the board assurance that this would
be done, although there are eighty
applications from as many different
counties for short courses and most
of them must be denied as the state
appropriation is limited. During the
coming year there will not be more
than fifteen or sixteen experimental
stations conducted In as many differ
ent counties in Iowa, and MahasKa
county is exceedingly fortunate to
come within the lucky number. After
Prof. Snyder had given a brief ex-

Constantinople, May 2S.-Former Sui
tan Abdul hamid will be removed
from Salonica where ne has been a
prisoner since his recent deposition,
to Rhodes Isle, the largest island OF
the archipelago west of Asia Minor,
just as soon as preparations can be
completed. Owing to the continued
suspicious of reactionary plotting, Gen
Cheftek Pasha is taking extreme
measures to keep Abdul in complete
seclusion, and he has concluded that
he can do this better at Rhodes than
at Salonica Abdul mas even been de-
MED access to newspapers and no one
is permitted in his company save the
members of his own household Abdul
is fretting under the restrictions plac-
ed upon him and is protesting vigor-
ously against his transfer to Rhodes
Seven additional death sentences
against reactionaries have been is
sued. Among the victims are the for
mer sultan's favorite, Eunich Djevher
Director Tewfik Bey of the taxation
department and Col Hall Bey. All of
these the Young Turks say, have been
found guilty of leading parts in the
recent uprising. They probably would
have escaped with a less severe pun
ishment had it not been for the dis
covery of the alleged reactionary plots
within the last few days. Their ex-
ecution. the authorities hope, will
check future plots.
