when summer comes and the mercury
is apparently never going to stop

Fortunately we live in a world where
the temperature seldom exceeds the

with that found on every side in ma
ture or in the laboratory. Why, this
100 degrees is less than the range
through which dish of cold water Is
heated when you place II on the stove
to boil.
A moments thought of some OF these
higher and lower temperatures is well
worth while. Liquid air at 312 de-
grees below zero is cold, but liquid
hydrogen at 421 Is still colder, while
liquid helium at 451 below zero Is the
coolest thing we know of. Going the
other way. lead melts at $50 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit. while gold
remains solid up to a bright red heat,
or 1.946 degrees. A good furnace fire
may get several hundred degrees hot
ter than this. Platinum. one of the
most refractory of metals. melts only
when intensely white hot at tenn
perature of $3.50. but even this is 100
degrees or so less than the tempera-
ture of the fame on your gas stove.

from 1900 degrees Fahrenheit. This is

best of reasons for believing that the
temperature of the sun is some $4,000
degrees or more, and it is probable
that some of the stars are still hotter.
This great heat explains the almost
unbelievable fact, found by Langley.

A rather simple looking lad halted
before blacksmith's shop on his way
home from school and eyed the doings
of the proprietor with much interest.
The brawny smith, dissatisfied with
the boys curiosity, held piece of red
hot iron suddenly under the young

q hasty retreat.
"If you'll give me half a dollar I'll

Devils Lake, ". D., Nov. 2s.--Two
hundred and fifty guests, including
some OF the most prominent men OF
the entire northwest sat down last
night at the banquet given by the
Lake Region Development association.
Following the banquet one OF the most
enthusiastic booster sessions ever
pulled Off in the state was held.
The banquet was held in the Great
Northern hotel. A sumptuous seven
course menu was exceptionally well
served.
Pres. W. H. Horton of the Devils
Lake Commercial club was the FIRST
speaker and delivered an address OF
welcome which rang with optimism.
He told the reasons for the existence

sociation, stating that It's real pur-
pose was to develop the natural re-
sources OF the seven counties COM
prising the region until they yielded

are two other powerful factors with
the governors in this movement. The
south has been particularly hard
hit throughout the past three years,
owing to partial failure of their cot

Now that the cotton crop for 1912
shows a great yield, the price has sud-
denly dropped to point where 1t is
scarcely worth the gathering of the
cotton from the producers point Of
