The amount of heat obtafnable from solar rays by the use of simple devices is really astonishing. Would you have a cheap sunshine cooker? You need only take a wooden box and cover it with two sheets of glass separated by an inch of air-space. Place it in the sun, and soon the temperature inside Of it will rise far above the boiling point of water. You can cook eggs or meat in it, or a palatable stew of beef and vegetables.
 Here you have a real fireless cook CT, which requires no fuel to make it hot to start with. But the same meth cd, applied to a receptacle with a double jacket of glass Gan inch of air space separating the two jackets) will run up the temperature inside to something like 1000 degrees - a dead" layer of air being the best of non-conductors.
 The Up-To-Date Sunshine Oven
 The latter idea is merely for scien- tific experiment, of course; but a really wonderful solor oven is made by set ting a rectangular box on one of its edges, the upper two of it's four sides being glass covered, and the glass double as above described. The lower two sides are painted black and cov- cred with black felt for insulation. The box may be tilted at any angle to re-

Immense Country

y
 Just before the outbreak of the war Russia began to encourage immigra- tion to her Asiatic colony, and quite a number had taken up land where wheat might be raised. It is the vast ness of Siberia which fairly over whelms one when it is discussed for while it belongs to Russia it embraces more than one-half the area of the entire Empire-4,S31,SS ,SS2 square miles, more than one and one-half times as great as that of the United States ex- elusive of Alaska. While practically all belongs to Russia it is divided po- litically into four governments-Ir- kutsk, Tobolsk, Tomslz, Yeniseisk and six provinces, Amur, Kamchata, Prim- orskaya, Sakhalin, Transbaikalia, and Yakutslz. About ninety per cent. of the population are of Russian origin. The others are of Chinese. Korean and Japanese descent.
 The history of Siberia is so closely linked with Russia that it seems to be just an episode in Russian history for it has belonged to Russia since the days of Ivan the Terrible, and seems to have come to that country through the adventure, exploration. sett1em ent and development by the Russian peo- pie. While thousands of acres of its Hand are still uncultivated and many thousands of acres of swamp land ab- solutely unfit for cultivation yet on the whole during the next ten years it's products will amount to millions. The great wheat fields will be made to produce heavy crops and many of the mines will be opened. The won derful trans-Siberian railway began in 1891 and completed eleven years later covering a distance of 5,4S1 miles and costing SIP .525, 900 will give a fresh | impetus to agriculture.

An Intimate Sketch of That Far Off Snow Covered Land
 Where the American Soldier Keeps Guard.

1H E HEN one had thought of H N Siberia it has recalled the AA H horror or suffering associated WY with 1t for up until quite re- gently the average American connect ed Siberia with the deso1ate barren frozen quarters of the political eXiles of Russia. The most narrowing and heartrending stories have come from there of the treatment of the prison CTS and of the hardships they must endure. The public mind was kept so occupied with these dreadful tales that little attention was paid to the interesting part of the country, to its richess to it's possibilities if it's vast resources were developed. The soil in certain portions is quite fertile and constitutes one of the great sources of wheat which was supplied by the Rus sian Empire. In it's hills are minerals, the extent and riches of which are undiscovered and those mines which are in working order are being only half developed.
 Now that furs are so high the in ducement to trap the animals which abound in that country is great.
 The present war has already brought l great change to Siberia. First, there Is no longer any Siberian exile for po- litical prisoners and the majority of those who were there have returned to Russia to a freedom which at pres ent seems to be on a par with an exile :a Siberia. Military necessity has made cities along the Siberian railway which stretches from Moscow in cen tral Russia to Vladivostok. the great city of Siberia, which has become an Q depot for the exigencies of war caused much of the ammunition and war ma- teriaI sent from this country for the nse of the Allies to be sent across the Pacific and landed at Vladivostok Naturally this brought our soldiers who are still policing this end of Rus nia

SIGNS

When your underwear is comfy
 And you haven't any cold, When you hear no hint of dresses
 Being worn and frayed and old. When no awful plans for cleaning
 Fall upon your troubled ear. When you do not think of moving
 For at least another year. When no cottages suburban
 To mosquito swamps entice; When no bargain sales are offered
 At low and tempting price, When your bank account is swelling
 Minus drain for anything, When you have that rested feeling.
 You may know it isn't spring.

