distances or many far temvte slats
and star clusters have been devised,
however, and some comparatively re-
cent investigations have yielded de-
examinations Of tho distances Of these
Objects indicating that the diameter
of the system Of stars to which our
sun belongs approximates to at least
100000 light years. 1t Is difficult to
grasp the full significance Of this fact.
ut means that hundreds Of millions
of the suns Of space throng the visible
universe at distances from US and from
each other running into hundreds,
thousands and even hundreds of thous-
ands of light years. The light waves
from some tiny object that we can just
barely glimpse in one of our great re-
Electors may have started on their jour
ney through space over 100000 years
ago, when men of the old Stone Age in
habited our planet earth!
Astronomers have found, as re-
suit of their Investigations, that the
sidereal system to which our solar
system belongs is in the form Of
flattened spheroid, with it's longest axis
in the plane of the Milky Way.
"The extent of this star system, COM
posed of hundreds Of millions of indi-
vidual suns in addition to nebul@ and
clusters, is, as we have said, at least
100000 light years along its longest
axis, while globular star clusters dis
tributed above and below its central
plane have been found to be at dis
tances from it ranging from 10000 to
100000 light years.
"This entire organized system is our
sidereal universe. Space beyond is un-
explored The globular star clusters
are the most distant celestial objects
so far discovered. The spiral nebula
may be entirely within the limits Of
this system or future determinations
of the distances of the fainter spirals
may extend beyond the limits set by
the globular clusters to include spirals
found to be still more distant.

SCORE DIE IN FILM EXCHANGE
EXPLOSION.

Between Is and 20 persons, mostly
women and girls, were killed and
more than score others injured at
Pittsburg, Pa, when terrific explo-
sion wrecked Aim exchange build
ing at 804 Penn avenue, in the
downtown section of the city. Eight
bodies have been recovered from the
ruins, and firemen, working on the
interior of the structure, report that
many other bodies are buried under
the wreckage.
The building in which the explo-
sion occurred is a six-story structure
and many of those injured received
their hurts by jumping from the up
per floors.
Many fiermen were injured, two
when an extension ladder collapsed
and others by flying glass and falling
wreckage.
William Bennett, chief of the fir'
department, went through the ruined
structure and estimated the loss a
100000.

111.688 DEATHS CAUSED BY IN
FLUENZA WAVE.

The influenza epidemic, which
swept the country during the latter
part of last year, caused 1858
deaths in the forty-siX largest cities
and increased the combined death
rates for those communities in 1918
to 1876 per thousand, according to
statistics made public by the Census
Bureau. Total figures for the coun-
try were not available.
Baltimore with 26.S per thousand,
and Nashville with 26.4 had the
highest rates of the registration
cities, while st. Paul, with 1873 and
Minneapolis and Grand Rapids with
fourteen each, had the lowest.
Grand Rapids showed the smallest
increase, the death rate for 1917 hav-
ing been 49,.
There were 442,374 deaths in the
forty-six cities, the estimated popu-
iatien of forty-two which aggregated
2O,514,52O. There was no estimate
of population for the other four
Deaths from influenza totaled SO, 436,

TO SEND GERMAN CANNON TO
AMERICA.

Most of the German artillery, as
we'll as fifty or sixty of the German
airplanes which are being turned
over to American forces, will be sent
to the United States. Plans are be-
ing worked out to distribute the can
non to cities about the country as
gifts of the government.
Soon after the army of occupation
reached German soil requests for
cannon began arriving from Ameri
can cities, many of these requests
being sent by cable. Among the guns
turned over are two heavy AZ CEN
timeter howitzers with which day at
ter day, the Germans used to pound
Verdun and the region where the big
American naval guns were located
Nearly 200 cannon of various calibel
have arrived, but so far only
few have been accepted, and most Of
them have some missing parts. II
is understood, however, that the
parts have been shipped from Ger
many.
One of each type of airplanes in
use in the German army will be sem
to Washington to be added to the col
lection of relics being made by the
war department.

ASUNCION.

In the typical North American
city you see many pretty homes set
in lawns, and often showing consid-
cradle architectural beauty, while
the public and business buildings
are usually big, ugly boxes of brick
and stone, with just an occasional
pretty court house or city hall.
In a South American city this
distribution of municipal beauty is
reversed. If you walk through the
residential section of Asuncion, the
capital of Paraguay, for example, you
find yourself passing endless walls
flush with the street. There are no
yards, usually no trees, and no at
tempt at architectural effect. The
windows are often barred and
the doors are heavy, forbidding af-
fairs without verandahs or porches,
while the roofs are fiat. Second
story balconies on some of the houses
are the only excrescences that break
this monotony of blank and forbid
ding wall.

you pass through hallway and int
a courtyard, which is full of charm
secreted from the street. Here lit
tie fountain plays, there are flowers
and palm trees and pretty benches
and very likely a parrot or monkey
The interiors of the better houses
too, are as attractive as their exte
riors are ugly, the rooms being h1gl
Iceilinged and richly furnished.
The public buildings Of Asunclon
on the other hand, are almost all o
high architectural merit. The rail
way station is thing of beauty, a
is also the government palace,
which was built by a Spanish con
aueror of long ago, while even tn
banks are richly decorated structure

THE DOG. THE CHILDREN
THE SOLDIER AND YOU.

