PRIZES FOR COUNTY DISPLAYS
Premiums Offered by State Fair at
Sedalia, August 10 to II.

SEDALIA, No., July I.-Visitors to
Missouri State Fair in former years
have observed contests in the division
of County Agricultural Display.
For the next exhibition, August
1917, the fair management offer ten
prizes for such exhibits that aggre-
gate $525, the first being S125. The
Missouri statutes authorize county
courts to pay the expense of having
such displays collected ami installed
at the State Fair. While the date is
too early for this years growth of
field corn and fall fruits and nuts, it is
particularly timely for almost all 9TH
er farm products and already there is
assurance that many counties will
compete. Last 0year twenty states
were represented among the visitors
here; hence the advertising-as well
as educational-yalue of county dis
plays is high.
The scale of points" by which these
county displays are scored are: quail
ity, 80; artistic arrangement, 20; num-
Der of field products, Is; number of
orchard products, 10; number of gar
den products, 10; labelling, 10.
Secretary E. G. Bylander will fur
nish free to all prospective exhibitors
all needed information.

RUMANIA, A DESOLATE COUNTRY
Germany Can Hope for No Immediate
Tribute of Value,

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 10.-Rumania is a
desolate and barren country today
an awful object lesson of the cost of
war. Two years ago it was one of
the garden countries of the world,
teeming with agricultural wealth and
prosperity.
Anyone who has known Rumania
as she was when peace was forced up
on her by the Central Powers, must be
convinced that it will be years be-
fore Germany can draw from her fields
and orchards and very valuable tri-
butte.
Nor is the German control of Ru-
mania's petroleum production likely to
be a very profitable investment for
some time. In the so-called occupied
territories" the destruction OF the oil
fields was so complete that Germany
after fifteen months Of effort, is able
to measure her supplies from this
source in quarts.
In the rest of Rumania, it is doubt
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-07-01

| full if production can be much in
creased beyond that of the past year,
and during the past year petroleum
has been one of the scarcest articles in
the country, obtainable only under
personal and special license from the
government
During the middle of the winter,
an Associated Press correspondent
made a tour of inspection around
perhaps score of the frontier towns
where the largest proportion of refu-
gee population had been dumped in
the hurried retreat before the German
hosts. Conditions were serious be-
yond description, but the major part
of the suffering was due to famine
rather than exposure.
The shortage of food was such that
in many instances refugees were seen
in the fields eating-or attempting to
eat-grass.
Terrible as was the plight of the
people of these refugee districts in
war time, they can hope for little al
deviation with the coming of forced
peace. Practically no harvest can be
expected this year in these districts,
for no seed will be available, and
moreover there are no agricultural
implements left, nor any horses or
draft animals of any kind. Thou
sands of Rumanian horses died of
starvation during the winter, for the
peasants were too exhausted in caring
for their own needs to make any at
tempt to provide for their beasts.
In France the horses would have
been put to good use as meat for
human food, but the Rumanian peas
ant has an adherence of horse flesh
as meat.

THE GENTLE ART OF CHEWING

"Oyez! Oyez! all ye people hasten
to the marketplace and gaze upon the
marvel Of the age, a person who does
not chew gum" Such an announce
ment might well call forth an immense
crowd, and such person would be a
rarity to be compared only with the
fat lady or the snake-charmer in the
circus.
From the point of view of vulgarity
alone, chewing gum should be avoided
as a copperhead or a rattler. Moth
ing more unattractive could have been
devised by manufacturers to be i'm
posed on the credulous and unsuspect-
ing public.
A very attractively dressed young
woman went up in an elevator the
other day to apply for position in
the Office of one of the professional
men in the building. She was nel'.y,
stylishly dressed and was very bust
nesslike in her appearance. Her
gloves and shoes were clean and neat.
Her suit was freshly pressed, and her
hat a trim, businesslike sailor. She
was chewing gum. Not quietly, but
with gusto.
In the elevator with her was the
man whom she was going to ask for
a position. She had never met him
and consequently did not recognize
him He of course did not know her
and merely noted that she was SEEM
ingly enjoying her gum to the exclu-
sion of everything else. He entered
his office through private door; she
came in through the outer office. She
had removed her gum, but the man
recognized her and she did not get
the position.
There are degrees and degrees Of
avidity in the gentle art of chewing
gum. But all degrees are ohroAious

