For some illogical reason a well
dellned but quite unnecessary jeal
ousy still exists between city people
and country folk. The city dweller
envies the farmer his freedom of ac
tion and his healthy, invigorating
work, while the people of the farm
envy the city man's "clean" work
and more exciting type of amuse
ments. Both sides of the argument are
right, and both sides are equally
wrong. There is a hack-to-the-farm
moement in the city and there is a
back-to-the-city moement on the
farm. The city man wishes to leave
behind the daily grind of the oflice or
workshop and seek a new life in the
country. The farmer, or the farm
er's son. wishes to leave behind the
monotonous manual labor of tilling
the soil and seek the "easy" life of the
city, with all the luxury and gayety
of city living.
The proper place for each one is
just where he Is. Particularly today
this point is to be emphasized. The
world is at war. To win the war
and put the world at peace is the task
to which we are all consecrated. The
utmost otficiency is demanded of
everyone. The farmer must remain
at his plow to insure a constant food
supply to our armies. It is no time
for clerks and mechanics to leave
their jobs to trade places with the
farmer. It is not the time for the
farmer to come to town to try his
hand at the office or in the shop.
Then, why this jealousy between
the two? Is not the work of each
equally necessary? The only answer
we have to this question is in the
spirit of the average American. Our
forefathers, the pioneers who blazed
the trails into the wilderness, had
this same spirit. It is that of trying
something new. Xo American is ever
satisfied with his present state. He
Is constantly seeking for something
new. So it is with the farmer and his
sons and daughters. And so it is with
the habitants of our cities. The place
for Americans now is the place for
which the individual is best trained
to All efficiently.
A St. Louis man was painfully in
jured recently when his new motor
car refused to stop at the command,
"Whoa!" Thi3 motorist was slightly
ahead of his time. Motor cars of the
future will doubtless have the human
brain attachment, but the 1917 mod
els aretill lacking in this respect.
The Ragfes Tir
"JIIss Haroun AI-Baschld."
The fantastic and fascinating title,
"Miss Haroun Al-Raschid," suggests
unusual noelty and expectation
finds abundant fulfillment. It might
be called the footnotes to Arabian
Knights, but it is most thoroughly
modern in its treatment and in its
romance. It is a story of Joy and ad
venture, of romance, of fun, and of the)
zest of life. It was written by Jessie
Douglas Kerruish in competition for
the $5,000 prize, which it easily
captured. As an example, of a first
novel by a new writer It exhibits a
vivacity, a nerve and an amazing
wealth of incident that would crown
the work of a tried and skilled writer.
Its plot is laid in Mesopotamia and
as an accurate transcpirt of Oriental
life it is of particular intrinsic in
tcresL Taken simply as a story it is
well worth reading.

SHIP RUST KESISTAXT WHEAT
University Farm Crops Department
Recenty Sent Samples to Japan.
The farm crops department of the
College of Agriculture has shipped
nine, four-ounce samples of rust
resistant varieties of wheat to the
Hokkaido Agricultural Experiment
Station at Sapporo, Japan. K. Oshima,
director of the station, asked for the
wheat to replace the present kinds of
seed wheat in Hokkaido, as it is suf
fering greatly from rust. No wheat
is immune from rust, but the nine
kinds sent from here were the least
affected by rust among one hundred
and fourteen varieties grown at the
Missouri Experiment Station last
year.
FIRST AID INCLUDED
Food Preservation Will Be
Stressed Conservation to
Be Theme.
For the women who want to do their
part in the war, the College of Agri
culture of Missouri will give an
emergency short course in home
economics from October 31 to Decem
ber 31, under Miss Louise Stanley.
The only eligibility required is that
the students be at least sixteen years
old. They may come from the country
school, the city high school or they
may be housewives who choose to
take a seven week's vacation to study
new methods. The course is to teach
conservation. The College of Agri
culture feels that conservation is as
important as increased production and
that conservation is the complement of
production.
The selection and preparation of
foods will bo considered in all its
phases. Special courses in the making
of bread from wheat substitutes and
the cooking of cheaper cuts of meat,
will be given. Students will learn
how to plan meals from the standpoint
of food value and cost. Food pre
servation will be stressed in particu
lar. The drying and canning of
fruits and vegetables will be taught
so thoroughly that the students can
take an active part in directing the
putting of any canned or dried foods
next summer. Furthermore, students
at the end of the term will know how
to care for the sick and give first aid
in case of an accident. This will be
taught by a graduate nurse.
Students in the short course may
take any other course in the College
of Agriculture but their attention is
especially called to the courses in
farm management, farm dairying -vegetable
gardening and farm butter-making.

SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY
Our public men do not object to
criticism. Their acts and their votes
are recognized as proper bubjects for
criticism. But slander and abuse are
not criticism.
It has been said that true democra
cy would allow the belief and opinion
of one man to be recognized even
though that one man stood alone in
his belief and all the rest of the
world was against him. The rest of
the world would have no more right
in depriving, or trying to deprive,
him of his opinion than he would
have in depriving the rest of the
world of Its opinion If he had such
power.
In this democratic country of ours
there are newspapers that will slan
der and treat unfairly an) one In pub
lic life whose official acts are not in
accord with the editor's views. Some
go so far as to prohibit the use of ad
vertising columns to men of a differ
ent political faith.
The newspaper that will not let the
other side be heard has no place in the
newspaper world the man who will
not allow his fellow man to say what
he conscientiously believes has no
place in public life and no important
place in private life.
Play fair. If a legislator makes
a false statement to gain a point or
If his logic is imperfect, the newspa
pers and the public can properly cor
rect him. But they should not ques
tion his motives because his opinions
differ from theirs. The newspapers
and the public have a right, it is
their duty, to say and fight for what
they think is the country's good, and
the legislator has the same right to
