Because we were supposed to think of nothing but play, no formal meetings were held but everv evenine after dinner, we gathered for an informal discussion, to exchange ideas and ohms. for we considered these sidelights on the WTi'ting profession as the most inter esting part of the outing. On "Poets Evening" we listened to selections read by the poets who were present and dis cussed the poetic value of their work." Tlie six representatives from Columbia formed .the largest group from any city in the state.' Among the writers who were present were: J.

Mu who is at present living at 604 Conley avenue. Mr. Boucher lias just returned from the Crand Army of the Republic re union at Indianappolis In making the trip. he took a traw vote of the train passenger both going and coming. Part of the trains were trans-continental, all contained the average set of Americans who are wandering from one place to another. Here are tlie results: From St. Louis to Indianapolis he traveled with the Mis- Muri department of the Uvii War vet erans It was madi up of old soldiers or their relatives and of course can not be taken as an estimate of a general vote. The total vote was: Harding, 288; Cox, 03 and Debs 1. After what he terms the mosi delight ful receptions of his life, Mr. Boucher journeyed from Indianappolis to Terra Haute. This was on a main line train and the passengers were average citizens The vote was: Harding, 115; Cox, 29; Debs 2. Nineteen were noncommittal. These last were the know-nothings said Mr. Boucher as their looks plainly indi cated. From Terra Hauta Haute he made a trip into Southern Indiana to visit rela tives This count made on a local train was as follows: Harding, 27; Cox, 12; Debs, ; know-nothings 12. He doubled back out of the south part of lhe state to the'fnain line to St. Louis. He rode on a main line train which came out of Kentucky and was going by Evans- ville to Chicago. The vote gave tlie fob lowing count; Harding, 60; Cox, 30; know-nothings 10. On the return trip to St. Iim he took "the final count. It contained pas sengers from the New England stales The vote was: Harding, 70; Oix, 25; Debs 2; know-nothings, -10. Mr. Boucher commented on tlie inter est the women Jkw in voting. He said they, a I ways spoke right out and readily answered any question on their politics. To canvass a train he "would start in one coach and proceed up the aisle seat by seat taking the vote as he went. Some passengers did not know the presidential candidates names but would readily an nounce their politics as Democratic or Republican. He began this system of taking a straw vote in 1880 when Garfield ran for Pres ident and has continue1 it every four years since that time. StenoerraDher Prefers Cave Man . . - Boss Who Doesn't Smoke Or Face Il has brn di-covned that tttnofra phent arc human. The boss that consid ers thrm as mere machinrs to fxx out his corrfspondfwe on lmr would br sur prised at some, of the. thoughts concerning him thauare going on in the brain that guides the swift pencil and the swifter fingers on tlie Les.

"That is one who gets mad on general principles once in a while. It amues me and it is a sort of safety ralve for him. I aUi like onewhu goes fithing oc casionally ami leaves me alone to boss mslf." A stenographer who has worked for seven jears for the same Erin, but who has taken dictations from a great num ber of men during that lime, said tliat working Jot a new boss is like, getting used taa 7iw.pair of shoes. After learn ing the employer s a everything goes smoniluv.She considers the ideal n ditionsne, in which there is co-oprr-ation'jYnd no consciousness of being "bossed. .Men are generally very con eiderate"In dictating, she finds, and she thinks, that mean and inconsiderate buss es are found only In the movies. CIIEWINC CUM IN OirOSE "Itiny employers liave habits thai are objectionable to stenographers, saitf one of wide experience, but of course we can say nothing. It is part of our job to adapt ourselves lo our position.

The floor walking boss is enough t make any sie nographer nervous, but he" is no worse than. ,the one who smokes. He must have "Ills cigar or cigarette while die tatinf '.and the smoke and alies are sufficient lo make the stenographer breakover lo chewing gum, which no boss will tolerate or get out a cigarette lo kep even nilli him. "Then there is the birss who lavs an important letter on h!s desk thinking he gave it to the stenographer to file, and blames her when it iloesn't anDcar until he cleans up the desk about a month later.' I anight mention also the boss who has a position to riiaintain at the head of his office and sets about doing so in- a superior, tarnished hardwood sorttiof way. "Sometimes you will find a boss who wails until lialf an lmur before time to go home to dictate his letters.

