Missouri Democracy presents to the
people Uel w. Lamkin for Superin-
tendent of Public Schools. He is a
married man, Al years of age, at the
height of usefulness. Born in Mis-
souri, and educated in the public
schools of this state and the State
University, he has spent his time
and talents in the service of Missouri,
where he has made good, and today il
recognized, not only here, as leader
in education, but his reputation Is ma
tional. Why change from one of prov
en- ability, experience and success to
the untried? ....
The New England Journal of Edu-
cation is the leading school paper in
the United States, and its editor, DR..
A. E. Winship, has wider knowledge
of school matters than any other one
man in the United States. The fol-
lowing clippings are taken from the
editorial columns:@
Uel w. Lamkin, State Super
intendent of Missouri, should be
re-nominated and reelected re-
gardless of political preference.
Mr.. Lamkin has in his brief
term shown himself to be the
equal of any predecessor, and in
vigorous championship of the
best things in modern education
and in patriotic Americanism he
has no superior in the forsty
state superintendents.-July II,

pared the plans for the system Of vo,
cational education in Missouri in &C.
cordance with the provisions of the
Federal law. Under this Missouri
will get $4,000 the first year, and the
amount will be increased annually:
Legislation suggested by the State
Superintendent has resulted in secur.
ing better teachers for country schools
with better salaries; in increasing the
efficiency of county superintendent;
in perfecting the consolidation law; in
preventing the breaking up of districts
and in making possible better ad-
ministration of the school system.
Emphasis has been placed on coun-
try school development.
(al In connection with the State
Teachers Association, the state .du-
cational institutions and others, q sur
vey of the one-room country schools
has been made.
~ Started a movement in Missouri
looking toward the more practical
teaching of agriculture and country
life problems in the country schools
Secured the introduction of courses in
rural life problems in all Of the normal
schools, in order to better prepare
teachers for country schools.
(c) BY consistent effort the num-
Der of approved rural schools has been
increased; salaries of country teach
ers have been advanced; qualifica-
lions Of teachers have been raised and
instructions made more efficient.
(d) The course of. study for ele.
mentary schools has been completely
revised. The dominant thought, has
been that the child should be devel-
oped and his power to think and to do
increased. Without disparaging eth
ers, it will no doubt be conceded that
the new course of study is the best
ever prepared for Missouri schools. 1t
Is being favorably commended both in
and out of the state.
(e) Every high school in the state
has been visited by an inspector dur
ing each Of the past two years. The
number of first-class high schools has
increased from 225 to 279. the number
Of second-class from SO to los, of
third-class from 100 to GOA total in

The commoner Says His Nomination
for the Senate 10 Gratifying to
Lovers Of Good Government.

L .rf
The nomination of Joseph w. Folk
by the Democrats Of Missouri for
United States Senator is gratifying to
real Democrats and lovers Of good gov
| eminent everywhere.
|. His record as Circuit Attorney of
st. Louis, where he exposed and pros
ecuted corruption in official life,
made him a national figure. -
AS Governor Of Missouri he put Mis-
souri, in the front rank of the progress
sive states by securing the enactment
of the initiative and referendum. state
wide primary laws, child labor laws,
public service corporation laws, by
taking the police of the large cities
out of politics. by suppressing gam,
bling, winerooms and by enforcing the
liquor laws in the face of the deter
mined opposition Of the powerful
brewery and liquor interests.
These things made the name Of 10
seph w. Folk synonym for good gov
eminent. After the election Of Presi-
dent Wilson, Joseph w. Folk was
made solicitor for the Department of
state. He there became familiar with
those great principles Of international
law, the knowledge Of which will en-
able him to render services In the
Senate In this great international
crisis.
For four years he was chief counsel
IT the Interstate Commerce, Commits
sion and Is regarded as one OF the
leading experts in America on trans
portation questions. In the Senate he
will. Of course, be member of the
Interstate Commerce Committee and
will be Of tremendous assistance in
solving those transportation questions
which will be so pressing for solution
during the war and after the war is
ended.
The people of Missouri should elect
Joseph w. Folk to the Senate by the
largest majority ever given Demo
cratic candidate in that state. He is
needed in Washington to uphold the
President and to aid him in winning
the war. His election by large ma
jority would be construed everywhere
as an evidence that the people Of Mis-
souri, desire to uphold the President
at this time.
No matter how good a man the Re
publican opponent Of Gov. Folk may
be, there should be no hesitancy ON
the part Of the patriotic citizens Of
Missouri Of all parties in casting their
votes for Joseph w. Folk, thus declar.
ing that they favor good government,
the elimination Of graft, the enforce
ment Of the laws and the UNFOLDING Of
President Wilson.
We urge our friends In Missouri Of
ali parties to vote for him. The Com.

America Beginning Greatest Corn Con.
sumption in History, Using Cereal
in Many Delicious Dishes.

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop,
is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
80 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-were raised in 1917.
1t was a mighty crop. The actual in
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store of grain is COM
Ing on to the market in the nick of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been SEN to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
just as it happened in the Colonial
days, the War of the Revolution, and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list of Americas food
commodities there is no item that is
better than corn. In buildings, bread,
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn is without a
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number of delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are %benefiting by an increas-
ed use Of the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal, contains all Of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the fighting men
abroad and in the army camps at home
may be fed, and in order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America in the war,
the citizens of America arr finding
cor products delicious and palatable
on "wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations in Europe.
England, France and Italy must be
fed from Americas great ~storehouse.
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use corr is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And 1t is the opinion of officials in
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits Of
Europe.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan Of selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls Of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.
