How Tornado Originates.

The tornado of the Western plains is
Identical in formation with the sand
whirl. The sun beats fiercely on lin.
tied area--say ten square miles Of bar
ren prairie--and as result the air next
the earth becomes very hot, perhaps
120 degrees, and the mass Is constant
ly increasing in volume. Above the
warm air is stratum perhaps 20 de-
grees colder.
By and by passageway is made,
the hot air begins to ascend and the
cold upper air, pressing downward,
forces the lighter air through chan
mel thus formed. 1t begins to whirl, 1t
increases in velocity, surface cur
rent forces 1t along, and the tornado
starts on Its destructive journey.
The terrific cyclone originates in
much the same way, only differing in
extent. The most violent cyclones or,
iginate In tropical ATTITUDES, In the At
lantic ocean, to the north and east of
West Indian islands and In the Pacific,
In the China sea and in the neighbor-
hood of the Philippine islands.
The reason they are so destructive
Is because they are carried such great
distances by extraneous influences.

Minera Live Lonn.

1t is an extraordinary fact that even
when deaths from accident are includ.
ed, the rate of mortality among miners
Of Great Britain is materially lower
than that among any other big class
of labor, except agriculturists, and ap.
preciably lower than the average rate
of mortality among males. This fact
was discovered by Doctor latham,
while acting as superintendent of sta
tistics in the office of the registrar gen.
eral. Doctor latham points out that
while the risk of fatal accidents among
the coal miners is much greater than
among other. males generally, their
risk Of death by disease is much lower,
being 1866 per cent less than all occu.
pied males, and 23.2 per cent less than
that Of all males. While coal miners
appear to suffer more than the aver.
age mortality from bronchitis, they
show marked immunity from consump-
tion, their mortality from that disease
being less than half the average. From
diseases Of the nervous system their
mortality is Is per cent lower; heart
disease, 10 per cent lower, and from
disease of the liver, 10 per cent lower
than among all males.

Luke II :S), and this fact points to
any other season rather than winter,
and is, therefore, not favorable to the
traditional date. Besides, the ancient
tradition is of no account here, as it
varied down to the fourth century.
Clement Of Alexandria relates that
some regarded the 25th, Pachon Il. e.,
May 20), others the 24th or 25th, Phar-
muthi (Aprll 49, or 2O), as the day of
Nativity.
As to modern research, the only
point on which divines generally agree
is that Christ was not born on Christ
mas day, while numerous learned au-
thorities put the birth on almost every
date Of the year.

1t is not question of whether the
price of substitutes is higher than the
price Of hour-no matter what the
cost, they must be eaten and the flour
must lie saved. Those who do not
help willingly are to be compelled to
help. 1t is not an idle threat, and the
sooner the people realize that the gov
ernment means just what it says the
easier it will be for everybody. Don't
quarrel with your merchant when he
insists upon selling cornmeal or other
substitutes with wheat -four: he has
been told to do it and he will be pros
ecuted if he fails to obey instructions.
Don't grumble and find fault; you are
only being asked to share your loaf
with men who are offering up their
lives at the front. Fall into line with
other loyal citizens, and thank God that
the sacrifice demanded of you is no
heavier than the small matter of chang
ing your especially when it is all
the better for your digestion.

DAY Gf NATIVITY UNKNOWN
World Has Only Tradition to Rely
Upon as to Date of the Birth
of Christ.

The traditional 25th of December as
the date Of the birth Of the Savior has
no historical authority beyond the
fourth century, when the Christmas
festival was introduced first in Rome
"a. d 360), on the basis of several Ro-
man festivals (the Saturrnlla, Sigil-
larla, Juvenalla, Brumalia. or Dies
natalls Invictl Solis), which were held

the helm Let every one be on time.

good as the minister can deliver. and

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

There can be no No Mans Land in
America during this war. There can
be no twilight zone. There can be no
neutrality.
There is clear DIVISION line, and
you are on one side or the other. You
are either for the United States or you
are for the kaiser. If you are not for
America. you are against America.
The American boys over on the west
front are being gassed whenever the
Huns can gas them, are being bay
onetted whenever the Huns can bay
onet them. are being shot down when
ever the Huns can shoot them down.
If you are not hacker of these Amlr-
lean boys you are a hacker of the Huns.
You can not be for both. You can not
be impartial. You cannot be neutral.
You cannot hide behind thin veil of
so-called disintorestedness.
Once this was Europe's war. But
the Hun thou ght he could starvs Eng
land with the divers. He knew un-
restricted diver frightfulness would
ferce America into the war. But he
thought he could starve England and
then put France out before America
could get there. Then he expected to
deil with America alone, humiliate
her, fight her to her knees and compel
her to pay huge war indemnity.
The Hun made Europe's war our
war. Every day the news comes Of
dead Americans over there. They are
our dead The wounded are our wound
ed. The missing are our missing.
You must take sides. You must
choose between America and the Hun,
the Hun who brought all this fright
fulness upon the world.
You must back every war activity,
back your country, back the boys over
yonder, back the flag.
You cannot be non-partisan now.
Ii your heart beats true, you are gar
tisan, Democratic partisan. or Re.
publican PARTISAN, but an American
partisan. and an American partisan un.
til the last gun is fired. Portland

Many appeals have been made to the
American farmer in the recent past to
increase production in different lines,
but the most urgent need at present
from the farms is record breaking
wheat crop. A bountiful supply of
wheat -is necessary to win this war
quickly. The farmers of this nation
are in the battle line when they are in
their wheat fields just as surely as are
our soldiers when they are in the
trenches in France.

There is no fixed price on flax, bar
ley or other cereals and big crops of
those other grains might mean very
much lower prices, but no matter how
large the crop of wheat, the price is
known now. There can be no losses
due to glutted markets or delayed tran
sportation. The only uncertain con-
ditions in connection with growing
wheat this year are conditions over
which man has no control and those
conditions will affect the growing of
other crops the same as wheat. In
these uncertain war times it will be
much better to stand on a sure thing
than TO take any speculative venture,