THE SOLDIERS SHARE

While we are talking so much about
the duty of the citizens of Columbia
to provide recreation for the soldiers
we have with us this summer, let us
remember that the soldiers themselves
owe something to the citizens of the
town.
There is no doubt but that the citi-
zens will do whatever is in their power
to make things pleasant for these
drafted men. Columbia's citizens al
ways do the best they can. And it is
a best that is not to be treated light
ly.
But what about these boys? Are
they going to do their best to recipro-
cate the friendliness of Columbians
by not bringing any dissatisfaction or
trouble to them? 1t is to be hoped
that they will see their responsibility
and live DIP to it.
Animal spirits are abounding among
them. The training they undergo
makes them fit and full of energy
Energy, or pep as it is sometimes
called, is mighty fine thing to have,
but it has to be curbed to keep it
from being too violent for other peo-
pie.
Any dissatisfaction which might pos
sibly arise would be due only tn the
animal spirits of the men in train
ing, but it is suggested that they keep
a firm hold on their energy.

HIS MOTHER SPEAKS

Olln Tw1SS, Is from tne May oCIioneI .
Mrs. Twiss is here this summer with
her husband, Professor Twiss, who Is
teaching education in the Summer
Session. He is a member OF the OHIO
State University Faculty.
He died in France!
! know
| who love courage So
must not weep, but only braVeiy
! smile,
Still thinking all the while
That, in some rosy haven where he
lies
At rest in Paradise,
By most gracious Heaven-granted
chance
He smiles at me-my boy who died in
France!
He surely could not be afraid.
How long we worked TO make him
Sravel
Why, when he was little tot, one
day
He came home cut and bruised and
gave
Me one scared look, and said,
"They pounded me-" and cried and
begged to stay
Away from school and never, never go
back.
And then we talked, my little lad and
He snuffed and he whined but ceased
to cry,
Then stood up straight and gave his
chest whack,
And tossed his head,-his close-crop-
ped head,
Where his bright chestnut cUrls were
used to grow
Before his father cut them off,-ah,
long ago
And said he'd beat them yet!
But oh, those dreary days
When he came home still beaten, still
afraid!
His sobbing whimpers always made
My heart sink low. 1t was so hard
to get
His courage back, and make him try
again.
Till dawned that golden morning when
He strutted through the door, his eyes
ablazel
His lips were cut and his poor freckled
nose
Was one red squirt of blood from we'll
placed blows.
1 met the gaze
OF that wrecked god-like youngster,
saw the shade
OF fear had vanished, and ] knew
That when he pranced and shouted, it
was true
81 amt afraid"
But now he's dead,
In France, 1 don't know where.
He thought / would not let him go.
Dear, foolish boy, and brought me
flowers
And petted me and tried to prepare
My heart for his great news. How
could he know
That 1 had read it in his deepened eyes
And sudden manly ways?
He was SO proud that 1 could rise
To his fair dreams. He thought that
1 loved Peace;
And so 1 did, until one night they
drowned
A stately ship whose bravery has
crowned
Her beauties for the centuries to
praise.
Since then 1 did not cease
To rear about my splendid boy great
towers
OF pray'r that he should fight with
courage high
And that, if need be, bravely he should
die.
I prayed that he might fight, if die he
must,
man to man with hope in
ev'ry thrust;
That in his last encounter he should
/
meet
A man who fought with grave and
gallant grace
And, while the blows fell, in the 9TH
er's face
Be written admiration; SO the last de-
feat
Would not taste bitter from a foe so
brave.
This boon / could not help but crave.
What futile dreams a mothers
thoughts employ!
And yet know
who love courage So
When through the dawn their faint
shapes were deserted,
Thank God-he fought them all, and
fighting diedi
