THE NEW BOOKS
aThe Peaee-President.r

A surprising bit of hero worship is
1.-The Peace-President,' little book
recently published by William Archer,
a distinguished British scholar. Arch
er's work is surprising in two ways
he shows a startling ignorance regard
ing American politics for gentleman
who attempts to writ criticism of a
political leader, and he goes far to
justify every action which Mr.. Wilson
has taken since he entered public life.
That an Englishman should praise
the Democratic Presidents stand for
tariff for revenue only" is not sur
prising, but that he should declare
Wilson's Mexican policy clear "evi-
dence of his strength of character and
political insight" is at least unusual.
Mr.. Archer's work, which takes up
the life of President Wilson as man,
student. teacher. writer, politician and
statesman, does, however, throw many
interesting lights upon the character
of the American executive. Anecdotes
of the Presidents early life. many of
them close parallels to his present ac-
tions, add interest to the work.
But, on the whole, Mr.. Archer has
found too much good and too little
bad. He has painted, in his descrip-
ton of the President, man too good
to be true"

FOrty.ffth Wedding Anniversary.

Editor of the Missourian: A very
happy event took place at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John Longwell, S03 Col
lege avenue, the evening of April 2S.
The two sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Long
well recently returned safely from
overseas-Ca Captain Chester and Lieu
tenant Harwood Since their return,
two sisters, Mrs. Woodruff of Kansas
and Mrs. Longwell of California, have
come home. This being the first time
for nine years that all have been at
home at the same time But crown
ing delight came on April 2S, the for
ty-fifth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Longwell. A few close neigh
bors were invited in and the evening
passed quickly in pleasant converse
ton. Delicious refreshments were
served.
What more could one ask than that
a faithful husband and wife, surround
ed by devoted children and grandchil-
dren, might together watch the length
ening shadows as the sunset draws
nearer?
Boone County had no more faithful
knitter during the war than Mrs.
Longwell. nor one who could accom-
plish more in a given time. She knits

There was a time when the students
of the University Of Missouri took an
interest in debating. The most sue
cessful alumni of the University may
be found among those who were de-
baters or who were interested in debat-
ing while students here. In recent
years there has been a general de-
crease in interest with the result that
a debating audience in the University
Auditorium usually is lost" among
the empty chairs. Why shouldn't
there be a greater interest in this
form of inter-school competition? The
mental competition of a debate is as
keen and interesting as the physical
test on the running track. A good
time to display a renewed interest
will be next Saturday night when the
high school championship for debat-
ing is to be decided here. Can we
show the contestants that the Uni
versity is still interested in debating?

The Minneapolis Symphony Orches-

recognized as one of the best gath

Its conductor is Emil 0berhoffer, who

AS some Italians regard it, the gov

resented by President Wilson at the
Peace Conference, is a government of

pie"

You can learn more from the
advertisements in your daily
newspaper than you could in
weeks spent in visiting stores,
shops and offices.
If you did not read advertise
ments, you might go to a store
and come home again and
never learn about some new
goods in that store that would
interest you. But the store
keeper knows and he publishes
the news in an advertisement
for you to read.
If you did not read advertise

has come to take its place.

CROW BURLINGAME
LIMIT BUSINESS
DISPOSE OF INTEREST IN AUTO
BILE SELLING CONCERN TO
TO HANDLE ACCESSORIES
EXCLUSIVELY.

Several months ago Bob Grow and
GRAY Burlingame took on the distr:-
button of Velie cars in this territory,
and later added To it the Briscoe cars,
but so amazingly has the business Of
the Crow-Burlingame Company, whole
sa1ers of automobile accessories, be-
come that they have disposed of their
interest in the automobile business.
II. ]. Black, who was manager CT
the Grow Motor Company, las pur.
chased the interests of these two
young business men and is continu-
ing the distribution of these cars m
der the old name.
I'VE knew that the accessory bus
mess would grow to such an extent
that it would take all of our time
says Bob Grow in discussing the sale.
"Bnt we had hardly expected it to
come co soon. Our automobile bus
mess was excellent, but it came TO
a parting of the ways. We had to
neglect one Of the businesses if we
held on and the accessory business is
too attractice for us to dispose OF ii.
so we took the only solution possible
and sold the Velie and Briscoe agency.
Our accessory business has been many
times what we expected Of it in ~
first year, ard our prospects could not
be better Under existing conditions
we decided to turn loose the automo-
bile business and devote our entire
time to the accessories. We have
never neglected it, but we will now
push it stronger than ever

COOP RATIYE HOG
SHIPMENTS GOOD
FARMERS OF PULASKI COUNTY
HAVE SHIPPED NINETEEN
CARS AND MADE EX-
CELLENT PROFIT.

From three to five cents above the
local market price have been secured
by the farmers of Pulaski county who
have participated in the cooperative
shipment of hogs. Nineteen shipments
of this character have been made,
the last going out Tuesday when a
car was shipped by w A. Radcliffe of
Sweet Home, who sent 20 head n.
X Emmons of Pinnacle, with %
head, and Dave Thibault of Frazier
pike, 81 head.
The market is not now showing
such wide difference between Little
Rock and ST. Louis, the difference
having narrowed to about one cent
per pound. This may be entirely
wiped out with the reopening of the
Little Rock packing plant by the IN
dustrial Transportation Company
This company is expected to buy the.
stock raised in this county, paying
top prices in order to encourage the
farmers to greater efforts in stock
raising.
The agricultural forces of the coun-
ty have pushed the cooperative ship
ments as a means for encouraging the
raising of stock, and their efforts have
been so successful that already there
is noticeable improvement in the
character of stock being provided for
next year.

An1uSen7entS

There are, of course, several prac-
tical reasons why Roi Copper Meg
rue wrote "Tea for Three" his latest
and most successful comedy, which
will be seen at the Kempner Decent
Der IL matinee and night. For one,
he liked the idea of the story. Then,
too, it appeals to him as being some
thing along the line which he prefers
to do
But there was still another reason.
And truth eompels the admission that
while it has worked out in a prac.
teal way extremely well, on the face
of it, it was just a visionary some
thing which would only appeal to an
author or perhaps an artist.
To PUT it concisely, Mr.. Megrue sat
about writing Tea for Three" to-
prove that it was possible to take
the i'm, out of immortal and still
have II story well worth the telling.
Fair critics agree that he has sue
ceeded admirably in his undertaking.
Tea for Three is a play without sex.
without intrigue, without deceit, with
out betrayal, without immortality,
and with immortality.
