DO YOU YAWN AT CONCERTS?
II So, There is Reason, Which b.
Thus Explained by Modern
Song Writer.

If a person yawns during SYM
phony concert and twists his program
instead Of being absorbed in classical
music it may not be his fault. 1t may
be due to an undevelOped pituitary
body, which is located in the brain,
back Of the temples.
This is according to Cyril Scott, the
song writer, in his "The Philosophy
of Modernism in Connection With
Music" Mr.. Scott says that this pitu-
itary body is highly susceptible to mu-
steal vibrations, if normally developed.
In other words, 1t is the seat of the
emotions. He goes further and adds
that it is the seat Of the astral or sub
limal self. This is in keeping with
the theory Of the anclents that this
gland is the seat of the soul.
In commenting on Mr.. Scott's state
ment, Medicine and Surgery Magazine
says:
"At a time like this when the pitu-
itary body Is the paramount topic of
conversation in medical circles on ac-
count of its influence on our under
weight or overweight, Cyril SCOTS
message in regard to its attitude to-
ward music should give us pause. The
faulty pituitary body can be corrected
no doubt, by treatment; made super
sensitive and vibrant; thus person
Indifferent to music may become highly
appreciative to it."

OV ERHAUL THE
FARM TRACTOR NOW

Until now, the farm tractor has
probably been kept rather busy with
fall blowing and especially belt work
during the last month, but the rush is
over. A thorough overhauling from
stem to stern is a most necessary OPP
Grafton before the tractor is put to
work again. This will be an easy job
now compared to what it will be next
spring, warns f. A. Nickel of the
University Of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. There will he no rusty
bolts and corroded joints and gaskets
but there will be if the tractor is al
lowed to stand over winter before the
work is done.
The whole motor should be gone
over; valves ground, all bearings well
cleaned. All necessary repair parts
should be ordered now, and put into
place as soon as they arrive. The man
who does this work on his tractor now
will have the satisfaction Of being
among the first out in the field next
spring, while the man who puts it off
will have the hard job of fitting out
when he should be blowing. Keep the
tractor up to high point of eff,
cheney by putting in the proper amount
of work on it at the right time. The
time is now.

Allies here the terrors Of this war than

mans held the hills to the east of the

pied the low-lying fields between the
hills and the city. For them dugouts
or deep trenches were out of the ques-
ton as the land is but little above
sea level. And here, in what is almost
marsh, the British TOmmies lay

summer, fair target for the Boche
guns on the nearby hills.

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL
STATE CORN SHOW

The Liberty Corn Show, which will
be held in Columbia January 1924,
1919, promises to be an exceptionally
good show from the standpoint of
quality of grain on display. This is
the sixteenth annual show of the Mis-
souri, State Corn Growers AssOcia-
ton. Liberal premiums in the form
Of War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps will be given. In addition,
beautiful silver trophies and gold
watches will be awarded as sweep
stakes and champion prizes. The pre-
MUM list is free and it can be OBJ
tanned by writing to j. {. Hackleman,
Secretary. University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.
Every Missouri farmer who has
good corn, oats, soybeans or wheat,
Should arrange to send his grain to
Columbia, not only because it will
make this a larger and better show,
but since the show is purely educa-
tional the greater the collection Of
grain the more valuable the lessons
taught. Competition is not limited to
men alone, but boys below the ages Of
is years may enter the junior class.
Excellent prizes are offered for the
boys grain, and boys who have a sup
ply of good corn will make no mistake
If they send it to Columbia.

