THE Mooui DESERT

Never was life so lonely and cheer less as in the desolate novels of the Moquis. Their land is not tender solitude, but a forbidding desolation of escarped cliffs overlooking wastes of sand where the winds wage war on the small shrubs and venturesome grasses, leaving to the drouth such as they cannot uproot. A few scrubby trees, spotting the edge of the plain as if they had looked across the wa terless waste and crouched in fear, furnish a little brushwood for the fires of the Moquis who are fighting out the battle of existence that is hardly worth the struggle.
 The seven villages within a circuit of ten miles have been isolated from the world through centuries, yet they have so little intercourse with each other that their tribal languages, every where subject to swift mutations. are entirely unlike-Susan Arncld Wal lace.

MEALs AND EFFICIENCY

Men and women in business know we'll that if breakfast is well prepared. we'll served and eaten under normal conditions. they may rise from the table knowing they are prepared for whatever the day may bring forth. And they know equally we'll that II breakfast is badly prepared, poorly served and partaken of under un- happy conditions, they go forth to a day of vexation. worry and turmoil. In many ways breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It helps us to begin the day well, it gives us the right start, it prepares us to meet with philosophy things that would worry us if we did not have the good start.
 Lunch is less important and din- ner-well, we are tired, hungry, and through with the day and ready for dinner. even if it be somewhat less than our testes might have preferred. -Ohio State Journal.

YOUNG FARMERS ARE
BEING MADE IN MISSOURI

The nation wide arm-labor short
age has developed chiefly through the
movement. first, of young men to the
cities, and second, of entire farm fam
lilies. High wages and shorter hours
have been the drawing card. Had the
young folks possessed a greater inter.
est in the farm, perhaps the exodus
would not have been so general
The work that the Extension Ser.
vice of the University of Missouri
College Of Agriculture is doing
through its boys and girls clubs is
serving TO create that great interest in
the wholesome farm life. The fact
that the enrolment is increasing by
year, shows conclusively that Nilsson
ri young farm folks are eager to
make the most of their opportunities,
and that they are taking a greater in
terest in the farms activities.
Back in 1916, 416 boys and girls
clubs were organized with member
ship of 5S42. About one-ffth of the
members completed the project, Oh
the work planned for the year. The
next year, 1875 clubs were organized
with membership of 1879, and still
only a fifth of the membership com
pleted the work. In 1918, 1906 clubs
were organized with an enrolment Of
20,554, and the proportion of members
who remained to the finish was nearly
one-third. Last year, 1919, 1909 clubs

If RAILROADS WERE
ELECTRIFIED

If all the railways in the country
which now use steam locomotives to
haul their trains were operated by
electricity generated by steam in large
power stations, there would be saw
ing Of about 22,500,000 tons of coal
annually, according to estimates en-
bodied by Frank M. Kerr in a paper
which he read the other day before the
National Electric Light Association in
session at Pasadena. Mr.. Kerr told
his hearers that only 53,500,000 tons
of coal would be needed annually to
generate electricity to run the roads.
The present yearly coal consumption
is 175,000,000 tons. If some of the
roads could be operated by hydro
electric power, there would, of course,
be an additional saving, but it does
not appear that that phase of the mat
ter was discussed in Mr.. Kerr's paper.
We have mere one of the intricate
economic problems of the day. If re-
duction in coal consumption were all
that it were necessary to consider, the
problem might be easily solved, but
there are other factors to be taken
into account. To begin with, there is
the question Of capital. Any extensive
abandonment of steam for electricity
as motive power means an enormous
expenditure. Even if the capital were
provided, sweeping change from one
motive power to the other would re-
quire years for the manufacture and
installation of the new machinery and
appliances. Nor does it appear that
electrical operation would be profit
able in all cases. 1t is pointed out
that there is point below which the
reduced volume of traffic makes
steam operation cost less than opera
, ton by electricity. In view of these
considerations it is clear that there
will be no general rebuilding of the
railroads in order to save coal
On the other hand, the rising cost
! Of coal and the constant congestion

large measure, responsible, as well as
many advantages which come from
electrical operation in regions of dense
l traffic, will give impetus to the cleo
IRRIGATION of many railway systems,
on their main lines, at least. 1t is
probable that the time will soon come
when electric engines will haul trains
in and out Of every large city as they
handle trains in New York today. The
experience of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul is regarded as demon
strating the success attendant upon
the electritication of trunk line sys-
tenn. From such beginnings the areas
of electric traction are destined to
spread farther and farther, but it will
be a slow process and many long
years will pass before we say good

them, completed the years work.
But here, perhaps, are figures of
greater interests Figures which tell
the practical boy or girl that his or
her work in these clubs has a real
money value. The value of the club
members products in 1916 was $1,000.
The net profit was $35O1. In 1917 the
value was $G3,482, and the net profit
was $751; SOP. In 1918 the value rails
ed to $120,029, and the net profit was
S65,022. In 1919 the value took an
other step upward and registered
$l81, 486, with a net profit of $102,-
1913.
Perhaps these figures, taken along
with the exhibition of interest the
boys and girls are showing in the
farm and home life-a showing which
cannot be made in dollars-will an
swer at once the question so often
raised at the outset, "Does boys and
girls club work pay?"

MACHINERY SAVES MAN LABOR

Every new machine adopted on the
farm means a saving of man labor
The farmer on a farm that is well
equipped with machinery can handle
more acres of crops than the man on
a poorly equipped farm. The use of
a two-row cultivator will make it pos
sible to get over practically twice the
number of acres as with a one-row
cultivator, and with the one-row cult
vatOr twice the area can be covered
as with the old-fashioned double SHOW
ell. The same principle holds true for
the mower and binder. 1t does not
mean, however, that every farmer
should buy two-row cultivator or an
eight-foot mower because the topog-
raphy of the particular farm must be
considered, says E. w. Lehman of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. Every farmer should at
tempt to utilize a greater number of
horses and larger power units so as to
make it possible for each man to be
more efficient and get greater re-
suits.
Harvesting hay with a sweep rake
is suggested by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture as means of
relieving the shortage of farm labor.
This implement has been used very
extensively through the middle west
but there are many farmers in Mis-
souri, not using this machine who could
well adopt it. Farmers Bulletin 1888
gives complete information on har-
vesting hay with sweep rake. This
bulletin may be secured from the Di-
vision of Publications, United States

BOOKLET SHOWS THAT
EDUCATION PAYS

After High School-What Next? is
the title of booklet now being sent
out from the University of Missouri
dealing in general way with the
dollar value of a university education
and in particular showing the oppor-
tunities in salaries for teachers of vo-
catlonal agriculture.
In connection with the vocational
agriculture work, the fact is pointed
out that there are for every man avail
able ten to twelve positions open at
beginning salaries of 81, 800 to $4,000.
That time spent getting a Univer-
sity education is not lost in the long
run is shown in table comparing
the relative earning powers of a high
school graduate and of University
graduate. Although the man who
starts work as soon as he is out of
high school accumulates about $500
in wages while the other man is
completing his education, figures in
the table go to show that in his first
four years out Of school University
graduate earns more than a high
school graduate in his first eight.
From then on the race becomes
more ard more unequaled. Twelve
years after his graduation, from high
school (including the four years spent
going to SCHOOL, the average Univer-
sity-traired man has earned $4,000,
while his high school chum who stop
ped there has total of about $14,-
300.
And besides this difference in earn
ing. capacity, the booklet goes on to ex-

shows that the farm house of the av-
