a husband with four small children to
mourn her loss. She also leaves ia
ther. several brothers and sisters and
other relatives. Nor is the loss entire

AMERICAN THRIFT

Wanton extravaganza in the United
States has been reduced to a minimum.
Food conservation has gained its vic
tory. The thrift stamp has lain in
wait for the odd dimes and quarters.
But American thrift is not the thrift
of other nations. 1t does not extend
to the pennies. Pennies seem to both
er some people; they will buy stick
or two of gum just to get rid of them.
The youth of the nation is especially
careless with money, result of Amer
ican prosperity.
The poor save; they have to. But
families of ordinary or more than or
dinary means waste money. 1t is
doubtful, because of the prosperity of
America, if the United States will
ever be a saving nation. Lessons of
thrift were learned during the war,
but were forgotten in some measure
with the signing of the armistice.
Thrift is sometimes illustrated by
the anecdote of the woman who chose
a straw hat because it would be a
mOuthful for the COW when it was
worn out. Somewhere between this
extreme and modern habits of expendi-
ture lies the sane medium.

LOOK UP AND NOT DOWN

And the next day it rained!
How many persons have come to
accept this as philosophy of life in
these uncertain days of war recon
struction"? How many face the NOR
row each night as but another day of
toll and worry, of failure and fatigue,
eagerly grasping at every black pre-
diction for the future? Look about you
and see.
The spirit has become infectious
and even the press has caught the
tune and hummed a low accompani-
ment while statesmen thunder forth
direful prophesies with all the awful
ness of their belief in their convic-
tiOns. What wonder, then, if the peo-
pie have learned to hearken to these
gloom dispensers and begin to nod
their heads sagely in ready acquisi-
ton? The worst is always easier to
believe than the best.
This country above all others can
face the future squarely and conf
IDENTIFY for more reasons than permit
of enumeration. Huge undeveloped
resources, thousands of acres of rich
farming land, raw materials, a land
untouched or ravaged by war; all
these and a million other blessings are
on hand to be thankful for.
1t is the duty of every true Ameri-
can not only to view the future with
optimism but to Undue his friends
and neighbors with the same senti-
ment. THE world is so full of num-
ber of things, that I'm sure We should
all be as happy as kings" bears more
than usual significance today.

by the mandates in regard to military
forces. The manufacture and sale
of munitions of war will be regulated
At threat of war, arbitration or a
review by the executive council will
be resorted to. The league will issue
a decision which, if not obeyed, will
be enforced first by severance of dip
lomatic relations, then economic iso-
lation and last by force. An act OF
war against one member will be in
terpreted as directed against all, and
dealt with accordingly. Nations not
in the league are invited to avail them
selves of its services in adjusting their
international difficulties.
The former German colonies will be
put under control of other nations un-
til such time as they are deemed cap
able of self-government. An attempt
will be made to secure humane condi-
tions of labor; freedom of transit will
be established and just rules for COM
merce formulated.
All previous treaties which conflict
with the articles of the covenant will
be abrogated and the instrument it.

PRAISES HILLS FORESIGHT
william VI. Reedy COmmends Uniyer
sity President for Retaining Land.

Under the caption, Saving State
Lands" this weeks issue OF Reedy's
Mirror of st. Louis says:
President A. Ross Hill of Missouri
University. has scotched, by exposing
it, a scheme to sell some hundreds of
thousands of acres of lands belonging
to the University at nominal price
per acre The lands contain low-
grade ores.
Those ores are not workable now,
but they will be so in the future,
when the deposits of high-grade ore
shall be worked out, as they must be.
The state should retain possession of
the land, the value of which must con-
stantly increase as the ore contends
thereof come into demand. The land
will then yield a splendid revenue for
the support of the university.
1T may possibly be that the sur
face rights in the land be disposed of
for agricultural use. but the mineral
rights must be kept in the states pos
session, that the state and particular
ly education in the state, may have the
benefit of future unearned increment"

BANKS MOTHERS CLUB
PIONEER IN WAR WORK

The name Mothers Club" is indi-
cative of varied and great accom-
plishments, generally speaking. This
phraseology is accurately applicable
to the Mothers Club of Banks School
district, the district joining Columbia
on the west and north.
During Farmers Week, the reports
of Country Club were given and when
the report of the banner club of the
state was read, the Banks Mothers
Club members learned their own ac-
complishments were greater than this
banner club from Andrew County, but
they desired not to pluck the feathers
of glory from their sister club so kept
quiet, except among themselves and
their households. This is evidenced by
one of the husbands letting the story
out that the Banks Mothers Club was
the best in the state. in proportion to
membership and number of years or
ganiZed.
This club was promoted by Miss
Mary Armstrong, teacher at the
Banks School, and the organization
perfected by Miss Ella V. Dobbs of
the University, in January, 1917, with
nine charter members. 1t now has
an enrolment of twenty-five.
The purpose of the club is to i'm
prove school conditions and the small
district with about thirteen pupils. is
a difficult field to improve. When
war was declared the women saw
clearly their work, and community in
terests were relegated to the back
ground. During the war period they
held all-day meetings. at the home of
one of the members. and not a mo-
ment was lost from work.
The first summer the club had an
instructor to come out from the home
economics department of the Univer-
sity and hold canning demonstrations

