|. The Return From Captivity Pre-
dicted (Jer. 20 :1O-14.
1t seems that false prophets were
fiourishing in Babylon. telling the peo-
pie that they would speedily be re-
stored to their own land. To counter
act this the Lord moved Jeremiah to
send a letter to the captives in Baby
Ion Ger. 20 :1-9). In this letter he adj
vised them to settle down and quietly
pursue their regular callings of life
and not to be led astray by false proph-
cts.
l. The Length of the Captivity ".
10). Their coming back was to be
after seventy years. From Daniel o.
it is clear that seventy years means a
definite time. 1t dates from the time
when the first company was taken cap
tive among which Daniel was found.

l. The Proclamation of Cyrus wv.
ID. This was not by accident, but
that the word Of the Lord might be
fulfilled u. D. God never forgets.
What He has promised He will do. 1t
was by divine initiation-the Lord
stirred up the spirit of Cyrus. In his
proclamation he ordered that all who
desired should go back and build the
house Of the Lord God, and those who
lacked this inclination should lend as
sistance by making gifts of silver, gold
and beasts.

New Treatment For
varicOse Glands and Ulcers

Swollen veins are dangerous and Of
ten burst. Sufferers are advised to get
a two-ounce, original bottle of Emer-
aid Oil (full strength), at H. j. Dennis
& Co.'s or Orange Drug Co.'S and start
to reduce the veins and punches at
once.
Physicians recommend Emerald Oil;
it is used in hospital practice and a
small bottle will last a long time, be-
cause it is very concentrated and a
little goes a long way. Apply night
and morning with a soft brush as di-
rected until the swelling is reduced to
normal.
So m~arvelously powerful is Emerald
Oil that swollen glands and even goi-
tire disappear when used steadily.

WindmilIs Much Used

The wind is source of power that
has been utilized since the first sail
ing vessel put to sea. Until the re-
cent development of the gasoline en-
CINE and of the oil supply, windmills
were largely used on American farms
for pumping water, and wind-driven
flour mills were familiar features OF
the landscape in some parts Of the
eastern states. Gasoline has largely
replaced the wind in this country but
in South America where gasoline is
expensive the wind still does much
of the farm work, particularly in Ar
gentina and southern Chile. In Ar
gentina windmills are more and more
used for pumping water for the vast
numbers of cattle that are raised in
that country.

Layers of Gases on Sun

The atmosphere of the sun. upon
the heat of which all life upon earth
depends, can only be explored by
wireless messages, DR.. Charles E. st,
John of the Mount Wilson observa
tory, Pasadena, Cal, told members of
the American Philosophical society,
meeting in Philadelphia. The inter
probation of these messages, received
as light, is the task of the astronomer
he said
Doctor st. John took his aud.
on an imaginary journey as far
ward the real surface of the sun as
the astronomers have been able to
penetrate. Warning them to expect
warm climate, he said that after pass
ing through the silvery white corona,
which may extend from the sun for
several hundred thousand miles, they
would find themselves in an unthink-
ably rare atmosphere of ioniZed cal
cium, the metal which is the basis Of
limestone, and then successfully
through layers of the gases of other
elements, hydrogen, helium, magnesi-
UNI, titanum. sodium, calcium and
iron in succession like the layers of
an onion.
Finally, he said, they would reach
the lowest circle so far explored,
where they would find the atmosphere
containing all the elements known to
exist in the sun, the pressure that OF
a partial vacuum, and the tempera-
ture about 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The wind velocities would average
about 1000 miles an hour, Professor
st. John said.

Iceland has prohibited the importa-
ton Of shoes. 1t will return to the
exclusive uses of its own hairy sea
skin footwear. Nearly all dry goods
are barred, meaning return to home

