GIimpsinq the Future.

The next generation will be that of
the eminent village. The son of the
farmer will be no longer dazzled and
destroyed by the fires of the metrop-
oils. He will travel but only for
what he can bring back. Just as his
father sends halfway across the con-
tinent for good corn or melon-seed, so
he will make his village famous by
transplanting and growing this idea
or that. He will make it known for
its pottery or its professions, its phi.
losophy or its p%eacocks, its music or
its swans . . There are Il thousand
miscellaneous achievements within
the scope of the gr~eat-hearted village.
Our agricultural land today holds the
plowboys who will bring these bene-
tits.-Vachel Lindsay.

The Yankee invasion of Texas is

HOW TO LISTEN IN

There are two variables in our radio
receiver that require adjustment
when it is desired to listen-in; first,
the detector, and second. the slide po-
sitlon on the tuner. Once the slider
position has been determined for any
given transmitting station, 1t is only
necessary to adjust the detector TO
pick up that same station again.
To operate the receiver for the first
time 1t is best to wait until some
station like KDKA is transmitting be-
tween $3.50 and $50 p. m. Then ad-

Ascrlbed to Unknown Race.

Fits or shallow wells for the coilec-
tion of oil were found in the United
States by the earliest explorers, and
are believed to have been the work of
that race which lived here before the
Indians came from Asia or Northern
Africa, or wherever they did come
from. The belief is that these pits
for oil were dug by those Unknown
and unaccountable people who built
mounds In the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys, worked lead ores in Kentucky
and mined copper in the Lake Supe-
rior region.

The phrase ITO send one to Coven-

The story goes that the inhabitants
of the city of Coventry, England, had,
at one time, so great an aversion to
soldiers that a woman seer speaking
TO one was at once tabOoed. No in
%tercourse whatever was allowed be-
tween the garrison and the town /;
hence when a soldier was sent to Cow

Moons of The Planets

A moon is an attendant that circles
about the planet of a sun. 1t Is the
satellite of a satellite. The distinc-
ton between o and planet is not
one of size. Two moons In the solar
system-Titan of Saturn and Gany-
mede of Jupiter-are larger than the
planet Mercury, and rival the planet
Mars. Many moons exceed the as
terolds, or tiny planets. A satellite
Is held in sway b. both sun and

and of these the sun Is always the
stronger partner.

like the publicity manager-saying:
"That was a bully FASH" and then his
eyes focused again on his wife to find
her looking inscrutable and distant.

The Movie
Publicity Man
By FRANK H. WILLIAMS

g, 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,
Howard Cummings had been sep
arated from his wife, Martha, for over
Il year when he one evening saw her
on the screei in a neighborhood movie
theater. She looked more beautiful
than ever on the screen-She had
always been a particularly pretty girl
and seeing her again after so many
months, affected Howard deeply.
AS Howard gazed at Martha's win
someness and saw her familiar smile
and pjquant characteristics, he felt a
sudden rush Of his old affection for
her. The quarrel which had precipi-
tated their separation seemed small
and petty the time since her departure
rolled up dull and lonesome and he was
possessed of al intense desire to find
Martha and make up at once.
But when Martha had left him q
year ago he had said she was leaving
him for good. And Martha meant
what she said. Vas there any possible
chance of ever getting her back again?
All the longing for Martha which
Howard had suppressed during the
year of their separation now swept
over him in a tidal wave with his
candid acknowledgement that he
wanted her back again. Everything
else in his life now seemed trivial and
u%nimportant. But behind his longing
doomed the great fear that he might
not be successful In winning her back.
And in addition there was another
fear-the fear that he might not be
able to find her.
However, Howard was q level
headed, practical, successful business
man. Though young In years. he had
already rolled up quite a fortune, SO
he had plenty of money with which to
push his quest.
The first step In finding his wife
was undoubtedly to ascertain the name
of the film in which he had seen her
md then try to locate her through the
manufacturers.
Howard anticipated trouble in find
ing his wife. He knew that movie act
kesses are constantly changing com
FpanieS, and that movie manufacturers
themselves are also constantly coming
and going. But, to his delight, his task
proved to be surprisingly simple. The
company making the film in which he
had seen his wife was still operating,
and his wife was still employed by the
company, according to a telegram lie
received from the publicity manager of
the company in response to his wire.
According to this telegram the COM
pany vas operating at Fort Lee, N. j.,
II short distance from New York City.
Upon receiving this information
Howard started at once for New York
in the earliest possible train for that
city.
The third afternoon found Howard
