No Beavers Arc Caught.

The Country Boy set his steel trap
in a splendid place at Mirror Pond.
And he grinned as he stuck up a
stick over his trap with some nice
bait, so hat the Beavers, in trying to
eat the bait, would get caught in his
steel trap.
The trap was covered cieverly by
the green, wet moss, And then the
Country Boy returned to his camp
and said to the men, "Ill get a Bea-
yer tonight, for I'm sure I set my
trap in just the very spot to fool the
Beavers"
Now. the Country Boy could
scarcely sleep that night; and when
he did sleep. he dreamed Of selling
very many beautiful Beaver skins,
and getting lots and lots Of money.
He awoke very early next morning,
dressed quickly, and ran most Of the
way to Mirror Pond. When he got
near the dam, he was painting for
breath, but he could see hat his steel
trap was sprung! And he was
awfully excited, because he could see
something brown in his trap!
He ran to the trap to get his Bea-
Yer. And what do you suppose he
found? He found the tail-feathers of
a foolish DUCK! He was terribly dis
appointed. You see, a Wild Duck
had been swimming around Mirror
Pond in the night and he smelled thai
bait, and had hoped out on the dam
to eat the bait. And when he was
reaching up to get the bait. his tail
caught in the trap and sprung the
strong, steel jaws!
And Mr.. Foolish Duck lost his pref
ty tail-feathers in the Trap. Now
all the Beavers had seen and heard
the Country Boy setting his trap; and
they had laughed and laughed. And
Father Beaver had said to his chill
dren, "Now, whenever you see any
t~wo-legged creature like that Bo,
around the dam. you be careful-fol
he's sure to be up to some mischief

The Sigma Alpha Iota sorority pre-
sented Miss Adelaide Okell of Wesley
conservatory, in a lecture recital at
the First Methodist church last night.
The subject was Edward Mac
Dowell,' the great American compos-
ed among MacDowelTs close friends,
gave an interesting picture of his life,
and musical affairs.
In illustrating her lecture, Miss
Okell played some of .MacDowelTs
shorter compositions, and in closing,
gave the Sonata Tragica," one of
the composers finest offerings to the
musical world. -
Miss Okell referred to the de-
plorable lack of knowledge of Mac
Dowell hat there is in this, his own
country. She stated that it was to be
regretted that even among the deep
students of music, in America, Mac
Dowell is not studied or played, while
abroad, particularly in Germany. he
is widely known, and his music is
classed as among the greatest of its
time.
"MacDowell was purely a roman
ticist: he stands alone and in striking
contrast to the modern composers"
said Miss Okell. H had a marvel
Gus mind-sensitive and poetic-and
exquisitely tuned to the beautiful
things in life," she continued, land

beauty Of his compositions.
In illustrating his clarity of tone
and directness Of thought. Miss Okell
played a little group of Sea pieces

The others making up this group
were 1920" Starlight" and a "Sailor
Song" Two later numbers which
Miss Okell played were the Deserted
FARM and a Scotch POEM" The
latter was a %,favorite Of the compos
er's and Miss Okell had frequently
heard him play it.
The Sonata Tragica was played az
a conclusion to the program, and in
this as in everything that she play

THE NEW BOOKS
"The JerYaise COmedy.c

]. B. Beresford's book is just what
its title implies-a comedy that will
interest and amuse the readers
through its situations and that will de-
light them because of the charm with
which it is told.
"The Jervaise Comedy" is the story
of young dramatist who, making a
visit with people he barely knows
suddenly finds himself. involved, first
as an onlooker and later as a partici-
pant, in planned but only half-ex-
ecuted elopement. The incidents lead
ing up to the elopement and following
it are narrated with spirit and the
love story of the dramatist and the
sister of the male eloper is handled
with skill.

that the government is helping the
brewers and distillers to make mil
lions. If the government does not re-
move some of the restrictions and pro-
vide a better supply of beer, there is
going to be serious trouble"
The "beer revolt" is spreading all
over the country, particularly in the
working districts of Lancashire and
Yorkshire.
The trouble arises over the action Of
the government in limiting the output
of intoxicants, and reducing the gravi-
ty Of all beer brewed in Great Britain.
The Liquor Control Board was insti-
tuted at the beginning Of 1916, when
drastic restrictions were admittedly
Inecessitated by war demands on labor
and food supplies. Saloon-keepers
were drastically rationed with a per-
|centage of their former supplies. A
special government ale" of lower
gravity, to be retailed at lower price,
was sanctioned, but this was never
liked, and increased taxation COM
PEELED retailers and brewers to raise
prices on other grades. Before the
war glass-half-pint-of common ale
could be obtained for two cents or
three cents, while better class "bitter"
or "stout" cost four cents per half
pint, or seven cents a pint if retailed
for consumption off the premises.
Even with post-armistice reductions
these price are more than doubled.

