Track Squad Shrinks
With Kansas Meet Near.

The three-term system has played
havoc with the Missouri track squad.
Three weeks ago there were lbs men
on the squad. The opening of the
spring term saw the squad shrink to
twenty-five men, and it looks as
though points will go begging at the
dual meet with Kansas Saturday be-
cause there are no Tigers to enter.
Brownlee is the latest track man
to leave. leaving a gap in the relay
team.
Sylvester, Lewis, Marshal, Barlow,
Edwards, Parker and Saville are the
only sure point winners on the squad
Schultz will take to Lawrence. His
other entries have not yet been de-
cided, but will probably include:
Goodwin, Blackburn, Minton and Van
Shepard
The Tigers have two other meets
after the Kansas meet-the Valley
Conference and the Western Cham
pionship-and Schultz is anxious to
develop new men for those events.
In the high jump and broad jump sec
tions he is especially short of mate
rial.
The relay race is again likely to be
the bone of contention when the Ii
gers and Jayhawkers meet at Law
renee. The quartet race looks like an
even break, for though the Missouri
team has twice been beaten by Kan
sas indoors this year, the Tigers ran
ahead of the Lawrence team a few
weeks ago at Drake, taking second to
Nebraska in close finish
Missouri had little trouble in taking
the indoor meet from the Jayhawkers
March q. Even after the Tigers lost
the much befouled relay. there was a
safe winning margin in their total
score. But the Tiger team which is
going to Lawrence this week is hardly
on a par with the team that ran in
Convention Hall two months ago.
Captain Bill Sylvester, who was in
better condition for the two indoor
meets than he has been this season,
is a problem. The Tiger captai2 has
not been in his championship form this
year, and it is up to him and Chuck
Lewis to win the meet How big a
share Lewis will do, depends on how

W. M. RAINEs SENDS PAPER
Former Law Student Is Only MissOu-
rian at Rennes, France.

"As You Were" an expression ia
miliar to every soldier, is the title of
weekly soldiers newspaper sent to
the Evening Missourian by Lieutenant
William NJ. Raines, a former law stu
dent in the University.
The paper is four-page one, and
is published at Rennes, France. where
Lieutenant Raines says he is the only
University of Missouri alumnus at
tending the army university there. He
writes that Americans attending the
different universities in France are
publishing small papers of their own,
much like the one he sent. School and
military news is carried in the publi-
cations.

good shape he is in Saturday after
noon.
To Haddock of Kansas will un-
sdoubtedly go first place in both the
dashes, but Sylvester should get sec
ond in this event. The Tigers should
make the quarter-mile safe, and
should place in the half and the mile.
The two-mile run will probably be
toss-up between Missouri and Kan
sas.
Lewis will doubtless capture the
weights, and the high jump, with sec
ond place problem. The broad jump
is a certain Kansas prize, but Missouri
can count on the pole-vault

Many people look upon Bolshevism
and Socialism as synonymous terms
but this is unfair to a large per cent
of sane-minded Americans who be-
long to the Socialist party. John

Socialists of this country, has re-
Gently issued book on "Bolshevism, -
in which he solemnly warns the world
that Bolshevism is the enemy of So

THE SOLDIER AND THE LAND

With the rehabilitation of its A.
100000 soldiers and hundreds OF
thousands of war workers the United
States faces tremendous problem of
readjustment. With the signing of
the armistice the demand for the
products of hundred of thousands of
workers in war industries ceased
overnight. The Nation and the world
had schooled themselves for four
years to abjure many of the luxuries
of peace, and there was no new de-
mand for production to which these
war workers might have transferred
their efforts. Many were thrown out
of work and the labor problem be-
came an acute unemployment prob
lem.
Then the discharge of men from ma
tional service began, and the unem-
ployment problem grew more acute,
and continues to grow more acute.
Peace time production is beginning
TO absorb the labor surplus, but it is
hardly now keeping pace with the in
crease in labor supply due to the
daily discharge of large numbers of
service men.
There is only one branch OF indus
try that has been unhampered by the
coming of peace: that is agriculture.
The world is crying for food. Our
Allies must continue to receive their
food supplies from the United States,
and the coming of peace, with free
dom OF the seas, has added other ma
tions to the roll of those who turn
to America for their daily bread.
Clearly the opportunity for the dis
charged soldier is on the farm.
At the close of the Civil War re-
turning soldiers were given 100 acres
of unimproved land each. That plan
was more or less effective in getting
the men back to the land, but it is
out of the question for the present
emergency. The government has no
land for homesteading, and there are
very few men in the American army
today who would care to take 100
acres Of raw land, miles from a rail-
road, and begin farming.
If the men of the A. E. F. and the
men who were ready to go to France
when the armistice was signed are to
be sent to the farms, where they are
needed, and kept there, the farms
must be made attractive. Otherwise
the men will drift to the cities and
aggravate the already serious con-
ditions there.
Decent hours, decent pay and de-
cent living conditions must be insured
II the soldier-farmer is not to he
come a Bolshevist. But, above all.
there must be social side to farm
lie. Four years farm boys have been
deserting the farms for the city where
tney might see and mingIe with their
ieiio" men. The returning soldier is
accustomed, above everything else. to
cioSe companionship. He longs for
'ne great outdoors, but he does not
want the great outdoors by himself.

