But HERE IT is
Bill Strong Was Bothered With the
Heat This Summer and Kept
Cool Figuring Up.

Bill Strong found the heat in
tense this summer. but he kept
cool figuring.
Call Bill liar if you want to,
or say he is mistaken if you think
so, but to prove your point you
will certainly have a lot of work
to do.
Bill Strong, the mathematical
phenom, says that these things are
true:
If the sun is 95,OOO.OOO miles
from the earth it would take TO-
907 $4,000 revolutions of a 7-foot
wheel to travel the distance.
If light travels at the rate of 3D.

600 miles since the first day of the
year l up to midnight. Dec. 81,
1918. This includes the extra day
for leap years.
In other words, says Bill, this
distance represents 449 .S54 SAB ,904
times the circumference Of the
earth.
Here is a hard one: Bill says
that if there are $4,000 miles of
railroad track in the world and
each rail averages 80 feet in length
and averages 80 pounds weight per
linear yard it would require 3,08S,-
500 freight cars of 50-ton capacity
to load the rails. And that would
mean a solid train 23,4OO miles

require 3,861.0O0,O00 ties and 80

Three Illinois Counties Rejoicing
as Termination of Trouble is
Nearing Close.

Pana, Ill, Sept. 2O.-Three I'LL
nois counties-Christian, Shelby
and Montgomery - are rejoicing
that a strike of telephone opera
tors, called June 81, is about to
end
More than three months. in
which many towns have been de-
prived of practically all telephone
service, have taught their resi-
dents that modern life without the
telephone, If not impossible, is
dangerous
Death and disaster have been
the direct result of the tieup and
the action of directors Of the
Christian County Telephone com
pany last night in granting the de-
mands of the strikers has brought
genuine happiness.
The Toll of Strike.
II Following are a few recorded in
stances of calamities which might
have been averted, except for the
telephone strike.
Death of a woman near Tower
Hill, due to the fact a messenger
had to drive seven miles to Pana
and return with a physician, in
stead Of being able to summon him
by telephone.
Death Of Glen ". FeIlers, a farm
hand, IA miles northeast Of Pana.
from loss of blood, after being shot
by Vaughn Horsman. because Pana
surgeons could not be reached by
telephone.
Deaths of Frank and Hazel Jones
of OwanecO, who were drowned in
the Okaw river, but were dragged
out in time to be rescitated if ply
sicians could have been reached by
telephone in time
Death of Jacob Yoho of near
Owaneco from the poison of bum
n Bile bee stings because physicians
~AQuld not be reached by phone.
Fire loss of $3.50, 900 at the Smith
Lohr mine Aug 80; telephone ser
vice might have saved the plant or
minimiZed the loss; instead fire
trucks took the wrong direction.
The strike originated in Pana
where the girls received only ST
and IS a week. They asked for
recognition of their union and an
increase of approximately 100 per
cent in pay.
Spreads to Many Towns.
1t spread 10 Taylorville, Stoning-
ton and Kincaid in Christian coun-
ty. NOkomis and Hillsboro in Mont
gomery county, ard Shelbyville in
Shelby county.
The miners and other labor
unions supported the strike, pay
ing the strikers their old scale. and
giving other support. In this way
the strike indirectly became con-
nected with the strike of the rail-
road men on the Chicago & Mid
land Illinois railroad.
