COW TESTING IN
NINE N T
Lafayette and Saline Are Latest
Counties Organized.

The organization of the La
fayette-Saline Cow Testing AS
ISOLATION has just been complet-
ed by E. M. Harmon, and M.
J. Regan, dairy extension spec
ialists for the College of Agri-
culture. The association con-
sists of % dairymen in Lafay-
cite and Saline Counties. The
officers are John F. Bruins, j. w.
Klingenberg and E. H. Walken-
horst all from Concordia. The
success of the association is
very largely due to the work of
these three men, They have
employed Berthold Schaefer, a
former short course student in
the College or Agriculture to
take charge of the association
and he will begin work June /.
This makes nine counties in
the state which have COW test
ing associations in operation.
They are Pettis, Webster, Mar
ion, Greene, Rails, st. Louis,
st. Charles, Lafayette and Sa-
line. Webster leads with two
complete associations while
Greene will start a second as
ISOLATION about June 1. Law
renee, Newton, Andrew, Lincoln
and Pike counties also expect to
have associations in operation
before the summer is over.
These cow testing associations
are probably doing more than
any other one single factor to
increase the production and
profit Of the Missouri herds.

THE LIGHT is DAwNING

The United States has resum-
ed its rightful place in the coun-
ellis of the allies.
Word has been given to delay
the Knox peace" resolution in
congress.
Gradually the light breaks.
More and more the truth is be-
ing borne in upon the admins
tration that the only possible
course for the United States to-
day, as yesterday, is to partici-
pate in the peace settlement to
which all other nations have a.
greed. Today there seems to be
no alternative. The compelling
force of almost irresistible cir
cumstances is driving, and in
face of it partisanship and per-
sonalities must be forgotten.
How much the administration
intends to resist the tide of e.
vent, how far to travel with it,
only the future can disclose; for,
in the face of the kaleidoscope
changes in Europe no man can
forecast the details of policy
from day to day to the next. But
this much is clear: that we are
being foced constantly to work
more closely with the allies with
whom we fought and with whom
we wrote the peace.
Months ago advocates of rat
ifcation gave solemn warning
that if America should elect to
delay cooperation in world set
tlement, such chaos would re-
suit that we would be compelled
to step in for the salvation of
ourselves and of all others.
Today, with further penetra-
ton of Germany to force acqui-
essence just averted, we have
the spectacle Of revolt in Pc.
land where Germans seek tc
fight with the allies against in
surgents, of Russia menacing
on the east. Today, as yester-
day, our interests are the inter
ests of our allies, and theirs are
ours.
That fact events are making
clear, even to those who would
not see.

In 80 far as one can generalize from
the experience Of the last few years,
women are taking all their new civic
duties with commendable thorough
ness. The widespread activities of the
women's citizen associations have done
much to arouse the female voter to the
realities. and more especially the re-
sponsibilities of civic life. And these
excellent bodies have worked on likely
material, for those women who have
thrown themselves into public affairs
have not erred on the side of under
rating the value Of hard work, says
Manchester Guardian. Tutors who
have to teach adult students Of both
sexes have rarely been able to censure
women students for lack of industry.

Boards BACK IN POLITICS.

66AnOS DAWN IN FOII IiSo.~L,
Boards are in again. Surely it is no
mere coincidence that simultaneously
with the appointment of Charles Evans
Hughes as secretary of state comes
the information that Sir Joseph Cook
is to be high commissioner for Aus
tralia in London. Sir Joseph's beard
is the pride of the Antipodes. Or again.
in South Africa, the electorate rejected
General Hertzog, who has nothing but
4 mustache, for the bearded Smutz.
And Lenin imperturbably holds his
own, with a beard, while the smooth
and smooth-shaven Kerensky is not
merely out, but outside. Venizelos, they
say, was never so popular as since his
withdrawal, and the Italian press in
slsts that when he makes q move Con-
stantine Is doomed. His is the finest
beard in Europe, as Mr.. Shaw will ad-
NIT. Then look at BRAND and the pre-
carious foothoId he has In the French
premiership-lacking q beard. The
lesson is obvious, says Detroit News.
The world realizes it has had a close
shave and intends to do it's own trim

That reporting is a young mans
business is illustrated in some news
paper very day by some news item
telling about something, usually un-
fortunate, that happened to- an old
man or an aged woman. Often the
aged person, it develops somewhere in
the story, is fifty-three, we will say,
or somewhere between fifty and sixty.
AS every editor has reason to know,
this youthful point of view of the, re-
porter not infrequently is resented by
the aged person referred to. To be
run over by the motorcar was bad
enough, but to be called aged is adding
insult to injury. Nobody under seventy
seems old to himself, and many be-
tween seventy-fve and eighty would
rather not be considered aged.

Many q man has sacrificed every
thing for the dollar. He has abandoned
his friends, turned his back on recrea-
ton and turned his every thought and
ambition toward the accumulation of
jingling silver and clinking gold. And
when he has reached his goal, and has
achieved what he set out to do he
has found himself friendless and
alone. Social isolation is his. He no
pleasures are beyond him. Life holds
nothing more in store than the mere
accumulation Of more money. That,
it seems to us, is real poverty.
