The Best Our Aim!
Our idea is service first, and the best service at that Onf
garage was established in 1916, and" since then we have main
tained service the best during the years, day in and day out,
whether a week day, holiday or Sunday. But one half day
did we close our place of business and have ever been ready
for extending service to the public. . We are continuing our
service- There are instances where it may not bring in the
dollar! but the customer must be satisfied, with work, material
and courteous treatment.
We will always have the very best workmen and most
courteous attendants at your service.

Dear Mr. Editor:
I have been going to write you a
letter for a long time, but you know
in a home with 100 children we find
plenty to do. We have the happiest
busiest family you would find any
where. I wish some of you could see
them at a meal. Hungry? Yes, just
like other children. We have very
Ittle sickness, just now is an excep
tion E3 we are having a siege of
measles. This Is a good place ' for
children to be, they do not run the
streets, end we always know where
they are. When we came here we
wefe told that we could only have
ninety or the most ninety-five child
ren here as It was hard to get enough
money to go around. We have, how
ever, taken another five by faith as
we dislike to turn so many away,
and they need a Come so badly. We
were sure our friends would stand
by us. Plattsmouth M. E. church

Woman's Home Missionary society

A NEW THEORY OF 1
CREATION ADVANCED
Tidal Hypothesis is Considered Very
Probable Washington Scien- .
tist Sponsors It.
Washington, July 19. A theory
that the earth and the other planets
were formed from ' fragments rent
from the sun by the powerful tidal
attraction of a passing star, eons ago
is advanced by J. H. Jeans, F. R. S.,
in the annual report of the Smithson
ian institution.
Casting about for a theory which
harmonizes difficulties cf the nebular
hypothesis, Jeans offers the tidal
hypothesis.
According to this theory of the
origin of the solar system, what
probably happened at the moment of
the cataclysm, J;ans says, is that the
attraction caused the sun-mass to
eject two arms or Jet f? matter, one
towards the attracting star and the
other in exactly the opposite dlrec-
tion. j
Due to the instability of the die- j
tribtion of density in one of the
masses condensations formed in it
and ultimately it broke up into sep
arate detached masses. The surviving
jet formed our sun; the fragments of (
the burst Jet are now our planets', j
From the mathematical investiga-j
tion on which this hypothesis isi
based, it appears, according to Jean's
article, that the jets ttirown out
would have been gaseous, but would
have rapidly cooled in the process of
ejection to liquid or even solid statss.
"It can be shown that the plan
ets which would be formed out of the
middle portion of such a jet ought to
be much more massive than these
formed near the ends and this may
possibly provide an explanation of.
the comparatively great masses of
Jupiter and Saturn," Jeans states.

The Wheat Yields Here
Just now with the limited thresh
ings which have been done it is dif
ficult to estimate correctly just what
the average will be. Sq far none of
the very poor pieces have been
threshed but conservative estimates
place it as low as 5 bushels per acre
while others have already threshed
as high as 26 bushels and so far it
has run from 13 to 20 bushels. One
piece is estimated to yield as high as
30 bushels to the acre, but which for
this year would be pretty good.