Land Once Held Barren
Helps to Feed World

The total land area of the world is
more than 100000 square miles, Of
which less than 30,0OO,OOO are consid-
cred fertile, and half of the fertile
lands TO be found in tropical and sub
tropical regions. Every new fertilizer
or every new source of known fer
tilizer adds to the Availability of the
temperate zone, and it is a fact that
our mastery of fertilizing agencies is
capable of great commercial develop
ment through lines of management
laid down by applied chemistry, writes
Isaiah Bowman in the New World
second source of arabic land is
found in the swamp lands capable Of
being drained. OF these there are in
the United States 100000 acres, but
two-thirds of this amount is forested
and requires clearing and much of
the rest Is peat bog which requires
specialized farm practice. Qualify
ing conditions of a similar sort affect
the swamp lands of the rest of the
world.
third source of food supply I'M
doubtedly will come from limited
extension of both agriculture and
grazing, but particularly grazing, into
the vast tundras of the sub-Arctic. In
the case of the tundraS, both of ST.
IBERIA and more especially of North
America, we still are suffering from
the inhibitions of the past, when we
looked upon the sub-Arctic as useless
The frozen north has retreated
northward faster than our school
books have been revised. The grassy
tundras of northern Alaska, like those
of the so-called "barren' grounds of
Canada, are capable of supporting mill
lions of reindeer and caribou.
In the southern hemisphere we
have no hahitahle lands from which
man has been excluded by sheer in
ertia of opinion. South Africa, Aus
tralia and Patagonia have been crisis
crossed by the pioneer, and though
their lands are capable of higher de-
velopment. at least we know the lines
along which development will occur
and is even now proceeding; and we
know also that their population in
crease will have relatively low limit
because of the unfavorable climatic
conditions.

Caused by camp fire left smolder-

recent forest fire in the Arapaho Ma
tional forest, Colo, swept $500 acres
of excellent pine timber in three and
one-half hours, according to forestry
officials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
A high wind caused the fire to jump
into the crowns of the trees despite
the fact that officers Of the forest serv-
ice, with a force Of $50 men, began
fighting the blaze almost as soon as

Explaining Radio Waves

The mirages that occasionally de-
Arctic are caused by the rays of light
being sent by different layers Of air,
so that the sky, for example, Is re-
Elected from air near the ground and
looks like lake. Now Professor
Guinchant of Bordeaux, France, has
suggested that radio waves are bent
in the same way and that this &C.
counts for some of the cases Of re-
markably-long-d distance reception that
have puzzled the radio engineers. 1t
Is probable. also, that this bending Of
radio waves in the air may help to
explain the fading" and swinging"
Of radio signals.

FARM BUREAU AUTO TOUR.

About seventy-fve members of the
Hancock County Farm Bureau en-
joyed an auto tour as planned last
Wednesday, visiting places in the
county of especial interest to them.
Early in the forenoon, as the crowd
was gathering, an inspection was
made of the Hancock County Co
operative Creamery in Ellsworth,
one of the monuments of the past
years work of the Farm Bureau.
The farmers, who have personal in
terest in the success of this in
dustry were pleased by what they
saw of the creamery in operation.
The autos, each decorated with a
Hancock County Farm Bureau"
banner then got under way for John
Martins poultry farm in Hancock,
the first scheduled stop. There they
found a real poultry business, which
is paying the owner good returns.
Many remarked at the small 1ocks.
Mr.. Martin culls out and sells hens
as fast as they stop laying. The
cleanliness of roosts and houses was
also noted. Mr.. Martin has selected
at broiler size, to use as breeders.
Chester Strdtton's potato seed plot
was next visited, and proved one of
the most interesting features of the
trip. Mr.. Stratton explained his
method of treating seed, planting,
culling out diseased plants as soon as
they appear, etc.
Milton Arey's poultry, orchard and
small fruit farm was next visited.
Here the party enjoyed a picnic din
ner, with coffee and cream supplied
by Mr.. Arey.
From here the party made run to
North Ellsworth, where the orchard
of H. Fremont Maddocks was first
visited. The inspection here also in
cluded an inspection of Mr.. Mad
docks home, equipped with every
modern convenience and many labor
saving devices. His orchard of l 500
trees, loaded with apples, was a sight
worth seeing.
The last visit Of the day was at
the orchard of Robert Haynes, also in
North Ellsworth. This is also an
orchard of 1900 trees, mostly Nc
Intosh and Spies, but much younger
than that of Mr.. Maddocks. The lat
est addition to this orchard is
block of Red Delicious.
All who participated in the trip
pronounced it big success both
socially and educationally, and it
was the unanimous vote that another
tour should be made next year.
