So popular has the phrase become ftiat It is now used as a state slogan, a title for the newest humor publication at the Missouri university, and is carried in the ban ner of the state National Guard. Col. Willard D. Vandiver, a Virgin Ian by birth, but a Missouri;m at heart, is accredited for this bit of often used Original humor. Thirty-one years ago Colonel Vandiver was a member of a naval committee inspecting the naval yard at Philadelphia. After the Inspection, the naval committer was Invited to stay for a banquet given that evening by the Five o'Clock club of the city. Had No Dress Suit, had ao idea of attending a banquet," said Colonel Vandiver, "so I forgot to bring along my dress suit, and so did Governor Hull of - Iowa, who was a member of the military committee. We were the only ones who did not have dress suits, so we planned to go to the banquet without them. "But when I arrived later I found Hull had rented one, and that I was the only one who was not prepared for the occasion. During the toasts, Governor Hull was called upon and he eulogized Philadelphia, even declaring that the tailors there had made him a dress suit on only 15 minutes notice. "I was called on next, and didn't know whether to crawl on top of the table or under it. I Anally decided to make my speech the meanest one possible." • . . ft Didn't Fit Him. CtftoneT Vandiver abused the city ronndly and then turned on Hull to repay him for the embarrassment lie had caused him, ending his speech with these words: "His talk about your hospitality is all bunk; he wants another feed. He tells you that the tailors, finding that he was without a dress suit, made him one on 15 minutes notice. You heard him say that he came here without one, and you see him now with one that doesn't fit him. That is the reason you see him with one and me without one. I came from a state that raises corn, cockleburs, and Democrats; I am from Missouri. You've got to show me!" Colonel Vandiver did not know at that time he had nicknamed a state and had spoken what ^as to be a world famous slogan.

Smith, Prop. System of Rotation Advocated by One Specialist. The difficulty of raising young stock free from intestinal parasites year after year on the same range has become so great that many poultrymen are finding it necessary to abandon the old ranges and provide new, clean ones, reports J. C. Taylor, associate poultry specialist at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, Rutgers university. Mr. Taylor defines a clean range as an area of ground on which no chickens were raised last year and on which no poultry manure has been scattered for the last two years. Where such a range is not available, he advises a system of rotation so that clean ranges will be available in the future. In the rotating system one range is used for the chicks one year while the others are cultivated and cropped. A two-year rotation is good but a threeyear rotation is much better. In this, three areas are available, thus making it possible to keep the chicks away from each range for a period of two years. Corn, clover, and chicks make a desirable rotating arrangement. fiy providing a clean range the mortality from coccidiosis and intestinal worms is greatly reduced, extensive experiments have shown. Grades for Chickens on Chicago Poultry Board Poultrymen who sell live birds on the Chicago market will be interested In the grades as provided on that market by the Chicago poultry board. Live poultry is graded as prime or No. 1; medium or No. 2; and canners or No. 3, each grade being defined as follows: No. 1 poultry, or prime, shall consist of vigorous, fleshy, healthy birds, free from tumors, downers, T.B., gaps, swollen heads or eyes, braised legs or wings, hunchbacks, heavy Indented Or crooked breast bone. No. 2 poultry or medium, Shall be vigorous, healthy and free from tumors, downers, T.B., gaps, swollen beads and eyes and culls, but may consist of indented and crooked breast bone, hunchbacks, braised wings and legs, also scrubby hens and all bens under 2% pounds. No. 3 poultry shall be such as will not qualify as No. 1 or No. 2, excepting diseased birds not ifit for human food. ' :en . - r « * i . , h i . M Feeding Young After the First Month Most people feed their chicks well for the first month when the little chicks need careful attention in the brooder or with hens, btt( after they get older and do not need to be watched closely, many lose interest In or at least allow the chicks to rustle for themselves. This common mistake is hard to overcome for* It is natural for one to become more careless with the chicks after they have a good start in life. Chicks are not so apt to die as before, but they are still apt to become runts and therefore unprofitabfe. Chicks should have access to a well balanced ration throughout their life. Pullets that are matured are the ones that lay during the fall and winter when eggs are high in price, ft takes proper rations, plus early .batched chicks, to raise this type of pullets. nBy GENEVRK COOK •mm Poultry Hints Kill all weak and undersized chicks at the start ! ^ • • '• When goose eggs are to to kept a While tbey should not be washed. • • • Depth and width of body are characteristic of good breeding stock. - • * • Oyster shell, sunshine and green feed "are all necessary for high hatchablllty. • » » Give baby goslings water from the start but do not let them get their bodies in it or trample in it. • • * Good breeding stock is the foundation of success.

