THE OPEN COLUMN
4 Merited Tribute.

Editor the Missourian: No citizen
in Columbia has been more faithful
since the country began war than Mrs.
w. H. Willis, director Of the central
Red Cross work rooms here
Mrs. Willis was the person who
first obtained the rooms for the work,
she got the first subscription from
citizens in the town to begin the work,
and she subscribed largely herself
Besides, she has given practically all
of her time to the cause since its
birth.
Those who work with Mrs. Willis
say that she is very delightful per-
son with whom to associate; there
fore she has made a great success
Of her dictatorship. The work that
she has turned out has received praise
from Government headquarters be-
cause of its fine quality. Mrs. Willis
will not allow shabby work to leave
the rooms. One can certainly say of
Mrs Willis that she has done what
she cOuld.-COLUMBIA.

GARDENING RESULTS

Why waste your energy on dumb
bells, Indian clubs, patent rowing ma
chimes, tennis, rackets and niblicks /;
why spend your time flying up and
down the streets in automobiles en-
deavoring to get fresh air treatment,
when there is always the garden to
work?
This is the most patriotic kind
Of exercise these days, and it is the
kind of exercise that gets several
kinds OF results. 1t makes for muscle,
appetite and sound sleep; it cuts down
the grocery bill; it increases the
worlds supply of food, and helps win
the war This is more than can be
said of the gymnasium and the golf
links
1t is not too late to plant sweet
corn, beans, tomatoes, peas, cabbage,
spinach, cucumbers,-in fact virtually
everything that comes under the head
of garden truck" Even potatoes and
onions may yet be planted with good
results. If one hasn't a garden, there
are yet many vacant lots not in use.

THE WINNING SPIRIT.

1t was a little shack thrown up
along the railroad tracks, not to be
flattered with the name of house, and
not trying to live down the neither
in the front yard. The roof was pat
termed after patch work quilt and
the boards that made the walls were
feeble hints of one-time bright tur-
Quoise and glaring vermillion, family
reminiscent of huge signboards that
admonished you from the middle of a
clover field to Buy Robinson's Liver
Pills" or Go to Jones'" There were
no visible means OF support for the
family-no garden, no small farm,
nothing but bare black earth and
struggling brown grass.
But out of this sordidness shone one
ray OF bright light that dimmed the
ugliness. In a whole pane of one of
the windows was pasted small Red
Cross membership poster. A little |
faded, the cross still glowed with the
spirit that had purchased the right
to display it. It was Il spirit that
knew what dollar means in pOverty's |
circle and a spirit that knew what
dollar means spent now in the ma
tiOn's cause-a sacrificing spirit. the
kind that will win the war for US
Its spreading influence is being felt
far and wide. Let us keep it with us
and use it whenever we are called up
on to help the country in any way.

PUTTING UP A BLUFF:
HOW COOPER MADE GOOD

Golfers Weekly says of Fred Coop
er, well known in Columbia as Jour.
nalism Week speaker on two occa.
siOns:
There are three kinds of self-made
men. There is the kind that make you
wish they had done better job while
they were doing it, and the kind that
have done well enough but have got
rather soured on the world in the
process, and then there is the kind
Cooper is.
Cooper was born in McMinnville,
Ore, about the time the real-estate
agent superseded the red Indian as
the only serious obstacle to a peaceful
life in the West-that is to say, in
1888. He went down to San Francisco
at seventeen, determined to earn liv-
ing. At twenty-one he had acquired
an education as a commercial artist
and saved enough money to buy a tick
ct East. When he arrived in New York
he had no work, no money. and no
body owed him anything He called
on Will Irwin, who was then star
reporting for the Sun" Cooper had
never met Irwin, but Irwin was from
San Francisco, so Cooper thought he
would do well to call on Irwin and in
troduce himself. Irwin was in the
middle ola two-column story. He
looked up from his typewriter, shook
hands, heard COoper's story, and OBJ
served: This town loves a bluff.
Give it what it wants. The higher the
better and went on writing.
The next days Cooper looked over
the morning papers and decided he
would like to make the drawings for
the New York Edison COmpany's ad-
vertisements. II looked like an able |
concern; able to pay, that is. So he
made drawing, and got his friend /
Hal Marchbanks to introduce him.

TEACHERS OF FARMING NEEDED
Smith-Hughes Act Causes Demand to
Exceed Supply.

