Desire Upholds Business

The basic changes that have taken place in business during the past year or more-spe- officially the change in price levels and price tendencies have caused business men every- where to think less superficially and more fundamentally about business.
 Great basic facts which were but little realized, except by thinkers along economic lines, have now become clearer to the public at large, and to business leaders in particular.
 One such fact is that Desire is the foundation of business. It is the desire of the people for any article of commerce that makes it profitable to produce it. When that desire fails all the agencies of its production must cease to operate.
 This fact was considered aca- demic until the nationwide ces- sation of liberal buying made it a matter of cardinal importance, and the question of the hour be- came the means, if any, of re- storing the popular desire to do business-the desire to buy.
 It came to be seen that the public desire for the products of a business or an industry was

the only real and permanent as- set. Every other assumed asset became a liability when that de- sire subsided.
 It is upon this basic fact that Advertising rests.
 It is the function of Advertis- ing to create desire.
 The desire that is created by Advertising is always some spe- cialized form of an elemental need. Elemental needs, in their simple form, are the raw mater ial out of which must be created the Demand for the products of industry. This Demand, in its turn, upholds civilization itself. It is the one necessary thing that inspires all human activity.
 It is the function of Art and Industry to take the raw mater. ials of nature and refine them into products that constitute Supply. It is the function of Advertising to take the raw ma. terials of elemental need for food, shelter, and clothing, and refine them into the desire for the finest products of Art ard Industry, and these desires con- stitute Demand. Each function is as important as the other. And now the time has come when this face is realized as never before.

PARENT AND TEACHER

Inc aren't edCncfs AssOCldtlon. IN
promoting a closer mutual understanding
between child, parent and teacher, is ef-
fc-tivc'y aiding in the advancement Of
the race inasmuch as the child Of TODAY
i the man of tomorrow. and the things
that ere done for him now determine
what he shall do in the future. The child
entering school is in a new world; il is
rcccssary for him not only to learn many
new things, but to forget some of the
ideas picked up at the family hreside. 1t
is bewildering place and remains in
some part bewildering throughout public
school life. 1t is the Parent.Teachers
Association that relieves the conscious
strain that often results between the
teacher and the child, unused to the new
conditions A cooperation between the
parent and teacher often means the trans
formation of a unwilling or an unpro-
gressfve child into an apt pupil.
The work of the Parent Teachers As
scciation in Boone County, however, is
not confined merely TO the promotion Of
greater harm ny. Its activities have prob
ably best been shown recently at Nc.
CURE School, where it has added to the
library, painted the interior, pvt up wins
dow shades and curtains, improved the
grounds, added new porch, cleaned the
well. and made the school a community
center
The worth Of the Parent Teachers As
sociation is the greater since il indulges
in more than theory. Its practical work
in making the school better is direct
sep in the advancement Of the commu.

Forrnality is the FIRST essential to sue
cessful reporting in China, according to

In an interview with Mr.. Parry, the
Far Eas, editor Of Editor and Publisher,
writes in that magazine, Of the strict ad-
hercnce 10 fixed sets of unwritten rules
with which the successful newspaper man
must comply.

according to the rules. At the Foreign
Office cards must be left for Everyone from
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs down to

must be deposited in the proper recepta-

next day, all the officials thus notified

"Say, is there anyone in town who
can repair my typewriter? And by the
way, who owns the Adams Building?"
These are only two of the many CUES
tions Fred Eldean, secretary Of the Com
mercial Club, is called on to answer
daily.
Judging from the nrmber OF re-
quests, and the character of information
they ask for, it is evident that the people
think that We have ceased to function
as a Commercial Club, and turned our
office into a general information bu-
reau," Eldean said. ~
Friday man called Eldean and want.
ed to know where he could get a job.
He hardly got through talking to this
man when the telephone rang again. This
time an indignant traveller asked him
why the Commercial Club didn't get a
main line train through Columbia.
Last week a woman called him and
wanted to know where she could get an
apartment. He could not give her the
desired information, but evidently the
woman succeeded in securing an apart
ment as she called him the following
morning asking where she might list her
rooms which she wanted to rent.
Even some of the business men of the
city are unfamiliar with the real purpose
and function of the organization. The
Commercial Club is often requested TO
approve advertising plans. Eldean says
that this is beyond their authority, and
this function is entrusted to an organi-
zation of city merchants.
A few days ago a man called Eldean
and asked him whether full house or
royal flush was higher in poker. While
he failed to claim ignorance of the game,
tine secretary declined to settle 1t.
Thursday girl stepped in 10 his Of
flee and asked who is the national pres
idcnt Of the War Mothers. Eldean
thought that he would be unable to ans
wer her until he accidently glanced
on the wall and noticed the charter
granted to the local chapter of that or
ganization. Mrs. Helen Moore" he
answered, and he was glad that at least
one person asked him for information
that he could furnish.

AW ALUMNUS RECALLS
UNIVERSITY FRANKS OF.
4 HALF-CENTURY AGO

On Washington's birthday fifty wears
ago Col. Jay L. Torrey's artillery at the
University of Missouri drilled for two
hours.
1T was bitter cold" said DR.. William
Mittlebach, Boonville druggist, who is
visiting Mr.. and Mrs Henry Reinhart,
l2l5 Walnu, street. who was a member
Of the company, ''and some of the artil-
lery boys decided that they didn't want
to drill. We had two cannon. They dis
sppeared. The University authorities
found one of them away over in the
east end of town, but they couldn't find
the other.

went on-he had had to stop to chuckle
the lake on the campus began to go
dry and one day the mouth of the sec.
ond cannon was seen sticking out of the
water. They had never thought of drag
ding the lake for it,"
Doctor Miulebach has been accused Of
completely in the disappearance of the
cannon. He really did not have anything
to do with it though, because, as he
said, he was too small.
Maybe" he offered, the boys lost
control Of it and it rolled into the lake" !"

