years.
Knox has been perhaps the college
closest to Keokuk for a dozen years
and more. and this city has always
had students there. The present
Representatives of Keokuk in the

I Mrs. Julia Ferris, over eighty
years old, of Carthage, is the oldest
living graduate of old Knox, immor-

wrote the tales of Siwash, and well
known since Lincoln and Douglass
debated on the steps of one of its
buildings.
College Presidents in Evidence.
1t is a big occasion when presi-

it all is the Inauguration OF James

men who have held hat office. Presi-

day in keokuk.
College presidents were as com

week as are newsboys on the streets
OF St. Louis or Chicago. Represen-
tatives Of practically every college
and university in the United States
were present for the big events.
The Inauguration program opened
last evening. Four hundred guests

 Regarding the strength of the staple of the present crop I would say inves- tigations arg being carried on to de- teTmine the relative strength of staple as compared with last years strength of staple, both in individual fibre test ingand in spinning tests, but the in- vestigations are not yet sufficiently advanced to make a positive statement in comparison, though investigations as far as conducted would indicate that this crop is fully equal in strength if not greater.
 The commercializing of the long staple industry in the Salt River Valley and other valleys of the state of Ari- zona, is becoming more widely Tnown each year and it is to be hoped that each and every cotton producer in the state will realize to the fullest exten, the vital importance of keeping up as best he can the high standard to which this cotton has attained, in the nlant- ing of the purest seed, and using every effort to harvest it in as cleanly man ner as possible.

Two standard fabrics. weighing about four ounces per square yard, were node one from 2-60's yarn containing SO thread per inch in both warp and fill ing. and one from 3-S0s yarn con- taining 6S thread to the inch in both warp and filling. All of the fabrics made came within the required speci- fications issued bv the bureau Of air craft production board. which required a fabric to have a maximum strength and a minimum stretch in both warp and filling.
 The results of these tests show that the strongest fabrics were obtained from the Salsellaridis Egyptian cotton and that the fabrics made from the American Egyptian and Sea Island cottons were practically equal to each other both in strength and stretch.

said.
IT have suffered more or less with
stomach trouble since childhood. and
for the past twelve years there hasn't
been a month that / haven't lost from
two days to two weeks from work on
account of it. My trouble would
come on me by spells-one day feel

wanted without any apparent bad ef-

my stomach. and would stay in that
condition for two or three days or

understand my case and it was

my wife had a lady friend who had
been greatly benefited by Tanlac and
she suggested give it a trial, SO I got
a. bottle and began taking 1t, and be-

in the small of my back had entirely
left me, and in two days was back
at work and haven't lost day since.
Up to this time have only taken four
bottles but have a splendid appetite

ElNSTEIN TESTS
DRAW ATTENTION
OF SCIENTISTS

. Chicago, Dec. 19.-Dr. A. A. Michel
son of the University of Chicago says
that anyone holding the new Einstein
theory of "relativity" must also ac-
Scept the following conclusions:
"A yardstick. is shorter when it is
pointing east and west than when ii
is pointing north and south.
"A clock will run slower when 1t is
being moved than when it is standing.
"A mass Of matter is greater when
it 'is in motion than when it is at
rest"
Or. Nicholson was winner Of the
$4,000 Nobel prize for physics in
1917. His Investigations in the action
of light brought on the discussion
leading up to the Einstein tests and
hypothesis which have aroused SO
much comment in the scientific world.
DIR. Nicholson stated that the con-
sequences of the Einstein theory are
radical and then he told the effect it
would have on the yardstick, clock
and solid body. But he added that we
need not get excited about it, even If
Einstein is right.
THE movement Of the earth is
small when compared to the velocity
of light and for all practical pur-
poses might: be disregarded," he said.
s"Fhe subject of relativity belongs to
the realm Of higher physics. but
nevertheless is an important matter
and the Einstein theory is to be seri-
ously reckoned with"
Professor Nicholson, however, does
not as yet accept the theory as it is
taught by the great Swiss mathe-
matician, because it does away with
the idea Of light travelling by means
of the vibrations in ether which is
supposed to fill all space.
"Einstein thinks that there is no
such thing as ether" declared the
Chicago professor. "Hc does not at
tempt to account for tho transmission
OF light, but he holds that ether
Should: be- thrown overheard. Ether
gives us: some reference point for mo-
ton, but according to the Einstein
theory, all motion is relative. How
ever, I believe it is possible, with GER
tain notifications of this hypothesis.
to square it with the ether theory and
the necessity Of some medium for the
transmission Of light. Then my main
objection would be removed"
