-SLACKER" OR NOT!
Thousands of men lie dead, maimed
or disabled as the result of two years
of European war. Thousands more
will meet like fates before peace is
declared. What will bo the result of
this slaughter of all the potential ar
tists of Europe no one can foresee.
That many great painters, sculptors
authors and statesmen shall never
reach the fruition of their genius is
not to be doubted. What, then, of the
living literary man who remained at
home!
Thirty-fire vcars old, in the prime
of physical and mental powers, gifted
with the soul or the singer and the
attraction for men of the athlete, Al
fred Noyc8, during the first year of
the great war, remained a visitor in
America. Those who heard him when
he was in Columbia will remember the
impassioned defense of England which
he made in his brief address and the
intense patriotism which voice and
words brought out in his poems.
Skeptics said. Why is he not fighting
for his beloved England?
What personal reasons Mr. Noes
might give no one knows. Those who
can picture what black disaster has
fallen upon all the culture and arts
of England, France, Germany, Russia
and the Balkans can only feel that,
whether or not his reasons are ade
quate, England needs him alive, not
dead. A man who at thirty, had
founded a new school of poetry whose
long musical lines and abundant
rhyme popularized poetry with many
unlitcrary persons, who remained
clean and virile, a man to be admired
for sheer manliness, who put before a
doubting public a new ideal of a poet
such a man is one whom the new
England, rising from the ashes, will
need.
Noycs is not a dreamer. Neither is
he poet of the commonplace. The-sea
is his field; England is his subject.
His scholarship comprehends the sig
nificance of England's history, and his
heart Interprets the England of today.
As a rallying point for the literature
which will follow the war, if slowly,
and as a singer of ballads which will
put new heart into the English race,
Alfred Noyes cannot be spared to the
battle line.
A greater than Noycs may die on
the battlefield. He may already have
died. This we cannot know. But
that Noycs Is one of the biggest forces
in the literary world we do know.
Neither England nor the world can
spare him.

IS BOOSTING SEED CORN WEEK
Jewell Mayes Helps In Campaign to
Secure larger Yield In Stole.
Jewell Mayes, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, has taken
advantage of the American Royal to
arouse interest in "Seed Corn Week."
He shows that the proper selection of
seed corn In Jasper County has in
creased the corn crop five bushels to
the acre.
"Corn growing is our greatest busi
ness," said Mr. Mayes. "It is conceded
by those who have tried it that if the
seed corn were all gathered before
heavy frosts and freezing weather and
properly housed with reference to
temperature and moisture the average
crop of the state should be increased
from one to five bushels to the acre.
"For that reason the week of Oct
16 to 21 has been set aside for seed
corn gathering, and we hope that Mis
souri generally- will observe it."

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING
Just what would be the procedure if
Columbia cared to adopt commis
sion goTcrnmcnt?
Under the Missouri statute of
March 28, 1913, which covers the sub
ject, the first step would be a petition
presented to the mayor signed by
voters equal in number to at least 25
per cent of all the votes cast for all
candidates for major at the last pre
ceding city election. This petition
would ask for a vote on the question.
The mayor, then, by proclamation
ftould submit the Question to the
voters within the next two months. If
more than halt the votes cast were in
favor of the proposed change, the
measure would be declared passed.
But If more than half the votes were
against the change, the question could
not be reconsidered for two years.
Under the present census figure of
9,662. the voters would elect a mavor
and two councilracn. However, if the
population of Columbia were found to
be more than 12,000, three council
men would be elected at the next
regular city election, unless the regu
lar election was not to be held with
in the next six months. In that case
a special election would be called.
Under the new system elections by
wards are abolished. Any person may
