HOLD ON!

We say that the war is over, but
We mean only that the fighting has
stopped. Peace has not been made
and we are still having to meet large
financial obligations.
Can we be at peace with ourselves
if we shirk our responsibility in
meeting those obligations. Many of
us are selling our Government bonds
in order that we may put our money
into better paying investments or so
that we can have more for luxuries.
We should think and reason wisely
before doing this. Uncle Sam still
needs our money. If he did not we may
be sure that he would not be asking
for it.
Take a sane inventory of your per-
sonal assets and liabilities, and un-
less it is absolutely impossible, hold
on to your Government bonds. Don't
forsake the trust placed in you.

HOW ABOUT PACIFIC TRADE!

Why should the United States turn
all of her attention to trade on the
eastern coast and none to that on the
western? There are possibilities for a
development of commerce on the Pa
cific to equal that of the Atlantic
There is no encouragement from the
Government for a Pacific line. Legis-
lation has made it impracticable by
establishing rates of transportation
destructive to that commerce.
There should be no delay if the
United States wishes to take advan-
tage of this recent trade center which
European countries threaten to mono
police. Everything possible should be
done to promote the enterprise. Amer

FARMING ON BROADWAY

Columbia is the center of a rich agri.
cultural district; the farmers OF
Boone County produce much of heI
real wealth.
A commercial club is of value to the
community, but a commercial club
which does not number the farmers
among its members is only half eff
cient and is not truly representative
The farmers, banded with the mer-
chants of the city, will make an or
ganization of the full strength of one
of the richest counties in the Nation.
The Commercial Club offers great
rewards to its town members, but the
harvest to be gathered by the farmers
is just as great if they will only sow
the seed.

"Eating in Two or Three Languages

Eating in Two or Three Languag-
es,'' by Irwin S. Cobb, is a short hu-
morous story describing the food doled
out to him or thrust upon him in Eng
land and France and while at the
front with the French. British and
American armies. The writer vivid
ly describes his appetite after months
of sea-foods and war bread.
A witty account is given of lunch
con with the lord mayor of London,
at which good speeches were the chief
attraction. Then his attention is turn
ed to France, where in Paris, the
maitre dhotel offers only the expen-
sive lobster to satisfy his appetite.
Later he makes one grin with delight
over the story of why a French chef
cooked a colonel's lunch and dinner
and a southern negro got his break
fast
Every paragraph contains laugh
and one can easily visualize the portly
author trying to satisfy his American
appetite on soft-boiled eggs and red
wine.

SENIOR WOMEN REORGANIZE

The organization of senior women
of the University known as Alpha Phi
Sigma was abandoned at a meeting
yesterday afternoon in favor of a new
organization to be known merely as

taken in order that the nature and
motives of the organization may be
more easily recognized.
The president, Miss Alva Marie
Clay, was authorized to appoint a
committee to draft a new constitu-

joint meeting of senior and junior girls
sometime next week. The aim of the
the organization will be cooperation

MAKING SEED CORN SURVEY
Vocational Agriculture Students e.
ODerate With Farmers.

Students taking vocational agricul-
ture are investigating the soil and
crops of Boone County The work is
distributed in what is called pro
jects." Each student is assigned a
certain project which he has to cover.
One student takes all the territory
within a fOur-mile radius and visits
all the farms for the purpose of max
ing a survey of the amount and quail
ty of the seed corn. Others are as
signed to one farm where they make
rotations. Still others are testing soil
for lime and acidity, and testing the
amount of pure lime contained in
the limestone found here
Several farms have been visited in
the seed corn survey. Three kinds of
corn have been found so far. Reid
yellow dent seems to be the favorite,
while here and there can be found
sprinklings of Boone County white
and Johnson County white The farm
ers have very little seed corn this
year. Last ye. the chances for a big
corn crop were good until the extreme
heat burned up what would have been
a bumper crop. AS a result of the
draught last year, there is very little
seed corn to be had, and what little
there is, is not of very good quality.
Some farmers pick their seed corn
with great care, while others just pick
it at random from the crib. Some
sort it out as it is picked and store
away on shelves to dry, while others
pick it cut of the crib when planting
time comes. This naturally affects
the amount and quality of corn pro-
duced.
The purpose of the seed corn sur
vey is to determine whether it will
pay to test seed corn after an open
winter such as we have had. The
farmers are cooperating nicely with
the students in this work. In about
two or three weeks. the results of the
test will be sent to each farmer who
gave sample of his seed corn.

Round About

Charles Viles, 12-year-old son of
Professor and Mrs. Jonas Viles, is a
stamp collector. Assisted by his
brother. Jonas, and his father as the
senior member of the company. he has
collected more than $50 different
stamps in the last five months. They
have set their goal at 200O for this
year.
Both of the boys started collecting
at the same time. Charles says they
had to get their father to become
partner in the business, especially
when it came to settling heated argu-
ments as to which one had collected
the most
Charles makes his rounds every day.
From waste baskets, off the floors. on
the ground. anywhere he see a stamp
he picks it up. The library in the
School of Journalism supplies him
with many which are taken from tEe
wrappers of foreign papers received
there. He also trades with other col
lectors and through approval sheets
put out by stamp collecting companies.
Japanese stamps are his pride. He
has received a number of them around
Columbia and through approval sheets.
He has an album specially for his
stamps, which he treasures more than
all else. He collects both used and
unused stamps, and although he has
many of the same kind, he never stops
collecting them. He says he can trade !
them for other stamps which he does
not have.
Many people think there is nothing
to the stamp collecting business"
Charles said, but have learned about |
all the countries in the world and |
know what their stamps look like
you can learn lot about the world and |
then you have the fun of trying to get
more than any other fellow"
Charles confesses that sometimes
he and his brother have very loud ar
about who has collected the
most valuable stamps Sometimes"
he said. "our father has to come in as
the boss of the company and settle
the disputes"
