STICK TO YOUR BUSH

Many young men confess that ow-
ing to the unrest of the times and to
the uncertainty of their having to go
in the next draft. they cannot do their
best work. This is perhaps true OF
the average citizen. One may say that
If ever circumstances warranted un-
rest, they do now. Yet is it excusable.
even now? Is not the man who gives
his best effort to the task In hand the
one who will make good in the big
Job in France?
Every boy who has picked goose
berries knows that it is the fellow
who sticks to one bush that gets the
most berries. If he continually has
his eye on a new bush, he cannot do
Justice to the one that he has.
So it is with the man who does not
give his whole attention and best ef-
fort to the job in hand-he will miss
out in the whole game of life. Habit
plays a large part in the life of man.
If he does not form the habit of doing
his best work when he is young, if he
give it only half his attention, if he
skimps it, he will probably skimp all
his work when he is older.
Then when the young man is rest
less with his present obligations, let
him think of the homely saying about
the gooseberry bush and remember
that it applies not only to gooseberry
bushes, but to all the undertakings Of
life as we'll.
Stick to your bush.

WILL HE MARRY OVER THERE9

Specializing editorially on whether
the men of the American army will
marry English and French women be-
fore they return to their native land
has been taken up by American edi-
tors after the English and French
journalists have exhausted words and
thoughts upon the question.
The Liverpool Post sometime ago
said: I'VE wonder if the coming of the
American army will have any effect
upon the matrimonial inclinations OF
our girls. For some reason the men
of the New World have hitherto never
shown any great eagerness to take
brides from the Old. and even the
theory that this is because it has not
been the way of the American to cross.
the Atlantic. although it is cOnsoling
to our national vanity, does not work.
For il is noticeable that Canadians
who have abounded in our midst the
last four years are not near as fond
of marrying into the country as are
for example, Australians. Few of the
young men from Australia seem to
want to return home without an Eng
lish bride, but Canadians either are
married when they come or show a
disposition to remain single"
At this hour the Americans are the
center of attraction for the young
women on the other side of the water,
and the New York Herald in comment
ing on the situation says: Our SOL
diers no doubt have smiles for both
women of England and France, but it
is a safe gamble they have not for
gotten the girls they left behind"
The Baltimore Sun says that only
time will tell, while the Denver Post
remarks that "he will be back TO
marry that hometown girl way out
in the little western village in the
heart of the Rockies"

THE NEW BOOKS
Another Play by MissOurian.

Bernard Shaw was the playwright
who made the preface so interesting,
and others have since attempted to
doe likewise. 1.-The other Girl" by
Augustus Thomas, Missourian, also
has an Introduction Thomas is too
wise to try to initiate Shaw. Instead,
he has attempted to picture to us the
birth. development and maturity of
this play. He shows US in embryo the
absorbing spectacle Of play in
growth.
"The Other Girl" was written at
the order of Charles Frohman for two
stars, Lionel Barrymore and John
Drew. Here was something definite
to work toward, says Thomas. "In
play-making the value of an objec-
tive, even a fairly vague one, is that
1t acts like a magnetized wire, Sc
lectively; sawdust and rubbish gener-
do" Trifles come in handy. In one Of
the newspapers he had just seen an
item about young preacher who had
resigned his pastorate because of his
sense of hunor. He couldn't con-
troll his impulse to laugh during fun
erals and other solemn functions II a
provoking comicality invited. This
part. the playwright thought. would
fit Drew.
Then he gives an account of how
he came to cast Barrymore for the
part of a pugilist. It seems very
simple when 1t is all over and the
writer is telling how. He relates how
certain situations were thought out
and abandoned. At last a certain
scene came to his mind, and the plot
flowed from it.
The laughing preacher has the
pugilist, a champion of whose pro-
fessionalism he is not aware. help him
to recuperate The rich girl falls in
love with the fighter without knowing
who he really is. They run of at the
end of the first act to be married; and
what follows it would be unfair to
say, as the interest is in the unknown
situations.

NEW LINCOLN INSTITUTE HEAD
J. r. E. Lee of Kansas City Succeeds
b. F. Allen as President.

The board of regents of Lincoln
Institute, a negro school at Jefferson
City has elected Prof ]. R. E. Lee of
the Kansas City Lincoln High School
as president The election is for one
year. at a salary of $4,000. The re-
tirement of B. F. Allen, who was
president for fourteen years, marks
the end of a long political fight by
Kansas City negro leaders who main
tanned that politics was running the
school.
Professor Lee was trained under
Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee
Institute
The board of regents was not a unit
in removing Allen. Speed Mosby,
state beer inspector. and F. Guy
Chinn, both of Kansas City, opposed
the move.

THE BUGLE PASSES

War efficiency has made the bugle
practically obsolete on the western
battle front. The bugle, the inspira-
tion of many a stirring poem and
picture, has been discarded for the less
romantic but more modern arm and
whistle" system by which the captains
direct the movements of their COM
panies. Present conditions have prov
ed that the bugle is not only useless
in some cases, but that at times it can
be a positive menace to the lives of
the soldiers.
During other wars the sound of the
bugle could be heard over the small
arm fire and the ITO Arms" and
Charge" orders were given by the
clarion notes blown by lusty young
bugler. But the boom of the heavy
artillery on the western front today
would drown out the feeble notes of
the bugle. Trench fighting also makes
this method of giving directions al
most useless, as the charges are made
at night when silence is absolutely
necessary.
The arm and whistle" system is
now being taught in the cantonments
in America The British developed the
system and proved it successful. The
newer method may not be so roman
tic but If is efficient and probably
saves the lives of many men

THE HEN AND THE GARDEN

In a short time the old battle be-
tween the neighbor with chickens and
the one with the garden will begin
for II is the nature of chickens to be
active and scratching and that Of gar
dens to be passive and scratched-to
the decided disadvantage of the gar
den.
Needless to say, neither owner is
passive. He who has chickens feels
that the one who has a garden should
fence his plot in, so that the chicken
may be monarch of all it can scratch /:
and the possessor of a garden believes
in the rights of the individual and that
man as well as chickens should be
fed. The argument can be carried on
and is over the back fence-ad in
finitum.
This year the poultry industry has
received the stimulus of a Govern
ment proclamation to raise more
chickens, and those who are respond
ing as a patriotic duty are likely to
feel that concessions should be made
them. But there is also a movement
on foot to increase the garden acre
age. and the gardeners justly fear the
chicken menace.
However. the fact remains that the
law says to fence the chickens. and
the law is the final arbiter. There
fore, II you have chickens. fence them

on the opening of schools after the
Influenza epidemic has passed
they will be expected to teach six
days in the week instead of the
usual five; the object being to re-
lease the pupils early in the spring
and enable them to begin some
productive work. Even should
this war end this winter the de-
mand for all farm produce next
year will exceed that of this year.
