INFLUENCE OF MIRACLE PLAYS.

The old miracle and morality plays
li>h drama that form of literature
which has had such Il great effect on
all peoples.
The morality play was the Predeccs-
sor OF the Elizabrthan drama. At first
sight the relation of the miracle and
morality play to the drama may seem
obscure, but it i very vital. Shakes
pearc and her Elizabcthan dramati>ts
often made alu>ionS To this older dra-
ma. The Vice. who. dressed AZ Il court
fool. supplied the comic element in the
morality plays. survives in higher
form in Shakc-pearc's clowns and Jest
cr>. The drunken porter in Macbeth
l. believed To he a remini-ccnce of the
porter of the gate of Hell in certain
miracle play. The miracle and morality
plays were sustained and elevated by
their lofty themes in spite Of their
many deficiencic-. They dealt with
subjects 50 close to all that later dra
mati>t> could not help using them
again. although in different forms.
Macbeth has been called @lorificd mir
aclc play. a. it deals with mans temp
tati"n~. his fall and spiritual exile
The influence uf this form of drama
was. in fact. far reaching. 1t made the
drama national amusement and kept
alive the love Of playgoin" among the
English people. Although it was
changed To Il great extent by the new
ideas and fresh inspirations brought in
by the Renaissance. it was. ncvcrthe-
less. Il basis for he drama Of the later

How Busy Should a Freshman Be?

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
y great university is Il miniature
world and every student should adjust
himself to get the most out of il. He
comes in contact with men and women
as he will in life after college. and he
should prepare himself for the more in
tense struggle. \ freshman should be
careful To take little class room work.
His surroundings are new and he must
get his bearings before he can do his
best work. Just enough work To give
him full credit is sufficient 10 keep
him fairly busy.
The time at his disposal should be-
spent in studyin" the students He
shnuld come in close contact with his
fellows in class room. laboratory. gym
na>ium. athletic ground. and the cam
puS. Things learned here will be of
more value than Virgil and co-ordi-
mates.
To mix with people i, the great les
son bl lie. 10 DE able To make one >
self cOmpaniOnablc to the forward and
the diflident: the swell" and the
grind the athlete and the hospital
patient. will stand the student in hand
throughout life. This sort of experience
aids in social pleasure. in business SUE
cess. in money making and in his sphere
of influence for good
Some students are by nature easy to
get acquainted with. Others should
strive only the harder to acquire the
habit of making themselves known.
Care in concraling the purpose in ad-
din" ease to the strivin" enhances the
value of the habit. The So-call,d stu
dent activities offer field for the cul
livation of friendships. Here students
are brought closer together and come
to understand dispositions better than
under other circumstances.
The second year at college need not
differ materially from the first. What
ever school work is undertaken should
Dr lone well. Go not to an extreme
in anything unless it be to get acIllain-
ted with the students and make them
yorr friends. CHARLES ARNOLD.

The long expected has happened in
Turkey. The city OF Constantinople is
at the mercy of the Young Turk force,
and no organized resistance will be
made to the re-establishment of the
regime of the Committee of Union and
Progress. 1t is thought that the second
revolution within the week will be
bloodlcss. The leaders of the advancing
army will not remain satisfied with
the restoration of the government
which was overthrown on April l3. The
Sultan denies that he was responsible
for last weeks trouble as the first step
toward the restoration of the old au-
tocracy but those that know him say
this Is not true.

STATE PICKS ITS LAND.
Hanson Finds a Thousand Fine Farms
on Newly Opened Reservation.

n. Nj. Hanson Of the state land de-
partment, has returned from trip
over the Cheyenne river and Standing
Rock reservations, on which he select
ed about $4,000 acres of indemnity land
for the state, in lieu of sections l6 and
36, on which Indians have made
allotment selections.
He says there will be good claims for
the holders of first numbers in the
drawing, and that while the govern
ment classification OF first-class land
shows only about thousand such
tracts, that much of the second class
land will be taken as readily as the
first class, on account of the difference
in the price.
In his estimation on the land along
the two extensions of the Milwaukee
line, to Thunder Butte on the north of
the Moreau and along Fox Ridge, south
OF that stream, is the best part of the
tract to be opened The state selections
are ahead of those of individuals, but
under the law opening the country to
settlement, only two sections may be
selected In any one township. The
land cannot be selected in large tracts,
as has been done at times before.

Two more touchdowns we're secured by

Jensen playing new position in the

Chadron and Hot Springs met at this

BUYERS WILL GRADE LCREAM
Dairymen Who Produce Highest Grades Will Obtain Better Prices Than Those of Indifferent
 Methods.

County Sanitary Inspector E. H. sherman, in his report to the County Health Officer for February, filed with the Board of Supervisors this week, says the of the recent betterment in dairy conditions:
 The matter of cream grading and paying the producers according to the quality of the cream by the cream buy CTS of the valley was taken up with each buyer, and an agreement was reached as embodied in the circular letter submitted herewith.
 T consider this an important step in the raising the quality of the dairy products of the county, as the buyers heretofore had not made any distinct ion between good and bad cream de- livered to them, thus encouraging rather than preventing msanitary conditions.

El Centro, Cal, March 2, 1909 Editor Press,
 Dear Sir: l beg little space in your paper to call the attention of your readers directly to the question of Cotton Seed" We are about to make the experiment of growing cot ton on a commercial scale in our val ley. Every person is interested in the success of the enterprise One great danger to the .eX- pertinent lies in the possible intro duction of Boil Weeyil with the seed. With this danger in mind, every per son should consider well the source from which they obtain their seed. Care should be taken in making mis- cellaneous orders for seed for two reasons; first, to keep out the Boil WeeYil; and second, to obtain the kind of seed you want Seed houses are advertising seed for experiment. and l wish to call your attention to the fact that there Is absolutely no call for person to buy cotton seed from any seed house on the Coast If you want to plant on commercial scale, 1t will be here in any quantity you may wish shipped in by our own people. If you want any particular kind for an experimental plot, you can obtain 1t from the Government.
