GOLD LOST TO THE WORLD
Destruction of Precious Metal Practi-
calIy Goes On Without Ceasing,
Either Day or Night.

Every ship that goes to the bottom
takes with her a certain amount of
gold. 1t may be only few pounds
worth or-as in the case of the ia
nous Lutlne-a million may be lost in
a minute.
Every fire that occurs means a de
struction of gold, and there is never a
minute, day or night, when scores of
human habitationS are not burning.
London alone has 2,400 fires yearly.
Besides all this, there is the matter
of boarding. In countries where banks
are not found in every town, the peo-
pie who have gold hide or bury it. In
many cases they die without reveal
ing the hiding place. In this way
India alone swallows up more than
100000 worth of gold yearly, China
more than this, while Africa is at pres
emit absorbing gold in this way at a
rate of more than a million pounds a
year. The money is paid as wages to
kaffir laborers at the mines, and by
them carried away to their kraaIs
whence it never returns.

FINALLY SUBDUE FOREST FIRE
Thousands of Volunteers Overcome
Conflagration Which Threatened
Overwhelming Destruction.

A forest fire that threatened in IL
days of unimpeded destruction, to con-
sumo the whole of Angeles national
forest, in southern California, was
finally brought under control by the
desperate efforts of hundreds of yolun-
teers. The unceremonious drafting OF
curiosity seekers swelled the ranks OF
the fighters until, in one district alone
around Pomona, more than 1000 were
working day and night TO stay the on
rushing flames. The kindling OF IRE
mendous back fires at critical points
guided by airplane inspection sue
ceeded in holding the fires within the
originating area. Many resorts ana

only a few cabins were lost. As re-

TOWN AND COUNTRY

W. HI. Stubblefeld Jr., of Cape Cir
ardeau, has written a letter calling at
tention to the forthcoming meeting of
the Federation of Missouri CONNER
cial Clubs in Jefferson City. In the
letter, which he addresses to all Mo.
boosters, zhe discusses the relations Of
town and country in way which ev-
erybody knows to be truthful, although
many fail to heed the logical conse-
quences of the truth. A portion of the
letter follows:
"Your town ought to control the
business of it's trade territory, but it
must be apparent to you that the mail
order houses are going over the top
to get the trade, not only from the
farmers in the vicinity of your town,
but to great extent from the citi-
zens in the very town in which you do
business.
think it over. 1t affects your
pocketbook.
Something must be done to bring
about common understanding and
real team work between the people
who live out on the farms and the
people who live in the cities and towns
OF this State.
"Instead of talking cooperation, let
think about service and go to work
in practical way to promote better
agriculture and more wholesome
community life.
at is about time for the business
men of Missouri to wake up to the
fact that the corner stone of business
is PRODUCTION, and that the real
production comes from the soil, the
mines-the waters and the forests.
The cities and towns of Missouri, as a
matter of fact, are merely transform
ling and distributing centers.
Manufacturers take raw ore or cot
ton and transform it into machinery
or cloth, and shoe manufacturers take
the hide and make the shoe. The
banks in your town, with all their re-
sources, don't productivity merely
handle money, make loans and ex-
change debts and credits.
SILK this fact in your mind. our
towns success depends upon the sue
cess of rural communities When
their production is low, your business
slumps. If it ceased, your manufac-
turers Transformers your jobbers
and merchants (distributors), would
be checking invoices with the Sheriff,
and your bankers debts and credits
would be worthless.
Alphabetically, Missouri is richly
endowed, and out of this endowment
have grown the great cities and towns
Town folks may well give pause now
and again to remember that the shoe
factories must close unless someone,
somewhere, will raise the herds that
yield the hides that make factories
possible, to remember that it's looms
must halt unless someone, somewhere,
will shear the sheep that yield the wool
that give them warp and wool; to re-
member that its industries of lumber
must look to the forests; of iron and
steel to the mines; of cloth to fields
of cotton and flax; of jewelry even to
the rocks and sands. 1t is well that
the folks who live in a city or town
should think now and again that no
part of it's work is possible unless its
toilers have first consumed break
fast produced on the farm"

MISSOURI UNIVERSITY SHORT
COURSE IN AGRICULTURE

1t is expected that there will be
very large enrolment in the Two Year
Winter Course this year and plans
are being made to make the course
this year stronger than it has been
in the past, according to E. II.
Hughes, superintendent of the Short
Course. Many who would have en-
tered the past two years are deciding
to come this fall. Still others who
have taken part of the work will re-
turn to complete the course.
Students who have taken work in
the Short Course are very enthusiast
tic about it. Few people in Missouri
realize what the Short Course is and
what it means to have men from
their community take up this work.
The two-year Winter Course was
organized at the University of Mis-
souri, in 1895 At that time there
were but few students enrolled and
Dean Mumford was the only instruct
or. The course has been changed con-
siderably since that time until now it
covers period of two winters, be-
ginning on or about November LIST and
closing on or before March 1st. Prac-
tically all the Experiment Station staff
are instructors in the Short Course
and it becomes necessary at times to
have additional instructors during the
time the Short Course students are
here.
Some of the subjects that are taught
in the Short Course are live stock pro-
duction, fertilization of soils, produc-
ton of pure bred seed, farm machin-
cry with special emphasis on gas en-
gines and tractors, dairy manufactur-
ing, various courses in horticul-
tural law. These are only a few of
the many things that are taught
Short-Course men and women.
During the fall there is a Short
Course in Home Economics given for
those students who are interested in
learning more about present day mil
inery, clothing problems, cooking,
home decoration, etc.
After Christmas is special course
given in Dairy Manufacturing. Stu
dents taking this course become
creamery operators, managers of
milk distributing plants, ice cream
manufacturers, etc,

