THE INFINITE
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921, by Frank Crane)

l have known people to lose their temper at the
mention of the Infinite, and my reading confirms that
this habit has been so from the beginning.
The Greeks loved exactitude and definition Even
every attribute of divine power had to have special
name, and their gods were conceived in movable
snaps.
To them the Infinite was symbol of incomplete
ness and imperfection 1t something one could
understand and everything not understandable was
thought to be beneath and not above human knowledge
This was at first Later on, when the Greeks had
rubbed against other nations Bit they their
and admitted that the Infinite the best symbol of
divine power.
The Pythagoreans, curiously working out their
science of numbers made the infinitely large to repre-
sent what is perfect and the infny small to represent
the imperfect
Among us the scientists are amusing themselves
with the infinitely small They cut it up into atoms and
these atoms into positive and negative eecrons and so
they will go doing probably For as long you have
something you cut it in two at least theoretically,
and theoretically is the only way to get hold OF an atom
do not destroy it. Thus may safely say that the
scientists are provided with amusing and instructive
little game that will last them till the end of time.
The infinitely large is attractive to our mag
nation 1t is big idea. The infinitely large awes US.
The infinitely small confuses us.
The infinitely large has tendency to ennobe
man, and men much less british and narrow than
they would have been had there been sky them
The infinitely large in time gives the idea OF
eternity which by comparison reduces our threescore
years and ten to very small span and works IN us hui
mty.
The infinitely large in space has similar effect
upon the character.
Both in space and time the infinitely large, in max
ing the mind humble, operates upon it as plough ano
harrow upon field. For only IN mummy can new
ideas take root.
1t is because a man can conceive the idea of the
infinite that he is capable of continual growth. Fol
Infinity is not circle anything that finds at last It's
barriers but rather like spiral which goes
up and on and down and on for ever and ever
1t is upon this spiral that the human soul finds ITSELF

Meredith's plan but this is the principal object TO
regulate the production of crops and avoid the
disastrous fluctuation resulting high prices

this fundamental industry and disasrousy affect all

this timely warning. There will be, there has al
ways been the nine O'Clock Christmas rush. when

when belated purchasers must take what they can

Off what many regard n iesser matter-C hristmas

There are many who would buy early if they

The Best Part of My G off Is My Opponents

To the Editor:
Well the gclf season Is over as far
as l am CONSERVED as / am not one of
these here red blooded he-men that
revels in Gods great out doors with
the wind blowing a mile a minute
through your whiskers so anyway ]
am through till next spring unlest
some sucker invites me to their coun-
try home in Florida r. r. fare inclu-
sive, but, it occurs to me that maybe
some of my friends would like to hear
kind of resume of my 1921 golf
which I don't claim to of broke no
course records but it would make
your eyes pop out to look over the
list of who l have played with and
practically all OF them a celebrity of
some kind and yet am just as COM
mon and democratic as If they was so
much scumb.
Well l was going TO write down a
list of the famous players that was
either my Opt. or partner during the
season but it looks to me like we
would save time by naming those that
wasn't, namely Lloyd George, Am
bassador Harvey and Eugene V. Debs.
1 can't think of nobody else in the
Who's Who book who / didn't either
play golf with them or it was their
own fault as 1 could always be
reached by phone.
OF all the games I played they's
few that stands out in memory ana
of course the most important from
political standpoint was the time l
and Farmland Rice played VS.. Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary Fletcher
and we would of beat them a whole

the time we got to the 5th hole we

This match was sprang on me as a
big surprise as j was in the caddy
house trying to borrow a naidiron as
l had broke mine scolding one of the

and she asked ME would ] play with

the LIST hole with a birdie but after
that 1 kind of held back as it was ali
in fun.
Well they amt space to give the
full details of the match but suffi-
cient to say that Miss Moore and the
other lady broke double figures twice
and when we come to the 9Th hole
Miss Moore was l up but the other
lady squared the match by sinking a
long putt for a Is and they wasn't no
extra hole played as Miss Moore's
show starts at $50 p. m The 9th
hole is about 1O5 yds. and 1t use to
be straight up a hill and you had to
play it with a niblick. but us fixed
1t so as you wouldn't hardly know
they had been a hill.
one OF the most exciting nOleS on
the round was the 5th where Miss
Moore got on the green for a vile
with her 18th and laid her LIST putt 80
yds. from the cup and then got back
on the green with a driving iron and
laid about Z a #. from the cup and
her next putt hit the pin and broke it

for a 20 which is known as a double
eagle. The ladies' total for the round

Who reused our anger into waves
