BOIL WEEV|L IN
HIGHLAND COUNTY
PEST HAS COVERED oNE.HALF
OF COUNTY AND WILL SOON
EMBRACE THE WHOLE.
NO MORE BIG COTTON CROPS
Farm Demonstrators One Plan HAS
Been to Persuade Farmers to Give
Up the One Crop System.

Columbia.-That the boil weevil has
covered practically one-half of Rich.
land county in the past two weeks and
chat before the end of the cotton sea-
son the entire county will be covered
with the pest is a statement contained
m an open letter to Richland county
farmers by ]. Rhett Clark, farm dem.
onstrator. In his letter Mr.. Clark
calls attention to the fact that the
weevil has been steadily advancing
upon the county for several years and
that no alarm should be taken over
his widespread appearance
In reference to many inquiries from
farmers as to what course should be
pursued the coming year, the demon
stTator says he is convined that the
generally accepted theory OF I'VE can
raise one more big crop OF cotton" is
wrong. and while he does not say this
can not be done he advises the farm
ers TO turn to stock and hog raising
and diversified farming.
Mr.. Clark says that his one plan
since he came to Richland has been to
hammer into the heads OF farmers
that they must forsake the one-crop
system.

MARKET BEAUTIFUL
 FOR CUBAN CAPITAL

HAVANA, Feb. 5 (by maiD.-A model market, to cost $2,4O0,OOO, is to be constructed here to take the place of the old-time market places and newer street markets scattered about the city, products of the wartime food scarcity and consequent manipulation of prices by merchants. It will be a beautiful marbled structure.
 Havana now has only one central market building the Colon Market, located in the heart of the city, but dark, poorly ventilated and unsani- tary. The other the Plaza de Vapo- res," or "Tacon" market, recently was closed by the city health authorities because of it's unsanitary condition.

POINTS
 WAY TO KILL
 BOLSHEVIKISM

| LONDON, Feb. 8 Correspondence of theof the Associated Press).-Use | of only small volunteer force of allied troops to maintain order in the Ukraine is requested by representa- tives of Russian political organizations in London in statement issued here purporting to set forth their views. The statement expressly declares that except for the assistance of "a small allied detachment that could be brought from the Black Sea to main tain order in the Ukraine, the Rus sans ask for no allied troops at all, only for material Russia is able and willing and much prefers to rehabili- tate herself with her own forces.'
 They also ask for war material, rifles and especially aircraft and tanks. These, they say, should be supplied to Russia's own army, com prising 25O,OOO men under Admiral Kolchak, with headquarters at Omsk, and another 250,000 men under the command of General Denikine, who is reported to have just joined forces with those of the Cossack leader on the Don, General Kraznoff. The Rus sians appeal also for moral allied sup port and recognition. Bolshevism must be placed outside the pale of so- ciety and declare that such a pro- , nouncement on the part of the allies has never yet been made but would have tremendous influence and i'm portance"
 1 A plan of military operations aimed at the Bolsheviki is suggested by the Russian delegation. It proposes that the forces of Admiral Kolchak and General Denikine be joined and adds that if this were done three-fourths of the task would be accomplished and the collapse of Bolshevism would be only a matter of weeks" The next step proposed would be to sever the | BOlshevik communications between north and south Russia. The Russian delegation pointed out that General Denikine is being assisted by the al lies from the Black Sea from which he was only six hours distant and they asserted that as soon as he had enough material he would move north and join Admiral Kolchak, and move toward Tsaritsin, an important. strat- egic center in southeastern Russia.
 They declare that the armies of General Denikine and Admiral Kol- chak are large and well organized but are now separated by the Bolsheviki; and we are asking that they shall be supported. The physical force of Bol- shevism can be easily and quickly dis sipated in this fashion,

THE NEW BOOKS
"La BOdega.'

LA Bodega," meaning "the fruit OF
the vine," is another novel by Vicente
Blasco Ibanez, the best known Span
ish novelist. In this book the author
draws a pitiless, realistic picture OF
beautiful, if decadent, Spain and her
people.
1t is a colorful book full of that in
tangible thing called atmosphere
which all writer's try to attain. The
reader can almost smell the grapes
ripening on the vine and catch the
CLEAN of sunlight that separates the
amber from the deep red of the sherry
wine.
La Bodega" is social novel, being
first an attack upon the vice of drunk
enness and secondly an attack upon
the propertied interests that willfully
keep the lower class in ignorance. 1t
is vivid story of social revolution in
which the soul-life of race of people
is glimpsed. The ever-present, un-
equal struggle of capital and labor
appears with the education of capital
always beating back the giant strength
of labor. The passionate breath of
Spain with her love of intrigue runs
throughout the story.
(E. P. Dutton & Company, New
York; cloth, 1858 pages, with glossary
defining technical Spanish terms used
throughout the book; $1.90.)

Erin's Troubles.

