FIRST WHEAT

rel of Flour offered by Mills.

To Mr.. w. R. Lander, one Of the
most enterprising young farmers of
the Gracey neighborhood, goes the
honor of bringing in the first load
of wheat. His wheat was delivered
to the Hopkinsville Milling Company
Wednesday and brought SPOT per
bushel. He was awarded the barrel
of flour offered by the mill to the
first one who delivered. Several
other farmers would have brought
in their wheat this week but the rains
which fell throughout the week stopr

Presumably the foregoing refers
to French battle flags taken by the
Germans in the war of 1901. Ar
ticle 245 of the peace treaty, in the
original draft, stipulated that within
six months after the treaty should
take effect Germany must restore to
France the trophies, works of art,
ETC., carried from France by German
authorities in the Franco russian
war, particularly the French flags
taken in the course Of the war of
1901.

FRENCH
BATTLE FLAGS
Held To Be Peace Treaty Violation;
Commission is to Take Action.

Paris, June 26.-Word of burning
of captured French Battle Flags by
the Germans has been received here.
Peace conference opinion is appar-
emily unanimous that it is distinct
violation of the peace treaty, mas
much as the document stipulated
that the flags should be returned to
France by Germany.
1t is probable that a commission
will be appointed to consider taking
action in the matter.

weight Here is problem: How big could
ture afford to build Marian man without put
ting a greater loadon every square inch of the soes
of his feet than a $50 pound earth-man rests on
his? The answer, given by Alfred j. Lotka
in Popular Science Monthly, is that the Marian
could be made three times tall, say II feet
inches. For if he stood on the earth his weight
would then be 3x3X3x150 equals 1850 pounds; but
on Mars it will be only 1850 pounds
"lf an ordinary man touches the ground with
his feet over an of about so square inches"
this writer explains, "our Marian would stand
on 3X3x50 equals 450 square inches. If, then, we
figure out the number of pounds borne by each
square inch find for the ordinary man on
earth $50 divided by so equals pounds For the
Marian II feet inches high find 1850 divid-

- RAVITATlON has fundamental influence
on every phase of life. What makes a
plant shoot its stem upward, its branches
sideways its roots down into the soil? Gravita-
tion-at least, in part. What keeps the earth
shrouded in the atmosphere from which you draw
your lfe-breath? Gravitaton. What keeps the
earth from flying off at her speed of 1879 miles
per second into the dark recesses of space, where
Tar from the suns warm rays, not only would all
life perish from cold, but even the air would
freeze solid? And what holds the moon in its
course around the earth? Gravtation. And s,
on. indefinitely. How does it all come about?
A partial answer at least can be given to some
of these questions.
healthy man weighing three grains? Ridicu-
lous! Nevertheless, it is true
You see, it all depends. Weight is a relative
thing. The earth pulls you down with a force Of
say, $50 pounds weight in New York. But, at
the same time, the moon in the sky Is pulling
you up. and so far as the is concerned you
weigh at New York, about three grains-about
much as fly.
Scientists explain that the reason why YOU
weigh so little relatively to the moon is that the
moon is only about one-eightieth of the earth in
mass, and that it is far away-about 60 times
as far from New York that city is from the
centre of the earth. Still, even so, and at that
distance, the is constantly pulling you
toward her with this weight of three grains. You
do not notice it because the earth is holding you
down with much greater force. But if the
earth and the suddenly removed and
all motion arrested, leaving you hanging
In space, you would Immediately begin to fall
toward the moon. 1t would not be very hasty
fall, it is true-at least, not at first. You would
have plenty of time to think about your msfor.
tune for it would take you over two minutes tc
fall one foot! You would, in fact, be quite un.
conscious at first that you were falling, Still,
when, after long time, you reached the surface
of the moon, you would have gained speed, and you
would land there at the rate of 1850 feet per
ond.
As you approached the moon not only your
speed but also your weight would increase. You
would not regain your full earthly dignity of $50
pounds, but at least you would be saved the hu-
initiation of those miserable three grains. BY
the time you reached the surface Of the moon
supposing you were somehow able to break your
fall you would step about lightly in your new
surroundings with weight of 25 pounds You
would astonish the natives (if there were any)
