held in Los Angeles January 80, 81
and FEBRUARY 1, 1923. Members of
the Arizona association are anxious to
travel en- masse to Los Angeles at that
time and special cars will be ordered
for such arrangements. Any and al
cowmen in the state should get IN
touch with this association at once,
registering for spaces in special cars
for the coming trip to the coast city
convention. Arizona will be repre-
sented in Los Angeles.
President Fred II. Bixby of the Nat
ional Livestock association who also is
a member of the executive committee
of the Arizona association was present
and fully explained and led the
discussion on the recently framed bill
now before congress for ratification
or rejection.
The bill which in brief provides for
adequate financing of the livestock
industry at reasonable rates of inter
lest has long been vitality needed for
the salvation of the western livestock
men.
The bill was drafted after extensive
and very careful canvassing of the
livestock financial situation by the
president, Fred H. Bixby and the nat
ional association committee working
in cooperation with Eugene Meyer,
managing director, of the war finance
corporation.
The bill contemplates the formation
under federal law of livestock loan
companies with minimum capital Of
$250,000, such loan companies allow
ed to make advances against paper
secured by chattel mortgages on
breeding, stocked, or dairy herds and
having maturity of not more than
three years formation Of rediscount
corporations which must have min
inum capital of $1,000,000, with which
the loan companies may so rediscount
their paper.
Another beneficial factor Of the
bill calls for the licensing by the sec
retary of agriculture of a force of
competent inspectors to inspect live
stock for these loans.
Needless to say the cattlemen of
Arizona eagerly look forward to the
passing Of this bill now before Con-
gress and every cattleman in the
state should avail himself to imme
diately communicate with his senator
and congressman at once urging 'un-
firing effort to effect the speedy rat
ification of the bill by congress.
Much discussion and arguments for
and against the Los Angeles stock
yards was brought before the meeting
Of the executive committee. Officials
OF the stock yards were present, yet
| the forty-one cattlemen present at the
executive meeting passed unanimous
lly a resolution ennphatically advising
Arizona cattlemen against consigning
to the Los Angeles yards either cat
tie for slaughter or for sale.
This phase of the effect and stand
Of Arizona cattlemen against the Los
Angeles open market will be discuss
ed at very early date.

Dakota Wesleyan has no home

Everything in connection with

NQtive Born

Away down here in the land of cot
The roads at times are a trifle rotten,
And some Of the villages might be
bettered
And lots of the people are quite un.
lettered
And their clothes, at seasons, are
badly worn
But the folks, God Bless EN-, are
Native Born!
Now l haven't kick at the foreign
strain
That's helped to settle our broad do
main
But nevertheless it's here confessed
| like American natives best;
know their feeling, as they know
mine,
For we all are built on the same de,
sign.
It's nice to know, when you chance
to greet
A fellow citizen on the street,
That he will not waggle his head and
say,
"No spik de English" and turn
away,
But will smile and answer you, old
or young,
In the tangy words of your native
tongue.
1t makes a stranger feel less forlorn
To chatter awhile with the native
born,
South Of the Mason and Dixon line
In the land of waffles and southern
pine,
They mostly spring from the self
same sod
That their dads and their dads
grand-daddies trod,
And may be narrow and due for
scorn,
But l sure am strong for the Native
Born.

tense heat up there. But just sup
pose. And suppose, also that an
astronomer on Beta has a telescope
powerful enough to enlarge our
earth sufficiently to see what's GO
ing on here.
Since it takes so years for light
waves to travel between our earth
and Beta Ceti, that astronomer Is
seeing what happened on earth 80
years ago. Il would be the year
2OO3 before he could see what is
happening here today.
Apply the same idea to more dis
tant stars, and people or them
would be peering through their
telescopes today watching the Bat,
tie of Waterloo, the building Of the
pyramids, funeral of King Tut
and so on, according to distance.
This is what Einstein has in
mind when he says that time will
impress you that in the universe
there is not really any present,
past or future. All is an Eternal
Now. Time is delusion of our
senses. A light-wave-image, Of
everything we do, travels on for
ever into space. All eternal.

DID YOU HEAR
EXPLOSION FEB. 27?