USE DAT STRAW
IN WORK RATION

Mature farm horses and mules, do
ing the light team work required in
the winter months, can be maintained
on "A ration that includes oat straw in
place of hay. This was demonstrated
in feeding test at the University OF
Missouri College of Agriculture last
winter. Eight head of purebred and
grade Percherons, averaging l439
pounds, were fed for six weeks on a
ration in which the roughncss was oat
straw. The average daily ration was;
Corn and cob meal, 14.77 pounds; lin
seed oil meal, 1.67 pounds; and oat
straw, 14.34 pounds. The horses were
at light work five and half hours
daily. At the end of the six weeks
the horses averaged 1415 pounds, a
loss of "a pounds. "These horses
were in sufficiently good flesh at the
close of this test to go into the heavy
work of spring." says E. A. Trow-
bridge, Sin fact, they were in much
better condition than are horses and
mules on good many farms when
they go into spring work"
In order to make comparison of oat
straw and timothy hay, the same
horses were fed for three weeks on
this ration, following the first test;
Corn and cob meal, 1912 pounds; lin
seed oil meal, 1893 pounds; mixed
clover and timothy hay, 1872 pounds
At the close of the period the horses,
which had been worked an average OF
So hours daily, weighed 1404 pounds
showing an average loss of II pounds
1t is evident that there was no great
difference in the feeding value of the
oat straw and the hay used.

The Army of the Future.

The vaedictory issue of "The Stars and
Stripes" which was the special publication OF
our soldiers with the American expeditionary
forces in France, makes some pertinent obser-
vations with reference to our army of the fu-
ture. Assuming that America must maintain
a standing army of some size, it urges that the
influence of the men who have returned to civil
life after active service, should bring about
changes in conditions which they accepted
without protest under stress of war, but which
in time of peace make the life of the soldier
unattractive if not intolerable.
The army of America, it Declares should be
something better than the one in which, good
as it had always shown itself to be- the Anleri-
can public showed so little interest before the
war. Reference is made to regulations under
which the A. E. F. chafed and swore and lied
and evaded, the old poppy-cock of addressing
officers only in the third person which died
early in the game, defects of the summary
court, the system that made it possible for
some officers literally to "hold up" their men
and force them to do this or that for their
own credit, adding, "ip short, there is quite
bit of foundation for the thread-bare irony Of
the next war will be for officers only"
1t is only fair to say that the blame for OBJ
jectionable conditions is not charged against
those responsible for the army as it was, but
against the army system as direct descendant
of the army of George Washington and a copy
of the old world armies, in which officers
commissions went by inheritance like titles of
nobility or were bought and sold and the
private soldier regarded merely as a vassal OF
the king or serf of the overload entitled to
treatment accordingly. While reforms and or
ganization of our American army have been
in the direction of improvement, much was by
way of adaptation of efficiency standards that
were developing the efficiency of the Prussian
army the spirit Of which he have just shown
to be dangerous to our idea of democracy.
Everyone realizes that war cannot be
pink tea, nor can an army be serviceabe with
nothing but soft berths. There must be dis
cipline, recognition of authority and unques-
tioning obedience, but there need not be snob-
berry, caste, petty tyranny or neglect Of the
comforts Of the men. If the has lessons
in it for US, there is no good reason why the
American army of the future should not answer
the present demand that it be so constituted
that the youth Of the nation would be willing
and eager to serve in it with hands held high
and feel no abrogation of their status, their
liberty in serving"

Obey the Law

In spite of the fact that the war-ti time pro-
hbtion law was enacted in falsehood and ex
lists in falsehood, it is law. Good people obey
laws, even when they are fool laws or bad
laws Upon such obedience rests civilization
and in such obedience rests the promise of i'm
provement in future lawmaking.
We have arrived at prohibition in the worst
possible way. 1t has come about. not through
the expression of the popular will, but by i'm
position of a determined, we'll organized and
none too scrupulous minority. Our present
prohibition stage as represented by the war
time act is of course, nothing more than an
achievement of deceit, evasion and bulldozng.
Nevertheless we have arrived at prohibition.
We shall have temporary alienation of the
condition a little 1ater-which is unfortunate
but after January 10, we shall be dry in real
earnest. Prohibition is the law. Good citizens
will abide within the law.
Meanwhile our interesting congress strug-
giles with the problem Of deciding what is an
intoxicant. 1t forgot to do that while it was
stampeding, or being stampeded, through the
prohibition legislation. 1t is trying to arrange
the matter now. Hard liquor is doomed. That
is certain. But it is not yet certain it will be
impossible to get some Of the milder drinks
back on the civilized bill of fare 1t may be de-

MAKE THE TREATY EFFECTIVE.

