Censor Destroys Rhyme and Reason.
 A Constantinople correspondent says that the Turkish government has prohibited the performance of Rostand's play, "Cyrano de Bergerac, g declaring it to be of revolutionary character. The Turkish censor is very particular that no royalty is pre- sented on the stage, and in all pieces the king is replaced by a prince or a duke. The conIc effect of replacing monosyllable by longer word in Italian opera, which alone is per formed in Constantinople, may readi- Iy be imagined. Most certainly no imputation of encouraging high trea- son can be brought against the Turk ish censor.

College Graduates Increasing.

The graduating lists of the American colleges this year show an increase of 25 per cent It seems probable that all the institutions of learning will have more than their usual quota of stu dents next fall, says Success. As eel ebrated college presidents have shown in the columns of Success from time to time, the demand for college men in all branches of business, as we'll as in the professions, is gradually in- creasing- Our colleges graduate men and women with practical as well as artistic ideals. A notion prevails that girls who have been so fortunate as to complete course in college do not make good wives. This notion is devoid of common sense. The more brain a man or woman can put into his or her work the better that work will be. This rule holds as surely in the responsible work of housekeep- ing, in social relations and in domes- tic economy as in agriculture, the arts, mechanism, law, medicine or Theology

will be violated in the South. If you
can equal the white race in achieve
fnent, in literature, in art, in indus

generous-minded white man who will
stand in your way, but all of them in
the South Will insist that you shall
accomplished this high end without

The native horses of Japan are
said TO be small and of but little
value for any purpose. The Emper-
or has become greatly interested IN
foreign horses, and has recently
bought from a California ranch a
number Of the ANIMALS, also engag-
ing an American trainer. Doubtless
bis example will be followed by
many wealthy japanese. and the re-
suit may be a considerable demand
for fine horses from this country.

An Old Timer.

c. Fl. Mouton, ESQ.,, of Lafr

here after a long absence.

nearing the four-score of life's

In 1916, Gov. Isaac I. John
son appointed Mr.. Mouton TO
be district attorney for the dis
trict which comprised what is
now Caleasieu parish. In those
Old days 1t was a weary horse
back journey to reach the seat
of justice, which was situated
at Marion, on the Calcasieu
river--the clearing in the for
est now known as Old Town,
Court was held in a log hut
which was doorless and win
doWless. There the lawyers
examined Witnesses and argd-
ed cases during the day and
slept on the floor at night.
Judge john Ell. Oyerton was
the presiding judge tFhe
only resident Of the town was
Meron Debaillon, who found
a place for the judge to sleep.
Mr. Mouton says that the sit
ting on court at Old Town al
ways attracted a crowd, some
from as far as Sabine
river. They would build fires
cook eat and camp in the
woods; jolly and free, they
were a wild lot at times.
When night came on with the
liddling, singing, dancing, aud
perhaps a little drinking. there
was a hot time in Old Town.
Mr.. Mouton is enjoying his
visit here very much. Lake.

IOWA ROADS IN SPRING.
Mud Causes Great Inconvenience
and Loss to Farmers.

business in most of the country
towns in Iowa during this spring has
been at standstill on account of the
almost unprecedented bad condition OF
the roads. Not since the great flood in
the spring Of 1892 has there been as
much water in Iowa as there is this
spring 1t is serious and dangerous
undertaking for farmer to start to
town with an empty wagon, and to
haul n load is out of the question.
They either go on horseback or on foot
when it is absolutely necessary to go
to the postofiice or on some other err
rand to the nearest town.
The three snowstormS in the month
of March added very much to the mois-
ture that was already in the ground
and that failed to soak in because of
the frost. When this snow melted, it
washed ont many culverts and made
dangerous places in the roads. In
some parts of northern Iowa, where
the soil is thick and sticky, the mud
cloggcd upon the wheels so that they
could not turn, and whoever started
out to drive with any sort Of vehicle
usually carried n spade or an AK with
which to dig the mud off. Big heaps
of it may be seen alongside of the road
where people have stopped to unload
their wagons.
Nearly every line of business has
felt the effects Of these conditions
Farmers could bring nothing to town
to SELL and they did not come to buy
If they happened to be out of coal
they either burned cobs or cut down q
few trees or burned up some old posts
In many parts of the state all sorts OF
farm work has been suspended be-
cause the fields are covered with water
and are almost impossible, even by q
man on foot. The streams and ponds
are filled as they have rarely been
promising unusual plentifulness OF
game during the spring and fall.

Congrt ssman ID. }. Foster has secured
the services Of Special Agent Warren w
Sawyer to lay out several more rural free
delivery routes. He has already laid out
one in North Hero and another starting
from the postoffice at st. Adams. He
will LeXt lay out two routes starting
from the postoliice at Enosburg Falls,
and it is expected that before he leaves
the district he will lay out two more,
starting from the postoflice in MoIlis-
vile, and one each from the Offices at
Vergennes, Arlington, and Bennington.
The new mail service which Congress
man Foster secured between Burlington
and Hinesburgh, which will leave Bur-
lington at o'clock in the morning, will
probably result in free delivery route
from Hinesburgh. He has already, at
the request of the citizens, drawn up a
petition for such route, and it is now
being circulated. The new route will go
from the HlnesbuIgh postoflice along the
main road to StaTks bore, swinging
around and returning to the office by a
westerly route.
