THE ATMOSPHERE.
Without II There Would Exist Queer
State of Affairs.

State of Affairs.
Without the atmosphere, besides the
Inconvenience to breathing. a great
many peculiar things would be observ-
ed that would seem very extraordi-
nary to us. The sun would rise
straight up in the morning into a sky
as black as ebony. traverse a black
sky and sink down to rest at night
into a black bed. No beautiful glories
Of the sunset and sunrise would APP
pear, no blueness of the heavens be
seen, no red sun gradually growing
brighter, but one that would rise as a
fiery orb and remain thus all day. No
twilight and no daybreak could cheer
us, for there would be nothing to diff
fuse the light.
Unless. the sun shone directly on a
thing we could not see it. Thus our
houses would have to be made Of
some transparent substance or else be
artificially lighted in the daytime. No
soothing shades would appear in the
landscape, but everything would stand
out boldly and clearly, every object
casting dense black shadows that
would render invisible any one enter
ing them. No voice or music could be
heard, for there would be no medium
to carry it. No birds or insects could
dit about in the trees and above us,
for there would be nothing to enable
them to utilize their wing motion. No
oIn do L. in, he. i,4 rcIvy
black sky, and no thunderstorms or
high winds would be possible. No
vegetation could exist, and no animal
could live. In fact, this old earth
would be as dead as Hector as far as
activity was concerned.
Yet this is the exact condition of
affairs on the moon, which has no at
mosphere and consequently suffers eV-
cry one Of these disadvantages.
1t is rather interesting to contem-
plate the successive events on the
earth tf the atmosphere should be
quickly removed. The first thing that
would probably happen is that every
animal, insect. fish. bird and plant
would suffer a violent explosion, for
each contains air at a pressure Of IF
teen pounds to the square inch on the
outside, which is balanced by an equal
pressure on the inside and would rush
outward on the first pressure being
removed. This can be shown by plac-
ing the hand over an air pump and
gradually exhausting the air. The part
exposed will gradually swell. Another
illustration is when a tornado sweeps
round house, taking the outside air
away for an instant. If the house is
closed the windows and doors will be
blown outward with enormous force,
and sometimes the sides themselves of
the house are blown in all directions.

It is not surprising that the gifted
inventor of such classic imaginative
nonsense as 1.-The Jumblies" and "The
Owl and the Pussy Cat" took a keen
delight in the real nonsense or real
life whenever he CHANGED to encOun-
ter it, During a doleful stay in a
dreary little mining village where it
rained all the time and he was not
well and could not accomplish the
work he had set his heart on doing

good and decorous churchgoer. found
his source of cheer in the parish clerk.
"Oh. beloved clerk he wrote CRATE

How Western Michigan Is To
Be Developed.

The Western Michigan Develop
ment Bureau has been organized for
10 purpose Of developing western
Michigan. This 1t proposes to do in
several ways. First, by advertising
the merits of the region in every
legitimate manner, and, secondly, by
bringing about conditions that will
result IN increasing the wealth pro-
ducing power Of the people already in
the territory.
The advertising Is to be done by
furnishing the newspaper press with
interesting reading regarding the ter
ritory covered, by special pubica-
tion containing a map Of each county
i'm the district, and attractive Illus
trations, by a big exhibit of fruit at
the United States Land and Jrriga-
tion Exposition ia Chicago the COM
ing fall, by making a series OF dis
plays In the large eastern cities and
distributing. advertising matter at
the same.
The home missionary work Is to lie
accomplished by furnishing system
attic instruction regarding the best
methods of agricultural and horticul-
tural development, and by opening up
new markets, encouraging the cstab-
lishment of canning factories, and Sc
curing the best possible TRANSPORT a
lion facilities.

Troubles For SaloOnists.

The new liquor bill which goes into
effect next month contains many in
teresting features Bnd bids fair to
cause considerable trouble and IL is
not unlikely thai the supreme court
will be called upon 10 settle some
points 10 dispute.
In the new law it Is provided that
In case Of Two violations of the liquor
laws the license shall be forfeited ani
the yioator cannot longer engage in
the business. The old law provided
for similar punishment upon one
con victiOn, but this was declared un-
constitutional. However, the new
law gets around this difficulty by
making 1t an agreement on the part
Of the man taking out the license.
When he gets his red card he signs
this agreement and thus becomes a
party To contract which, it is claim.
ed, cannot be broken.
Another feature which will make it
difficult for saloon keepers TO secure
bondsmen lies in the fact that no
surety can go upon more than one
bond and he cannot obligate himself
TO a greater amount than the assessed
valuation OF his property in the coun-
ty flee from all incumbrance and IN
debtedness. Heretofore one man has
gone upon many bonds and while his
assessed valuation might be but 3D.
600, he has claimed he was worth Sl0.-
900 and has been allowed to obligate
himself to that extent.

Musical circles are astir over the
announcement that "Yanda Enos and
Her Girls" are to appear at Loveday
Opera House, Monday evening, Aug,
30th.
wanda Enos and Her Girls" is a
big city attraction. 1t is unusual
and remarkable ia the annals Of
amusements when she appears In a
town of this size. and the local man
ager is to be congratulated for his
enterprise in bringing such meri-
torious company to this city.
The Detroit Free Press, in speaking
OF Miss Enos. says: "Her violin solos
were enthusiastically received and
she was recalled time and time again
amid great applause. The Brooklyn
Sentinel pronounces her playing
Fascinating and delightful" The
Toledo Blade says she was son the
program for two numbers but was
compelled to give six There are
hundreds Of press clippings from
newspapers of equal prominence which
bring the assurance that the attraction
is just a. it is represented. More con-
vincing still are the reports which
come from neighboring cities. The
local manager has been assured time
and time again, since the attraction
was booked, that the Company is one
of unusual merit, and Miss Enos the
most wonderful violin player in the
world.

CALL FOR
MICHIGAN MEETING
Potato Growers to Meet at Trav-
erse City, September 9Th.
To All the Potato
Growers in Michigan:

To All the Potato
Growers in Michigan:
The prospect now is that Michigan
will raise the largest crop Of potatoes
she ever produced.
Reports from other parts OF the
country, covering the whole 1909 crop,
beginning with the early crop in
Florida, show large yields and excel
lent prospects. The indications are
that the crop in the United States
will break all former records.
So large have been the yields in
southern producing sections that
prices IN some markets have already
reached an Improbable level. This
condition is not assuring for the large
Michigan crop, which will soon be
seeking market.
The gravity Of the situation is fully
apparent to thoughtful potato grow
ers, many of whom / have consulted
with as TO our course.
The consensus OF opinion, as far as
have been able TO gather it. is that
a mass meeting of the potato growers
OF Michigan should ne held at as early
a date as practicable. The purpose Of
the meeting will be TO acquaint grow
erS 10 all parts OF the State with the
exact situation and the necessity for
prompt and definite action to secure
profitable prices.
Therefore / call such meeting to
convene at Traverse City, Mich. L.. on
September Sth next and to continue
until all business that comes before
the meeting is transacted.
While Traverse City is not central
in the State, this city was selected be-
cause it is my home. and also OF the
secretary of the State Union, and we
can do much more to promote the
meeting here and arrange for the care
Of the people attending than IL it
were called for any other place.
As probably three-fourths Of the
farmers in Michigan are vitally inter
eSted in the price Of potatoes. this call
shou Id bring representatives from all
parts of the State.
Michigan papers please copy this
call
