CAST-OFF TEXTILES

There is a definite use for all tex
tiles in the most worn-out condition.
Old rags have many uses in the
household as we'll as in commerce.
Miss Mary E. Robinson of the Exten-
sion Service of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture gives the
following suggestions for the use of
these cast-off textiles:
l. Underwear and hosiery may be
used for wash cloths, busters, dustless
mops, braided and woven rugs.
2. Badly worn sheets, pillow cases,
and parts of muslin underwear, after
being Numbered, may be torn and
rolled into bandages and dressings for
first aid chests or Red Cross work.
g. Parts of old table cloths may be
re-cut for luncheon cloths, table nap
kins, doilies and runners.
A. Worn towels make good wash
cloths. Worn Turkish towels make
good padding for kitchen holdens.
5. Worn curtains make good pad
ding for ironing board or dish cloths.
6. Pieces of wooden goods, percales,
and ginghams may be used for patch
work, comforts and quilts.
7. If beyond practical use in the
home, cloth or rags should never be
thrown away or burned. They are
needed in the manufacture of paper.

PERILOUS PROPAGANDA

German peace offensive has, taken
the form of trying to make the Amer
lean people believe that Germany has
already suffered so much loss in the
war and has so big debt, that the
could not and would not attempt to
fight another war "while anyone on
earth is now with u.s." This is pure
German propaganda. If we can be
lulled into such belief of cuorse it
will not be so necessary in our minds
to see that Germany is so whipped
that her people will realize the folly
Of war and the impossibility of conqu-
ering the world. We would be in a
frame of mind to give Germany bet
ter terms than she would get if we be-
lieved she was menace to the world.
Yet we know from the German mill
itarists have said, that they are alre-
ady figuring on the next war, that they
are calculating on having twice the
man power for it with which they be-
gan the present war, which they would
surely have if they were permitted to
retain their control of Poland, the Rus
sian Baltic provinces, the Ukraine and
the Balkans.
This effort to snatch from the Allies
the fruits of their victory and gain
for Germany easy peace terms, leav-
ing in her hands plundered territory
and control over far greater war re-
sources than she had at the beginning
of the present struggle, is the most
insidous and dangerous German pro-
paganda yet attempted. 1t holds in
it the potency Of gigantic evil to the
world. The one thing must be alb
solutely sure at the end of this war
is that there shall not be left vast
empire under the control of Prussian
militarism. He is no friend of Dem
ocracy who seeks to scout the peril of
such a condition.--St. Louis Star.

A PATRIOTIC PRESENTATION

Hearts of the World" the creation
of that marvellous wizard of the
screen, DR.. d. w. Griffith, might nov
er have been, according to the state
ment of a close personal friend of
Mr.. Griffith's, had not the Germans
introduced the use of poison gas in
the war. This act and many more of
equal barbarism and horror have
drawn down the hatred of the world
upon the Hun and woe be to him when
the day of final settlement comes and
at the peace table he hears his indict-
ment for his crimes.
Just prior to the battle of Ypres
Mr.. Griffith was in London arranging
the premier of intolerance" His
mastcrful handling of that subject
drew enthusiastic praise from critics
throughout the English metropolis and
it was not long before he was visited
by Lord Beaverbrook, a representative
of the War Office, who wished to per-
suade him to visualize the story of the
war in any way he saw fit. Mr.. Grit
fifth feared that unless the United
States was drawn into the struggle
the picure would be failure and hes
lIdI6u W dSSCPb lhS SObiiiooioi, 90
it might, at the same time, jeopardize
the neutrality of his own nation. Then
came the first of the diabolical gas at
tacks at Ypres; deadly clouds of poi
son gas were released toward the I'M
suspecting Canadians; men in whom
the sporting instinct lived even in that
land of blood and m I'd, and would sac
rifce their lives rather than take an
unfair advantage of their foe. Thou
sands were struck dead in their tracks
while those who survived an immedi-
ate death suffered untold tortures. Mr..
Griffith at once took up the production
of the picure that is now the one out
standing sensation of screendom. All
who have seeh this masterpiece agree
that Hearts of the World" is the epic
of the present war and that its spirit
is what dominates the Allies today.
Hearts of the World" is now play
ing twice daily, at tie American
Theatre, st. Louis, and every man,
woman and child with drop of pa
triotic blood in their veins should wit
ness it. The story will serve to in
crease their faith in their country and
glory of upright valorous manhood.

