THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Palestine itself the prospect is
sufficiently dark.
And yet, that is exactly what
we needed in our over-confdence.
Even if Zionists did not omit God
from their reckoning as some
claim, there is no doubt that there
was over-confdence which has
been as harmful as any other fac
tor. The Zionist was so jubilant
over the Balfour declaration and
San Reno that his joy was con-
tagious and inoculated the Jewish
masses. The latter expected Pal
estine, fully developed, to be
handed to them on a platter.
Their disappointment at the long
road still to be traversed, in turn
reacted on the Zionist, so that he
also relaxed his efforts.
Now, Tisha b'Ab always
brought message of hope, to-
gether with it's sad memories
mourning over vanished glories
kindled the hope for splendor re-
stored and enhanced. To the Jew
who really desires to witness the
rebuilding of Palestine, the Three
Weeks of renewed memories of
olden Jewish disaster should not
only refresh the sense of sy1npa-
thy for present day Jewish suf-
fering, but should bring anew the
message Of Jewish hope and en-
deavor. C. D. M.

and the mothers at large have left
undone a most vital, wonderful,
essential work, a most splendid
field untitled, unsown-hence a
rather sterile result.
81 shall only speak of one ap-
palling lack-which to my mind
spells the unfulfllment of the
whole law and the prophets-all
other omissions are mere COM
mentary. I refer to the atrophy
in the Jewish girl of a religious
sense in general and Jewish
religious sense in particular.
"The average Jewish girl looks
upon religion, which should be
considered and was considered by
our forebears as the very Joy and
main spring of life, as kill joy.
This may be applicable to the
average young girl or person in
general, but we are concerned
now only with the Jewish girl.
w. L. George, the English novel
ist, said he noticed belief
amounting almost to a religion
that the young American girl
must have good time. And this
seems true. For this her whole
The American Jewish world., 1921-07-22

scheme of life is planned-her
clothes, her amusements, her
light accomplishments. Religion,
responsibility, restriction, are not
the three RS to be cultivated in
her curriculum, but are sacrificed
on the altar of good times-good
times at any cost, good food at
any price, good clothes at the
tailor's price, cheap shows at a
high price, good effort at no price.
This is fostered by over-indulg
ent parents-the good mother
without vision, and the poor faith
er, SO busy in the pursuit of the
wherewithal to pay for these pas
times, that his role in the scheme
of home is that of the useful if
not ornamental cash register, his
right hand often cramped from
frequent signature-lower right.
What sort of atmosphere is thus
created? A home often where
the only book discussed is the
bank book-the only music ap-
preciated, the jazz, the only pic
ture viewed, the movie.

ZANGWILL v. CHESTER
TON.

A movement is afoot among
American Jewish leaders (the
Jewish World announces), to in
vite Mr.. Zangwill to visit the
country and to deliver a series of
lectures in order Ito counteract
the impression" created by Mr..
G. K. Chesterton, who has recent
ly been on a lecturing tour
throughout the States "dissemi-
mating anti-Semitism and propa-
eating hatred against the Jews"
The idea is that Mr.. Zangwill
should lecture in every place at
which Mr.. Chesterton held forth,
and the Sentinel says that it has
reason to believe "that the great
Anglo-Jewish wit and novelist
would accept such an invitation"
If the notion crysta1lizes it will
be an interesting opportunity for
some plain speaking to Jew as
we'll as to Gentle if not ito Jew
first; and there is no one who
could more amply fulfil it than

their attitude as to receiving lew
ish girls and their candid reasons
for rejecting them. It was not
their criticism of the Jewish girls
love of display and lack Of con-
troll of emotions, appetites, etc.,
that impressed me, because this is
applicable to other girls to a more
or less degree, but what inn
pressed me was their criticisms on
the Jewish girls not bringing a.
Bible with her to school, not
blowing the head and bending
the knee" in prayer, not thinking
that attendance at religious serv-
ice should be natural part Of
her life. We cannot be cultured
without religion"

