Iconium, or Konia, as it is better
Known today, in Asia Minor, 300 miles
east of Smyrna. held by some archaeol.
ogists to be the Oldest city in the world,
derived its name from the elkones, or
images of mud, which, according to the
ancient legend of the place, were made
by Prometheus and Athena at the COM
mand of Jupiter, who after the great
food caused the winds to blow upon
the elkones and they became living
men and women. Thus, according to
this tradition, Iconium was the first
place settled after the iood.-Argonaut.

 Divorce statistics prove that one of the most com mon causes of divorce is hasty marriages sud the obiec. of the bill is to prevent this kind Of mar risge.

 The convcea.ics s.so soo-id-red several other biIls TOW teiore the Ieg- is'atrre. The new divorce bill was discussed but no acton was taken although some favored the provisions of the measure. The Episcopal church recognizes only one ground of divorce. sdultry, while the law recog- nizes eight.

 Before Committee

The county seat removal bill is now before the county affairs commit tee fn the house. It is understood that the house committee will recon mead that the Roberts amendme D ts be struck of. that the percentage to initiate an election be placed ct thir- ty that more than six.y per cent of the votes must be in sffirUstive be fore county seat can be removed and tbs, county must erect suitable court house and jail before county seat will be moved.
 The bill still carries much unjust ness to prevailing county seats which is expected to be remedied before the bill inslIy passes An effort to have property qualifications on petitions for removal. and more fair method of ballotipg on the question is urged ip which the cnrid::y Q. 1;=.: cities ss sspirsnts may not be pitted sgsinst . conn'y seat
 The dsogers of proposed county seat removal Iegislstion as applied to each county. is making itself felt among the Arisooa solons and the Legislators are wisely making haste slowly.
