What Is Poetry?

Lee Wilson Dodd writes in the Yale
Review:
Poetry-If 1 have any feeling for it
is good verse, fixed or free, and
something more 1t is this something
more" that really matters, even while
it battles all attempts to isolate and
define it, Critics have called 1t many
conflicting things, and no doubt with
reason-since in no two genuine
poets is it ever quite the same. l my
self suspect it is always the man reach
ing through to US; that great poem
is simply a great spirit revealed
through song. The doctrine (by no
means uncommon, but more often i'm
piled than plainly stated) that one
can be important as an artist while
Of little or no importance as person,
strikes me as nonsense-as the impo-
tent protest of limited souls against
the cold fact of their limitations. At
any rate, whatever this something
more" may be, it is always individual,
highly concentrated, intense; like
single, indestructible bead of perfume
distilled, it would seem, from all the
roses of all the gardens in all the
world. And there is just one test for
this true attar-for there are many
cleverly compounded imitations-its
undying seduction: a test, however,
which can never be finally applied to
contemporary verse, since the seduc-
ton of the moment may we'll prove
the weariness of tomorrow. But final
tests apart, for any one of US, sup
pose, poetry is verse that inevitably
casts a spell, verse we perforce re-
turn to.

parture from previous customs, for
while Hyde Park was always a rest

organized games there has heretofore
been prohibited.
Another result of the presence Of
large bodies of Americans in London
is the throwing and catching of base
balls in. the streets during the noon
hour. This is a familiar sight in the
streets of all American cities, but
Londoners were Mortified when the
practice was first attempted. Near
the junction of Kingsway and the
Stand there is large Y. M. C. A. hut

hours of the day playing "fungos"

NO BLOT ON OUR 'sCUFCHEON

In the first days Of the war, before
America had entered into it, the con-
tempt OF those who were in it was hard
for the proud spirit Of the Americans
to bear.
In this government of ours, public
opinion is the absolute power. AT
first, public opinion in the majority
was not for our entrance into the war.
We had been so long separated from
continental affairs that we couldn't see
our connection with the problem to
be solved. Our Allies said to them
selves and to us sometimes, I'VE are
fighting your fight-it is for the People
of all countries we are fighting. Get
into the game with us as you ought
to-"
Still we held aloof, until finally it
came with convincing clarity to Pub
lie Opinion that we must fight. Since
then we have made mistakes, to be
sure, but we have not made the same
mistake twice, and we have strained
every effort to get into the game in
full power.
The Italian who said, Send us four
divisions of Americans. We will first
shake hands, and then travel together
into Austria" showed graphically the
change of feeling that has taken place
among our Allies about America. Our
'scutcheon is unsmirched. We are
playing the game now, and the con-
sciousness of it is good.

If the story has a sad ending he re-

Billions mother read Cooper's novels

He has ever since had a great fond

he worked on a railroad out of St.

learning of life at first hand.

THE SPIRIT OF THE SAMMY

Lieut.. Thomas Bagnell of Marshall,
Mo-, who was on the torpedoed Lin
coin, in an interview recently publish
ed in the st. Louis Republic, says,
When l saw the boys on the other
side / was never prouder that l was
an American. The American boys
over there wouldn't exchange places
with anyone at home. l want to say
to every chap in the United States
who has reached the age Of q, get
into this fight; you will regret it if
you don't. / have met a lot of Ameri
can boys in France and have yet to
find one who would think of quitting
the job until America attains the sort
of peace this country set out to Sc
cure"
Lieut. Bagnell was sent home to
give instruction in the tank school at
Gettysburg, Pa, where he will be the
commanding officer. He was in Paris
when the long range gun struck near
the Arc d. Triumph, was on the firing
line and struck by flying scrapnel,
and lost all of his clothes, war relics,
and money when the Lincoln went
down; yet is eager to get back to the
front as soon as his term of service
here is finished

