Riddle OF Gravitation.

Nearly 80 years ago one of the great
est intellects connected with science
turned his attention to grayitation. In
those 80 years physical science has
made rapid advances. \ boy who has
completed a years work in elementary
physics could entertain Newton in cleo
tricity were it possible for the great
philosopher to return to earth. After
learning of the great progress in cleo
triclty We can imagine him in his eager
desire for knowledge turning to the
boy and expecting some light on gravi-
tation. Alas. not only the high school
boy, but not even the most learned,
can give any definite information on
gravitation! The problem is about
where Newton left it.

TRAINING THE CHILD.

The Most Essential Factor Is In Hav-
ing a Normal Homo.
A student of sociology recently said
in a public address chat the most es-
sential thing In the training of n child
was a normal home. This sort OF
home @ught to be common. Yet inves.
legations show that a large number
of homes must be considered abnormal.
Such are poverty stricken, overcrowded
homes, and such are the servant filled
homes OF the wealthy. II Is the large
well TO do middle class who should and
who do supply most Of the so called
normal homes.
1t has been found that many homes
which mlgls be normal are not so and
that the patents usually are to blame.
Parents are quarrelsome, a favored
child is allowed TO bully the household.
the mother is Indifferent 10 the home,
the father is ugly, discipline is zoo lax,
the children are ignored, parents re-

weakness in the parents and could be
eliminated by II little patience and
thoughtful effort.
The environment of n child In its
early years undoubtedly has good
deal TO do with forming It's character

the child can be sure OF finding peace
and just treatment. There are many
homes that for familiar reasons are
entirely without the scope OF these con

But the observations noted apply witt
reasonable pcrtlnence TO the numerous
American homes in which the parents
are well behaved and self respecting
but who are too selfish or too thought
less to give due attention TO the very
important matter OF providing a tran

mo nation can starve," writes our
secretary of agriculture, (which raises
In year 3,0O0,0O0,000 bushels of
corn"
Not only not starve, but it can live
without wheat, live well and grow
fat. Who says eating corn is a hard
ship?
Corn comes to your table in twenty
different uniforms and every one of
them perfect fit.
American corn Is the biggest and
best crop of any kind grown In any
country Of the world.
Search the earth around and you will
find no other product of the field so
beautiful as corn in midsummer,
standing in long, straight rows like
soldiers, with green banners stream

myriads of tents, which fill with their
yellow ears 10000 cribs with food too
good for any king.
Corn alone saved John Smiths colo

GOOD RACES
NEXT MON TIL.
AT The FAIR
Especial to The Times)

PUYALLUP, Sept. 8.-Better
horse races than ever before will
be a feature of this years Puyal-
lup fair, Oct. to 7, according to
present indications. Never before
at so early date has the fair
management been approached for
space by horse owners, and al
ready a large portion of the race
horse space has been reserved.
Perhaps the reason for this Is
that the management of the Puy-
allup fair has always given a
square deal to horse owners and
has never played any favorites.
For Is years there have always
been from three to six races every
day of the fair and in no single
instance have the owners known
what the purse was to be until
the close of the fair. And never
has a horse owner gone home dis
satisfied.