The man wlio think he knows and doesn't, causes many a cap able gill to seek another position, t wilt say, however, that a surprising number of business men have tt knowledge of shorthand and correct forms in business correspondence. Kuliy 75 per cent of the professors in the University are in litis class and conserpiently are exacting in their demands upon a stenographer's skill. "A capable girl Willi lact can iiften educate an cmplover into accepting the best methods in his office. Tlie appre ciative man will promote the efficiency of his office help while the nagging man will! his intolerance is instrumental in preventing co-operation. "It may cost an employer money and incomenirnce to train a stenographer in ; h-chnical jdiases of his.busincss. but think of tbe'muney he loses if, after she js trained, he does not raise her pay in accordance with her increased value and she gets increased pay elsewh-re.

PARStBTJREAU IN CO-OP PLAN Committee of 17 Meets As First Step of New Grain Mar keting Plan. The "Committee of 17." selected by President Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation, met last week at lhe Hotel LaSalle. Chicago. William Hirlh. publisher of the Missouri Farmer, was one of the two Missouri men at the meeting. This organization meeting was the first step in forming a co-operative national grain marketing plan. The work of the eommiltee war sub divided as follows: (1) cooperative marketing; 12) costs of marketing: 13) storage -and transportation: (4) con sumption and export; (5) finance. To study cooperative marketing mctlind lhe eommiltee was divided into four groups. It was felt that in the sludv of certain problems the services of trained economists would be required and subcommittees on these subjects will employ outside help as they may judge necessary. Tlie committee adjourned to meet again on November V6, when the sub committees will report on the progress of work assigned to them. A statement was issued to the press or the committee which said in part: "With reference lo the recent smash in the grain market, however, we desire lo sound a note of profound warning lest in our zeal lo get back to normal' we delilierately invite other ills more seri ous than thase'from which we now suf ferfor lo be able to buy bread and meat at a rather high price is better than not lo be able to bjy enough of them at any price. "Contrary to popular belief, farmers did not as a class make money out of the war period: n many cases they lost on grain and live stock. Hundreds of coun try elevators are at this moment filled with wheat purchased ot the higher markets of a month or six weeks ago and because of ear shortage it lias been impossible to get this wheat to market. It is no exaggeration to say that u the present price of wheat is maintained the working capita of many of these ele vators will be swept completely away. 'Consumers as well as producers are virtually interested in ths development of a business system of marketing food products tliat will eliminate speculation and wildly fluctuating markets. The Farmers Marketing Committee of 17 will use every effort lo devise and per fect such a system at the earliest possible date." . The Gasoline Situation in 1910 and Now rl 1910 there were approximately 400 thousand cars in the United States. To operate these cars there was available a gasoline production of 750 million gal lons, or, approximately, 1875 gallons per car. In 1919 there were more than 7 million cars and trucks operating in the United , States. To supply these engines there was available, according to Bureau of Mines Report, 3 billion, 957 million gallons of gasoline, or, approximately, 565 gallons per car. In neither case has consideration been given to the demand of tractors, stationary gas engines, or the gasoline required by the arts and indus tries Nor have we considered the large volarno of this product shipped abroad annually. The above figures are presented so that you may, visualize one of the problemsthe petroleum industry has been called upon to solve in the past decade. In 1910 the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) marketed about 20 percent of the gasoline out put of the United States, or approximately 150 million gallons. In 1919 this Company sold about 640 million gallons of gasoline, or about 17 percent of the total for that.year. It has been the. task of the 7 men who manage the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indi ana) tor .the 5124 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much as 10 percent of the total, to ex pand the organization not only to keep pace with, but to keep ahead of the extraordinary and persistent demand for gasoline. . How well they have succeeded to illustrated clearly by the fact that in the 10-year period above mentioned, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken a leading part in increasing .gasoline production 440 percent, while crude oil production increased only 94 percent.
