Instead Of the taxing power, which was
the basis Of the present law ana
which. the Supreme court held, could

bill, like the present law, provides for

exchanges Of farmers cooperative AS

The packer control law, Senator
Capper said. was in part the model

the new bill declares purely Specula-

STARLIGHT HEAT SPECTRUM
Scientist of Smithsonian Institution
Explains How Il May Be
Determined.

BY measuring a hundred millionth
degree Of temperature and a trilliontn
of an ampere Of electric current, DR..
c. G. Abbot of the Smithsonian instttu-
ton has determined for the first time
the heat spectrum of starlight, as No
announced in an address at the Car
pegie institution of Washington
Working with the 1O0-inch telescope
of Mount Wilson observatory this fall,
Doctor Abbot measured the heat at dif-
ferent parts Of the spectrum OF ten
stars and the sun. The rays were dis
persed by a sPectrOscOpe In a band
similar to the rainbow.
The bright star Capella, which Is
very similar to our own sun In its
spectrum, was found to furnish the
equivalent of one horsepower to an
area on the earth approximately equal
TO the state of Minnesota. But this
prominent star is feeble compared
with our sun, which is equal to a
hundred billion ORpellas and sends
down on twenty square feet heat equal
to a horsepower. On the whole earth
CapeIla's heat equals 500 horsepower
and as all the stars together equal
500 CapeIlas, this would amount TO
one-ouarter million horsepower over
the whole earth from the stars alene.

THE MEANEST MAN
By WILL M. MAUPIN

I'VE heard Of men so awful mean
= They'd skin a flea for hide and
tallOw;
Or lick a soup bowl slick and clean,
No matter If 'twere deep OF shallow.
I've heard Of men so mean of heart
They'd squeeze down hard on ev'F
dollar
Until the goddess fell apart
And was compelled to loudly ''holler."
I've heard Of men so mean ind meal"
The thought Of wear gave them keen
twinges,
And so they climbed the fence for fear
To swing the gate would wear out
hinges.
And once / knew a man so mean
His heart was wont to quickly fluttef
II children at his board were seen
To use molasses on bread and butter.
But Of all men described as mean
There's one who's worse than all the
others;
his heart so small, his soul 80 lean,
That all good thoughts he quickly
smothers.
BE Is so mean, and always was,
That as excuse for never giving
He says there is no Santa Claus
And he's the meanest fellow living.

II Tabby had been watching that day
she would have seen q strange sight.
for back and forth went the wood rats
to the corn crib and instead Of eating
the corn every one carried away q full
ear, the largest one he or she could
carry.
But Tabby Cat did not see them; she
was peacefully sleeping behind the
kitchen stove to be ready for the frolie
she intended to have that night In the
woods, with no other cat about to share
IN the fun.
When all was still that night and
the moon was peeping over the tree
tops, or ran Tabby Cat to the woods
toward the rock where lived Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood Rat; but Just before she
reached II out from the rock came the
rats armed with an ear Of corn
Tabby was so surprised she stopped
for a second, but she wasn't afraid Of
a few rats. OF course, not. So she
ran toward them, and then she saw
there were not few, but a very large
number. for she saw all the shadows
as well as the real rats, you see.
Then Just as Tabby was beginning
to think there were too many for her
to manage. each rat threw the ear Of
corn II carried and all the shadows
did the same, Of course.
Tabby Cat turned and away she ran
without once looking behind her and
she did not stop until she was safe
under the steps Of the farm house
where she lived.
Such a frOlic as the wood rats had
that night. for they picked up the ears
Of corn as soon as they saw Tabby
running for home, and there In the
moonlight they danced and ate corn
until broad daylight.
MY dear" said Mr.. Wood Rat to his
wife the next morning, 81 never knew
how clever you were until last night

Early in the ffties Mr.. Douglass

the most outspoken journal in Amer

prominent he became as an abolition

many occasions as RocheSter's most

thought OF the depths from which he

lating effect on seeing some one or

finally ceased to burden the great
heart of such human nobility as Doug

to be small and hence he saw no more
a race problem but a human problem.
