English Film Producers Preparing
 To Capture the American Audience.

American doesn't tolerate in any country but his own"
 Tears Are Wanted
 Tears-floods of tears-distasteful as they may be to refined English feelings. But the tears must be off, set by moments of laughter or of those tender morsels of artifice- such as kittens in a basket. puppies biting at a ball of worsted, and sows with filters of young pigs-scenes that are known in America as "hu- man touches"
 The American public-so the Eng fish producer is informed-does not want narrowing stories about the sufferings of impoverished aristoc- racy--its only reaction is to such themes as '.why don't they get job ?" Nor does it care to hear about mar riages frustrated by differences in social degrees-for it can't compre- bend why cat should not rank with a king,
 Above all the producer who would beguile the American audience must steer clear of the illegitimate child there are no illegitimate children in the pure American movie drama. And even in some states, there is a preju- dice against impending maternity. however legitimate it may be-

 America Being Fidded
 The reader has guessed by now that America is being kidded. We are being taxed with gentle indirectness for our censorship laws. It is inti- mated also that the censors have no preconceived ideas, but develop their rules as they go along.
 The consequence is that the rules are constantly being added to. One advantage of this method is that be- fore long everything will be prohib- tied except the story of the poor young shop girl under . tyrannical floor walker. One day she is polite to a poorly dressed but handsome young man, little realizing that he is the proprietor's son who has dis guised himself as laoorer just for a dark" Stunned by her politeness he asks her to marry him, whereupon the floor walker discharges her for flirting. At that moment the pro- prietor, a jolly old soul, happens along, joins their hands together dis charges the floorwalker and beckons a passing clergyman who performs the ceremony on the spot, having for tunately brought his prayer book (and presumably a marriage license made out to "bearer') along with him. No censor has yet barred this theme, though care must be used in working up the incidental details. Of course, the girl must compromise herself by going to the young mans home at night to deliver package that he has forgotten--but so long as the hour is not later than 9:30 the censor-thus far-will not object After all, there are enough varia- tions on this theme to keep it going both at home and abroad for another 20 years at least--and who cares what happens after that.

BLINDED BY LIGHTS,
MOTORIST HITS PONY
AND BREAKS ITS LEG

Saddle ponies should carry lights
This is the conclusion of Fred Will
son, a former resident Of Morgal, but
now living at Fonda, Ia.
Mr.. Wilson was driving from Morgan
to Fonda when he was blinded by the
lights of an automobile standing on the
side of the road ahead of him. He was
near Sanborn and the road was graded
up about two feet.
Mr.. Wilson was proceeding carefully
along, according to the Morgan Mes
senger, when a COW jumped out ahead
of him and the next instant he crashed
into pony ridden by / q boy. One Of
the animals legs was bfoken and the
ran off of the embankment
into the ditch.
Mr.. Wilson found that the boy was
driving herd Of cattle in the same
direction he was going. While under
the opinion that the accident was due
to the binding lights of the car ahead,
Mr.. Wilson settled with the boy for
the pony which had to be shot. Mr..
Wilson and the boy were not injured.
The car was but slightly damaged.
As result Of his experience, Mr..
Wilson is of the opi 1ion that the state
lew requiring vehicles to carry lights
should include ponies as well.

CHANGE PROPOSED
FOR MANKAT0 TO
ST. PETER ROAD
Suggested That Highway
Continue Along West
Bank of River.
RESIDENTS ARE SAID
TO FAVOR PROPOSAL
Project Would Divert Twin
City Traffic From
Faribault.

Preliminary steps to bring about a
change of route in Trunk Highway
No. between st. Peter and Mankato
so that it will run along the west side
Of the river were taken at a meeting of
St. Peter and North Mankato resi-
dents which was held in the St. Peter
Armor the St. Peter Free Press re-
ports.
The proposed route is the bluff
road along the west side of the Min
nesota river, extending from St. Peter
directly into North Mankato, and
passing the State Hospital. Several
reasons for the change have been ad-
vanced, among the most important
of which is that it will eliminate the
several dangerous railroad crossings
between here and Mankato.
Henry Robel, Sr., president of the
North Mankato Commercial club,
opened the discussion with short
talk explaining the purpose of their
visit, that of extending the hand of
good fellowship to st. Peter citizens
and requesting them to state their
wishes in the matter. He outlined
the project. Talks by Mayor D. D.
Tenney, North Mankato, and w. G.
Fenger, secretary of the commercial
club, followed. Both set forth the
benefits that will be derived by St.
Peter and Nicollet county, including
North Mankato from the change if it
can be realized. The road along the
west side of the river is one that has
long been noted for it's magnificent
scenery, they declared, and an added
advantage will be that no traveller
will be forced to place his life in
jeopardy by crossing numerous rail
road tracks in going from Mankato to
the twin cities.
County Attorney George T. Olsen
and Senator Henry N. Benson acted
as speakers for the St. Peter associa-
ltion, the former outlining the history
of the road project, and stating that

the traffic between Mankato and the

and Owatonna, and if the new project
were put through it would bring over
ninety per cent of this traffic in this
direction, the speakers argued.
