why there should be two high tides
every day instead of one--as the earth
turns around only once a day. But
we must bear in mind that the moon
not only pulls the water itself on the
side of the globe that is closest to IL
at the moment, but that II also pulls
the earth toward it in the same man
ner. though, on account Of the COM
parative rigidity u the solid portion
OF the globe we are not conscious oil
this fact. In other words, high tide
which occurs At fun moon on one side
of the earth is also accompanied by
high tide on the other side Of the
sphere because the water there banks
UP as the earth is literally pulled away
from 1t.
Now, as the earth makes one COM
plete revolution every twenty-four
hours. il follows that there must be
two high 1des-one Of them due to
the attraction of the moon on the
water directly underneath and the
other to the attraction of the moon
on the far side of the globe twelve
hours later In the intervening time.
of course, there is also low tide ap-
proximately every twelve hours-or
two high tides and two low tides every
day.

II points behind Chickasha with
Enid trailing the Huskers by Is
Joints and with Henryetta 22 points
to the rear Of Enid This puts any
of the first five teams In position to
cop the first half title. in the event
any OF the five takes a spurt and the
others drop into momentary
slump. There are but G5 points be-
tween Henryetta In firth place and
Springfield in first position. II would,
of course be in the nature of phe-
nom to see Henryetta step out and
cop the title In the first half, but the
first four teams, Springfield, Chick
asha, Pawihuska and Enid are decid-
edly In the running.
TT. Smith, Okmulgee and Drum
right are out of the race as far as
the first half is concerned. The first
lap ends with the games of July 2.

If there is difference the fact will
be brought to the attention OF the