Astronomers announce that an eX-
plosion, probably the greatest in
our history, took place Feb. 27 out
among the stars. Beta Ceti, star
OF the second magnitude" or bril-.
liancy, suddenly famed up and be-
came one of the brightest stars
technically known as FIRST magni-
tude.n
What the astronomers really
mean, is that the explosion took
place 80 years ago and that it be~
came visible to us Feb. 27.
Beta Ceti is so far away from
our earth that it takes light, travel
ing 10000 miles a second, so
years to reach US. In other words
when we look at this star, we see
it as it existed in 1843.
What is it like now? No way of
knowing until so years hence, in
the year 2003.
A man 10 feet from you looks
up and sees you at certain IN
slant. Father away, 100 feet be-
hind him, another man looks up at
identically the same time. But the
second man sees you fraction of
a second later than does the first
man, since it takes the light waves
a fraction Of a second longer to
reach him. The fraction is infini-
tesimaly small, Of course. 1t in
creases with distance.
You've noticed a similar pheno-
merton if you ever looked out at
sea and saw smoke come from
cannon before you heard the re-
port Of the explosion. The explana-
ton here is that light waves travel
faster than sound waves.
When you look up into the sky
at night, you see the stars as they
are today but as they were at vari-
Gus times in the past. The time
depends on their distance. Suppose
there were people living on Beta
Ceti.
There couldn't be, as we under
stand things, because Of the in

THAT CAPITOL REMOVAL
ISSUE BOBS UP AGAIN

The other morning there appear
ed in the Macon Telegraph a sign
ed editorial by Nelson Shipp that
Macon had abandoned her capitol
removal fight which has appeared
perenniaIly, for a generation or
longer, that editorial, concluding
with this broad minded and heart
ening declaration:
Let Atlanta keep the capitol,
and God bless her"
We were just on the point of
feeling easy that we had heard
the last of this question when
along comes Ben J. Fowler, one.
Of the representatives from Bib
county in the legislature, who up
and says the issue is by no means
a dead one, and that he expects
to introduce into the next session
a bill providing for a direct vote
Of the people on the question.
To bring on more talk, this same
representative charges, if press re-
ports be true, that the Telegraph
editorial was written as a result
of trade made in the recent elec-
ton for a United States senator.
Now, the Telegraph assumes full
responsibility for the signed ar
ticle Of its editorial writer and
closes an editorial in this morn
ing's paper with the statement
that
GAS we feel about it and inter
pref the attitude Of the people
Of the state and Of Bib county,
the horse is dead, and no amount
Of believing will make him again
stand on his feet. The only way
we can be convinced any differ
entity is for the people of Bibb
county to vote the three million
dollars in bonds to erect a new
capitol. Let's try it out on that
basis, and see whether or not Mr..
Fowler is really authorized and
expected TO keep up the fght;-
money talks"
As the folks generally view this,
the capitol removal question has
been the cause Of our legislature
wasting lot Of the peoples mon
ey and time to the neglect Of more
important legislation.
Just at this time we do not be.
lieve the voters of the state will
approve Of more debt being heap
ed upon the people just to crafty
the folks in Macon, or any other
city for that.
We believe with the Telegraph
that The Horse is Dead" In fact,
we doubt if Old Dobbin ever real
ly lived-outside the imagination
of the people Of BIB.

GOLF COURSES SELL y,
LAND IN SOUTH
New Scheme For Southern Capri
talists-Idea Gets Results
Worth While

MIAMI, Fla, March 10.-South-
ern capitalists have found a new
scheme to use golf to advantage.
Golf mas become so fast in the
last 10 years that its devotees are
numbered in the millions.
When a golf enthusiast figures pn
building or buying home he immedzz
lately gives thought as to the q 4
accommodation in his locality. NJ
Therein lies the big idea of south
ern capitalists who have invested
their money in real estate. Through
out the south, Florida in particular,
when some big real estate venture is
planned involving millions of dollars,
the location of golf course is given
first consideration.
In Maimi three big allotments
have been plotted in the last two
years. Each boasts beautiful golf
course that is completed and being
used, despite the fact that many
other features of the allotment are
just being started.
In the south realtors work on the
theory that men in position TO pay
big prices for real estate must have
their golf. The idea is getting great
results in the south.