We played townball with hard rubber
ball. 1t took the place of baseball, too" :"
The greatest difference that Doctor
Mittelbach notices in the University is
the presence of girls on the campus.
'- "There were only about 600 students
then, and girls didn't go. believe there
were three in school, but two Of them
were President Reads daughters he
said. 1T was about a century ago that
was here and the only building recog-
nize is the old Scientific Building" The
Scientific Building is now Switzler Hall.
The pillars, as he called the Colums.
were then part of the Administration
Building.
None of the faculty members have
stayed through the fifty years since he
was a sophomore DIR. A. W. McAlesier
was just starting the Schoo! Of Medicine
then.
Doctor Mittelbach was one Of the first
graduates of the Boon,illc eighth grade.
The district then paid the tuition of its
honor graduates to the University. Thl;
was how he happened to come. For thirty
years he has been a member of the Boon
vile school board, until, laughs Mrs.
Mitclbach, when they used to ask the
children who the school belonged TO, they
all answered with one accord. Why, Doc
tor Mittelbach.' He has seen the grade

three poorly equipped rooms to struc-

MISSOURI SPORTsMANSHIP

In intercollegiate contests it is The
spectators and not the athletes who exhib
ii dishonesty in sports This is the opin
ion Of Professor Royce, in his essay or
loyzlty. Ii is easy enough for the play
crs 70 be scrupulously fair when the
roo;crs arc honest; The best directors ol
athlciics teach their teams 10 prefer to
lose honorably rather than to win by un
fair tactics.
This same spirit of being above suspi
cion of rnfairness has for many years
hccn evident among supporters Of the
Tigers. The Missouri spectator is quick
TO re- izc a good player and TO be-
s;ow r.a.se. This fact was illustrated al
the game with Grinnell. In several in.
stances when the opposing team made a
good play. the spectators recognized the
fact by clapping their hands in appre-
oiation. Whether Missouri retains this
reputation of fairness depends entirely
rpon Eic present supporters Of the IT,
gers. Tho Tigers themselves will s,oop
10 no unspcr!snanlike conduct.
The highest term Of approval which
enc college. enc city, one team. one man
can pay to another is to praise his sports
mlnship. For to be a sportsman is to
sing'c cnc's self out as being a true gen.
iieman, as having control Of himself.
Sport is so central a part Of American
life that honesty on the athletic field
means honesty of il as well. The atii-
rudc which Missouri displays in the res,
of the games will, therefore. be a gauge
Of character and moral tendency Of the
University.
The spirit Of loyalty and fairness which
has led roo,ers Of former years TO stand
rpaa The blcachers, singing, "Old Mis-
souri, with tears streaming down their
i@ccs-this is the true sportsmanship Of
the University This is the sportsmanship
which the students Of 1922 must dis
play for the honor Of -'Old Mizzou' and
the glory Of the Black and Old Gold.

OLD-FASHIONED SPLIT
BASKETS ARE WOVEN
BY COLUMBIA WOMAN

The strong old split basket. which
was representative of the two-fisted civ
ilization that was necessary to win the
West, is almost thing of the past. 0c-
casionally the baskets are TO be found
on the Columbia market. but no. often.
The art of baskeimaking has become a
pastime, and the baskets are made more
for ornament than for use.
Mrs. Florence Keller is one Of tie few
who know the art of making cld-fash-
ioned baskets that have the toughness
and life of the white oak saplings from
which they are made. Strong ribbed
and well made as sea craft, these bas-
kefs can stand the wear of hard service.
A local dealer buys all she can make.
The sinews of young. white oaks fur
nish the material for her baskets The
wood of a tree that is more than a half
foot in diameter cannot be used in this
work. The saplings are cut and barked.
and the white wood that is on the out
side of the trunk is shaved into long.
thin shavings. known as splits. The
darker wood near the heart Of the tree
can be shaped and used for ribs and
hoops. The wood is used Immediately
after il is cut, and whatever seasoning
it gets, it gets after it becomes basket
II is impossible to use the wood after
it has seasoned, and, if it becomes even
2 weeks old, it must be soaked before
it is used.
The first step in making basket is
to shape, and place the hoops. There
are two main hoops, which cross at right
angles. These form the handle and the
heavy piece at the bottom, In general
the hoops determine the size and shape
Of the basket. The handle runs clear
around and forms the main-stay Of the
bottom. These hoops are made of wood
near the heart of the tree They are
fastened together by small nails, which
are the only nails used in the basket.
Above the main hoop which forms the
top, a smaller hoop is run to make a
place to lash the ends of the splits. After
the hoops are in place and fastened. they
are wrapped at the. intersection with
split. This makes places to fasten the
ends Of the ribs.
The ribs are next to be shaped and
placed. They are also made of the dark
cr wood. The fibs can 60 into the
frame Of the basket four at time, or.
il the basket maker is skilled enough,
all the ribs can be placed at one time.
Mrs. Keller can work them all in at one
time. When the ribs are placed. the
splits are woven through them. The
split goes over one rib. under the next,
over the next and 50 on until it comes
to the small hoop above the main hoop
Of the basket. There it is whipped under
and fastened. When the ribs and hoops
are well lashed with the splits, the
basket is ready to stand the wear and
tear Of years.
Mrs. Keller makes baskets Of all sizes.
The smallest is about an inch high, and
the top is little larger than half
dollar. This miniature is in every way
a counterpart Of its larger and strong
er brother.