munity life for the farmers, and the
enipioyment problem and the farm
iaOOr problem will solve themselves

EXPECTS CONFESSION
FROM THE HUSBAND

Covington, La, March 15.-Devel-
opments in the investigation into the
murder of Mrs. Edna Reed or Reeves
lead the authorities here to believe
her husband, who was known here
both as Leroy Reed and Leroy
Reeves, will confess being her slayer.
This was the opinion Of DR.. H. d.
Bulloch, coroner of st. Tammany
parish, after busy day spent by
himself and the forces of Sheriff T.
E. Brewster, ferreting out ali possi-
bic angles of the case.
Finding of the murdered woman
Friday morning has aroused the au-
thorities to assert no stone will be
left unturned to find the murderer.
"This is the vilest crime that ever
occurred in Covington and Sheriff
Brewster and myself and every Off
Ger of the law have applied ourselves
to the task of solving the case" said
Coroner Bulloch Saturday night.
"Our investigation Saturday pro-
along many lines, and much
of the evidence we have obtained
has tended to discredit the husband.
feel more convinced than ever that
ne is the guilty party and believe
that in a day or two he will break
down and confess to us.
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1919-03-20

"Reed told us that he was hired by
a man to drive him to jacksonville
in his jitney Thursday night" said
Coroner Bulloch. Further evidence
on this has shown this not to be cor
rect. On the contrary, Reed was
anxious Thursday night to have some
one 60 with him to jacksonville and
importuned several men to go with
him, and finally did take one with
him.
Another peculiar angle of the
case was that Reed apparently saw
every officer of the law on duty
Thursday night, and took drinks with
a number of men. This apparently
was done, in my opinion, to build up
an alibi.
ellis testimony also has been dis
credited in many other ways. He first
told us his wife had been a good
woman. Later, when confronted
with other facts, he admitted she had
not been good before her marriage,
but had been since then. He was
confronted later with evidence that
she had not been true to him since
her marriage. He then admitted
he knew of her behavior, but said
she had not been guilty lately. He
vigorously asserted the latter fact.
He was confronted Saturday with
evidence of inmates of an immoral
house in jacksonville that his wife
had stayed in that resort lately, once
for two weeks, and another time for
several days. He then confessed TO
knowing of that. Other evidence
showed the woman had continued her
life as an immoral woman in Coving-
ton.

SOLDIERS. SUGGESTIONS.

It is considered vey unlucky to be
killed on a Friday.
For a sergeant to stand on the top
of parapet indicates that promo
ton is imminent.
It is unlucky for thirteen to sit
down to meal when rations have
been issued for only seven.
If the sun rises in the East, it's a
sign that there win be stew for diu-
ner. 1t is said that even the least
superstitiOus soldiers remark on the
fallibility of this omen.
To drop your rifle on the foot Of
a second lieutenant is bad luck for
him. To drop it on the foot of SER
geant-major, bad luck for you.
To hear a lecture on the glorious
history of your regiment. indicates
that you will shortly receive orders
to go over the top.
If new officer in taking over q
trench announces that he has learned
all about it at the cadet school, it's
a sign that he is about to receive a
surprise.

scene, or whether or not Mrs. Reeves
barred all entrances last night, is I'M
known. However, instead of using a
key to get into the room of his wife,
Reeves had used a case knife.
She Was Spanish Type
Reeves, who is from Amite, La,
says he was out all night, as the body
of his wife frightened him away from
home when nobody would believe
him.
Mrs. Reeves was from Las Vegas,
New Mexico, and apparently is of
Spanish descent. Her olive complex
ion, fashionable clothing and jewelled
fingers always attracted attention
wherever she went. Little is known
of her or her husband here, as only
short time ago they came to Cow
ington to live while he worked at
jacksonville.
The theory is advanced that the
murder was committed between 10
and ii o'clock last night. DR.. H. d.
Bullock, coroner, upon looking over
the locked murder room, decided that
the blood had been shed for hours.
The coroner's inquest will be held
this afternoon at O'clockj
Motive Is Lacking
The motive for the murder is yet
unestablished. One theory is that a
jealous rival may have entered the
room and slain the woman as she
slept because she had married the
Louisiana man. Another theory adj
vanced is that the husband may have
murdered his wife in a fit of frenzy,
but his action in telling of the muir
der is held to forestall this.
The facts established show that
carpenters hammer, said to be his,
was the weapon which was used, and
could have been picked by any per-
son; that the husband, so far as is
known, was the first to discover the
body and that the room was locked
and barred from the inside.
The first theory gains in talk here,
that a jealous man of Spanish or
Mexican type may have committed
the crime to avenge his being Tilted
for the Amite carpenter.