In a quiet street of Paris, little
girl of ten or twelve was leading
frightened little boy by the hand and
frantic yellow dog by the leash.
The dog Of the dear and lovable va
riety called mongrel, was demonstra-
ting his joy in life by affectionate
bounds and leaps; the children pat
ted his head gently, but walked along
without saying word There were
trees at regular intervals along the
street. Near one of these they stop
ped and hesitated.. could hear
them talking softly. "Come" said
the little girl, well tie him here;
and surely when the American sol
diers pass, one of them will see him,
love him and take him. They will
understand by the card that is on
his neck thae we had to lose him on
purpose and why-and you must not
cry, Jean-Pierre, you are the man
now, you know, and one must be rea-
sonable. There are not enough pen
MES to get soup and bread for the five
of us and milk for baby George; as
Mamma says we cannot keep Medor.
You know how hard Mamma has
worked since Papa was killed and she
| is so tired she cannot earn enough to
even feed us ali properly. There,
be good.
| Where is your handkerchief? 1t
seems that they are gentle, these
Americans. They have good hearts
and they always help the unhappy
ones.
| An American soldier did pass by
He saw the dog, aid on a little piece
of cardboard tied to it's neck the
the quaint words in childish hand
writing "This is Medor, our pei

THE DERVISHES.

A feature of Persian life which
illustrates the simple and supersti-
lions nature of the people of the
mid-east is their tolerance of the
dervishes. These weird, gypsy-like
beggars infest the cities, and annoy
the village folk in passing from one
place to another, according to their
vows Of itinerancy.
These are not the whirling der
wishes of circus fame. Whirling
would be too exuberant form of wor-
ship for the members of this most
ancient leisure class. Their greatest
exertion consists of walking slowly
and blowing a horn to announce
their presence.
The dervish of Persia is known by
his begging bowl, conical cap, ami
NAL skin cape, and club. The weapon
through with nails, is carried con-
spicuously. In fact, it seems un-
pleasantly ready for use when its
owner calmly demands tribute. 1t is
true that there is small danger of its
use, even if aims are refused, but a
refusal, however polite and apollo
getic, is sure to arouse the wrath of
the dervish. His vocabulary may be
unintelligible, but the significance OF
his threats and prophecies is usually
understood. Fellow citizens of the
dervish tribe prefer to make a gift
at any cost, in order to avoid having
the wrath of heaven called down
upon them in the Westerly language
of an experienced heaven-invoker.
The dervish makes himself useful
to the community honored by hi
presence by telling fortunes and sto
ries, reciting prayers, selling charms
and even curing the sick by blowing
his sacred breath on them-all in re
turn for cash which he turns owe
to his chief after deducting a living
wage.

SHOE CONSERVATION

VIII. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Neolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of soleS
served on a second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neolin Soles but MIR. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate to you method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
YOU have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Neolin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &

also make Wingfoot Heels, .guaran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

SOME THING DOING
EVERY MINUTE At
GRANT COUNTY FAIR
PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY TO
TAKE CARE OF BIG CROWDS.
FINE PROGRAM.
SALE PAVILION FEATURE.

By the time this paper reaches its
readers preparations will be complet-
ed to care for an enormous crowd al
the fair today, tomorrow and Friday
and If the weather stays good the
crowd will be there in quantities
The display of agricultural exhib-
its will be found in prOfusion this
having been an excellent year for
farm products. In the art hall are
the exhibits of especial interest to
the women folks. The speed exhib-
it's are better than ordinary and
should attract much attention On
the midway will be found attractions
for old and young.
But the big feature of the fair is
the livestock exhibit. This will be
found mainly in the handsome new
pavilion erected this summer by To-
cal people who want to see the COM
munity take its proper place as a live
stock center. The pavilion proper is
60x60 containing show and sales
ring with seating capacity for 800 peo-
pie. Directly adjoining is the barn
52x120 with pens and stalls for live
stock. This building is ornamental
and at the same time highly useful.
With good crowds the Grant Coun-
ty Fair, oldest and best in the coun-
ty, should pull out of debt and go
ahead "humming." With a little
more capital the buildings will be
moved from the racetrack to the
east end affording splendid view of
races at all times. Another livestock
building can be put up to contain the
overflow which is bound to come.
This is directly up to the peo-
pie. If they want better fair they
can get behind the officials by at
tending on both big days.
Come to the fair Thursday and Fri
day. Be entertained and show that
you are with us.
