Saws Moon Is oval sbaped.

Astronomers will await with inter
est details of the experiment" car
ried out by Professor Stiattesi at Bo-
logna by which he. claims to have
demonstrated that the moon is oval
shaped.
The moon is more easily measured
than any other heavenly body, but
though it has been measured thou
sands of times no difference has been
detected between it's polar and equa-
torial diameters. A clergyman recently
put forward the theory that the side
Of the moon always turned away from
the earth is of the same size and
shape as the great pyramid which, &C
cording to Revelations, forms the
New jerusalem" Eventually, SO as
serts the author Of the theory, the
moon will fall on the earth, and the
hemisphere turned earthward will
bury itself In our planet, while the
pyramidal New Jerusalem will project
above the rack and ruin Of the ele-
ments as the Celestial City, where the
faithful are to spend eternity.
This remarkable lunar theory has
been published with g preface by the
bishop Of Exeter.

ONLY LEFT PAIR OF SLIPPERS
Reason for Curious Monument In Am.
ssterdam Over Burial Place of
Eccentric Individual.

There stands in a church in Amster-
dam an ancient and curious monument
Of white marble which always attracts
the attention Of visitors, and their
curiosity Is usually heightened by its
inscription. On the monument are en-
graved two slippers of a singular
shape, with the inscription, "Effen
Nyt," which, in English, would be
even nothing" or, more colloquially
put, nothing else" The story that is
told of this strange device is as fol-
lows:
A certain rich man, who was very
extravagant in his tastes, because
possessed Of the idea that he had just
SO many years to live and no more,
and he calculated that II he spent a
stated portion of his principal every
year his life and his property would
expire together.
He was lavishly generous to others,
as well as indulgent of his own whims.
and it SO happened that he died the
very year he had prophesied would be
his last. He had, furthermore, brought
his fortune to such a low ebb that,
after his few debts were paid. nothing
remained Of all his possessions. aside
from the clothes in which he vas to be
buried, but a pair Of curious old slip

Some of his relatives, to whom he
had been kind in his life, erected this
strangely decorated monument to

THE PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
y 'VSCI H"V'N
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National b'armers Union
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali.
les and echoed in the country press.
but the troubles Of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching In
y~estigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un.
derstood and illuminated by the pow.
er Of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position In pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
yelop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work Is to build
and their object Is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity Of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable.
but he should by all mean subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without 1t. The local paper
is part Of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear.

the farmers, and the advertising col.
umns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux.
uries of life. We need more art. sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are we'll balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns OF
the rural press.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and in%ordinate am
billions of humanity. or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug.
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power. and
many times the flames of personal
conflict seal the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path.
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter.
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before It a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff.