C*ROM the moment he saw Shirley " Cookson, Donald BiBin loved her. She was standing out on the rocks that jutted into the lake, a slim, deli cate figure, one hand gathering around her slender body a brief blue beach coat, the other raised high to wave at him. "Oh, please! Are you going over to the cove? Will you tell the crowd I cant come over swimming today? Jajr staved a hole in the canoe!"' With a practiced sweep of his bronzed arm, Don swung his canoe around and pulled Into shore. He smiled up at her. "This Is a ferryboat," he said, "and it's all ready for the fairy!" Shirley shook tbe soft spun-gold curls back from her forehead and held out her hand to him. "It's awfully sweet of you, Prince Charming!-- and please not to disappear!" Just like thai: it was--a little breath of romance from fairyland, with the sapphire gem of a lake In the Berkshire woods for its delicate, spar* kllng setting. When they reached the cove--hours later, it seemed, though once afterward they rowed over in four minutes-- he was calling her "Cookie" and she was calling him Don. He knew about her work lii New York, etching for magazines, mostly, and that she was staying In her cousin's <?0ttage, The Birches," for a six-weeks' vacation (one of which was already gone); and she knew that he was in business for himself in the town at the foot of the lake, real estate and insurance. Five days of fairyland, perfect, breathless, freighted with ecstasy. And then, Friday night 'at sunset, as they paddled lazily past the island, watching the cool, smooth ripples In the silver water, there was a shoqt from the shore, "Oh, Cookie!" Tall, dark, imperious, immaculate in the city man's conception of what to wear in the country, he stood there and called to her, and Donald Bunn, conscious suddenly of his khaki shirt open at the throat, his wind-rumpled hair, felt the fragile web of his dreams crumple ovef the silver water and drift silently away. At Cookie's bidding he swung the canoe into shore, was dimly aware of introductions being performed quite in the New York manner, was intensely and agonizedly aware of the supercilious Jay Daggett in the bow. On Monday, when Jay had gone back to the city, It was wonderful to Don to be alone with Shirley again. But it could never be quite the same. Every week-end Jay came up from New York and talked art and writing and sketching and studio teas, and curled his Up at what be designated as "the rural Joys." Don couldn't help feeling, too, that Jay belonged to Cookie's world, and that Cookie belonged to the city. And he swore to himself that before she went back--Jay was bringing a car to carry her down with him this Sunday-- he would not tell her what was in bis heart. When they came in from their last morning swim together Don paddled slowly up tbe lake toward the Island. It was very still. Suddenly Cookie cried, "Oh, look, Don! There's a box on the rocks--pirate treasure-- Let'* get It." Don fished it out on the end of his paddle. It was an oblong weoden box such as are shipped to grocery stores, and across it in flaming red letter*, only a little subdued by the water* was painted: "Vacation Cookies." "That's what you arer" he told her softly. "My vacation Cookie. Tonight It'll be all over. Vacation and Cookie and all." He did not see the quick tears come Into tire violet eyes, nor feel tbe sadness of her deep-drawn sigh. At sunset he headed the canoe up the lake alone. He could not bear to watch them drive away together. Suddenly he heard the swish of a beaching canoe, the dragging of something wooden across the rocks. Noiselessly he stepped out of the canoe, and walked quietly along the shore. It was Cookie--alone! She was lying in her canoe, her slim arms flung up over the box of Vacation Cookies, and she was crying as though her vej-y heart would break. He spoke to her gently, not to frighten her. He said, "Cookie!'* Then suddenly his arms were round her, he was holding her close, close. "Oh, Cookie, I love you so!" "You didn't--you said--I--I--was only you--your--" "My Vacation Cookie! . . . I thought you were going to go back and leave me .* . "I didn't go. Jay went alone. I--I--m x "Will yon be my Vacation Cookie, Shirley?" After a long time, she said softly, "Only i won't be a Cookie any longer, will ir "Never mind, Oookie," be marmured tenderly, his lips dose to Mm' "You'll be a Bunn." tOopyrlrtit.) Yen**!

Study, Expert Claims Denver.--America Is more than 20 years ahead of Europe in its application of child psychology, according to Justin Brlerly of Columbia university, expert on child psycholojgy. Brlerly visited his home here recently after making a study of conditions In orphanages, day nurseries, and Institutions for dependent children in foreign countries. Brierly's report, which will be submitted to Columbia university, the League of Nations, and the child labor bureau of America, included studies made in various institutions In England, Germany, France, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. / While mental or psychology tests are applied to the subnormal child in many Institutions in Europe, Brlerly said that no mental or emotional tests were given to normal children. "Such tests are common In our public schools," he said. "We have long considered the emotional and the mental test absolutely necessary for the welfare of the normal child. In Europe the opinion is just the opposite." He said he found only two psychological clinics in London and that they were on a trial basis, compared with hundreds in America. Lack of finances was bis explanation of this slow progress. Virtually all the countries of Europe have established Juvenile courts, patterned after the one Judge Ben Llndsey first'estltbllshed in Denver, Brlerly said.