SHORTAGE AT PEOPLES BANK,
DESOTO, AMOUNTS TO $47,675

The bank examiner mas found dis
crepancies to the amount of $47,675
in the accounts of the Peoples Bank of
DeSoto. There also existed over
drafts to the amount of ,622.74
but sufficient collateral has been
placed with the bank to protect the
overdrafts.
Of the existing shortage there were
no notes or collateral to show for this
amount, and the officials are not
aware of what caused the discrepancy
in the accounts.
Frank DIETRICH, secretary of the
Jefferson Trust Co., of Hillsboro. is
now in charge of the bank, having
been appointed special deputy bank
commissioner.

GOOD SEED CORN PAYS

Corn yields exceeding 100 bushels
an acre were the feature of one of the
recent corn shows conducted under
the Extension Service of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. There were
three yields, in fact, exceeding that
figure in the Harrison County show,
according to the report of Glenn S.
Hensley, County Agent. Argyll Tilley
grew ISL bushels to the acre, C. M.
Burris 1912 bushels and Cleo Mock
1862 bushels. Two yields ran be-
tween 95 and 100 bushels and three
between 80 and 95. The average of
the yields secured by the fifty con-
testants on their five acre plots was
08.1 bushels.
Several years ago the Bethany
Commercial Club started holding corn
shows and auctioning Off all the corn
shown. These earlys corn shows
brought in good corn from other coun-
ties in this state and several entries
of high class corn from Indiana. The
Harrison county farmers soon got
tired of these folks from Indiana and
from other counties of this state com
ing in and taking off all the first priz-
es so they began buying the best seed
corn they could secure. Two years
ago Argyll Tilley, a young farmer In
Harrison county, paid $62 for bush
ell of seed corn. OF. course, folks
laughed ct him and said he was fool
ish. Last year he won $125 in pre-
miums on corn grown from this seed
and sold over 500 bushels of seed at
So per buskel. This year he won first
at the County Show. His bushel of
corn shown counted SO per cent of his
score and his yield the other so per
cent, and by the way, his yield was
only ISL bushels per acre on his fixe
acre plot. The yield feature has been
recognized in our county shows only
since they came under the direction of
the Farm Bureau. Fifty entries were
made in the five acre yield class in the
recent show. The measuring of each
entrants plot was supervised by the
county agent and the yield recorded.
The entrant was then required to
show 70 ears of corn in the show.
These 70 ears to become the property
of the Farm Bureau and to be sold at
auction to help defray the expenses
of the premium list.

WHAT THE COUNTIES
ARE DOING

The last two or three weeks have
been marked by the annual meetings
of the farm bureaus in many Missouri
counties and brief review of the Of
ficlal action in a number of instances
will be significant. I'm
Livingston: AS there is no agent
here it was decided that J. A. Wisdom
of the Vocational Agriculture DEPART
ment of the Chillicothe high school be
asked to take charge of the pig club
work until other provision is made.
The committee on wool pool consid-
cred the possibility of joining the Ma
tional Wool Pool of Chicago but de-
ferred doing so until some definite in
formation was secured
Clark wv. A. Hook: Hearty en-
dorsement was given the Better Live
stock campaign now being pushed bv
the Agricultural Extension Service of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
Seventy-five members of the Clark
County Breeders Association held
their semi-annual banquet, January
Z. On this occasion H. M. Garlock,
state leader Of the breeders associa-
ton project, made this statement:
CLARK county has sold $79826 worth
of purebred stock during the year
approximately one-eighth of all sales
made by the seventeen counties from
which we receive reports.
Howell q. M. Britt: Most enthu-
siastic meeting ever held here. Every
member of the executive committee
pledged to do more than he had done
during the past year towards carry
ing out the definite program adopted
by the bureau.
Butler wv. w. Langston): Every
effort has been put forth to get as
many people from Butler county as
possible to attend Farmers Week at
Columbia but the great decrease in
farm products has so crippled our
farmers financially that they could not
spare the money for the trip. Two
official delegates, however, were ap-
pointed to represent the county: Mrs.
Lou Barnes in behalf of the women,
and Will Melton for the men.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says
Prices Charged Are I'm
warranted Makes
Own Hog Food,
With Better
Results

