The svrface OF the earth can be
compared 20 tie top Of barrel of
asphalt, hard and rigid through and
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the elements. For ten
miles in n straight line below the
surface the earth Is probably dry
and hard, of rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center OF the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, just
as YOU can keep water from boiling

sure The fact that there is steam
In volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure of heat in
the earth. The character of matter
in the center Of the earth or its i'm
mediate environment must be some
thing ike pumIce stone-spongy,
porous, hght-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted in
the high temperatures that are
there it dissolyes, and there is con-
siderable water IN it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

One of the best educational features
the Indiana State Fair offers to the
farm boys of the ss~te is the Judging
contest, in which tue boys show their
ability to judge livestock and grains,
the awards being free scholarships at
Purdue University. Since this feature
was started some years ago about
twenty farm boys have won and used
the Purdue scholarships, and to them
has been opened the way to obtain an
education along agricultural lines
which might not otherwise have been
available to them
The boys WHO do not win scholar

does Mr.. Hunt think that the land is
not tool of production? He states
a fact when he says one could place
all the machines on a desert and pro-
duce nothing. So, then, land GER
tainly is tool of production, for with
it we could do nothing. To advocate
the collective ownership of the tools
of production is Socialism, and
don't think it is very much Of a So

country were forced into a war if it

started a discussion as to whether
a democratic preparedness would not
be a good thing for the. workers of
America.
Militarism is being used by the ex-

control of the working class, just as
the constitution of the United States
is being used to betray the declara-

PROMINENT PRIEST
 OF ALABAMA DEAD

St. Bernard, June 14.-(Special. )-The Rev. Urban Tracy, o. S B.. the oldest and one of the most prominent priests in the diocese of Alabama, died at St. Ser nard abbey Sunday night at 1l:30 o'clock. Although the reverend de- deceased had been in poor health for sometime, it was not until the last few days that his condition became alarmingly worse. Last Wednesday he had slight stroke of paralysis in con sequence of which he was confined to his room. No serious illness, however, appeared until Sunday afternoon, when it became evident that he was rapidly approaching his end. He received the last rites of the church and calmly resigned his soul into the hands of his Maker.