The cabarets will be dealt a mortal

Some of the cafe men are beginning
to conserve their stocks. They figure
on getting big compensation from
those who will become private consum-
ers.
One of them, the generous kind
said yesterday, "Come down to my
cellar and I'LL show you some stock.
When we got below decks, he pointed
out more than fifty-seven varieties of
wine.
"That's all mine. It'll bring me
lots of dough. It's all mine and all
wine. Can you beat it?'
A rat derted out from behind bar
rel. Tic writer took kick at it and
almost fell down.
Don't do that" yelled the cafe own
err, " he's mine too"
Then he showed other kegs of cpar-
king wine in the rear of the spacious
cellar. There were crates of cham
payne and bottles of the choicest
French wine. After giving the place
glance of appreciation we went up
stairs again. "You'd love the taste
of any one of those wines, said our
friend.
Then he stopped at the bar and cal
ling the bartender, said, "Boy, let's
have two glasses of beer."-St. Lou

MISSOURI WILL
RAISE MORE WHEAT

"Over the top" in wheat acreage is
the goal set by the patriotic Missouri
farmers, and to reach it they must
plant an acreage thirteen per cent
greater than that harvested in 1918.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has assigned this increas-
ed production of bread stuff to Mis-
souri, after a careful study of the
worlds food needs for 1919.
Reports received by the UNIVERSE
ty of Missouri College of Agriculture
from school-district clerks, county ag-
ricultural agents and farmers indi-
cate that every farmer named, and in
many counties which have reported
the per cent of increase is going to be
we'll over the thirteen asked.
This fact, however, should in no
wise be construed as a reason for
slowing down in effort. Every county,
every school district, and in fact ev-
cry farmer should consider himself in-
dividually responsible to see to it, if
humanity possible, that his farm, his
school district and lastly his county,
does its full share.
Several factors are considered in
consigning a definite program of in
creased acreage to a county. Such
factors as natural adaptation to
wheat, total acreage of cultivated
land, per cent of cultivated land in
wheat, per cent in crease of the 1918
crop over that harvested in 1917, mar
keting facilities and natural adapta-
ton Of other essential crops were all
considered and therefore a variation
was made in the percentage assigned
the different counties. The total in
crease asked for the State will be met
if each county will plant the acreage
designated by the chairman of the
county council of defense.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
ESTABLISHED IN 1861

The effort to separate Liberty Bond
holders not familiar with stock and
bond values from their Liberty Bonds
has taken new turn. The manipu-
lators instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer in ex-
change for them the stocks and bonds
of various wildcat corporations, whose
face value is large but whose actual
value is little or nothing.
The safest investment in the world
is a Liberty Bond. For patriotic
American, Liberty Bonds are the best
investment in the world. 1t is not on
ly wise thing to hold them it is a
patriotic thing to do. The soldier that
takes a trench and then voluntarily
gives it up is not to be compared with
one who takes trench and holds it
against the enemy. An American who
buys Liberty Bond and then sells it
is not so good an American as one who
buys a bond and holds it. This does
not apply, however, to one who sells
his bond because of real necessity;
there is legitimate trading in Liberty
Bonds which the Treasury recognizes.
1t was wise and patriotic old COL
ored American who refused to sell his
$500 Liberty Bond for 500, because he
would not give up the United States
promise (his bond) to pay him 800
with interest for the United States
promise (currence) to pay him 500,
and who refused to sell the same bond
for $102, because, he said, that the
$102 must be counterfeit or else the
would-be purchaser would not be will
ling to give it for only $500. 1t is safe
to say that there are no gold bricks
or wildcat securities among that
Americans assets.
