When Pele sleeps the sky is blue and all day long, day after day, the f young men and the girls are singing while they work. But when the god dess of the mountains stirs there comes a dismal doom, and all the sky is shot with fire, and everywhere the air is heavy with the fumes of death. Pele, they say. is a gaunt and hor rid hag. Her home is deep down in the liquid fire of Kilauea's breast. Here she sleeps for year on year till the Hawaiian men have come to for get their fear, and then she issues forth in flames and devastating storms. Infernal rage sweeps from the great high cup which is the ves tibule of Tele's home, and all the is land trembles. In days of old, the aged men and crones wt re called to gether by the priests of Pele and their voices named a maiden, fair est of the island, to be sacrificed to soften Pele's rage. Today the mighty Kaluea is hurl ing forth the horror and splendor of Pelt's defiance, but no moaning girl -is garlanded and anointed and led up the steep and torturous path to the crater's brim. For today is not a day , like the days of old. Today the wise men from beyond the sea have their stations and all the things which wise men need, and they stand fear less at the rim to study and to meas ure and then tell the islanders thre is no Pele. Not elsewhere in the world, not !in the icy realm of Hecla or the sun- :ny land ot Ktna. are mere volcanoes I -- 1 1 1 1 a 1 - C . . . . o ncn in tore ami legend as mose cl liu' tacnic lhie. .ui an me ologists of a hemisphere can reduce ..... tn t1, tr1Q r,f crilnr Tt I from the legend and the fancy they have waslu.(1 ollt all the tragedy and nearly all the terror. Today no girl adorned with flowers stands ready at j the lip of Kilauea's awful cup; but j there are many men who peer and sniff and make long notes in little books. :o: DECIDING THE CHALLENGER Fight experts who have been ob serving Jack Pempsey as he goes thru the paces daily in preparation , for hoped-for comeback, are mere cons'rvative than th' ' Wf re laPt year when he was preparing for the iun Iney bout in which he lost his crown. . i iii.i 4 i . ' . 1 i . 1 i n ',.11 r , f ill r.m nim j "u . n..n concede the present champion a fight- ing chance But tfter their disillu sionment one rainy night at the ill fated sesqui in Philadelphia, they are at least admitting that the Dimpsey who meets Sharkey July 21 at th1 Yankee stadium will nnt be the Dempsey who fought Williard. or even Firpo. Mary of them, however, concede him at least an even chance against the youthful Sharkey. For in spite jOf increasing ago he has still the two , most important assets of a boxer. He ; can hit. apparently as hard as he ever j could, and he can t ike probably a ! harder clout cn the jaw than any other boxer in American ring history and still smile. The difficulty, it a pears, is with his legs. The greater boxers are, tlmse who can rush quickly, deliver j a hard blow or two, and git away without receiving much damage. In j that type of fighting Dempsey will j never bf his old self. His hope in this, and in future bcuts in which h participates, must be that he can manage somehow to get in a few of his old-fashioned blows without i chasing his opponents all around the j ring. I If Sharkey is skillful enough, or fortunate enough, to avoid these blows, he, rather than the former champion, will have the honor, and what is more important, a slice in the purse, which will go with the Tunney match later in the year. :o: PUSHING THE CUP-TAIN I Despite the sensational nature of i the flights, it is apparent that the ; airmen making the long-distance trips have a very serious goal. Lind- j bergh, Byrd. Chamberlain, Maitland j these and their companions are un- j der the spell of the dawning era of air transportation. j Through the ages men have been j lured on by such high adventures. J Explorers and the pioneers in open- : ing now countries to civilization are j the classic example of the urge that j drives men on to virgin fields await- ( ing mastery. i The airmen stand apart from the 1 i rest of us.

EAINS, Under the refreshment of the re cent rains, the dark green of the corn fields, and the lighter green of the pastures, are a comforting sight. The agricultural territory adjacent to Kansas City looks like a vast gar den. The corn is just at the stage where timely rains may mean the difference between a satisfactory yield and complete failure on indi vidual farms. General rains thru out Iov.a. Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas during the last week wiilj doubtless make the August reports for those states materially higher than the early July estimates. Feed crops ar.d pastures were also benefit ed materially. It should be recalled that the esti mated wheat yield in KansDS in creased 15 million bushels from June 1 to July 1. Threshing returns indi cate that the yield in Nebraska will be materially higher than the July estimate. The result is that the general farmers in this territory will be in much better condition than in 1926. ' There is an estimated increase of 31 million bushels of oats, 4 mil lion tons of hay, 4 million bushels of potatoes and 2 million bushels of rye in the seven states in the Kansas City trade territory over 192G yields. Cat tle prices are higher that ever known in peace times, hogs are selling above $10 a hundred. The price of poultry products is improving. Credit is abundant. Farms are be ing operated with less borrowed money and labor is more efficient. The 1927 crops will be produced at lower costs than usual. The general trend of nonagricultural products continues downward. The saving in interest on money borrowed, the fixed charges against land which is valued upon its productive 'rapacity, the ef ficiency of farm labor, the use cf labor-saving machinery, slight reduc i tion in farm taxes, increased prices j for farm products and material re duction in the cost of non-agricultur-'al commodities purchased will add to the net income of the farmers thru- out the Missouri Valley. Even with the improvement notic ed the farmer's earnings will not yet equal those of men engaged in indus try. After several years in which the farmer's income has forced a reduc tion in his standard of living it is fine to be able to observe a material improvement.
