GARDENING AS A HOBBY

Not many years ago any man was
called industrious who had a big
wood pile back of his house. Today
a man is adjudged thrifty who has a
good garden in his back lot. 1t affords
him amusement and healthful recrea-
tion and it supplies his family table
with vegetables.
Gardening is a cheaper form of di-
version than golf, tennis or clubs. The
city man can, if he understands gar
dening, raise enough vegetables on a
back lot to feed his family all summer
long and put away enough potatoes,
corn, peas, beans and tomatoes to last
most of the winter.
Gardening often results in sun
burned arms and blistered necks to
those who pursue the work in the heat
of the day without proper protection.
But that only marks the victim as a
martyr in the cause, as broken bone
often makes a hero of some gridiron
favOrite. Either a sunburned neck or
broken collar bone provokes ques-
tiOns which the enthusiastic gardner
or the enthusiastic football player is
fattered to answer
Gardening is more enjoyable as an
avocation than as a vocation. That is,
a man enjoys gardening as a hobby
whereas, if his living depended upon
it. such work would seem drudgery to
him.
The man who goes into gardening as
hobby sees all the poetry in it. while
the man who goes into it as business
often sees only the hard work.
The greatest enemy to amateur gar

THE OPEN COLUMN
For a Columbia Park.

Editor the Missourian: Every town
needs a number of things to make it
the best town in the world, and Co.
lumbia is no exception; but most of
all Columbia needs a park-a place
where children and grown-ups can
sit on the grass or an benches and,
enjoying the out-of-doOrs, watch their
fellowmen go by.
And Columbia needs a park for the
stranger within its gates, where he
may spend a quiet Sunday afternoon
or evening away from a hot hotel
room.
There are a number of possible
sites for a park close to the down.
town section in Columbia Some of
them are now occupied by disgraceful
buildings, and the wrecking of those
buildings would alone add beauty to
the town.
The secret of every towns success
is what it gives to the public. Farm
ers come to Columbia on Saturday.
They congregate on the street corn
ers, stand in the hot sun, and are
pushed and tossed about by people who
hurry up and down the streets. A
park would give them a place to go
and rest when they have finished their
trading in town-would turn their
trip to town into holiday, and there
would be more trips to Columbia, and
fewer to Centralia, Moberly, and the
smaller surrounding towns.
Columbia owes herself a park, and
she owes her visitors park. Why
not a park? H.

1t is more to the interests of Co
lumbia merchants to take measures to
increase the enrolment of the Uni
versity than it is to the interests OF
the University itself. Every student
who attends the University costs the
state 5000 year. He brings more than
that amount to invest with Columbia

THAT TAX ON FOOD

Much effort is now being exerteG to
bring about a repeal of the section of
the new revenue act which calls for
a tax of 10 per cent on all soft drinks,
ice cream sodas, sundaes and other
similar articles of food and drink.
There is a great deal of justification
in this request for its repeal, when we
consider the popularity of ice cream as
a food.
This tax is nothing less than a tax
on the daily meals of a great number
Of persons who take their luncheons
at the soda fountains. This is also a
burden on many children whose great
est pleasure is an ice cream cone, a
soda or a dish of ice cream.
1t is a little unfair in that hotels
and restaurants are not required to
pay the tax on ice cream when served
to their patrons. Many soda fountains
have regular customers who go there
for their lunches.
The final criticism of the tax is that
it is clumsy and unbusinesslike
method of raising revenue. 1t is an
annoying and an inconvenient tax to
collect and unnecessarily expensive to
the government for the amount of rev.
enue secured.
Surely with all the sources of in
come which the government has at its
command, there is a better place to
levy a tax.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 4. - The
overnight announcement that the rail-
road administration would not accept
tie recently agreed upon prices for
steel as the basis for placing new or
ders for supplies and thus lead tho
hoped.for buying movement in the in
dustry, was credited with the sharp re-
action which occurred in Steel COM
mon at the opening Of the New York
stock market yesterday. In the early
dealings the price declined to SO. The
recovery to 80 was based upon a re-
port from Washington that the indus
trial board would not attempt to modi-
~ the price agreement, but an effort
would be made to change the attitude
of Director OF Railroads Hines. In the
late session, however, Steel common
sold of to 971s and closed virtually at
the lowest, which represented a loss
81 points, Curiously enough the
shares oE the railroads and other con-
snmefs OF steel we're not favorably at

OHIO GOES DRY

Columbus, Ohio, May 24.-Ohio
tonight threw her hat into the pro-
hibition ring, although constitutional
prohibition does not become effective
until next Tuesday, all but 163 of the
$500 saloons in the state quit busi-
ness tonight at midnight rather than
to pay the $305 license in order to
keep open next Monday.
Every wet city in the state tonight
gave farewell" parties to John Bar
leycorn. Some saloons closed their
doors early rather than attempt to
weather the closing festivities.
As the closing hour drew near,
some bars auctioned off their remain
ing stock. The lend" found many
bars completely sold out. Prevailing
high prices did not tumble until near
mirnight.
Only few of the larger hotel bars
and saloons in the bigger cities will
open Monday.
A number of saloons closed tonight
will reopen Monday or some time in
the near future as soft drink bars
and restaurants. Most of them will
retain their saloon fixtures. Many
of the breweries will manufacture
ice and go into the cold storage busi-
ness.
The biggest saloon in the world
located in. Bridgeport, Ohio, will not
close its doors until Monday Midnight.
1t is owned by Samuel Ungerlaider
and employs n bar tenders and clerks.
For the last four years it has sold an
average of 10000 drinks a day.
Ohio is the biggest prohibition
state in the country. The state was
voted dry on last November A by a
majority of more than $4,000.

In n message expressing his own
and the queens sympathy and condo
lence, King George on Saturday eX-
pressed his fear that Hawker had lost
his life. He added:
IL feel that the nation has lost one
of its most able and daring pilots and
that he sacrificed his life for the fame
and honor of British flying.
An official statement confirming
news dispatches Of the rescue of
Hawker, and Lieutenant Commander
Gricye was issued tonight. 1t said:
Harry G. Hawkcr and Lieut.. Com
mander Grieve We're rescued in lati-
