupa-
tions opening up for women in which
they can receive salaries to sustain
them in comfort, there is a lack of
teachers. The right kind Of teachers
must be had to fill this gap in the
ranks, to take the place of those who
have gone from teaching into war
work, or work which has opened up for
women on account of the scarcity of
men.
The right kind of teachers can only
be had by paying them a salary big
enough for them to live on. The old
scale of wages is pitifully inadequate,
as it has not increased with the in
creased cost of living. The day has
passed, too, in which school boards
can pay girls who live at home less
than they would have to pay teach
er from another town. School boards,
as we'll as other institutions, need
sometimes to be lifted bodily on to the
band-wagon of progress.

would only postpone the final struggle
Now that this war has come upon
us we must carry it through to de-
cision. We must not transmit to fu-
ture generations the germs of mill
tarism. From the spirit of depotism,
which has caused this awful tragedy,
this war must free the world We
have suffered enough The nations
must never again endure such black
days of agony as those in which we
are living.
1t is the supreme task of civiliza-
tion to put an end to Prussianism. To
listen to proposals for Prussian
| peace, to compromise with the butch
ers of individuals and of nations SO
that they would by agreement gain a
benefit from their crimes, would be to
compound an international felony,
which this Republic will never do.
Force is the one way to end Prus-
sianism, for it is the only thing which
the Prussian respects. This war for
democracy must be waged to a sue
cesful conclusion to make liberty and
justice supreme in the earth. 1t will
be bitter struggle, with lights and
shadows. for the foe is strong and
stubborn; but in the end we shall
triumph, for we must triumph or
abandon all that is worth while in this
world. May every American so live
and so serve that when the day of
victory over the Prussians dawns, as
1t will dawn, he may, by right of faith
full service. share in the glory.
To that bright hour let us look for
ward with confidence, for the Su-
preme Ruler of the Universe could not
decree otherwise. He has imposed
upon us and our brave comrades n
arms the task of freeing mankind from
the curse of avarice and inhumanity
which besets us. He has put upon us
the burden of making this world a fit
dwelling place for civilized men. Let
US not shrink from the task or seek
to avoid the burden.
War With All Our Energy.
Convinced of the righteousness of
our cause and of our destiny, let us
make war with all our energy. Let us
keep our banners unfurled and our
trumpets sounding to battle until vic
tory is achieved
Prussia wickedly sought war and
Prussia shall have war and more war
and more war, until the very thought
of war is abhorrent to the Prussian !
mind. So l read the spirit of America. ,
So l read the supreme purpose of the
allies. Victory lies before us, and be-
yond victory just and enduring |
peace. Until that peace is sure, Amer
lea can not and will not put aside the
sword.
