These f'.furea are all on the gold pre war basis of values, having been ad lusted for Inflation. Stars Guids Planters. From the Detroit News. Too early for record in written history, the orderly procession of the fixed stars about Polaris gave man a means of telling time. From antiquity the stars have told when to plant to obtain the harvest. And it was astronomy and not astrology that performed these miracles. P or many centuries the naked eye was the most powerful Instrument for astronomical observation. Not until the time of the great Galileo did the telescope allow a deeper glimpse into the heavens. Yet knowledge of the position oi the earth in the scheme of things antedated the telescope; bold men had made bold guesses that the sun and not the earth was the center of rotation in our own little corner of the universe. Slow but fundamental jrere the early steps of practical as tronomers. Because imagination was strong in the childhood of the race our an cestors peopled the hills, valleys and the sky with strange and powerful beings In the shape of people, ani mals and gods. Out of a little group of stars, the Little Dipper, they created Ursa Minor, the Little Bear, with Polaris for the tip of his tail. Close by they found the Great Bear, and flocking In the sky they believed they saw dragons, men, women, birds and beasts, all out lined in light that started toward the earth many years ago. Retail Only From the Royal Magaslna A druggist waa aroused one night Dy the violent ringing of his front door bell. Looking out of the window, be aaw a young girl In evening dress. "What's the matter, miss?” he aaked. Has anyone been taken 111?" , * Oh, no!" came back In sweet tones; but I m dancing at the ball close by, and 1 ve run out of rouge." "Indeed!” snorted the disgusted drug gist. I m sorry, mlas, but I never keep enough rouge In stock ta cover a cheek like yours!" Thinking and Talking From the Yorkshire. Post. A candidate, rushing to address a meeting at a bye-election, was ac costed by a friend. “What do you think of the political situation now?" he was asked. "Don’t bother me!’’ responded the politician. ’Tve got to talk. This Is no time to think.’’ ^Watch Others, Too. From the Aberdeen American. How many anarchists do you know? How many have you ever seen in jail your life? There are some and they are dangerous and should be suppressed, but there are so few of them in this country that we cannot get all “het up” about them. The men in high oMce who have been guilty of treason are much more of a menace. The anar chist is a rattlesnake, but, fortun ately, lie rattles. The official grafter is a poisoner much harder to detect. We have never known of a red eyed. evil-minded anarchist who did rs much harm to the country as the millionaire corporation whose brib ery has contaminated men in the highest position of trust. We are not defending the anarchist, mind you, but pointing out that the re public has other enemies, Just as told, and much more dangerous. INEFFECTUAL RADICALISM Thou shalt not remove thy neigh bour's landmark.—Deut 13:14. Is the customary, the conventional, always to be despised? Shall man always take the wrong side of the road only to prove him self original? After all, the road hath but two sides, and he that taketh ever the wrong one, to show his liberal gen ius, is in the end as conventional a rogue as if he followed the harmless custom of the country. Nothing is more monotonous than a habitual irregularity. I feel and admit the extraordinary attraction of change and novelty. No man can have more joy than I in a fresh adventure. Somewhat too much, indeed, of the experimental and venturesome there hath always been in my tempera ment, loading me often into situa tions from which it was difficult to emerge with credit and skin unbrok en. Even now, many failures have not cured me of this fault. But familiarity also hr th its charm, and I count it good that life is im pregnated with it. The regular ways, the rules of the game, the customs of courtesy, and U»«* common phrases of colloquial sViSch—these are pleasant things in their season (which is dally), and without them our existence would be wayward, rude, exhausting, and far less tolerable than it is. Predict a Fine Day Six Yeara Ahead. Herbert Compton In “Indian Life In Town and Country.” You can predict (in India) a fine day six months, or, for the matter of that six years ahead. Theoretically you can also predict a rainy one, but the clouds are not so consistent as the sunshine. The rainy season some times belies Its name, and then cornea famine. In England people grumblt at meteorological conditions; curst the unwelcome rain, protest against a three weeks' drought, and have fault to find with fogs and east winds. But, with the exception of a few bronchial folk, these climatlo freaks do not kill; one Is not dependent on the skies for life and fortune. The Indian Is. Two Inches of rain with held In Its due season will destroy more human life than a quarter of a century of European warfare, and cause as much human suffering as Bonaparte did In his career. A very worthy Kentish (England) farmer was grumbling to me one day because the rainy summer had ruined hts hops, half ruined his corn, and damaged his hay. "Are your wife and children alive?" I asked him. He re plied with some surprise, In the af firmative. “Your horses seem pretty sleek?” I observed. He admitted they were In capital condition. "And your cow's?” Ah, they had done well, the pasturage was good. "Poultry?" The wife looked after them and she had not complained. "You have not been compelled to shut up your house, and leave It to look after Itself whilst you emigrated?” He thought I was a lunatic. "But you say this Is the very worst season that any man ever suffered?” Of that he was perfectly sure; he had not paid his rent, and some of the wages bill would have to come out of his pocket “Well," I said, “If you had been a.\ Indian farmer, and this had been the worst season that any man ever suf fered from, your wife, children, horses, slock and poultry would all be dead, and .presuming you had been so lucky as to escape with your life, you would be handling a shovel on relief works on the west coast of Ireland." Fond Memories From the Chicago News. After the young thing at the party had concluded her second encore the old lady leaned toward her and said. “Thank you so much for your songs, my dear. They took me back to child hood days on my father’s farm. There were times when you sang that I could shut my eyes and fairly hear the ola front gate creaking in the wind.” McAdoo and Family Enjoy Simple Life 11BB5B i 53BEB B8 ■mnai n ..'

The two old parties will mak9 a big mistake If they underestimate the IK-rsonal strength of I>a Follette. I to has an extraordinary sympathetic audience among people who. though not sharing his views, admire his courage and will be tempted to fol low him as a protest.

A Mary for His Oliver.

N. S.)— '"That sounds like the same talk we heard In Omaha when public spirited citizens there invested in filling sta tions for the purpose oB forcing down gasoline prices,” Governor Bryan de clared Thursday, commenting on the statements of local dealers that they would not let the governor browbeat i them into lowering the price so that he might clalf credit for the reduc tion.

Fifty stations in Omaha are now selling at reduced prices and furnish all proof needed of the violation of the anti-discrimination law by the stations of Lincoln owned by the same companies. When I return from my vacation. I expect to see that the attorney general has started prosecution or has some of the violators in jail. “If that result has not been accom plished,” the governor declared, “by that time, I shall use some of the Bunds set aside for that purpose to employ an attorney who will make use of the restraining power of the courts to secure relief for the con sumers of gasoline and to have the cases now in court brought by the attorney general advanced for speedy hearing.” RURAL MAIL MAN TOOK TWO SLAPS Hartlngton, Neb., June *' (Spe cial)—Harold (Pete) Roddewig, mall carrier on route 7 out of Hartington, who previously has been a good re publican, Is out and out against Coolidge and the republican party, he declares, for ever and ever, world without end.
