 The case of Missouri is one of high significance. Without the slightest
 reflection upon Mir. Baker, his success ful rival, of whom we hear only good things, the fact remains that MT. Larpkin was universally respected and admired professionally as he was personally. No class of people in Missouri was opposed to him or to his policies. No State Department of Education from Maine to Oregon was more progressive in educational act ivities than he.
 EdueationalIy he was so strong that while the head of the ticket in the November election lacked 36,- 6s1 of winning, MT. Lampkin lacked only 1,11o.
 Educational efficiency netted Mir. Lampkin a5.571 votes. What was the trouble? As he was nominated by the Democratic paorty he had to make Democratic speech at the convention. He had to go upon the "stump" as Democrat and he had to usn his personal and professional popularity to the utmost for the good of his party
 Inevitably those who sought the , success CT the Republican ticket, especially those Of St. Louis and Kansas City, where the efficiency of state superintendent is not known or cared for, did all in their power to defeat the whole Democratic ticket. When the 1tate superntendency Is in the party politics the states super ntendent must stand by his party, must be willing to stand or fall with his- narty. No one can expect educa. 'ional efficiency. be it ever so great, 70 win when the eppea is to party politics.
 :. if West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Washinoton, Montana, Ne. .e state auperntendency from party politics America will be great white way educationnaIly.
 Let US hope that a campaign can be waued successfully along this line.

Watchful eye of the German officials
 "AI that the army grew it took for itself, and half of the crops which it had cultivated with the peasants. Then it Bought" most of the remain ing crop, and raid for it with promis- sorry notes, redeemabIe and payable after the war,-when Germany was to have won!
 "Every peasant-the old women, old men, mothers of families, boys and girls over tweIve,-had to work a certain number of hours a day for the German army. They worked at the crops, cut wood, washed clothes, dug trenches or sewed sand-bags. Each had book to keep a record of his weekly work, and if he or she had not done enough, there was fioging, Imprisonment, or even deportation in Germany to work in the munition factories or the mines.
 "The Germans kept record of all the fruit trees, cows, hens, and even eggs. and the peasants had to suffer if they did not have the expected num- Der to "sell" to the army.
 "Now that the invaders have been driven out and beaten, these poorpeo. pie are even worse off for food, be. cause the crops and orchards and animals were destroyed by the re. treating soldiers.
 "Can we say that we have suffered here? Voluntary saving, few simple regulations about using less sugar, less meat, and wheat substitutes,- that is all we were asked to do. The voluntary saving which the Food Ad ministration expects of us must con. tinue. But that will rot be hard task for the people of the United States, who now know what accomp. lishment means."-eulletin No. 1s2

THE DIFFERENCE
 IN HARDSHIPS

"lt seems to me-" said a Red Cross woman who recently returned from France, speaking at a club meeting. "that Aemriean women can not truth fully say that the food regulations have made housekeeping ny harder for them, but only that they are wiser and more efficient as result of them.
 Before l sailed last year had come difficulty getting my sugar, but it was only matter of little annoy. anee, aAd no real privation. Then when the Food Administration ailott. ed certain amount to everybody | managed beautifully, and learned for the first time about the sirups, and how they could be used in cooking and canning.
 "As for the war breads that we had to make in order to save wheat, Pm sure we all liked them; and less mea. in our diet was good for alIof US.
 "When ] arrived in France and was up near the front, and read stories from the women who had lived under the German military control in France and Belgium. then realized what food troubles really were. It made me very thankful that American wo- men could help these people after their liberation, and it was wonderful to think that by such small individual savings and substitutions at home we had saved the morale of the civilians behind the armies, so that they did not "break",as the German civilians did.
 "If ever you should find yourselves complaining about what you have had to do in the past year. or about the conservation program that you have to keep up until Europe is in order again and our army comes home, think how you would like to have been in situations like these:
 Sixty yercent of the wheat fields in the parts of France and Belgium under German control for so long were cultivated by the German army i itself, twenty percent by the army and the peasants together, and the remaining twenty per1snt by the peasants for themselves, under the