Editor the Missourian: Ireland-the
land where it is always yesterday
has been torn in shreds politically for
years because of the individualism of
her people. Everyone has wanted to
rule; no one has been satisfied to
follow. With her factions and feuds,
the relics of the clan are yet hardly
extinct. The keynote of Irish history
has been "give her time" Politically
she has shown a lack of sincerity,
grit, character and brains. Men of
higher caliber as leaders are needed.
The Irishman has always had a
strong love for lawlessness and con-
spiracy. Until recently he thought
that politics meant joining or organ
izing some sort of society or other for
religious freedom, political freedom or
any other kind of freedom. For years
the Irish people have been worm by
the unrest of the land movement of
the peasant class. Until recently the
Irish people have never been inter-
ested in the practical problems of life.
They have thought that nationalism
was nothing but politics between
themselves. They are just family be-
ginning to realize that factions, par
ties and leagues cannot accomplish it.
Ireland has wanted to rule herself al
though she has never proved that she
IS sufficient administrator to make a
success of it.
At present there are three parties
in Observation-Disclosures who want
Home Rule; Unionists, or Ulsterites,
who want English rule; and Sim
Feiners, who want, not home rule, but
an absolute rule of their own. These
three parties have been tearing at
each others throats in an attempt to
win the liberty of Ireland. Seeming
ly they do not realize that in union
there is strength. The people have
not learned the lesson of combined
effort and the division of labor. If Ire
land only knew what she did want,
perhaps England would grant it with
little trouble.
To make matters worse, Ireland is
divided religiously. The Ulsterites, or
inhabitants of Ulster, are Presbyteri-
ans, and the Nationalists are Catholics.
Should England definitely recognize
any one of the parties in Ireland it
would lead to civil war between the
political and religious factions of the
little green island. England's only
hope is policy of watchful waiting
for the parties to compromise among
themselves and decide on a common
plan of action. M.

For ALL EVENINGS

Saturday evenings especially, ano
other evenings as well, the streets and
street corners of Columbia are pretty
well crowded. Groups stand or
streets for hours tolking. Hundreds
of others walk around aimlessly
From various places issue the sounds
of mechanical pianos and click OF bill
lizard ball. The air is thick with to-
bacco smoke.
A community house would undoubt'
edly solve part of the problem Of
loafing. 1t would be far more de-
sirable place than street corners fol
friends to meet. 1t would be the place
for town band, for nothing like mus
ic draws people together and estab
fishes a feeling of general friendli
ness. 1t would be an attraction fol
nearby farmers, who in time woult
look forward to Saturday night.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Columbia.

Editor the Missourian: One of the
reasons why so many have been de-
lightfully surprised with Columbia is
because they come in through the
back alley. The railways, you know,
must follow the tracks The two de-
pots are little squatting buildings set
in the corners of hollows. Each roof
is red, but there is no green lawn to
match.
Broadway looks like prolonged
scenic railway, only that the changes
in sea level are not so sudden, but
lazily graceful. Concrete blocks, with
sad wooden crosses containing infOr-
nation of distant cities for the guild
ance of overland travellers, mark the
intersections of the streets. The build,
ings are not high enough to give one
an impression of metropolis, nor
are there any trees to produce the ef-
feet of a beautiful, aristocratic old
town. 1t looks like a thousand other
little cities that leave no impression
upon the mind. Nothing is prominent
But the disagreeable back-alley at
mosphere disappears as one goes
through the city. The gilt ball of the
University dome, whose glitter can be
seen over the tree tops for miles
away, becomes bigger and higher up
Coming in through the north entrance
of the West Campus, one becomes

BLIND LOVE

Love gives no recognition to bel
ligerency of nations; it pays no at
tention to boundaries or alliances OF
army orders. The doughboys along
the Rhine bridgeheads knew the mill
tary restrictions on fraternizing with
the enemy, and the boys obeyed and
didn't fraternize.
But you couldn't convince an Amer
ican soldier that the casting of adj
miring, longing and finally loving
glances upon a pretty little frauleir
came under the category of "fraternia.

was constrained to argue for the in
nate quality of internationally in
love- Also, he harked back to his,
torical precedent to justify his con-
duct; "for didn't those ancient Rom
ans or somebody take as wives the
women of the enemy they had con
quered?" His clinching argument
was, Anyway, she's pretty and, be

MOB PSYCHOLOGY

Mob psychology is emotional. There
is little or no reason to it, nor is
this smattering of reason long sus-
tanned. The stability and temper of
a mob is as uncertain as an April
day.
The personality of an individual
regardless of his intelligence, is lost
in the throng. He cannot assert him
self. If the intellect of the mob were
only a composition of all individual
intellects or on a level with the high
est one there, it would be satisfac-
tory; but instead it generally comes
closer to sinking to the lowest. A
mob is tickle, unreasoning body,
without mind, that follows the sug-
gestion of first one and then another
In the play, Julius Caesar" the
mob that sanctions the murder of
Caesar by Brutus and his conspira-
tors first wished to declare Brutus
dictator. 1t listened warmly to his
calm, intellectual account of the
crime; but when Mark Antony made
his appeal, the enthusiasm of the
mob rose SO high that its members
sought to burn the home of Brutus.
1t only one doesn't antagonist the
mob but starts out with a little fiat
terry or with a statement that every
one believes, he may lead the mob.
If handled suavely any crowd is sus-
ceptible and may be successfully
swayed by clever manipulation
The popular audience worships
name, power, prestige and presence.
So after all, mob psychology is pc
culiar thing, and a crowds a crowd
for "a that and a that"
