Strains The Brain
Il is an accepted truth in logic. a.
we'll as in mathematics. that where
thing becomes infinitely improbable
il must be regarded as impossible. To
suppose that the speck OF star-dust
which we call the Earth Is the only
body in the Universe that Is tenanted
By conscious and reasoning beings Is,
in view Of the facts here set forth, an
infinite improbabuity. Hence we may
take IL for granted. beyond the slight
est peradventure Of a doubt, that other
worlds than ours are inhabited. And
the overwhelming likelihood is that
billions on billions OF them are oc-
cupied by living and thinking crsa-
lures.
Shall we ever be able 20 communi-
cate with any Of them. Alas. Il
seems more than doubtful. The Earth
is distant from the sun 100000
miles. and Il takes only INMATES for

Is there any one who has not felt a

X. P.S TAKE ADVANCED STEP
Lodge in Audubon Now to Take in
Members at Is Years
OF Age

In conformity with its general pro-
gram and policy of expansion by
which ii is proposed to carry the
principles of the order into newfields
of Pythian endeavor, the knights of
Pythias at the recent biennial con-
vention OF its Supreme Lodge at
Minneapolis adopted an amendment
to its organic law reducing the mini
mum age limit OF membership in the
order from 81 to Is years, the effect
Of which will be to open the dool
of fraternal hope to thousands OF
youths in the land whose hearts have
felt the touch Of human sympathy
and who long to enlist under the ban
ner Of brotherhood achievement.
Since the order was founded, mem
bership has been restricted to white
male persons not less than 81 years
of age and under so, except that per-
sons over SO might be accepted as
members by dispensatioGs. But out
OF the great World War many les
sons came of nature calculated to
change the old order OF things, not
the least of which was the idea born
OF the tremendous struggle and was
participated in by the best blood of
the nations young manhood that
youths OF IS, 10 and 20 years OF
age are fully capable OF meeting re-
sponsibilities and discharging life's
obligations with a fidelity equal to
those of few years their senior. The
alacrity with which the younger boys
Of the nation sprang to arms at the
call OF county in defense Of it's insti-
tutions affords incntrovertable proof
that one does not necessarily have

to be of legal age in order to be of
real service in times of stress and
need.
Inspired by thoughts Of service
performed and sacrifices made by the
boys OF the land and being deeply
sensible to the conviction that IL a
boy OF IS years is man enough,
strong enough and patriotic enough
to serve his country in time of war,
he is competent physically, mentally
and temperamentally to participate
in the settlement OF the problems of
peace that came to use a heritage of
the war in which he fought.
The Knights OF Pythias in common
with other fraternal organizations
are not unmindful of the obligations
the duties OF the hour impose. 1t
proposes to perform its full share
in the great work OF reconstruction
and rehabilitation, that civilization
may speedily recover from the shock
to which it was subjected and that

sentiments OF fraternal love may find

NAY HAVE STATE PARK
State Official Looks Over Ground
And Recommends Audu-
bon County.

Professor l.. H. Pammell Of Iowa
State college and member Of Iowa
park commission was in Audubon
county Monday for the purpose OF
paying a visit to the old Nathaniel
Hamlin homestead in southeast Au-
dubon county, which is being con-
sidered as possible site for a state
park.
The old Hamlin farm, now owned
by N ]. Hansen, has ON ii what is
conceded to be Iowa's biggest tree.
water elm measuring 20 feet and
7 inches around its trunk and tower
ing more than a hundred feet high.
Professor Pamnell said that so far
as he knew this tree was the levia
than of Iowa forests. Nothing can
be done to probng its life, said the
Ames man, though it might stand for
twenty years or more. The tree Is
dead with the exception of one huge
branch.
On the Hansen farm 1. the old
Hanlin home and also the first court
house built in Audubon county.
Both are largely of walnut, cut from
the surrounding woods. The Repub-
lean several weeks ago printed a
story of the big tree and these pio-
neer buildings. The tree was used
by the Indians as resting place for
their dead. Six years after the COM
ing OF Nathaniel Hamlin in 1851
party OF Pottawattamie Indians re-
turned to the big tree and carried
away the body OF an Indian child
which had been laid to rest in its
branches.
The big tree and the old buildings
appealed TO Professor Pammell and
he got a promise from Hansen to al
low the state to care for the land
marks until such a time as the state
could establish a park there. Scores
OF visitors come to the Hansen farm
every Sunday during the summer
months TO view the big tree and
ramble through the old Hamlin house
with its walnut trimmings and great
fireplace.
The old Hamlin homestead lies
along the headwaters OF the Trouble
some some six miles east OF Oakfield.
Another tree which interested Pro-
fessor Pammell was mammoth
white oak on the old DR.. Ballard
farm southwest of Oakfield. This
tree measures 10 feet and 8 inches
around its trunk and is fully seven
ty-five feet high. 1t was planted by
DR.. Ballard in the pioneer days.
