Infinitely VAST AND LITTLE
They Battle Understanding and Cause
Apparent Contradictions in
Scientific Facts.

The infinitely little and infinitely
vast alike battle the understanding,
developed as it is by our concrete
finite life. Creation is typified by
the sphere. A circle is straight
line that at every point ceases to be
a straight line, and the earth's sur
face is a plane that every moment
ceases to be a plane. Following the
surface of the earth does not carry
us to the under side, because there is
no more an under side than there is
an upper side-there is only a bound
less surface. But if it we're possible
for us to build a globe on the globe,
as large as the one we inhabit, would
! it not have an upper and an under
side?
The rain causes the grass to grow,
and the sun causes the snow to melt
but we cannot apply the idea o.
cause, In this sense, to nature as {
whole, but only to parts Of nature
Gravitation caused Newton's apple
to fall, but what causes the earth X

WhV Not Smile?

Are you angry? Are your lips
cracked? Are you afraid of wrinkles?
Are you suffering from an improving
crouch? None of them? Then why
don't you smile? History tells us Of
men who framed themselves not to
smile, because they wanted a stern
expression of countenance. The saw
ages also prided themselves on not
showing any sort of emotion. Have
you not noticed in the photographs,
that the mothers of the war heroes
of Europe are not smiling? Neither
are the generals who are doing the
killing. A hard and stern expression
does not indicate a good heart nor a
clear conscience. A thief seldom
smiles. The woman of the street
smiles with her lips, but her eyes
are hard and cold. The poverty
stricken man on the street who begs
for a dime, cends his plea direct te
your heart if his appeal is accom-
companied by a smile. Only the
ia: lures Of life never smile. A smile
is the cry Of the sentry Of the soul

Death Of an Infant.

On Tuesday morning. September
ID, the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
Barnhill was made dark and sad by
the death angel entering and taking
little Pattie Benson, their infant
daughter, aged only 2 months and
10 days. but God had permitted her
little life to remain here long enough
to be dearly loyed. She was indeed
a bright bud of beauty and promise,
but He that doeth all things we'll
needed her worse than papa and
mamma and thought it best to trans
plant her from this sinful worle 70
bloom meath milder skies. We can
not understand why God, in His all
wise Providence should so sorely
grieve this family but it is not for US
to question the works of our Heav-
enly Father. So. parents, rather be
glad that your baby is safe in the
arms of Jesus" She could not wait
when Jesus was calling, and Heaven
is nearer to you since your baby will
lbe waiting and watching to Swing
wide the golden gate" that she NAV
bidtyou welcome over there, where
you will clasp your darling in, your
arms once. more. Aunt Minnie.

TURTLES were DUCK BLIND
In Barrel Below Snappers Were Con-
ceaIed Birds Being Shipped in
Violation of Law.

There are persons who take a
swapping turtle seriously, and, de-
spite his i'll nature and tendency to
remove pink little fingers, learn his
peculiarities and read his innermost
appetites. One of the latter is John
B. Thompson, federal inspector I'M
der the migratory bird law, and he
knows mighty we'll that no turtle
will eat ice in any circumstances,
says st. Louis (Mo.) dispatch to
New York Herald.
Recently five barrels of live snap
ping turtles arrived at the Union sta
ton, consigned to purveyors to the
restaurant trade. Now, turtle is not
migratory bird. The barrels were
filled in with ice, and Inspector
Thompson could see the turtles
stamping their feet, blowing into
their hands, throwing their shells up
around their necks, and making
every possible effort to keep comfort
able in the intense cold.
|'There is something in those bar
rels," said Inspector Thompson, adj
dressing no one, ''besides turtles. |

BUK0WlNA LAND OF REFUGE
Exiled Code and People Sought -
Businesses When Crowded Out
of Ancient Homes.