No American, from the president down, will
object to having the peace treaty made plain
In its present form it is either ambiguous or i.
lays on this nation obligations we are not yet
ready to contract for. Especially does this
apply to the Monroe Doctrine, and to Article X.
Spokesman for the president assert that the
treaty preserves the Monroe doctrine in all its
purity and force. If that is true, no harm will
come from having it so clearly expressed. If
the other nations willing that this estab-
lished principle be recognized, they will give
assent to its being stated in terms that admit
of no other Interpretation.
Likewise, if Article X does not bind US
irrevocably and without appeal to employ SOL
ders as directed by the great council of the
League of Nations, it may we'll be explicitly so
stated.
Objection is not directed so much against
the league as it is to the uncertainty of the
language used in framing the covenant, which
may or may not mean what it says. Reserva-
tons suggested on behalf of the United States
only have to do with the preservation Of its
sovereignty, and are not intended to thwart the
purpose of establishing such concord between
the nations of the world as will serve to bring
about and preserve universal peace. Agreement
between the governments of the world to set
up tribunal before which questions that might
lead to war may be examined and disposed of
is not policy for America. This govern
nient from its very fundation has recognized
the principle of arbitration as a substitute for
armed conflict.
As has been stated again and again, the
senate would be faithless if it did not carefully
examine the treaty in all its details, and make
sure that it gives to America that assurance of
protection and limitation of obligation which
will preserve US in our rights as an independent
self-governing people.

Man of Trouble

What shall be done with William Hohenzol-
lern? Most persons answer by saying easily

Where shall he be put?
Holland does not want him. A German pa
per reports that William is Thoroughly un-
welcome" guest in Holland and that the Dutch
government will be relieved if he goes. But
where could he be sent? We have just learned
that St. Helena-little St. Helena, the island
that possesses experience in harboring emper-
ors out of jobs-is excited over the possibility
that he might be sent there. St. Helena does
not want him. And if St. Helena rebels, who
would take him?
There are some persons in Germany who
appear to wish him back. Why not let them
have their wish, first taking proper precautions?
The former emperor talked too much. By his
speeches he provoked hate against Germany
and added to German troubles, and brought on
strife. Why not restore him to Germany, but
with a muzzle? Wouldn't that please Holland
and ST. Helena and the German worshippers?
And wouldn't it punish William beyond any
thing else?-Buffa1o Express.

than If he had not lost them, would
seem to borne out by facts The
reason is that the heart normally

and that the fewer limbs a man pos

Farmers and Crop Report,

Omaha, Neb.. July Ito the
Editor of The Bee: I notice an
editorial in The Bee touching the
exaggerated early estimates on the
wheat crop of Nebraska, and their
revision to date
IhlS has occurred every year to a
greater or less degree since l have
made a study Of northumberland
keting conditions, ETC.
1t every year costs our farmers
millions. Usually the Department
OF Agriculture makes these revisions
later, just after the bulk Of the
wheat ls safely stored in the eleva-
tors OF the large grain concerns.
Everyone at all familiar with the
situation knew that the estimates
made, prior to July 1, were at least
so per cent above the actual, but
the farmer, whose field of observa-
ton is limited, simply assumes that
he is out Of luck; that crops in his
locality are much smaller than else
where; and, therefore, rushes his
grain to market for fear Of slump
This sort of thing, Of course. is very
profitable to the grain combination,
as they keep crop experts, who
make much closer estimates, and
thus take advantage of the situation.
