Distinguished service medals are not
awarded to military heroes alone.
The boys and girls in the club work
fostered by the Extension Service of
the University of Missouri College of

may receive no shining medals, they
have received the benefit from an ex-

through future endeavor.

minimum wage of ninety dollars
per month. A few get one hundred
dollars. There is now some talk Of
their receiving a bonus. At the be-
ginning of the present school year
most Of these teachers held contracts
calling for eighty-fve dollars per
month The Board called these in and
gave out the increase without petition
on the part of the teachers. One Of
the girls was not satisfied, secured
her release, and is now drawing one
hundred twenty-five dollars per month
in Evelyth, one of the mining towns
in the North.

teachers in the county just south Of
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are re-

THOUGHTLESSNESS

Is there anything more exasperating
to contend against in Others than
thoughtlessness? Most of the things
that we want to make better have a
tangible, get-at-able quality. They at
least exist. A bad temper has its
manifestations. A bad habit usually
shows itself sometime or other during
the day. But thoughtlessness does not
exist. 1t is nothing. You cannot get
it off in a corner and lecture it, or pun
ish it, or attempt to improve it in any
way. AS it has no existence, but is
merely a negation, your efforts to get
rid of it are naturally useless.
Moreover, the person guilty of
thoughtlessness appears to have all
the telling arguments on his side. His
81 didn't think" is always his first
statement, which he thinks ought to
be full and sufficient answer to the
question why the particular thing he
is responsible for has not been done.
But if you reject that excuse and tell
him that 81 didn't think" is not
enough, then with more or less in
jured air he falls back upon his fun
damental position, namely, that he did
not mean not to think. There he rests,
and no attempt to dislodge him is
likely to succeed. Not meaning not TO
think appears to him to be founded
upon the eternal principle Of justice.
He resents, usually with considerable
fervor, any further attempt on your
part to convince him that he ought to
have thought.
"Of course l ought to have done it,
he repeats. "But any one would think,
to hear you, that deliberately meant
not to do it. should have done it if
l had thought, wouldn't l? It's no
fault of mine that I didn't think"
If he had set fire to a house or
wrecked railway train, or had been
impolite to his dear old grandmother,
you could at least formulate a def
mite charge against him. But if, be-
ing the last one up at night, he leaves
the lights going, or keeps an important
letter in his pocket, or fails you at
dinner, he can convict you of being
extremely unjust to him for accusing
him of not doing. something that he
certainly would have done if he had
only thought about doing it, he makes
his intentions stand for his deeds. And
when you question anyone's intentions,
you always offend him.

THEIR NET LOSS SMALL

Those who ask sympathy should
state the facts upon which their claim
is based. The manufacturers who
have liquor on hand complain Of in
justice done them by prohibition. Let
us have ALL the facts.
First-How much did they have on
hand when manufacture was stopped ?
Second-What was the value meas
ured by cost?
Third-What was it's value when
measured by price then prevailing?
Fourth-How much has been sold
since manufacture was stopped?
Fifth--What was received for the
amount sold?
Prohibition raised the price of liquor
on hand and the increased value of Ii
quor should be deducted in order TO
find net loss. If prohibition is blamed
for any loss, it must be credited with
gains as well-only NET loss can be
considered, and that cannot be regard
ed as either legal or a moral claim;
it is insignificant when compared with
the injury done by liquor.

EARLY POTATOES
A MONEY CROP

Many growers in Missouri are find
ing that early Irish potatoes are a
profitable crop to grow for the local
market or to ship. Growers should
remember that a large part of the
success of the potato crop depends on
getting an early start, so that the
crop is well along toward maturity
before hot weather, according to J. T.
Rosa, Jr., of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. The
Missouri early potato crop should be
ready to go to market by July 1st,
thus following up the shipments Of
early or "new" potatoes from the
south and preceding the crop in more
northern sections.
The latter part of March is the ideal
planting time. Early Ohio and Irish
Cobbler have been found the best va
rieties in our Experiment Station
tests, while most strains of the Bliss
Triumph have proved unsatisfactory.
Commercial fertilizers have also
proved to be an important means of
increasing potato yields. A complete
fertilizer will probably produce the
greatest increase in yields, but acid
phosphate alone produces very marked
results. Plenty of seed should be
used, it pays to cut the seed pieces so
that the individual piece weighs at
| least one ounce or more. Small whole
tubers, taken from otherwise healthy
northern grown seed, or from fall
homegrown seed, have been found TO
produce a good crop if planted early.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

1t is with feeling of inexpressible
sadness that the County Superintend-
ent records the unexpected and I'M
timely death of Miss Anna N. Guard
who was serving her third term as
Principal Of the Esther High School.
Miss Guard was indeed one of natures
noble-women in the highest and most
revercnt sense of the word. She
breated into her work a gentleness but
withal sincerity of purpose and high
conception Of duty which commands
the love and respect of her pupils and
associates.
1t might well have been said of her:
Nothing she does or seems
But smacks of something greater
than herself;
Too noble for this place"
Everybody loved Miss Guard for
she was the incarnation of all quail
ties held sacred and reverent to wo-
manhood. Her radiant personality
will long remain tender and ineffac-
cable memory.
The County Superintendent has re-
ceived an interesting letter from Z.
|. Fleming who was recently an in
structor IN the Fiat River High
School Mr.. Fleming is now an in
structor in the Commercial Depart
ment of the Luverne (Minnesota) High
School. Since it is believed that his
letter will prove of general interest
it is here published in full in the lit
terest of the campaign for living sal
aries for rural and grade teachers.
The letter follows:

Although American silk manufac-
turers never before have had to pay
such high prices for raw silk, they i'm
ported more of it, not including waste
silk, in 1919 than in any preceding
year--probably more than 100000
900 worth. The most of it came from
Italy, China and Japan. In the first
ten months of the year Italy sent us
$11,000,000 worth, China $45,O00,000
worth, and Japan $194,000,0O0 worth.
From all other countries combined we
got less than 100000 worth.

A famous mathematician of the ear
ly eighteenth century who perceived
that the bottoms of the cells in bee
hive were formed by three lozenge-
shaped places measured the angles of
the lozenges The greater were 109
degrees % minutes, the lesser, 70 de-
grees 32 minutes. Another man of
science, marveling at the precision of
the angles, propounded the following
problem to KONG, the geometrician.
"What are the angles of the hexagonal
cell with a pyramidal bottom formed
of three similar and equal rhomboid
plates that require the least possible
material?" KONG, ignorant Of what
had suggested the problem, found by
calculus that the greater angles of the
rhombus should be 109 degrees 26 min
utes, and the lesser angles, 70 degrees
"a minutes. He was wrong by two
minutes in each dimension. What hui

The surprising range of modern
city government is revealed by some
of the items in the municipal budget
of Philadelphia. Music for afternoon

the Fourth of July and Memorial Day,
S14,750; removing ashes from the city

city pays every year $1,000; to piano
players and swimming teachers, $10,-