The following etc.e.se
corning the province Of Bukowsxs,
the neighbor of Galicia in the Aus
tro-Hungarian empire, which has
been figuring in the war news re-
Gently, was prepared by the Ma
tional Geographical society:
Legend has it that the old gods are
in exile in Bukowina. However
true this may be in the case of the
gods, it is true in the case of the
peoples Of Bukowina that most Of
them went there in exile They are
the Ruthenian and Roumanian tribes
who were crowded out in the bitter
struggles through which Europe
came to its present apportionment.
They, like their neighbors, the ex-
lied gods, lead lean existences in the
small, mountainous forest land
which lies on the outskirts Of every
thing.
Bukowina is an Austrian crown
land, with the rank of duchy, with
a few small cities and a population
of some 100000. It presents an un-
obstructed frontier to the Russians,
while it is cut off from the Austro-
Hungarian empire by the Carpa-
THAN mountains.
Its chief city, Czernowitz, is just
across from the Russian frontier.
Broken spur ranges from the Carpa-
thians further isolate much Of Bu-
kowina from its neighboring Galicia.
It is most easy Of access to Russia
and to Roumania. The first natural
difficulties which the Russians met
were the interior mountain ranges,
covered with forests and tangled
with underbrush.
The crownland has an area OF
4,O31 square miles, and lies almost
wholly in the Carpathian belt. Its
climate is severe, and it's soils, except
in the larger valleys, are not very
productive. There is little mineral
production and no industry besides
brewing, distilling and milling.

CATION ANTHRACNOSE OR PINK
BOLL.ROT


ment of plant disease of the Agrlcol-
tural Experiment Station at A. & M.
College, has written the Common
wealth a letter and enclosed a cir

bearing on Cotton Anthracnose IF
Pink Boil Rot" which has been
playing havoc with cotton 10 this
vicinity. Farmers should read 1t
carefully:
1.-The spots on the boil grow to
about one-half an inch. are brown.
and covered at certain stage with
a pinklsh coating Affected bolls
open prematurely, and the lint rots
or is of inferior grade. Wet wealth
er favors the disease. The loss
sometimes reaches Is or even 80 per
cent of the bolls.
'It is fungoue disease, and for
.unately does not spread far during
a season because the reproductive
spores in the pinkish masses are
sticky and depend largely TN spat-
te: ing water rather than on wind
for their dissemination. The disease
is carried over winter or introduced
into new localities chiefly tn, ough
internally infected seed that have
developed in slightly affected bolls.
No satisfactory seed treatment is
known. The fungus may remain
alive on the old stalks during the
winter; and cotton should not be
planted in the same field the next
year unless it has been fall or winter
plowed to bury the stalks.
ITO avoid the disease. do not plant
contaminated seed. Safe seed of
any variety can be secured from a
moderately infected field if it is
picked separately from stalks that
have no diseased hollis and that
stand few feet away from affected
stalks. If only a small amount can
be secured, plant it in a special seed
plot from which a large amount of
clean seed can be had the following
year. 1t is best to obtain seed from
from an uninfected field, if possible.
Be careful to have gins well-cleaned
if they have been used for diseased
cotton.
by this seed selection method the
following results have been obtained

PROTECTION FOR
 ALASKAN FORESTS

The Sun, Thursday, Sept. 20, l9l5-- Upon his return from a recent tour of investigation in Alaska, Henry $. Graves, chief of the Forest Service, estimated that this past summer two or three million acres of timber land in this northern Territory were burn ed over and that in the last fifteen years not less than a million acres a year were destroyed. This is the greatest loss from forest fires as regards aera that the United States has ever experienced, yet Mir. Graves says that the government took no measure of protection against them.
 These vast tracts, mostly in the interior of the territory, are covered with white birch, white spruce and cottonwood. While the trees are not large nor the yield great, still these forests are important factors in the development of the country and in making it habitable. They are neces- sary to the establishment of the prin- cipal industries, mining and agricul- ture, and are essential to the build ing and maintenance of the pioneer roads and bridges. One of the na- tional forests has a yield of seventy billion feet of good lumber and promises to become center for the manufacture of wood pulp.
 Mir. Graves says that on the Valdez trail he passed through more than a hundred miles of forests either burn, ing or recently burned:
 
 Many culverts, bridges, corduroy roads and telephone poles had been destroyed, and still worse the trees had been destroyed along the trail and these trees will be sorely needed for repairs in the future"
 He says, too, that the actual dam age here represents as much as "it would have cost to prevent the fires entirely" A trained forest force has already proved its worth wher- ever it had been introduced and there
