SCHOLARSHIP CHANCE

Extracts of letter from President R E. von KleinSmid of the university explain themselves and offer an eX- cellent inducement to the persevering and arc published here for that reason
 An examination for the county scholarship for the university will be held ;n the office of County Superin- tendert Fulton on the last Saturday of June, and graduates of high school in each county are eligible to take the examiration.
 "The examination is restricted ta five subjects:
 English, Algebra. Science (eithel Agriculture Botany. Zoology. Physics Chemistry, or Physiography), and two otker subjects chosen from History Latin. French, German, Spanish or a second science.
 The scholarship amounts to $150 and is payable by the state auditor to the university for the board, room and incidentals of the student.
 The university hopes each county will have it's scholar present this year and is glad to welcome the winner o! this examination"

Sixty years ago in a little red schoohouse in Or ange Willie Graves learned by heart for the Friday afternoon piece speaking little poem thrift little later came the civil war; during which high prices gave the poem special application So it became part of every weeks ritual the red school house for Willie Graves and his fellow scholars to rise and gravey repeat the poem thrift unison like church folk in responsive reading. Willie Graves learned the poem well that he could never forget it.
 Now the other day Willie Graves whom time has transformed into Willard A. Graves, white haired business man. fell to pondering the question of how a stoutish short of breath old fellow could do his Dit in the great national emergency And all at once he recalled the poem He thought if it had an application in civil war times it have at least ten times as much application So he has caused the verse to be thrown the screen at a popular movie theater It reads: I must not throw upon the floor the crust I will not
 eat,
 For many hungry little ones would think it quite a.
 treat.
 For wilfu waste makes woeful and I may live

latitude of the observer. In New York, where the latitude is about Al degrees
 north, we expect to find the pole star at an elevation of Al degrees above the
 horizon, or, approximately, half way up to the zenith.
 The pole star will then serve for us
 as the center of the clock dial into which we shall turn the northern heavens; the hour hand will be repre- sented by an imaginary line joining the pole star with the star Beta Cas-
 siopeia,. This star happens to be al
 most exactly on the line joining the north celestial pole and the vernal equinox, which laSter is the point to which astronomical sidereal time is re- ferred. When the vernal equinox is on the observers meridian it is hour
 sidereal time, or the beginning of the
 sidereal day; at that instant the line
 joining the north pole and the yernai equinox is co-incident with the meri-
 dian, and so is also the line joining the pole and Beta Cassiopeia. This line 1 goes all the way around and back
 again to its starting place in twenty four sidereal hours. It is now possible to make an estimate of the amount of the turning which has been completed at the time of observation. This wilt
 give us the sidereal time if we take the proportional ratio out of twenty four hours. When half the entire swing is completed the sidereal time will be twelve hours; when the line joining the pole and Beta Cassiopeia extends horizontally westward one quarter of the revolution has been ac- complished, and the sidereal time is six hours. A little practice will enable us to estimate the sidereal time this
 way well within a half hour.
 The next part of the problem is to convert the star time into sun time
 ard this is done by calculating the
 number of days which have elapsed since March P. On that date the sun
 time and star time are approximately the same, and thereafter the sidereal time gets ahead of the sun at the rate of three minutes and fifty-six seconds per day, or roughly an hour every two weeks, The solar time then will be always so many hours and minutes be- hind the sidereal time. If the calcu- lated solar time thus comes out over twelve hours, we can simply subtract twelve from the number of hours. AS an example let us suppose that the date of our observation is May and that at the time of the observation the hour hand line from Beta to the pole star was extending eastward in a hori-
 zontal direction. Three quarters Of the diurnal revolution will have been accomplished, and therefore the side
 real time at that instant would be roughly eighteen hours. The number , of days which have elapsed since March p is 45, and therefore, at the
 rate given above, the sun will have Jagged behind the vernal equinox about three hours, making the solar time eighteen minus three, or fifteen hours
 Subtracting twelve from this gives us
 three. and the correct solar time would be about a. m.