THE CASUALTIES

The casualty list which has occu-
pied such a large portion of the daily
papers of the United States for the
last year will soon be ended. 1t is a
part of the paper that has been eager
ly and anxiously scanned every day
and the daily reminder OF the enor-
nous amount of blood that was con-
stantly being shed for those of us
who stayed at home.
We place on our service flags gold
stars out of respect for those whose
names are also entered on the great
casualty list in heaven and who we
hope have received much more than a
gold star there.

THE VOICE OF THE WORLD

Emerging from the dreams of
statesmen, the covenant, or proposed
constitution of the League of Nations,
comes into the full glare of publicity
and will stand or fall as the public of
the world DEGREES.
The supreme power is vested in a
body of delegates of all the nations
signing the covenant, with an execu-
tive council to act during its recess.
This council shall consist of repre-
sentatives of the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Japan and of
four other states selected by the dele
gates. A permanent secretary will be
maintained.
New states may be admitted to the
league by vote of two-thirds of the
nation-members, but only when they
have shown themselves capable of
self-gOvernment and willing to abide

at the different homes. In this way
they conserved food by using nothing
but home products where it was pos
sible.
Just as soon as Red Cross material
was obtainable, the club secured it
and went to work, always working up
their allotment early and calling for
more. They continued as long as gar
ments were needed and are now max
ing refugee garments.
When the Belgian Relief Campaign
was on the club collected a wagon
load of clothing for that cause. The
members contributed literally to the
hospital linen shower, gathered nuts
for the conservation committee, filled
Christmas boxes and have adopted a
French orphan. While waiting for
Red Cross material they collected
scraps, pieced and quilted two quilts.
The women had to devise way in
which to make money to answer the
many calls. Last spring each one set
hen, the proceeds, $65, of the chicks
went to the county treasurer of the
Red Cross. They held several down
town window sales of good things to
eat; they had oyster suppers at the
school house but most of their money
has been made from furnishing din
ners at public sales. here they have
more calls then they can meet. The

consists of soup. salads. vegetables.
baked apples and pies, including the
things they buy, and it sells for 25
made in live stock trade. They pur-
chased a SOW at a sale for $110, the
SOW found litter of eleven pigs, then
in two months they sold all for $2l0
One pig died and another was given
to the member who kept the SOW.
The club bought, at each Liberty
bond issue a $50 bond and is planning
to have funds for the next bond fiota-
tion. The district has always gone
over the top in a hurry at every call
from the government and all own
Thrift and War Savings Stamps and
give to Red Cross and Y. NJ c. A
drives.
In the interim, the club followed
the njunction-"keep the home fires
burning" They have transformed the
plain little school house to a room,
home-like and conducive to study. A
drinking fountain has been placed in
the room; a book case built and books
added They stand in readiness to
assist the teacher, Miss Ethel White,
in any thing she feels the school needs
The clubs ultimate aim is TO en-
large the school building, that it may
be used for entertainments, socials
and lectures, to make a community
enter of it.
Life to them is not a submission to,
but mastery of, environment This
club has already created much
greater social atmosphere. has broad
ened the scope of outlook and has
welded the women together as no 9TH
er interest could.

''Defininte plans are being made to
push community singing in Colum-
bia," says Miss Ella " Dobbs. Miss
Dobbs is chairman of patriotic educa-

Council of National Defense.
I'VE intend 10 have community

afternoon, if not sooner. Plans have
not been completed yet
When the peace pact is really sign
ed" continued Miss Dobbs, I'VE want
to celebrate it in a dignified way in
keeping with the Importance of the
event. Preparation is necessary for
this. The Council of National De-
fense has been urging for some time
that the whole country emphasize COM
munity ehoruses and meetings. Not
only do they want national airs sung,
but also old ballads and familiar
songs"
A committee has been appointed to
make the plans Mrs. Mary Lee Read
is chairman. Other members are Mrs.
Ida Mitchell, Miss Anna L. Johnson,
George Venable and Chester Murray.
Others will be added to this committee
from time to time.
"The military camps have taught us
that music is necessity. We should
not lose their example. or the impetus
gained by the recent visit of Mrs. w.
D. Steele of Sedalia. state director of
community choruses. By expressing
ourselves and letting our feelings out,
our enthusiasm will increase" con-
cluded Miss Dobbs.
