COMMITTEE WILL
 COMPLETE PLANS
 FOR 4TH TONIGHT

Final details of the Nenana
 Fourth of July celebration will re- ceive attention at a meeting of the sports committee to be held at the Coliseum after the show this eve
 ming, and Chairman Tom McCrosky
 has asked The News to urge all members of the committee to be on hand.
 The program of events and prizes
 were decided at a previous meet ing but there is much work still remaining to be done. All of it, l, if possible, will be disposed of tonight,
 The plans thus far made known
 indicate that this years celebration will be the biggest and best in the history of Nenana. The celebra- ition will include practically all the good features of past celebrations,
 and there will be additions which will add greatly to the enjoyment
 of the three days of festivities. Notable among the new features are the ball games between the Ne mana and Fairbanks team, with an excursion from Fairbanks which will bring several coachloads of visitors from the upper town. The visitors will arrive early Saturday evening and will be here until late Sunday night.
 It is probable that the Fairbanks band, numbering more than a dozen players, will also accompany the excursion, for the purpose of pro- viding music for the ball games and for other celebration features. Joe
 Fischer was out with a list yester- day securing funds for this feature. and has sent a wire to the upper town telling the band boys to come
 along, ample funds being in sight for their expenses and the addition al sum requested by them.

 along the line, who can be spared
 from their stations, plan to spend

PEANUT INDUSTRY
Columbia Business Men Organ.
ize Mill to Manufacture
Peanut Oil

Columbia March 31.-What prom
ises TO be the beginning Of new in
dustry for South Carolina is being
made this week. with the prelinain-
a1y work started on the Columbia
Peanut Oil Mill, to be located Just
south OF this city. The company is
capitalized at $4,000 and is backed
by one Of the biggest banks Of Colum-
bia. It owns a five-acre tract on the
Southern Railway and proposes 10
start operation in the summer. The
plant will be completed by June. !.
There Will be two buildings con-
structed Immediately, 6, warehouse
and mill. From this beginning the
company proposes 10 increase its
plant until it will handle all the pea
nuts the farmers Of this State car
raise.
T. NJ Mauldin, O. P. Loyal, l. S
Gown and B. H. Bostick are the pro-
moters. These men and officials Of
the Department Of Agriculture are
enthusiastic over the possibilities tha-
they say lie in the development OF
the peanut industry at this time when
the boil weeyil is making inadvisable
the exclusive growing Of cotton. They
state that the peanut industry can
be made to mean as much FOR South
Carolina and the Southeast as it does
for some other sections of the coun-
try. The new company proposes to
make oil from peanuts. the oil to be
used for a number of purposes, some
what as cotton seed oil is used.

Entertaining the 1920 convention

a big job, but one which the average
Sumter and Sumter county man and
woman glories and finds much pride

prove an occasion in which united

THE AURORA

Causes It

Philadelphia. March 3o.-The earth

rector Of the Philadelphia Observa-
tory.
The astronomer declared in state
ment to the Associated Press that the
universal force of radioaction" on
the sun ''hurled the final atoms OF an
explosion, namely, electrified hydro
gen and probably helium, straight to
earth"
Professor snyder's observations fol-
low:
THE recent aurora is fine indica-
ton of the explosive atomic dlsln-
tegration which takes place al the
surface of the sun and is responsible
for its prominences, spots. and CO.
roma. Our discovery Of the nasnl-
tude and precise atomic order of the
explosion of the chemical elements
in the sun, and in the stars generally,
leads to conceptions Of the aurora and
the accompanying magnetic and cleo
tric storms. which are beyond any
doubt as to their validity.

"Only within about a month of the
equinox, vernal, or autumnal, is the
earth in an orbital position TO be thus
successfully bombarded. The moving
electric hydrogen is, Of course, an
electric current, and is therefore car
ried toward the poles of the earth and
around them by the earth's magnetic
forces. The fascinating colors Of, the
aurora are due to the changing elec-
trio excitation Of the hydrogen and
other gases. The theory Of Vegard,
the Swedish physicist, which has ex-
planned the wonderful curtained au-
roras as due to hydrogen particles,
of positive electric charge, is now
shown to be unquestionably true, in
that it is but q logical result of the
explosive eruption Of the electric hy-
drogen from the sun.
The well-known delay, or lag in
time, between the solar eruption and
the appearance of the magnetic storm.
and accompanying aurora, on the
earth, Of about 45 hours, is due to the
time taken for the hydrogen atoms
to travel from the sun to the earth.
The rate of travel is about SIS miles
per second, or somewhat in excess Of
the rate Of the upward movem ent OF
the gases in some of the great solar
prominnces.
''The numerous and complex de-
tails of the auroral phenomena are
found thus to receive, for the first
time, reasonable explanation. Addi-
tional confirmation of this explanation
is given by the fact that our discov-
cries also prove that all the elemen
tai atoms, so wonderfully explosive in
the stars, are structural products OF