THE MOST OMNIVOROUS
READER IN COLUMBIA

Perhaps the best patron the Uni
versity Library has, and the most dill
gent reader in Columbia, is Gus Billion,
"A years old. Billion is known to
nearly everybody in Columbia as
rBumpsky." For ten years, on pleas
ant days he has been reading In the
cool, quiet spots on the Campus. At
nights and in inclement weather,
"Bumpsky" will not be denied, but
takes his book to Booche's billiard hall,
where he makes his headquarters for
his bill-collecting work. Yes, he finds
it necessary to work occasionally, and
collects bills for the merchants when
he is not reading. Still he manages
to average six books a week.
"Bumpsky" reyels in historical nov
els, especially those dealing with the
Colonial period. He doesn't
care much for love stuff" but wants
something substantial. His heroes
must be real men who are doing
things. Washington Irving, Sir Wal
ter Scott, Harold Bell Wright and
Zane Grey are few of his favorite
authors.
Billion chooses his books by the au-
thor and the titles. He admitted, with
a smile, that he often gets fooled. But

WHERE MISSOURI LEADS

Missouri is the greatest saddle-horse
state in the whole world-winning in
1917 the International horse honors
from Kentucky and all other state and
interstate competitors.
Missouri won more blue ribbons and
prizes in 1917 on live stock and held
more successful public stock shows
and sales of pure-bred high grade live
stock than any other of the states and
topped the great fat stock markets
oftener.
Missouri is the third state for pork
production, having in 1917 more hogs
on hand than the total of % other
states, and is thirteenth in sheep and
sixth in grand total number of all
kinds of live stock.
With 10 million idle acres awaiting
the hand of the home-maker, Mis-
souri, stands with gates of welcome
open wide.
Missouri has more apple trees than
any other state in the Union, and the
Missouri apple is first in flavor and
quality, compared to the apples and
other fruits of every nation. Missouri
was third in apple production in 1917.
Missouri is becoming a dairy state
and will soon be the first in the Union.
1t is the home OF the premier Jersey
herd, winning the largest state and
national total of blue ribbons in 1917.

Food Hint for Today

Old-fashioned Missouri lye-hominy

days. better than anything yet shipped
from Battle Creek, is speedily return
ing to popularity.
With good white corn, lye-hominy
may be made with concentrated lye,
but the Shannon County plan is pre-
ferred, so says Secretary Jewell Mayes
of the State Board of Agriculture.
To make lye-hominy select a gallon
of clean wood ashes (hickory pre-
ferred) and pour on ~ gallons of soft
water.
Set on stove in iron pot and boil
hard 80 minutes. Remove pot from
stove. set away for ashes to settle.
Pour lye through -four sack into stone
jar or crock.
Shell twelve large ears of white
corn into large iron pot or kettle, pour
lye over to cover corn, set on stove
and boil till it thickens or form a
scum on top.
Remove from stove and pour into
stone jar, adding 2 gallons fresh water.
Stir corn well and pour off water.
Repeat this washing process eight
times, then leave corn in jar over
night in fresh water. Next morning
1t will be ready to cook. The hominy
should be boiled till soft in plenty of
water. 1t may be served with milk
or butter, eaten with meat gravy, or
mixed with an egg and made into
cakes, then fried in lard.

BASEBALL FOLLOWS THE FLAG
England Gets an Intimate View of
Our Men at Play.


Our Men at Play.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 19-The axiom
that trade follows the flag has been
changed to include sport so far as
Americans in England are concerned.
With the influx of thousands of United
States soldiers and sailors to the
British Isles the Englishman is
rapidly gaining an insight regarding
the manner in which the average
American plays his games.
The performances of highly special
lied experts such as big league base
ball players and members of the
American Olympic Games teams are
not exactly novelties to the close fol-
lowers of sport in England. They
have also seen our best tennis play
ers in Maurice Mclaughlin and May
Sutton, but it remained for the world
war with its hosts of invading Ameri-
cans to bring about a clearer concep-
ton of how the ordinary man from
the States plays and acts in his nor
NAL recreative sports.
So keen has been the desire on the
part of the American service forces
abroad to spend their spare time in
playing at various games that many
strict English regulations have been
temporarily cancelled in favor of the
soldiers from across the seas. One of
the latest is the granting of a per-
NIT for the playing of baseball in Hyde
Park, London. This is a distinct de-
