LATE BL0sSOMNG APPLE
NOW BEING DEVELOPED
University Hertieultsrists Hope to
. Make Future Crops Safe
From Frost.

The tiny white bags seen on the trees
south Of the East Campus near College
avenue have been the cause Of many a
query. No, they are not to keep the frost
from biting the blossoms, as would be
supposed by the one who dosent know.
The sacks are used in an experiment
to develop an apple. which will be late
blossoming.t The later these apple trees
blossom the less danger there is Of frosi
killing them.
According to the head Of the horiicul-
tural department. there is one variety in
the University orchard, which, so far as
now known, has the atcst blossom at
tainable. This tree mas never lost crop
of fruit from the frost. Even last year,
when the heavy frost damaged so much

farmer must sell his produce, and the
rush to get his goods on the market drives
prices down; yet he must sell. in order
to pay his debts.
The stock raiser has ihe same difficul.
~. He gives his note to a stock loan
company for long period. The loan
company must get the money on short
term credits; consequently. they must
either refuse the loan to the farmer, or
Tcdiscount his paper. Cooperative mar
kcting associations have the same exper-
icncc. The urgency of these problems
was remcdied during the war by special
legislation, but the war measure expires
soon.
Mr.. Meyer has made an exhaustive
study, at first hand, of these conditions,
and proposes a solution in his report to
the President. Briefly, it is this: ID
enactment of legislation authorizing in
s,itulions TO rediscount paper of live.

Of the need for orderly marketing Of
farm products in more gradual manner;

to allow cooperative marketing associa-
tions to obtain adequate funds. All of
these proposals hit al the root of the evil.

Out of Town Girls Elected -,s r..
tO.Office at Stephens College

Something that Prof. Roy Ivan John
SON laughingly describes as the ''Psy-
chology of the Stranger must have been
at work when out of an enrolment which
comprises about 80 per cent Missouri
girls. the students at Stephens College
selected only one Missourian among the
six officers Of their civic association at a
recent election The other five officers are
filed by out-of-staie girls.
The Civic Association is the principal
organization of the school. all other So
cieties and associations being subordinate
to it. The young women at Stephens
didn't stop, however, at selecting oui-of
state girls for their ruling body. They
also elected girls from neighboring states
to the presidencies and presidencies
of the Y. W. c. A. and the Self Govern
ment Association.
Miss nellie Rocker of Council Bluffs.
Ia, leads the list of outside" officials. as
president of the Civic Association. Miss
Esther Hibbs of Smithland, Ky, is vice
president, Miss Frances Weigel of Colo
rado Springs, Colo, is secretary and Miss
Certie Carroll and her twin, Miss Leila
Carroll, of Vinita, Okla, are treasurer
and song leader respectively. The sole
Missourian in Office in the association is
Miss Gladys Estes of Dexter, who holds
the position of yell leader.
The Columbia evening Missourian., 1922-05-15

The Y. W. c. A. officers who hail from
other states are Miss Eva Lee. president
from Lamar, Colo, and Miss Icy Purcell,
vice-president. of Eldorado, Kan. The
president and vice-president of the Self
Government Association are Miss Mar
garet Muegge of Lamonte, Okla. and
Miss Helen Jones of Independence, Kan.
With this imposing list in view, Pro-
fessor Johnson believes that there should
he some explanation for the rather un.
usual preponderance of ''ouilanders" in
the executive positions Of the school. His
theory is that the girls from other states,
particularly from distant states, are the
objects of curiosity to the native Mis-
sourians and that the Missouri girls 90
out OF their way to become acquainted
with these girls, and so it follows that the
strangers become really better known
than the girls who are residents of Mis-
souri,. ...t
As sort of corollary to this theory,
he says, the Missouri students exhibit a
tendency to keep TO themselves, seldom
going to the trouble making friends
among the students in the college gener-
ally, and so do not achieve the general
popularity that might be theirs.
At any rate. it is evident that the
strangers quickly cease being strangers.

ART PREVENTS. CRIME.

An ounce Of prevention is worth q
pound of cure" said the sage, who knew
from experience. Prevention is the pos
tive correction for misdemeanors as op
posed TO the negative-it is do" instead
Of don't" ...........
The ounce Of pleasant prevention which
is worth more than pound Of cure for
our modern plague Of crime is art. An
in any form is inspiring, esthetic and up
lifting. 1t takes the mind away from
sordidness and materialism. 1t gives the
spirit mastery over the body. 1t fills
the thoughts with beauty. 1t soothes the
troubled nerves grown jagged with hectic
striving and s,raining.
Crime is the result Of period Of un.
balanced thinking. be it years. months, or
days. Anything that can creep into the
mind and fill it with wholesome normality
is TO great degree a preventive. Art
can do it. Under the influence, of real
ari either as one who merely appreciates
and enjoys it or as one who creates it,
man is not wholly the animal. He is, in
part. spirit. His tastes will become re-
pulsed at the thought of crime. His
ideas Of life will make room for the beau.
,iful. His thoughts will have wings that
may bear them up from the pitfalls Of
everyday living. His nerves will find
rest.

