Good prices for the farmers’ crops en­

and greater prosperity.

’
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads—the modern
beasts of burden that haul the Crops to
the world’s markets.
The railroads—like the farms—increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
W ith fair prices "for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure tailroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow..
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
Thoee ¿ fir in g information concerning the railroad eitu-
ation may obtain literature by writing to The Aeeocia-
tion of Railway Executive*. 61 Broadway, N no York.

Mauritius.
Mauritius, the home of the dodo, Is
In tho political limelight, or so It
would appear from the announcement
that the Bordeaux chamber of com­
merce lias requested the French gov­
ernment to enter Into parleylngs with
Brltnln with a view to restoring for­
mer French supremacy. Since the
dodo Is extinct, It will be more accu­
rate to speak of Mauritius as once
the home of that now almost fabulous
creature. Mauritius was once known
as Cerne. a name which It Is said to
hnve derived from clenas—the dodo,
or, more unromantlcally, the ground-
pigeon. Portuguese, French, Dutch,
and British hnve all been connected
with the history of Mauritius. It was
discovered by the Portuguese. It was
French for 100 years and then British.
It became British In 1814 but during
the French Revolution It hod served
ns a refuge for many emigres to whom
the Emerald Isle of the Indian ocean
iras known as the scene of Bernadln
de St. Pierre’s “Paul et Vlrglnle.” In

of the area of England and Wales.
Was Variety the Spice of Her Llfef
It Is commonly thought that a very
long series of names Is reserved for
kings and the sons and daughters of
kings. We have frequently exclaimed
over the seven names with which King
George’s eldest son Is afflicted, or the
former crown prince, for that matter.
But probably the longest name In the
world Is attached to a mere laundry-
man’s daughter. She was born In 1883,
and her parents, sorely from a sense
of the ludicrous, gave her a name for .
every letter In the alphabet, to-wlt:
Anna Bertha Cecelia Diana Emily
Fanny Gertrude Hypatia Inea Jana
Katherine Louisa Maud Nora Opholla
