ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-William r.
Compton, federal director of war loans
for the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, has been definitely advised by
the SECRETARY of the Treasury that the
Victory Liberty Loan Campaign will
begin not later than April 81. This is
in response to recently published re-
ports that there would be no more
Liberty Loans.
The form and terms of the securi-
ties to be issued remain to be deter
mined, but it is essential that the wild

be realized, says Compton. This will
necessitate a campaign of the same

CONTESTANTS DROPPING OUT
Nebraska and Washington Universities
Will Not Enter OratOricaI Contest.

The number of contestants in the
Missouri Valley Oratorical Contest,
which will be held here March q, has
been reduced to four, it was announc-
ed today by Robert NJ Dewey, instruc-
tor in English. Word has been re-
ceived from both Washington Univer-
sity and the University of Nebraska
that partly because of the loss of time
earlier in the year caused by war con-
ditiOns, neither institution will take
part in the contest this year. Both,
however, intend to compete again next
year.
No word has been received from
the University of Kansas, a fact
which is taken to mean that Kansas
does not intend to enter the contest.
The preliminary contest which will
be held in the University Auditorium,
Monday evening. March 8, promises to
be spirited affair as several of the
best speakers among the undergrad
yates have indicated their intentions
of trying out. This number includes

France.
Miss Aurilla Brigham. a student in
the University, told of some of her

said that the thing she remembered
most was that no one ever had to hur-

Expenses to Be Paid.
Another bill is in Congress which
enables students who are working
their way through school to enlist in
the RO.T.C. for four years and have
all their expenses paid. If student
did this he would not only get his
board, lodging and tuition paid, but
he would also draw a privates pay

would help with the equipment here,

their academic work. This plan would
enable students to attend college who

EXTENSION WORK NORMAL
Three.FOurth States I'm UniOn-10O
Counties i'm Missouri Representafed.

Counties in Missouri Representafed.
Three-fourths of the states in the
Union are represented in the enroll
ment of students in the University of
Missouri Extension Division. Out of
the ia counties in Missouri, 100 are
represented.
The largest number of correspond
ence courses taken in one year was
between June /, 1917 and June l, 1918.
This was due to the fact that the Ex-
tension Division allowed students to
take more than one course of study
for that year Nearly two-thirds of
the students were women.
The work this year is normal, with
an enrolment of nearly 600 students
taking about 700 courses.
Practically all the departments in
the College of Arts and Science and
School of Education offer courses.
Professional schools as a rule do not
offer courses, except preparatory work.
Two extension centers were formed
this year: one in Kansas City and
the other in Clinton. Speakers are
sent to these centers to give series
of educational lectures, principally
for the benefit of the teachers at those
places, although the public is invited
to attend. President A. Ross Hill
of the University will lecture in Kan
sas City sometime this spring, and
Prof. F. F. STEPHENS of the history
department will speak this term of the
social and industrial history of the
United States, in Clinton.

was started in 1910.

CINCH BUGS GAINING
HEADwAY IN OHIO

Cineh bugs are reported TO be in
crsasing rapidly in western and
southern counties Of Ohio, according
to the Department of Entomology
at the Ohio Experiment Station.
Eniomologists state that hot and
dry weather which favors develop
ment of cinch bugs is responsible
for their Numbers at the present time
and that they will probably spread
over the greater part Of Ohio unless
prevented by wet weather conditions.
Experimental tests in controlling
cinch bugs show that the insects mi
CRATE from the wheat into the corn
fields as soon as the wheat is cut.
Good barriers are made by making a
furrow into which hay or straw is
placed. Then a thin line of cresote
or tar or crude oil is poured onto
the straw and keeps the insects from
travelling into a green field.
Barriers between stubble fields and
corn fields so constructed have been
found effective in controlling chinch
bugs. When corn fields have become
partly infested the line of infestation
should be separated from the unin-
Tested part with the barrier and the
infested corn then sprayed with
kerosene emulsion diluted with 1C
parts of water or nicotine sulphatt
solution diluted with 500 parts OF
water to kill the brood in that place
To each 100 gallons of the dilutei
nicotine spray add pounds of dis
solved soap. Northeastern Ohio ha'
never been excessively infested.