THE WAR DEVELOPED
FOREIGN BORN

During the war ordeal millions of
men, women and children born abroad
have stood staunchly by the United
States. Their hearts, their service
and their dollars have proved their
loyalty again and again. While SEN
timental sympathy attached them to
the soil of their nativity, they chung
to the land where they had found
the liberty of their dreams.
Another duty and another opportun-
ity has come to these foreignborn
loyal millions to help uphold the gov
eminent of freedom. The War Saw
ings Stamps Campaign this year
affords a special chance for reiteration
or patriotic sacrifice and service.
The participation of the foreign born
in the nation wide purchases of these
stamps has a special significance.
Such purchase is particular incita-
ton to loyal help as contrasted with
the buying of Stamps by those native
to the United States. Naturally the
native should aid his government, but
the same aid by the foreign born
means a double devotion to the Stars
and Stripes in that it requires the alien
to tear asunder the times that bind
him to his berth soil.
The son of alien soil, through the
strength of every War Savings Stamp
purchased, becomes just as much an
integral part Of the national fabric
as the son of seven generations of
American birth. He is woven into the
national texture so closely and strong
ly, that the completed product of the
patriot loom reveals not where the ma
tive strand begins and the foreign
ends. Every War Savings Stamp in
the progress of purchase is another
movement of the governmental shut
tie in the hands of the Treasury weav-
err. Every alien-born who buys his
stamp is of equal fabric strength to
his native born brother.
The cost of the new stamp ranges
from $4.12 in January to $423 in De-
cember. The Government promises to
pay $500 for each stamp on January
/, 1924. This represents a return of
four per cent interest on the cost
compounded quarterly.
Governmental expense and govern
mental obligation mount high even
though the clash of arms has ceased
abroad. There is a tremendous out
lay necessary for the transportation
of hundreds of thousands of troops
from France to the United States.
There are social and economic neces-
sites at home requiring immense
sums. The sum to be raised from the
new War Stamp issue will be applied
toward meeting all these necessities.
The foreign-born purchasers of stamps
will give timely, loyal and efficient
aid to the Government of their adopt
ed land.

ROOSTER SELLING CONTEST

Perryville merchants are conducting
a Rooster Selling Contest as one of
the features of the drive to secure in
fertile eggs. A cash prize of SIS is
being offered to the person who brings
in the largest number Of roosters
during Rooster Week. Every bunch
Of ROSTERS will be carefully counted"
says Mr.. Alfred Raut, County Agent,
of Perry County; but he adds signifi-
cantly, mo questions will be asked
Lively competition is likely to develop
between the various ladies aid socie-
ties of the county to see which can
round up the biggest load of roost-
ers to compete for the prize. The in-
dications are that country ministers
who have been in the habit Of expec-
ting rooster for dinner on their visit
to country church members will have
to be satisfied with sausage or ham
after this drive is finished.

PULPITS WILL
PROCLAIM THRIFT

From every pulpit of whatever de-
nomination in Missouri, Arkansas
and Kentucky, and every other State
in the United States, will be read a
message to each congregation from
Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treas
ury of the United States.
Sunday, June %, has been officially
designated as Thrift Sunday, and
Harold Braddock, Director Of the
Savings Division of the Treasury De-
partment, has written a letter to each
pastor in the entire nation, request
ing them to lay before the members of
their congregations the personal and
patriotic reasons for perpetuating the
lessons of sane saving, wise spending
and safe investment, which the Amer
lean public learns through the self
sacrifice imposed by the war.
Responses to this request have been
general. Ministers of the gospel
were brought into closer touch with
their people during the war than was
ever possible before, and their lead
ership is more potent today than ever.
The subject of thrift is so vital, and
its qualifications so far-reaching, that
a sermon based on it is bound to APP
peal to each hearer. The war made
the people Of the entire world realize
that thrift is the cornerstone of the
nation, and that by practicing it any
thing is possible.
The Government is paying a tribute
to thrift by establishing War Savings
Organizations in each Federal Re-
serve District, with organizations in
each state, city and county, and with
millions of War Savings Societies in
factories, stores, churches, lodges and
societies everywhere.
The pastors have been furnished
material, gathered by Governmental
agencies, that they will be able to
use in drawing comparisons and pre-.
senting facts showing the need of ma.
tional thrift.
A feature Of the Thrift Sunday ser.
vice will be the reading by the pas.
tor Of the message direct from Secre.
tary Glass.
