Y. M. C. A. PREPARES FOR TROOPS
EDUCATION GOES OX
Registration for the 1917-1S school
year at the University of Missouri has J
ended with the result that the enroll
ment shows a decrease of only SCO,
or less than 25 per cent. In view of
the unusual call for war service at
this most trying time in the history
of the United States, Missouri can
congratulate herself that her institu
tion of learning has prospered so in
number of students.
Answering the call to war service
in any capacity is a noble act, and
the University of Missouri has been
exceptionally represented in this way.
But, for those not eligible on account
of age or otherwise, to continue their
work of obtaining an education is the
wisest and most patriotic step. The
unusual demands of war call for men
of education to conduct its affairs.
But, first of all, there will be an ex
traordinary need for men of excep
tional ability to act as leaders when
the war is over.
President A. Ross Hill, in his first
address to the students this year,
urged them to put forth their best
efforts in making this the banner
year for Missouri in scholastic attain-'
ments. His statement that anyone '
who does not do so is proving himself
a slacker, as much as the man who
shirks his military duty when called,
is true in every way. Let us hold up
the standard of Missouri education
during the war so that we may play
our part in the great war and in the
days after it is ended.
WELCOJIE, T. R.
With the addition of Theodore
Roosevelt to the list of contributing
editors to the Kansas City Star Mis
souri augments the glory of its his
tory. Mr. Roosevelt's opinions are
weighty because they are backed by
years of crucial tests and experience.
His literary style is clear-cut, per
suasive and forceful. There is no
hedging about his ideas nor lack of
frankness in their expression.
Quoting the Colonel recently in the
Remarkable Remarks column of the
Independent magazine appeared the
statement: "I am a peaceful literary
man." Though the quotation may
seem ironical, there is a semblance of
truth in it, for virtually all his pro
ductions have for their ultimate pur
pose the obtaining of a universal and
lasting peace. It is his method of
reaching this desirable end and not
the end itself to which many persons
object
At all events, Mr. Roosevelt's writ
ings possess a virility and freshness
which stimulates constructive thought '
and the newspaper makers of the state '
are glad to have the opportunity of
expressing themselves in the words:
"Welcome, T. R."
MOVABLE TRENCHES INVENTED ,
SeTcn of Nine Buildings at Fort Sill
Nearing- Completion.
By Associated Tress
CAMP .DONIPHAN, Fort Sill, Okla..
Sept. 24. With seven of the nine Y.
M. C. A. buildings nearing completion,
the weary National Guardsmen sent
here for training will not want for
the comforts of a reading room,
clean amusement and, if he desires,
educational advantages, at the end of
the day's work. Some of the build
ings have come into their full useful
ness by the soldiers already here.
Reading rooms, in which books,
late magazines, newspapers and other
periodicals are at the disposal of the
guardsmen, are receiving increasing
patronage from the soldiery. Chess,
checkers and other games afford quick
relaxation and diversion from the
"grind" of a rookie's day. Pianos and
talking machines also are available
for their amusement.
Writing paper, pens, ink and desks,
however, come in for their share of
favor, too. On one day less than two
weeks ago, more than 1,000 letters
were written in Y. M. C. A. recreation
rooms.
When the full quota of Kansas and
Missouri guard becomes established
here, Y. M. C. A. officials estimate the
consumption of letter paper at 20,000
sheets a week. One-half barrel of ink
will be necessary during the like
length of time. Five tons of ice will
be required during seven days to
quench the soldiers' thirbt. Six mo
tion picture shows will be put into
operation this week, each giving three
performances a week. Only the best
first-run films will be used. It is es
timated that within sixty days 250
such motion picture shows will be es
tablished by the Y. M. C. A. in the
southern district.
The monthly expenses of the organ
ization here will aggregate $5,000.
Purchasing for the entire district Is
in charge of a single department.

Farmers Arc Advised to Feed Willow
Twigs to Cattle Instead of Hay.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. 30.
Gloomy pictures are being drawn
here of the apricultural outlook in
Holland as the result of the stoppage
of fodder exports from America. The
acutcness of the position has been
enhanced by a poor hay crop, and the
small farmer in particular is faced
with the greatest difficulties.
According to the well-informed ag
ricultural correspondent of the Niews
Van Der Dag, cattle breeders are in
great distress and cattle are growing
lean In the meadows. Pig-fattening
has come to a standstill. "If the
supplies of fodder and fertilizers are
stopped," he writes, "cattle-breeding
and agriculture will go to rack and
ruin.
"If the world market be closed to
us and this is what happens if wc
cannot export to Germany agricul
ture and market gardening will rc
ceie their death blow, and not only
farmers, but the whole nation, will
suffer. The financial status of' the
country population will decline. Many
of the small farmers have already
reached the limit of their financial ca
pacity, and are on the verge of abso
lute impoverishment. Matters have
come to such a pass that the cattle
have to be sold at half their original
price. There goes the farmer's work
ing capital, together with the profits.
The whole nation is face to face with
a bad winter."
The downcast Dutch farmer Is
meanwhile advised by one fellow agri
culturist to feed his cattle on willow
twigs, asserting that the willows are
readily eaten by the cattle, and that
the animals thrive on them. "It
save a gr,eat deal of hay," he asserts,
"and if the cattle do not become fat
on the contrary, they become a little
'stringy' they are perfectly healthy
and strong. That shows, too, in the
calves they bear. Small, wiry, strong
calves are borne by cows that have
eaten a lot of wood."
An official report just issued shows
that nearly 42,000 acres less land is
under crops this year than in 191G,
doubtless partly owing to the short
ace of fertilizers. There is an in-
i crease of the area under grain, but
this is like a drop in the bucket com
pared with the oversea imports.
Don't ask dry goods, men clothiers
and the merchants to send goods on
approval. Make your selections at
the store and carry them with you.

marines Use Them in Practicing Hand
Grenade Throwing.
QUANTICO, Va., Sept. 24.
Trenches that may be picked up
bodily and moved around from place
to place have been invented by United I
States Marines stationed here, who I
use this novel apparatus for practice
in hand grenade throwing.
Sections, about 10 feet long, with a
parapet that stands three feet above
the head of the grenadier, form a skel
eton framework of pine, shaped sim
ilarly to the regular trenches. From
inside these portable trenches, or
"stalls." as the marines call them,
the sea-soldiers hurl the grenades
over the top and into other stalls,
placed about 50 feet away, to repre
sent the enemy trenches.
The practice grenades are non-explosive,
but are of the same weight
and size as those used by the Allies.
Long, rangy fellows prove to be the
best throwers, as their greater reach
helps them to develop the sweeping
overhead throw that experienced
grenadiers use.

WHILE YOU WORK FOR OTHERS BANK YOUR
MONEY AND SOME DAY OTHERS WILL
WORK FOR YOU
Every owner of every store or factory, almost without
exception, was an employe in it once. If you ever intend
to be at the head of a large concern you must have the
money to back it.
Moreover, if you have the reputation of being "A man with
money in the bank" going over the top will be easier for you.
Worthwhile concerns will give you responsible positions. They
have proof that pju are persistent and reliable. No recommend
ation it half so good.
To bank your money makes your future security threefold. It
pays you an annual interest; you have prepared for the oppor
tunity, and the larger salaries adds to your pile the faster.
Common sense should tell you that money will come in hand
some day. The only question is:
WILL YOU HAVE IT WHEN YOU NEED IT?
