Origin of Natural Gas One of inc
 Remarkable Wonders of the Earth

What we now call the earth was, in the beginning, a gaseous body or a molten choatc mass probably thrown off by some planet, that through a long process gradually took shape as a globe with a thin crust.
 The hard crust, which was of slight thickness in the beginning, but in- creasing as ages passed, was made up principally of granite formation commonly spoken of as the floor of the earth. At this period there was neither animal nor vegetable life ex- isting, as the heat was too intense; gas and oil were out of the question.
 The transformation from a gaseous body to hard-crusted globe probably covered period of many millions of years. During this period, there were no mountains nor rivers and the earth had not begun to shrink.
 As the ages passed and the globe cooled sufficiently to allow precipita- ton of the vapor surrounding it, the Potsdam and Trenton rocks began to form on top of the granite in the or der named. The earth began to shrink and it was this shrinking of the crust due to it's loss of heat. that created the mountain ranges and the high ele- vated plateaus, and brought to the surface nortions of the lower layers of the earth's crust, carrying with them the metals now being mined. Had this upheaval not taken place, these metals could never have been reached.
 The earth's crust is supposed to be from 25 to 35 miles thick. The in crease of temperature toward the in terior varies at different points on the globe as shown by tests made in mining shafts and deep wells. At Butte, Montana, the copper mining shafts show an increase of 1 degree for each 52 feet descent. The average increase has shown one degree Far enheit for each 60 to GA feet descent toward the center of the earth.
 The coolinp and shrinking of the earth is still going on, which accounts to some extent for the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other minor changes taking place in the crust.
 About eight-elevenths of the earth's surface is sunken below the rest and covered with salt water:
 After the earth has become cold body, too cold for habitation, it will appear as a bright moon to some oth- CT planet. WY

 The large fossil remains found in South Dakota clearly prove that this section first appeared above the sea.
 The Gul of Mexico extended up to the foot of the Rocky Mountains and the Black Hills on the northwest and to the Adirondacks and Appalachian mountains on the east and northeast; The northern shore of this. original gulf extended westwardly from the Adirondack mountains through Vest ern New York and Ontario. This per, iod was ages before the formation of the Great Lakes, Niagara Falls and the Niagara river.
 As the old gulf receded toward the present gulf, it receded in the form of a large bay, which accounts for the 45-degree line in the state of Penn sylvania which the oil men so success fully followed in their operations tor oil.

Arras Before the War.

Tapestries are no longer woven in Arras, but the city was a thriving in- dustrial community at the outbreak of the war, it's chief articles of manufac- ture being hosiery, ironware, oil prod ucts, beet sugar and agricultural im- plements.
 In the Petite place and the Grand place Arras boasts some curious archi- tectural relics of the period of Spanish occupation in the seventeenth century houses of hewn stone whose upper stories project beyond the foundation walls and are supported by pillars which form areades over the side walks. Beneath the streets are huge cellars or magazines which were orig finally quarries. The Hotel de Vile is an interesting sixteenth century building with a belfry 245 feet high, in which hangs a great nine-ton bell called "Joyeuse"

Backdche

In spite of the best care one takes of oneself, any part of the human machine is liable to become out of order. The most important organs are the stomach, heart and kidneys.
 The kidneys are the scavengers and they work day and night in separating the poisons from the blood. Their signals of distress are easily recognized and in- clude such symptoms as backache, de- pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout.
 "The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state of health" says Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r., lis to drink plenty of pure water and obtain from your favorite pharmacy small amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by almost every druggist" Anuric is inex- pensive and should be taken before meals.

AvU.D HTSIERlA IN PRESENT FOOD CAMPAIGN

A warning to the people of Arkan- sas to avoid hysteria in the present food preparedness campaign to stick to staple crops and to avoid perishable crops unless market for them is as sured in advance, is contained in al article written by John c. Futral president of the University of Arkan sas at the request of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Lit tie Rock Board of Commerce.
 Almost everywhere people arc planting almost every available acre, writes President Futrall. "The sale of garden seed shows that in general two or three times the amount of stuff that is used in any ordinary year is being planted. It is all right to plant and produce as much as you possibly can in your garden this year, but avoid perishable things that cannot be conserved. Such vegetables as peas, .okra, tomatoes and other staples cannot be grown in too large quanti- ties provided you have facilities for taking care of them. There is great shortage of cans and glass jars and much of the food which it has been necessary to can or preserve must be dried or eyaporated.
 This year in particular it is of the very greatest importance that the far mers should take no chances. Plant nothing but staples that you know by experience will succeed in your com munity, and if possible limit your planting to those things that you have actually grown on your own land.
 Every year there are many thou sands of acres in Arkansas that lie idle for several months of the growing season after having had a crop of oats or wheat or potatoes removed. It is vital this year that every such acre should be immediately replanted to some other crop provided that it is necessary labor and seed If he can not get it, the business men, bankers and other agencies in his county should give him every assistance n securing it.
 "We should be making plans for an even greater production next year Those who are closest in touch with the international situation do not hope for an cary conclusion of the war And the come, of this war is going to depend no less upon guns and pow der and bullets and fighting men than it is upon hog and hominy' which is only homely expression for the sta pie life-conserying foods, meat and bread.
 Many persons who will engage in food production this year will need expert advice. If there is a county agent in the county he should be the first man appealed to. If not, the Col lege of Agriculture of the university has specialists who will be glad to an ey-.r,' 1o+t.---e- Tha ao1iaoro o1-- '-- 'nirl-