The College of Agriculture is re-
ceiving large number of requests for
teachers of agriculture in high schools
operating under the Smith-Hughes
Act. The passage of this act by the
last Federal Congress, will revolution
ize the teaching of agriculture in high
schools. Heretofore, much of the
agriculture taught, has been rather
impractical and bookish, largely be-
cause teachers were not properly pre-
pared and the work was new.
Under the provisions of this Smith
qualify will have an agricultural
teacher of high grade, one-half of
whose salary is paid by the Federal
Government. This teacher'will spend
the entire year on the ground. His
duties will be similar to those of a
county agent and community leader.
He will help the high school boys in
agricultural work. Much OF the work
will be done in the field.
The need for properly trained teach
ers is greater than the supply. II is
hoped that a number of the expert
enced teachers in the state will en-
deavOr as soon as possible to fit them
selves for teaching in these schools.
This development of agriculture in
the high schools under this act, prom
ises TO be one Of the most important
advances since agricultural colleges
were founded.

tive employer sore as a boil, Cooper
waited a week and then took the
drawing down to him. The advertis-
ing manager was still mad, but he
liked COoper's stuff so much that he
gave him all the work he could do.
Cooper hurried off to thank Irwin
for his good advice and tell him his
luck. Irwin listened, rOund-eyed
You mean to say the bluff wOrked?'
he asked.

Gosh" said Irwin. Who'd a

.ENLIST-AND 60 TO COLLEGE,
ClaXtOn Outlines Governments Plan
of Military Instruction.

P. P. Claxton, United States Commits
sioner of Education, writes as fol-
lows:
Many 1918 high-school graduate
is debating with himself this year:
Shall go to college or shall | enlist
at once for military service?
The War Department has Just made
it possible to do both 1t says, in eff
feet, to the ambitious young American,
You serve your country by going to
college. To make sure that you do
not lose thereby the opportunity OF
serving your country in a direct mill
tary capacity, you will be asked to Join
the special United States army col
lege training units that are to be
formed. You will be liable for sery-
ice at a moments notice, but because
you are worth more to the nation with
your college training than without it.
you will be expected to stay in col
lege until called by the Government"
The War Departments announce
ment provides that beginning with
September, 1918, military instruction
under officers and non-commissioned
officer OF the army, will be provided
in every institution of college grade
enrolling for the instruction one hun
dred or more able-bOdied students over
the age of eighteen. The necessary
military equipment will be provided
by the Government. There will be
created a military training unit in
each institution. Enlistment will be
purely voluntary, but all students
over the age of eighteen will be en-
couraged to enlist. The enlistment
will constitute the student a member
of the army of the United States, liable
to active duty at the call of the Presi-
dent. 1t will, however, be the policy
of the Government not to call the |
members of the training units to ac-
tive duty until they have reached the |
age Of twenty-One, unless urgent mill |
tary necessity compels an earlier call. |
Students under eighteen, ard therefore |
not legally eligible for enlistment. Will |
be encouraged to enroll in the training
units. Provision will be made for CO. |
ordinating the Reserve officers Train
ing Corps system, which exists in
about one-third of the collegiate in
stitutions, with this broader plan.
This new policy aims to accomplish
4 twO-fold object" the War Depart
ment announces. First, to deveICp |
as a great military asset the large
body of young men in the colleges.
and second to prevent unnecessary
and wasteful depletion of the colleges
through indiscriminate volunteering.
by offering to the students a definite
and immediate military status"
No nation has made such generous
provision for combined military and
college education as has the United
States in this new plan. The youth
who avail themselves of the privilege
will be serving their country's imme-
date as well as future needs.

DO YOUR BEST

Jones, or perhaps his name is Smith
earns $4,000 year. He spends $4,000,
saves $4,000 and puts it into Liberty
Bonds, and sits back satisfied. He
has done his bit. Before the war he
earned $4,000, saved $4,000 and put it
into stock which paid him per cent.
By putting his money into Liberty
Bonds, he sacrificed u per cent for
the cause of liberty.
The man who does this and nothing
more may be doing his bit, but it is
not his best. What the Government
wants of citizens is to increase their
producing capacity, and diminish their
spending capacity. Then there are
great causes like the Red Cross to
which one with a consciousness of his
duty cannot give a deaf ear.
When a man considers what the
soldiers are doing to preserve his
country, while he is allowed to stay
at home, he should be very generous
with his money in helping in any way
that he can. He should do his best;
give until he has really denied himself,
and until the denial hurts. When a
man merely invests his money in Lib
erty Bonds and does nothing else, he
has fallen far short of his duty to
his country.