The First Thino to Be Done

It result in nothing except prolongng the struggle for the mastery of the it will be expensive and useless struggle the part of the ship builders. In the months ac- cording to the Berlin reports, six U boats have been lost but gin the period several hundred mer- chant vessels have been destroyed with aggregate tonnage of 16OOO0O. At that all ship yards of the United States the entente allies could not keep vessels the Several submarines stand ardized parts are turned out every week. It takes several weeks to build even wooden ship the chances of whose successful initial trip through the submarine zone daily diminishing
 It is admitted both here and in Great Britain, outside of official circles in the country that have yet been found to combat the sub marines which are now of an improved and larger type.
 The arminkg of merchant vessels with naval , has resulted in nothing. Three such armed vessels have been sunk within week We hear ing no more submarine chasers of the type which we thought would be effective Whether they would be match for the type of submarines is doubt full At any rate they do not possess the sea going qualities of the submarines which have wide range and which at home the surface a stormy survivors of the Vacuum testify.
 If take active and successful part in the French soil there must first be sue cessful campaign against the submarines. We have that transports laden with troops and equally essential supplies and equipment would though conveyed by strong naval force In the meantime the British and French troops must supplied with food and ammunition and the non- combatants of England and France must be fed if those nations survive.
 The work of this country is not only to raise armies and crops but to devise ways and put them where they be used against the Ger
 
 Two suggestions for meeting the submarines have been made All others appear to have been abandoned One is in the nature of appeal to American inge- down this That is too and indefinite in the circumstances The other from France. It is that grand attack made by greatest force that be mustered upon the German naval and submarine bases and have it once for al That would bring supreme contest and would end the quickly It would determine the status, of the submarine and settle the question of the su- premacy the It looks like a good deal to risk but there seems be nothing less.

ALL MEN ARE LIARS

Sing song of sorrow, Living is high; Spuds bring forty cents apiece, For beans in vain we sigh; Flour hurdles mountains Lard is slippery stuff Bacon rides in airships, Eggs are in huff Butter is a memory, Breakfast food is shy Onions are much stronger, Milk has learned to fly; Cabbage laughs at worknen, Beefsteak scorns the poor; Pork has turned a somersault, And mutton's slammed the door. The milkman peddles water The butcher weighs his hand; The grocer sands his sugar The bakers a brigand. But all are of opinion The farmer we should lynch While the farmer claims the broker Is the gink that caused the pinch. The broker bristles hotly And waves accusing arm The railroad burns it's tariffs, And points at wars alarm.

 The most interesting newcomer on our map is the brilliant Vega, the brightest star of the constellation of the Tyre, which is rising well up in the northeast Vega is the second brightest star visible from these north ern latitutdes and is exceeded only by Sirius, the giant dog star which is now below the horizon.
 In astronomical language the magni- tude of Vega is one-seventh; it Is brighter than first magnitude, for brightnesses go inversely as the order of magnitudes. The magnitude of star, however does not give us an eX- act indication of the stars actual size and brilliancy, because two factors make up the apparent brightness as seen by us. These two factors arc the actual intrinsic brightness and size of the star and also the distance wnicn the star may be from us. The inter- relation of the two factors will make up what the magnitude of the star ap- pears to us. It is only when we can get value of the actual distance of the star and combine that with the appa rent magnitude that we arrive at a true appreciation of the actual great ness or intrinsic luminosity of the star
 Fortunately in the case of Vega the astronomers have been able to measure the distance and have found it to be 1920 900 times as far from us as the sun, which itself is not less than 93,- 000000 miles away from the earth. Measurements of the energy of the light sent to the earth by Vega shows that it is compared to sunlight as one is to 66 billions. Combining this with the measurement of Vegas distance brings out shat it is at least forty-nin times as powerful a radiator as our sun.
 Two more interesting things in con- nection with Vega are that the entire solar system, sun and planets, are in a continuous motion in the direction of Vega and that some day in the distant future the procession of the equinoxes will make the north pole of the earth point nearly toward Vega and make it serve as a pole star for, instead of polaris.
 How to Tell Time By the Stars
 To be able to tell about the right time by means of the stars may become a piece of knowledge of such great value to one or another of our readers that we have thought it well to explain here a simple method of turning the sky into clock. The first thing to do is turn north and find the pole star; this can best be done by remembering that the two stars forming the outside line of the bowl of the dipper are called the pointer stars and that by ex- tending an imaginary line connecting them in the direction of the opening of the bowl we reach a star which shines brightly in a field devoid of other bright stars and this is polaris. If we know the approximate latitude of our position. we can be helped in the iden- tification of, the pole star by the astronomic theorem that the pole is elevated above the horizon a number of degrees which equals exactly the
