SUN DOCS BARK
IN EASTERN SKY
Unusual Phenomena Shown This
Morning When Two HaIos of
Extra Large Size Appeared
Around Old Sol.
LARGER THAN USUAL
twenty-five Degrees is the Usual Size
While Ha!os Today Were Close
to Forty-six
Degrees.

Keokuk people were treated to a
sky show this morning about 10
O'Clock that was bit out of the
I ordinary. There were two halos
about the sun, and where they
. crossed there were two mock suns,
or sun dogs. The unusual feature
I was the size Of the halo. The sun
dogs usually appear with halos of
I twenty-one or twenty-five degrees.
/ The one this morning was close to
iorty-six degrees. Besides these two
halos and the sun dogs. there was a
cross of white light marking the
diameter OF the big halo.
According TO authorities on solar
phenomena which are in the library
Of the weather office here, it was
found that halos OF forty-si1 degrees
are rare. They are described as hav-
ing an inner circle OF red. with an
exterior ring OF blue. Another ar
thoriIy speaks OF the column OF light
crossing either vertically or hori-
Zontaly.
The big halo around the sun, with
an elliptical halo crossing the path
OF the large one. is responsible for
the mock suns, or sun dogs, on either
side. Both sun dogs were visible for
q time, although the left-hand one
was more marked as the halo cleared
OF the clouds The crossing OF the
two arcs gave the appearance Of in
verified rainbows. The cross OF white
light extended through the real sun
and the moe. sun
The sun dogs are caused by the
rerraction of light from crystals of
snow and ice. While sun dogs are
seen in the winter time, and some OF
the weather wise say that it is
sign Of much colder weather. the
official weather makers of the de-
paTment of agriculture say there is
no connection between the tempera.
ture and the sun dogs.
This IS the first tine this season
that the sun dogs have been seen.

 "Airplanes and swift automobiles will bring the city to the farm and the farm to the city. Motion pie ture theatres and other entertain ments, churches, and schools will be accessible to all. City and country life will be so closely interwoven that farmers may live in the city or business men on the farm, and there will be no "back to the soil" prob lem because there will be little or no distinction between the farmer and the town man. Farming will be just as much business as is manufacturing or merchandising. New alignments will be made. The old artificial distinctions will dis appear through closer contacts and better understanding and a better feeling will prevail"
 Ten years ago the average man in South Carolina would have smiled derisively at such forecast and would have set down any one nak- ing 1t as an idle day dreamer. The | changes of a decade have taught us that the changes here foretold for the populous middle western states are not too much to expect here also if only We are up and do- ing and refuse to let the procession pass us by.

Instead of having to start home from town we'll before sun- down, many farmers now wait until nearly sundown to go into town.

In those parts of South Carolina where the roads have been improved 1t IS a common sight now to see two or three hundred automobiles, the majority of them owned by farmers parked in the neighborhood of the moving picture theatres at 9 or 1C o'clock at night. The greatest handicap which the coast countr, has today against it's settlement anc development is the lack in this sec
 tion of first-class highways usabl, the year around and in all kinds O,