 ~2E|Go Likely That Before Long WeI Shall Succeed In Harness ing That Luminary, Com polling ngItToRemove From Mankind To a GreatExtent the Primal Curse ofLabor.
BY ROBERT TIGHE

n ID you ever try to fry an egg on H H asphalt pavement at midday
 B the summer time?
 A~ It can be done very easily; and t is an interesting experiment because It illustrates in a striking way the in tensity of the suns heat.
 On a sunny day in summer the solar luminary delivers upon each acre of land an amount of energy equal to 7,500 horsepower working continu- ously.
 If all the suns rays that strike Man haitian Island on a warm and cIoudless day could be put to work, they would develop enough power to run all the machinery of the world, propeI all the railroad trains and street cars, and heat and light all the cities on the globe.
 No wonder, then, that science is try Ing to find means whereby some of : this solar energy, now going to waste, may be turned to useful account for mechanical and other purposes.
 The problem is engaging the atten- tion of thinkers and inventors all over the world. It has been taken up very seriously by the Smithsonian Institu- ton, the late head of which, Prof. Langley, produced in the flying ma chine the solution of a puzzle seem ingly quite as difficult.
 pr. c. G. Abbot, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian, has recently de- vfsed a solar cooker" as he calls it, which operates on an entirely new principle. It bakes a loaf of bread, for roasts piece of meat, without fuel, suns rays furnishing the heat.
 It is quite simple. A half-cylinder of iron lined with mirror-glass catches the rays and concentrates them upon a metal tube that is the haIf-cylinders

F'FER ALL there is only one
"A "Hiegfeld Follies," and the 1920
variety revealed so much
charm, beauty and good taste at the
Vow Amsterdam Theatre last night
. 1at II covered itself with new glory,
In the covering process costumes
played an important part. Except for
a tableau or two, the girls were
dressed down to the ground. Bare
legs were not paraded as a brazen bid
for the box office. Yet II was some
thing Of shock to see some of the
girls wearing wings not to suggest
they were high fllers, mind you, but
angels floating on clouds, No wonder
one angel couldn't get her wings on

Feminine beauty made Creation
its own, then danced before dazzled
eyes, and as the hours passed settled
dangerously into THE Love Boat,
one OF those gorgeous pictures to
which Ben Ali Haggin devotes his
spare moments. To the beauty OF the
wcmen and the costumes was added
the enchanting settings Of that rare
g.. scenic artist Joseph Urban. The music
by Victor Herbert, Irving Berlin and
others went very well with the girls
and the scenery, while words by such
poets as James Montgomery and Gene
BUCK Filled the bill IL not the ear.
A large part Of the entertainment
was given up to excellent dancing,
with Mary Eaton as the star per-

On singing, but later in the evening
she Jared better with a song about
Mary and Doug and looked enough

Carl Randall danced with the enthus-
assn and grace of youth, tirelessly
ana often. One OF tin most charm
ing exhibitions was a Colonial dance
by Emily Orange and Jessie Reed,
after q pretty song In honor OF George

 We do not mean to infer that tests as rigid as those required of flyer should be exacted of every .motorist; and yet psychological makeup, nerve and quick thinking are important constituents in safe driving. Why any civilized com munity should permit the free use of it's roads by individuals of untried abil- ity in command of a powerful, speedy machine. which. by single false move, can be converted into mighty engine of death is q puzzle to the careful driver as yeell a& to the pedestrian.

IGREENv|LLE GINS
 CLOSE SATURDAY
Butler County's Cotton Yield Will Total About 15,000
 Bales

! GreerVilIe, November 25.-tSpecial) The proprietors of the three local gins have announced that tKeir gins will be closed down Saturday, November 37, for the season. Weather conditions have been favorable. and the farmers have about completed the harvesting of their cotton crops.
 Before the invasion of the boil wee vii. Butler county ginned from S5,oo0 to 10000 bales of cotton. The first year of boil weevil about 1000 bales lwere produced; the second year, about 900, and when the figure for this year is compiled 1t is believed that it will reach I5.000.
 The crop has been good, but it was costly and with the prevailing prices the farmer is taking a pessimistic view for next years crop. There has been Jess than 250 bales of cotton shipped from Greenville this year. and the farm CTS are determined to hold it. They say that It is cheaper to hold than to make another crop. and rather than sell at low prices the farmers of this county are not going to plant for next year.
