T
I HE man who gets the most
lives to learn. An old man,
river, said to his arandson:
It has a different Interest for every one of us. That man yon
der thinks of It merely as a place to fish. The boys down
there think of It as a swimming pool. The man who owns
the sawmill considers It a part of his workshop. Those young
people In the launch think of It as a pleasure stream. The
farmer finds that It enriches his fields. The cows come down
to drink. The old settlers tell us of a battle that was fought
near ths bend. And ybu and I find It a many-sided object
lesson. For you are soon to go out Into the world, and you
will find life like this river. You will observe that every man
thinks of It from his own standpoint. 8ome are Idlers along
the banks waiting for chance to bring them what they want;
some row up stream and some float down; some find refresh
ment, some only pleasure; some see only the hard work; and
some are looking back at the past, thinking of the battles that
have been fought In years gone by. But you and I will find It
a great object lesson a school where all the activities of men
and women become lessons, and where progress In wisdom
and goodness Is the chief motive In all that we do."

Are You Doing Yourself Justice?
MR. FARHER: Are vou looking- ahead for your son,
or if you are a renter are you looking- ahead for yourself?
Are you goinjr to accept this chance for a homestead that
Uncle Sam has made possible for you? Are you dozing" over
this, while your more alert neighbor is acting? Don't you
realize that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by
the government in the Big Horn Basin and North Platte Val
ley will prove to be the richest land prizes that the govern
ment has bestowed on its citizens. You certainly ought to
know of the present land hunger in this country. Now you
have the government furnishing vou So and 160 acre tracts
of land irrigated by the intelligence and financial security of
Uncle Sam who has suddenly become the greatest irrigator
the world has ever known, who offers you abundant and per
petual water with the choicest land at $35 to $45 per acre in
ten annual payments without interest; land that will yield
more in one year per acre than the price of the farm.
Do you realuu what a "good thing" this is in this day and age? If you
do not, let me tell you something about it.

Theories and Facts Gearing on tiio Recent
Remarkable Phenomena In Italy The
Continuance "of Shocks In
That Country. ,
P
OOIt ltnlv! The troubles of that
elnss'lc land consist not nlonc In
the fact tlint the tremors of
Mother Enrtli have already
done grcnt damage In the southern
portion of the kingdom, but In the cir
cumstance also that the shocks con
tinue and seem to he nffectliiB if wider
extent or territory. What doeH nature
Intend to do with this fair land, so fa
mous In history and bo blessed In
many respects by Providence? With
nil Its natural attractions It would be
n dangerous place to dwell If the fate
of Messlnn or rompcll were constantly
Impending.
Inhabitants of Kome, Naples, Flor
ence and Milan are becoming alarmed
now because of the frequency of slight
Bhocks In their vicinity and the seem
ing Increase In their severity.
Geologists think that the relief which
the first shock gives to the Internal
Btresses that caused It may not be
complete and that further adjustments
of the rock strata may be necessary to
restore equilibrium. In the present
enso tho only serious harm done was
wrought at the outset. Since the shock
of Dec. 28 little life has been lost, and
such walls as have been affected were
tottering before.
The old theory that the Interior of
the earth is a fluid mass has few ex
ponents now. Though calculation Indi
cates that at a depth of twenty or thir
ty miles tho heat must be so Intense
that It would, If exerted at the surface,
melt the hardest known substances, a
counteracting influence Is certnlnly at
work. Laboratory experiments prove
that pressure raises the temperature
at which any material will soften. So
stupendous Is the pressure exerted on
the Interior of tho earth by twenty or
thirty miles of rock nbove It that In

QUAKE. the judgment of eminent astronomers
Profensor (Jeorge H. Durwln of Cam
bridge Is one the globe has the rigidi
ty mid far more than the hardness of
the hardest steel. The late Lord Kel
vin, the foremost physicist of tho
world during the hitter part of hN ca
reer, also entertained this opinion.
Italy Is not the only country which
Is getting u bevere shaking nowadays.
Ever since the earthquake shocks be
gat In southern Italy, on Dec. 118, the
seismograph nt the weather bureau In
Washington and the magnctograph, be
longing to the same service, nt Mount
Weather, Vn., have been cutting up
strange pranks, and the earth seems to
be Mill quaking. The seismograph Is
the olllclnl recorder of earthquake
shock and writes Its story with n
stylus on black paper. The magnet
ograph photographs Its records on
sensitive sheets, each variation of the
magnetic Held being indicated Instant
ly by a point of light darted on the pa
per from n mirror. The latter Instru
ment recorded the Italian disaster nt
the Justant of Its occurrence, while
the hclsmograph began making Its
strange tremulous writing nearly ten
minutes after tho forces of nature had
wrought their havoc.
"It Is Impossible to tell just what
magnetic disturbance took place In
Italy, but tba,t It was a convulsion of
the magnetic Held of some sort Is
shown by the fact that the quake was
Instantly recorded on the magneto
graph," said Professor Charles F. Mar
vin, chief of the Instrument division of
the weather bureau, "Since the even
ing of the 27th, corresponding to early
ruprnlng of the UStli In Italy, when we
got the first records of the preliminary
quakes, our Instruments have been
pretty hupy."
Professor Marvin added that every
few days shocks of greater or less se
verity had been recorded, many of
them affecting our own contlnont. Ac
rnrdlug to the records, it took the
earthquake waves or propagations six
minutes and flftyseconds to travel from
San Francisco to Washington.
The photograph reproduced here
with showing the appearance of the
water front of Messina after the earth
quake was one of the first sent to Mils
country and was taken shortly after
the terrible disaster occurred. It Indi
cates how the splendid and substantial
etonc buildings that faced the quay In
n long semicircle were shaken down or
Irretrievably shattered by the force of
the convulsion.

"TOL'lVE AS JESUS WOULD."
The Motto of a Movement Attracting

suade others to Join them in it. Steps
were then taken to make tho move

first Sunday in every January will be
set aside as a day when those pledged
to live up to the Christ standard may
renew their vows.
Special meetings will be held through
out the country In March next In the
Interest of the movement. The Rev.
Mr. Wnllace In giving his Ideas of
how n person should conduct himself
In trying to live as Christ would said:
"Christ Is the world's gentleman. He
would have us live as ladles and gen
tlemen. The titles are often misused.
Let us claim the right to the titles in

YUAN SHI KAI'S CASE.
Dismissal of Chinese Grand Councilor
and Its Effects on Diplomacy.
Yuan Shi Kal, whoe dismissal from
his post of graud councilor caused a
great sensation hi China, has been con
sidered a friend of reform, of friendly
relations with foreign powers and of a
progressive policy generally. The ac
tion taken touurd htm by the new
government under the prince regent
has been interpreted ns endangering
the peace, and It has been feared that
It Is the precursor of the adoption of
