by an educator who has made spec
ial studies In this field. In the even
ings professors from the university
give a scientific demonstration of the
gyroscope and liquid air. Saturday
Is Town and Country Day, with "Soc-
ial Life In Town and Country as
the leading topic. In the evening
the University Dramatic Club ap-
pears In Shakespeare's Merchant OF
Venice!
Genuine interest is aroused in the
towns visited. In most instances the
people take the visit of the %univer-
-sity as the business of the week, and
devote all their attention to 1t. Not
only the townspeople, but farmers
from outlying districts as we'll, at
tend the sessions. Boys farming
camps are organized in connection
with the University Week, and al
ways prove a popular feature. The
university authorities and those who
cooperate with them-State health
boards and other agencies-are par
ticularly careful to provide speakers
who not only know their subject
we'll, but are able to talk interest
ingly to a non-university audience.
The expense Of obtaining such men
would be prohibitive but for an in
genious arrangement of circuits,
whereby the travelling University
Week is able to play six commun1-
ties In the same neighborhood by in
t~erchanging days.
1t Is estimated that there are sew
eral ways in which this novel plan
of extending the influence of a State
university will have a direct effect.
In the first place, 1t will make the
work Of the university we'll and fav-
orably known where it has before
been known only vaguely or even
mistakenly; 1t will break down the

POST OFFICE LOCKS
BEST IN THE WORLD

The locks used by the p~ostofice
department are among the most Sc
cure in the world, although there are
thousands upon thousands of keys
which will open each one Of them.
There Is one of the plain locks for
every thousand people in the United
States. Then, too the postotfice has
a lack with a registering device
which tells Just how many times 1t
has been opened, exactly on the
same principle that a bicycle cyclom-
eter registers the revolutions of the
wheel.
In the chapter on the P~ostof1ce
Department, In his book 1.-THE Amer
lean Government" Frederic J. Has
kin tells about this and a hundred
other things that will be surprises
to you.
Have you ever seen a five dollar
stamp? Next time you go to the
p~ostofice ask the stamp clerk to
show you one. And then get a copy
of 1.-THE American Government" and
see how many things about stamps
there is in 1t that you never knew
before.

THE FUN MAKER TRIUMPHs.

This has been week of fun for the
people of Colorado who are here as
the guests of Denver, who invited
them to come hither with mot with
out" money to enjoy themselves. The
invitation was accepted, and not only
did they come, but they brought with
them floats containing their boasted
products. Pueblo, the Pittsburg of the
West, sent magnificent float, which
spoke well for our industrial city
south of us. The crowds on the streets
were the largest ever seen in Denver
and demonstrates the fact that when
ever united efforts are put forth great
things can be accomplished. All honor

The Water.

The situation throughout this
parish has grown worse since our
last issue. The river at this
point has risen some 8 or 9 inches
and the back water a great deal
more. The river and back waters
are now leveling up, and are ris-
ing here about one inch in "a
hours.
Nearly every foot of land on
the east side of the river is COW
cred with water, and at the
present rate it is rising, by an
other week it will all be under.
We learn that there is considera.
BILE more land not covered in the
upper section Of the parish than
in this section, but at the same
time the back water is rising
more rapidly than here, and it
will probably go under.

The dangerous classes politi-

is conscious of paying that gives
aman a stake in the country, an

the consciousness of feeling that
he is an integral part of the
community, that its prosperity is
his prosperity, and it's disgrace
his shame. Let but the citizen
feel this; let HIM be surrounded
by all the influences that spring
from and cluster around a com.
Portable home, and the commune
ty may rely upon him, even to
