IT'S ASTRONOMER ASSERTS

Washington, Jan. eff wireless
messages are being received on the
earth from some other planet, as sug-
gested by William Marconi, it is not
Mars sending the signals, but most
probably Venus, says DR.. c. G. Abbot,
director of the Smithsonian astro-phy-
steal observatory and assistant secre-
tarv of the Smithsonian institute.
DR.. Abbot makes no claim that the
mysterious wireless signals do come
from another planet, but says if they
do Mars is eliminated as a possibility
because known conditions on that plan
ct probably would not permit the ex-
istence of any form of living creature
at is probably nearly 100 per cent
colder on the average on Mars than
on the EARTH" he says. knowing
what low temperatures occurr on this
earth in the course of the winter sea-
son it will readily be realized what
100 degrees colder would mean.
an the second place, even If any
form of life could withstand that de-
gree of cold, it. is definitely known
by the Investigations of Director
Campbell of Lick observatory that
there is practically no water-vapor IN
the atmosphere surrounding Mars,
which fact crosses out the possibility
of that planets supporting any vege-
tation or other form of food for llv-
ing creatures.
The planet Venus, on the other hand,
shows every condition necessary for
maintaining life. 1t is nearly the
same size as the earth and Is even
nearer the sun than the earth is. This
would apparently make the climate
considerably hotter on Venus except
for the fact that the atmosphere sur
rounding Venus is continually cloudy.
GAS regards the possibility of re-
ceiving wireless messages from anoth-
err planet, Venus, at its nearest ap-
proach to the earth, is $4,000, 900 miles
away, whereas Mars is at least So

Valuable Tree.

A giant kaurl tree has been logged
by the Queensland forest service and
the timber sold for $1,000. 1t was
known as Bells tree and yielded IT,
600 superficial feet of timber in five
huge logs, and the logging costs
amounted to $500. The net stumpage
came to twelve feet inches per 100
super feet. Had the tree been smaller
a higher prize would have been real

offered TO kindergarten for $50 on
the stump, being at the rate of less
than 20 cents per super feet. twelve

HELD FAST TO THOSE FISH
indianapolis Man Was Taking Nc
Chances of Losing the Prizes
He Had Secured.

Tom Genolin, Of the railway mai
service, tells thrilling story Of how
once upon a time he was tempted and
TEL; now In the early hours of morn
ing he slipped away to a posted
stream and drew from thence five OF
the most beautiful bass ever seen.
The climax Of his story reads thus:
The glorious day was peeping and
creeping through the silent trees
when l gathered up my bunch Of
beauties and started homeward. /
mad not gose far when / laid them In
a ciump Of grass while 1 filed my
pipe. When l started to pick them
up again 10 and behold they were
gone. A slight stir under a nearby
bush brought visions of some prov
ling thief and l threw myself prone
upon the bush and clutched for the
place where the fish might be. That
Is when | awoke and gathered myself
up from the bedroom floor where
lay clutching jangIing alarm clock"
Dir. Genolin thus ends the story:
The tragic and unbelievable part
OF my story is yet to be told. The
Gay after the incident related | went
to the pool concerning which had /
dreamed and there fshed precisely ]
Is l fshed in my dream and caught /
hVe beautiful bass precisely as l had
caught them in my dream and, lastly,
/ returned home with them, but not
once did lay them down in a clump
of grass. "-Indianapolis News.

CALL FOR A NATIONAL CRY
Great Need in This Country, 'Tis Said,
for an Explosive, Express
sive Yell.

American audiences are charged
with being unresponsive and apathet-
ic, particularly in patriotic outdoor
demonstrations. Americans are not
incapable of making loud, loyal noises.
and not averse thereto. But rarely is
parade staged in this city that does
not move throughout a large part of
its course between silent lines of spec
tators. The result is sometimes so
depressing as largely to neutralize the
desired effect of the parade.
The will to cheer doubtless arises
all along the line, but there is no short
and easily exploded yell known to us.
"Hurrah," is the traditional American
word for cheer, but no man will ven
ture its use in public, unless in the
wake of a cheer leader who prefaces
1t with a "hip, hip, hipi" Even then
the usual response testifies that this
method of cheering is getting rusty.
There is no lack of cheering on an
American football field, nor at any
kind of demonstration on a college
campus. The reason for this is that
good, expressive. explosive yells have
been devised for outdoor use. And
because they do explode, and because
they stand for something. the Ameri-
can public likes to use them. They
also like to follow a good yell leader /!
America needs a national yell. The /
man who can coin one will do the ,
country great service.-Minneapol

meet PATRONS FACE To face
Mail Order Men Prefer to Sell at Lono
Distance Rather Than Deal
With People In Their
Own Cities.
(Copyrtght)


