diverted, it will not be long until
most Of the valuable farm lands will
be bought up, dried up and the water
used farther down the valley. The
county, city Of Salida and Lake coun-
ty are all interested in the question,
and the Lions Club appointed County
Attorney Thos. A. Nevens as chairman
Of committee to see what can be
done to protect the rights of this
county and secure the cooperation Of
all concerned in the defense Of the

Science

Laplace. the great astronomer, de-
velOped the theory of the nebular
hypothesis to answer the problem Of
how the solar system happened to
be in existence. The neBular hypo--
thesis, however, has been failing
rapidly of late years and has now
been destroyed by a mathematical
process known as the angular mo-
mentum.
According to the latest theory, the
solar system was born by chance. A
passing star Travelled close to the
sun. The tides in the mass of the
sun rose higher and higher as the in
truder came nearer. Part of the
suns substance flowed out from the
regions of high tide, as the attrac-
ton Of the star became strong
enough. and formed streams of gas
eous material. Finally, as the star
receded, this elected matter was left
moving around near the sun. Event
ually it circulated about the sun
and became a newly born planet.
This theory has been worked out in
detail by Jeffreys and Jean. English
mathematician

Nature

The little gray bug known as SOW.
bug, or rill-bug, to be found in
greenhouses, under boards, or in
damp places in or near houses, is not
an insect at all. 1t belongs to the
same family as do Holsters, crabs or
other shellfish, and breathes by
means of gills. They are not par
ticuiarly harmful, although they do
often eat growth of violets or other
low growing plants under which
they hide. Nighttime finds them
full of pep and they may be seen
scampering in numbers about the
damp places they lnhabit.

Why would they Ike to vote the
Democratic ticket? Because they
think it has chance 10 win. But
if its victory promises merely a
change from a Republican Coolidge
to a Democratic one, they will not
vote for the Democratic Coolidge, no
matter what platform he runs on.
Why Not Vote G. O. P?
If we are going TO have a Cool

Republican ticket?
Why change CCoidges?
Even an extreme progressive
would do better to vote for Cautious
Cal than for any Of his prototypes
who are held in reserve by the big

break comes in the New York con-

He is devoted heart and soul to tho

President for the next four years, he
should be chosen as the man.

And if the Democratic party norni-
mates a reacuonary this year, as now
looks probable, that party deserves
punishment 1t will have stood in
the way of what this country needs,
which is two major parties. one real

Hundreds of thousands of progress
