If that girl is permitted to keep on deceiving herself that she can write she will soon have helself down for died in-the- woold genius. AS a true friend, it is my painful duty to stop this non sense."
 And if she did this painful duty the chances are that she suffered the pain ful loss of a friend.
 To most of us who dream, those dreams are a very precious part of life. Is it not to be expected. then. that We should love those who help us to sus- tain them, and resent, as We would any other depradation, an attempt to tear them apart?
 After all. is it the duty of a true friend 10 stop the nonsense"-to end those dreams? I wonder
 It has been said that anticipation holds more pleasure for us than reali- zation. And whether our dreams come true or not, we are certainly happier for having had them. Is it then a true friend who would take them from us?
 Real dreams thrive on disappoint- ment, on defeat. And the older we get the closer we hug them to us, the more tenaciously, the more passionately we cling to them. and the more does the

 HE LAND IS FREE

LIBAU. Latvia, Dec. 2e. - Peasants are much mystified by the Latvian governments land policy and are un- willing to believe they can acquire land which formerly belonged to the Baltic barons without getting a title from the old owners.
 Where owners of land, whether they were big estate holders. or had only a small acreage. participated in any of the various movements designed to thwart the present government, the government has confiscated the estates and promises to divide them eventually among the landless peasants.
 But the poor peasants have had much trouble in cultivating land allotted to them because of the lack of animals, machinery and seed, and the govern ment has been unable 70 give them material help.
 Where the peasants have been suc- .cessful and have acquired money they frequently approach the former own CTS of the land and want to arrange cash payment on the land to insure that the old owners will not eventually take it away from them. The state ment of old owners that they can not sell the land has no effect upon the peasants, who refuse to believe they can ever acquire title without paying the old landlords and getting a blue paper or deed.
 Many of the Latvian estates were so large and were cultivated in such a way that small holders have great dif- ficulty in cultivating the portion as- signed to them. This is especially true of estates where there were large drainage plants and where transpcr- tation was afforded by small railways so arranged as to serve tn eestate as a whole. Such estates provided their own fuel from wood lots on the prem ises and had exceptionally well ar ranged facilities for getting their pro- ducts to distant markets. In many cases the peasants have asked the old owner sto return as managers in the hope of restoring the old organization

LAURANT AND COMPANY

For more than seventeen years the
Great Laurant has been a Chautauqua
and Lyceum headiner. For more than
ten years he has appeared under Red
path management-a fact which
speaks for itself. During the years
which he has devoted to the Lyceum
platform, many offers from vaudeville
and theatrical managers have been
turned aside by Mr.. Laurant because
he believed in the Lyceum as a great
er field in which to present his work.
In fact, as charter member of the
international Lyceum Association, he
has had no small part in the develop
ment of this organization and the
Lyceum movement as a whole.
The high esteem in which he is held
by the members of his own profession
is evidenced in the fact that he was
given gold medal by the Society of
American Magcians. He has also ap-
Peared on several occasions before So
cities of scientific research.
1t has always been Mr.. Laurant's
aim to have the most artistic magic
entertainment before the public. He
has never been content to let we'll
enough alone or to rest upon his
laurels. Each season he has endeavor-
ed to make his entertainment better
than the last.

few interesting observations regard
ing the Conner amendment which was
rejected by the conferences OIL the
agricultural appropriation bill. He
said: 81 desire to say that I regret
very much that the conferences did not
agree on what is known as the Conner
amendment. There is no reason in
the world why there should be diff
ference of two cents pound between
the actual cotton and the future mar
ket.
"By reason of the fact that under
the law the seller has the right to
tender any of the ten grades it keeps
down the price so that the operation
is simply milestone around the neck
of cotton. While it may not be pos
sible to get this legislation now,
hope the day will soon come, and
believe it will come shortly, when the
people, even in the South, the members
of Congress- from the South, will bet
ter understand the theory Of this
amendment and some law will be en-
acted.
"It ought to be so the future mar
ket and the spot market shall lgo along
together and then the only difference
there ought to be from one month to
another would be the additional car
rying charges. We lose millions an
nually by unfair dealings"