FARMERS CREDITS.

Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director
Of the War Finance Corporation, in a
recent report to President Harding, urged
that the authority Of the corporation to
make loans for agricultural purposes be
extended for six months. The present
power expires July l. Mr.. Meyers rec
ommendation is Of vital interest to farm
ers, and merits their hearty support.
In the economic and financial evolution
Of the country, the farmers welfare has
been neglected. The man who produces

DYING WISH MAY SAVE SPY
Betrayer Of Edith Cavell Expected
to Escape Execution,

BRUSSELS, May l5.-A dying queen
last wish which she made as
she lay on her death bed in her Brussels
Palace, is expected to save the life Of
Armand Jeannes, convicted spy and
alleged betrayer of Nurse Cavell.
Jeannes SITS in a cell at Mons follow.
ing his conviction, awaiting the result Of
his appeal against the sentence Of death.
He knows, almost certainly, thai he
will not die because of his betrayal Of
his country, but that his sentence will
be made one of life Imprisonment.
There has been but one execution in
Belgium since 1862. Then four mem
bers of the notorious BLACK Gang" of
robbers were executed on circumstan-
tial evidence. Two Of them. up TO the
moment they were guillotined, swore
their innocence.
Belgium has not yet recovered COM
pletely from the revulsion of feeling
among the population. Many people be-
lieved the two Black Cangsters to be in.
nOcent.
The queen was so deeply affected that
when she was dying she exacted a prom.
ise from the king that he would do all
he could to prevent capital punishment.
Life Imprisonment can be repaired
she said, 'while an innocent man is un-
dergoing it; but there is no reparation
for man wrongly executed"
Since that day there has been but one
execution-that of a soldier who during
the bar brutally murdered his sweet
heart. Because Of the dangerous ex.
ample at time when public morality
was threatened, the soldier was exc.
cuted.
In Belgium now, a person condemned
to death appeals from the sentence. II
he refuses, his counsel or even the pub.
lie prosecutor appeals. The petition goes
before the minister of justice. who makes
a repor-so far always for Ieniency.
That goes to the king. The king al
ways acts on the minister's report. King
Albert. bound by his grandmother wish.
would refuse in any event to be
party to execution of the death penalty.
The case of the spy Douhard was al
most parallel with that of Jeannes. Doz-
ems of petitions were laid before Parlia-
ment calling for his execution. Public
md press almost unanimously demanded
hat Douhard, who had denounced scores
'f persons to the Germans. be killed.
The minister Of justice declined to
recommend execution, and the king iel.

THE NEW BOOKS
He Who Gets Slapped."

A play by Leonid Andreyev, a Russian.
about gentleman who gives up his lit.
erature and philosophy to enter circus
as clown, one who gets slapped. He
is the embodiment Of the fine arts, civil.
izaton and philosophy. and the people
laugh at him, not knowing that they are
thereby laughing at themselves. The au.
thor does not believe in anything good
in peoples but has sardonic and cynical
sort Of philosophy which is interesting 10
study, but sometimes hard to understand.
This is book which should appeal to
the thinker and philosopher but hardly TO
the masses.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
FEWER WAGE REDUCTIONS.

Wage reductions were not as numer
Gus in March as during the last several
preceding months, according TO the New
York Stale Department of Labor. In
fact, some Of the industries reported in.
c:cisei earnings. With wage scale as a
barometer, we can sec that business is
on L steady upgrade trend.
Pari Of the increase in wages comes
from the seasonal activities in various
industries, but there seems to be a gen.
c.al awakening along all lines. The rail-
roads are spending money on repair work,
building and allied trades show increased
activity. and manufacturing increases as
a sound, stable market looms in sight. A
strong revival in the automobile business
has added many to the pay-rolls. Then
there is the usual call for farm help
a. this time of year.
Many Of the factories that have been
working On part time schedules have re
turned to full time employment, and some
Of the industries have increased the work
ing time of their men, thus adding add.
tional hours to producton. Unemploy.
mcnt decreases and with it comes an in
crease in labor efficiency.