"That ne is all through paying fan
cy prices for stock foods and hog
remedies and that he is raising some
of the best hogs ever placed on the
market" was the statement made re-
Gently by E. H. Beckstead, well-known
hog raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neiglsbors, and have topped
the market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rene
dies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can
mike himself. He states that what
the hogs need are minerals, and tells
the secret OF his wonderful success by
explaining that he takes about five
pounds of ordinary mineraline (which
is pure concentrated minerals and
cost only a couple of dollarslS and
mixes same with enough bran or
filler to make hundred pounds. All
hogs, and especially brood sows, re-
quire minerals, as they keep them
free from worms, and in the pink of
condition, and are essential to the
hogs growth and well balanced ra-
ton. This inexpensive mixture
placed in a sheltered box where the
hogs can get at it as they need it,
viii produce far better results than
any high priced so-called stock foods.
Send two dollars to the Mineraline
Chemical CO., 1888 North Wells ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they win forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineral to make a full hundred
pounds. (Adv.l

BASKETBALL THE
MOST POPULAR SPORT

Nearly every high school in South
east Missouri has basketball team
this year. The game has grown in
popularity very rapidly. Large crowds
attend the games and much enthusi-
asm is in evidence. Strong teams are
being developed at number of places.
In the southepart of the district,
Jackson, Poplar Bluff, Cape Girardeau,
limo, Fornfelt, Chaffee, Morley,
Sikeston, Charleston, Campbell, NAL
den, Kennett, Charlottesville, Hayti,
Portageville, Dexter and Bloomfield
have all developed good teams. In
the north part of the district there are
not quite so many teams but some of
them are very strong. DeSoto, Des-
loge, Leadwood, Pennington, Flat
River, Esther, Ste. Genevieve, Fred
ericktown and Perryville are all play
ing good ball.
The playing season ends up in the
big tournament at the Teachers Col
lege in March. To be eligible to COM
pete a team must win at least one
half of its games. This insures good
play. No teams have ever managed
to win the tournament twice. The
winners have been:
1916-Sikeston,
1917-Charleston,
1918-Cape Girardeau,
1919-Fornfelt,
1920-Jackson.
Last year Poplar Bluff, Desloge, and
Festus finished next to jackson in the
order named. They will compete this
year and with other strong teams
from the district will make a fine
tournament.

ARE TURNED ON AGAIN

The Charleston street lights, re-
Gently ordered on by the State Public
Utilities Commission, were on last
night for the first time since Novem-
Der, when they were discontinued by
the Missouri Public Utilities Company
on account of the citizens and com
pany being unable to agree on a con-
tract. Three contracts made by the
City Council were voted down by the
citizens, and the lights were restricted
on rate made by the commission
pending another election on a time
contract.

Form of Paper Money
to be Changed

The government soon will
radically change thief form 0
it's paper money which has re-
NAMED unaltered almost since
the foundation of the Republic.
This change will be in the di-
rection of bills of smaller value.
Two reasons justify the change
The first is that of economy.
Paper which is now used FOR
government bank notes is made
by a secret process and is OBJ
tainable only at high cost. At
present four bills are made of
one sheet Of this paper. Uu-
der the proposed change five
bills will be made from a sh eet
of the same size. Another rea-
son for the change is to reduce
the danger of counterfeiting.
| the bills of smaller dsnomi-
nations are made smaller in
size while those of larger de-
nominations are left the same
size as now it will be impossi-
bic for counterfeiters to raise
the 81, So, SIS and $40 bills to
bills of larger denominations.
