100000 Years
of the Photoplay

THE success of the moving pic
i ture is due to this: We are a
race of animals. We have been
standing on our hind legs 100000
years. We have been using the
written word, as a race, only about
500 years. But we have used our
eyes for at least 20,000,000 years
on this planet, and with the NOV
ing picture you get all your inn
pressions by the use of your own
eye.-Arthur Brisbane.

Of stock are to be represented. Rep
resentatives Of the different county
associations will be Joined In nation

quarters in Kansas city. We see no

y.m.r.on .. an inventor.

Not many people knew that Thomas
Jefferson was a great inventor. His
inventions were all Of articles Of ev-
eryday use. He devised three legged
folding camp stool that Is the basis Of
all camp stools of that kind today.
The stool he had made for his own
use was his constant companion on oc-
casions of outings. The revolving chair
was his invention. He designed light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by him and came into general use. He
also invented an instrument for meas
uring the distance he walked. A pillow
and hemp cultivator showed that his
thoughts were often on agricultural
matters. His pillow received gold
medal in France In 1880. Jefferson
never benefited financially by his in
ventions. but believed they should be
for the use Of every one without cost.

How to Organize a Farm Loan
Association

The following extracts from COM

the Federal Farm Loan Board will
be found Of interest to parties desir-
ing information:
"As soon as you can get together ten
or moro farmers or prospective farm
ers who wish to borrow ON first farm
mortgages, hold . meeting and adopt
articles of association. filling in ut
the top the name Of your association
and outlining the boundaries of the
district. Then have each borrower
sign and acknowledge the articles Of
association before notary public.
"Your association should elect its
directors at the first meeting. Flee
tion should be by ballot, each MEM
Der having one vote for each IS share
OF stock held. Five or more directors
may be chosen by law. Many associa-
tions are electing nine directors, for
the reason that with board Of nine,
there is no danger of a tie vote and 1t
is easier to compute the two-thirds
vote required to admit new members
LAS soon as your directors are elect
ed, have them meet and elect pres
ident. q vice-president, a secretary
treasurer and loan committee Of
three members.
"Your loan committee should pro-
coed at once to prepare written re-
port fixing the valuation Of the land
to be mortgaged by all members Of
the association. This report must be
unanimous.
This Is as far as you can go until

that he would not take 1t. The guide
asked him why. and he explained that
he had never seen any such money and
that 1t might be bad. So had to dig
up some coppers.
In all his life the peddler had never

SHIFTING OF THE WATERS.
What the SEES 6lvss to the Land and
osts Back Again Every Yer.

According to Mr.. Roscoe Num- OF the
United States weather bureau. the wa
tiers of all the oceans huve visited
every part OF the earth at some time In
the history Of the globe. SO continually
and upon such vast scale are the
winds and the forces Of evaporation.
condensation and precipitation at work
A continuous circulation Of water
takes place between the hydrosphere
THE water areas Of the globe, and the
atmosphere. The winds blow water
vapor from over the seas to the land
and ascending currents carry 1t into
the upper atmosphere. There 1t con-
denses and is precipitated, to begin the
return journey to the sea through
springs and rivers.
The amount Of evaporation from the
seas and the amount Of precipitation
on the land depend upon the tempera-
ture and the winds. 1t has been esti-
mated that nearly 100 million millions
of tons of water are transferred from
sea to land and back again to the sea
every year.
The average rainfall Of the globe Is
about thirty-three inches. In the Unit
ed States 1t varies from almost nothing
to about 100 inches. Over the eastern
half Of the country 1t ranges from
about thirty to about sixty inches and
in the Pacific states from Ave to 100
inches.
Probably the greatest rainfall In the
world occurs among the hills Of Assam.
in India. where over 500 inches fall In
a year. and sometimes as much as
forty inches In twenty-four hours.