REJECT THE ALLIANCE

We do not think there is sufficiently
good reason why the United States
should bind itself in an alliance with
France and Great Britain for the pro-
lection of France against unprovoked
aggression by Germany.
At present there is no possibility of
Germany attacking France because
she was not the power. Lloyd George
said the other day that "the German
army now is inadequate to disturb the
peace of her feeblest neighbors." If
Germany through some unforeseen ac-
cident could mobilize enough power to
threaten the safety of France, would
not the United States without formal
treaty come again to the assistance of
the French as she did in the war just
closed?
To form such compact with Great
Britain and France might imply a lack
of confidence in the efficacy of the
League of Nations, for by the provi-
sions of the League, if any country is
attacked without proyocation by an
ether country all the members of the
League are pledged to come to the as
sistance of the threatened nation. No
step ought to be taken by countries al
ready in the League to weaken the
faith of other nations in the covenant

"a GREATER SALVATION ARMY

The Salvation Army is making great
strides of progress. Previous to the
war, although its work among the poor
was highly valuable, it had the gen.
uine confidence of only few people.
The housewife was willing enough to
unload her old newspapers, magazines
and furniture on the house to house
canvasser, the business men occasion
ally dropped coin in the bucket on
the street corner, but further than that
it received little support.
But during the war it showed new
strength. 1t worked side by side with
the Y.M.C.A. and the Knights of Co.
lumbus, and under many discouraging
obstacles held its own. Its personal
intercourse work with the boys in the
trenches was unexcelled. Every re-
turned soldier is glad to say word of
approval for the Salvation Army work
ers. Men and women alike, they were
the bravest of the brave.
Another step in the progress of the
organization has now been taken-the
old tambourine method of solicitation
has been abandoned. A nationwide
drive for funds by subscription has
been launched. 1t is a modest drive
compared with other popular subscrip-
tions. 1t has been carefully worked
out, a comprehensive program for
peace time work is planned, and if the
drive proves successful as it should
the Salvation Army will gain even
higher respect.

To the Editor of the Missourian: ::
The Japan Advertiser, being the larg-
est and most important paper of the
Orient, covers all the news of the
world. We believe, however, that The
Evening Missourian covers Columbia
and Boone County better than the Ad-
vertiser-course that is our personal
opinion. We believe it strong enough
to enclose doubtful check for $3.50
representing 9 hard-earned yen) and
we demand that you send us that
much worth of Evening Missourian.
Columbia, Missouri is better known
(both in quality and quantity in Jap
an than Kansas City, st. Louis or
any other Missouri village. Columbia
probably owes much of it's prosperity
to the publicity work of University
students in Japan. When you men
ton Missouri to Japanese he gen.
orally says, ooh, yes, Missouri is a
part of Columbia, isn't it?" ST. Louis
is generally considered suburb of
Columbia, and Kansas City is merely
a place where Columbians change
trains when they come to Japan.

every day; forty Missourians are
waiting for it.

China, Japan and Siberia; and cour-
ier leaves every third day for Wash
ington.
The couriers in every case travel in
the most expeditions way, by airplane,
motorcycle, train or ship
The value of this great courier sys-
TEN is that the diplomatic corps and
the army are able to keep in touch
with all accessible parts of Europe
and Asia, do not have to place full de-
pendence on the telegraph and cable
and may conduct long, confidential
correspondence.
Some of the couriers carry embassy
pouches. The American diplomatic
corps had a pouch service before the
war, but most of their routes have
been taken over by the armed messen-
gers of the A E. F., and the whole
courier service has been placed under
Major Amos ]. Peaslee, U. S. A., di-
rector.
1t is now the policy in the courier
service to permit an occasional shift
of men and officers on various routes
so that all may enjoy the advantages
of travel. The couriers usually have
a day of rest after short journey,
and several days after the longer
trips. This permits much valuable
sightseeing in interesting corners of
the world.
