Dust Cause of

tirely free from such material, so that
the suns rays beat with full force on

regions pleasant and the rest Of the
earth unliyably hot. At present the
sun is apparently moving through a
part of space thinly scattered with In
terplanetary materials.
An Age Of Murk.
few million years ago, according
to Doctor Shapley, the earth. the sun
and the other planets were moving
through a murh which Is observed by
astronomers In the constellation of
Orion. This Is one of many vast black
pockets, or "coal sacks" In the sky,
some Of which may be detected by the
naked eye. Behind this veil in Orion
are 10 faint stars which vary in In
tensity. They average about 500 light
years (about 1S0,000,OOO,OOO miles)
from the earth. which is a moderate
distance automatically. and many OF
them would probably be very bright,
except for the curtain Of dark nate
rial hung between them and the earth.
The density of the curtain apparently
varies. from the manner in which the
stars behind 1t are Pickering. At the
densest, the black nebulae are believed
to be very rare. large stretches Of
vacuum separating the particles Of
matter Still they are sufficient, be-
cause of the great space they occupy,
to blot out stars and some astron-
omers believe the sky would be blind
ingly brilliant except for the smoky
patches. The black spot in Orion In
calculated to be vastly greater than
our solar system.
In brief account Of his theory In
the Journal of Geology, Doctor Shap-
ley said that It IS calculated that "a
few million years ago our sun was in
the vicinity of the Orion nebulae; at
its present speed the sun would re-
Quire nearly a million years to pass
through that particular nebulous re.
gion." After showing how starlight is

BOARD OF TRADE.
Summer School and Creamery Di.

summer school and Creamery Dis
cussed-Slackers Cussed.
The Ellsworth board of trade held
an interesting special meeting Mon
day evening. 1t was not as largely
attended as it should have been, only
about thirty out of present MEM
bership of los turning out, and the
"slackers" received no small share
of attention. There are some, no
doubt, whom business or other en-
gagements prevented from attending,
but there were many others who
could have been and should have
been there.
The especial business for the board
was in planning for the coming of
Boston university summer school.
The matter of raising money which
had been guaranteed to the manage
mant of the summer school for the
expense of Odd Fellows hall for
school purposes, and such other en-
tertainment as had been promised,
was taken up. A committee was
appointed, consisting of M. L. Adams,
George c. Pierson, E. F. Robinson,
George P. Smith and President Lee
land, to have full charge of this mat
Grand it was decided that as every
business in Ellsworth should be vi
tally interested in the success of the
summer school, a call for voluntary
contributions should be made for
three days, ending June IS. Every
merchant in Ellsworth, either direct
ly or indirectly, derives material
benefit from having the school here,
and the committee hopes that they
will come forward at once with their
contributions. These may be made
to City Marshal George C. Pierson.
The subscription list was opened at
the meeting Monday night and a
good start was made toward raising
! this sum.
S. S. Estey brought up the matter
of a creamery for Ellsworth, dis
cussed at recent meeting of the
Hancock County Farmers Union
Grain & Supply Co., which is great
ly interested in the project. The
farmers union had considered oper-
ating "a creamery as a branch of it's
business, but. all things considered,
it is believed that a separate cream
cry corporation could handle the
business more satisfactorily.
A committee consisting of S. S..
Estey, Luther A. Leach and Perley E.
Priest was appointed to act with a
committee from the farmers union
in the matter.
The committee on industrial de-
velopment was instructed to look in
to the matter of having signs adver-
Using Ellsworth placed at conspicu-
Gus points on roads entering the
city.
Mayor Foster, of the good-roads-
day committee, reported briefly on
the work done, that all bills had been
paid, and a balance of about $40
left of the original fund from last
year.

MORE \ THAN 4 1000
JOINED GROWERS

Thirty-eight elevators have signed
contarcts to market grain through the
United States Grain Growdrs, Inc,
and in addition 13 local associations
have been formed for this purpose,
according to Usher L. Burdick, state
manager.
The total membership thus far is
in excess of 1000. These figures
show that North Dakota is leading ev-
cry other state in the union in the
organization work, which is Just get
ting under way in the other wheat
and con states: North Dakota also
has won signal honors for signing up
the first elevator, at Dazey, and the
first individual member, Louis Nolti-
mier Of Valley City, in the country.
y. Contracts have been signed in 13
counties of the state, and everywhere
the organizers report that the farm
ers are eager to sign when the pro-
position is explained to them. The
policy is to sign up farmers co-opera-
tive elevators wherever possible, al
though local associations may be
formed which can contract with any
elevator, providing the elevator agrees
to deliver the grain from the assc-
citation members to the district sales
agency of the U. S. Grain Growers.
To date, an average number of So
patrons have signed for each eleva-
tor. The elevator can carry on sep
arately it's regular business with non
members.
Elevators have signed up at the fol-
lowing places: Wyndmere, Mooreton
