 old. Georgia's grand old lady" to the late Thomas E. watson's seat in the Senate. That shows what the ballot means to women. If such a thing had been suggested 10 years ago. Governor Hardwick would have been the laughing stock of the United States. Now, everybody, with common sense, welcomes such an appointment as wise and appropri- ate
 lady saw Renal Pasha and re- ports that he has light hair and light blue eyes. That explains Turkey, despised and summarily kicked out, being the first of the beaten nations to return triumphant. and dictate terms to the allies. Where you see a natural born conqueror you see blue or gray eyes, usually-for instance, Napoleon, Alexander. Caesar, Foch, Charles the Twelfth. George Wash ington-all men with blue or gray eyes.
 Brown and black eyes are admir- able for sentiment; therefore very pleasing and promising in women. But the quality that cuts through and gets things done seems to go with the blue or gray eyed man-for instance. Rockefeller, Gary, Armour. This annoys some men with brown or black eyes. but it shouldn't Brown eyes this time may change to blue or gray eyes in the next incarnation.
 The wine of the Hapsburg em- perors. 5.25o.ooe gallons. rarest old wines. brandies and liquors, the finest in existence. will be sold for about s25o,0o0 in Austrian money. | That is less than one cent and a half a quart. The collection includes old tokay, original chartreuse, bene dictine. etc. There are eyes to whom this news will bring furtive tear. And not drop of wood alcohol Tn the 5.25o.00o gallons.
 Mr. Replogle, steel man, told tie federal trade commission yesterday about two little fliers in wheat" When you read of the first flier you understand how easily gambling gets hold on men weaker than Mir. Rep logic. Somebody told him wheat was going up. He was at Palm Beach. enjoying the sunshine and bought "a line of about 1,250.ooO bushels of May wheat around s1.o3 bushel." He sold it out gradually for about $1.14. This gave him a little profit of $t25.- coo. That didn't mean anything to him, but it paid his Palm Beach hotel bill and left over enough to buy new car.
 The whole thing, however, means good deal to the farmers It takes 250,o00 acres of wheat land, at least to produce 1,25o,O00 bushels of Wheat There are many hours of blow ing. Narrowing. seeding. harvesting. threshing, hauling and good many hours of worry and year out of the life of many farmers involved in 25o.- eao acres of wheat.
 That's what makes farmers inter ested in those filters" and makes such men as Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas want to know more about the flying process. The farmer has an idea that others fly and he stays on the ground.
  When we know more about the mysterious rays that we control slightly. rays of great power sent out by radium, counteracting the power of gravitation. x-rays. we shall know more about this universe and how 1t works. The discovery of radiunl solves the problem of the earth's age. l Geolosists proved conclusiyely that the earth must be hundreds of mil lions of years old. physicists de- clared such thing impossible as the sun, burning up. does not possess substance to burn through so many years Substitute few tons of radium and it's power for ordinary combustion within the sun and the earth's geo. logical age becomes reasonable. Now French scientist. Destandres, 1 announces in the yellow stars'' new unknown rays. infinitely more power- full than x-rays and others that we know. Between those blazing suns, with bri1liancy of light incompre- hensible to us, and our modest Iit- | tie sun, the difference Is as great as that between tallow candle and l the million power electric light in the greatest lighthouse We know as much about this uni verse as black beetle on the track | knows about the flying express that 1 roars over it's head
 Stocks go up. The latest European 1 news is peace news. Wheat goes | down. Peace news is bad news for l wheat prices. Tn war wheat goes up. Governments that will not buy wheat to feed the starving in peace will spend their last cent and every body else's last cent to feed soldiers in war.
 And when we do have war the 1 government holds down the price of our wheat to please Europe, SO that | farmers here can't make much any how.