One Of the stock excuses of the man
who orders goods from a mail order
house is that there are many things
that he wants that the local mer-
chants do not carry in stock, and that
it is necessary for him to send away
from town to get them.
This explanation may be all right
on the theory that a poor excuse is
better than none, but it fails to pass
muster when it is subjected to a lit
! tie scrutiny.
Ask the man who offers this as an
excuse for his dealings with the mail
order man why he does not go to the
local merchant and ask him to order
the articles desired If they are not to
, be found in the merchants stock. The
merchant will very gladly do this, and
the merchant and customer will both
profit. The merchant can sell you
whatever you desire at as low a price
as the mail order house can make you
on goods the same quality and he can
make small profit.
The customer will profit from the
transaction, because he will be deal
ing with a merchant who stands back
of the goods that he sells, and who
Is easily accessible in case the arti-
cles purchased do not prove to be
all that the customer had expected.
Give Home Merchant Preference.
Why not try this plan the next time
you need something which you can
not find in any of your home stores?
The merchant in the average sized
town cannot carry in stock every thing
that all of the people In his town may
want at all times. 1t would ret uire
a capital many times larger than the /,
average merchant can command to do |
this, but he does the best he. can.
he ordinarily does carry In stock at
all times many things for which there
is no general demand, In order that he
may meet the needs of his customers
to the greatest possible degree, but
there is limit to his purchasing abil-
ity. He is always ready and willing,
however, to make every effort to meet
the demands Of the community. Why

On Bakers Day.

Charles had been going to kinder
garten about two weeks. During this
time the children had been taught the
song "When the Sun Wakes Up al
Break of Day." The little fellow liked
it very much and tried to sing it at
home. The children had been told
about Mrs. Baker living above the
kindergarten and that she could hear
them singing.
This fact, with the words of the
song made deep impression on
Charles. When he reproduced the song
at home, this is what he insisted was
correct: when the Sun Wakes Up on
Bakers Day."

not. then, give him the preference over
! the far-distant mail order man if you
must have something which is not to
/ be found in the local stores? He
will do the business in a satisfactory
manner, give you as quick if not quick
er service and more satisfactory treat
/ ment, and the chances are that
he will give you better values for the
money. Finally, whatever profit is to
be made off the transaction will stay
at home and do its bit toward making
the merchant and his town and, Incl
dentally, yourself, more prosperous.
No business can be transacted az
satisfactorily at long range as it can
when the two parties to the transac-
ton meet face TO face. The only ex-
ception to this rule is in the case of
the mail order man himself. who can
transact his business with greater sue
cess to himself at long distance than
he could If he had to meet his Gus
toners face TO face That is the reason
that he does business by mail instead
of selling TO the people in his own
city. If the goods which the mail or
der man advertises in his alluring cat
alogues were the bargains that he rep
resents them to be, he would not have
to go outside of the confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the average mail
order house not only does not make
any effort to sell goods in its own city,
but will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits The mail order
man does not want to meet his Gus
toners face TO face. He can do bust
ness better so far as he is concerned if
his customer is some hundreds of miles
away from his office.
Does Business in Open.
The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand. does bust
ness in the open. He cannot hide. be-
hind corporate name or talk to a dis
pleased customer from behind the

MARY PICKFORD'S GREATEST
PLAY

Critics everywhere assert that "Pol-
lyanna' is one of the greatest picture
plays ever filmed. The reason for
this is that the philosophy upon which
the story is based constituted q theme
which at the present time has an I'M
usually wide appeal. This production
will be feature at the local theatres
on Thursday and Friday next.
Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with
characteristic far-sightedness had this
in mind when she chose this cele-
brated work as her first vehicle fol
the United Artists Corporation.
There is great craving at the pres
emf time on the part Of the public, ac-
cording 10 best informed shownen, fol
something more than mere entertain
ment. Of course, diversion is always
the paramount thing whenever amuse-
ment is considered, but at the same
time people want something big ant
mpelling-something that viii drive
home a few truths without preaching
sermon or spelling the Favor of 6
show which is meant to entertain.
Such story is "Pollyanna," with
it's cheerful philosophy of gladness
/ 1t is believed that this produe ton
coming at a time when the country is
upset by period of re&djustment, vii
have an unprecedented reception from
the picture patrons.
Miss Pickford points out in thi!
story that even when things are bat
they might be worse. This thought
planted in the minds of people wht
are dissatisfied with wage conditions
OF who think they are not getting {
fair price for their goods, will tent
to stimulate a line of mental acitivit!
which will result in stabilizing condi
tons.
The most progressive of the picture
stars believe in choosing plays, wher
ever possible, which will act as ;
propaganda Of good. It is their ambi
