the statutes.
About the only thing that seemingly
Is definitely by the friends of
the candidates of both parties is that
1t Is necessary before New Years day
to make official declaration of their
intentions to the authorities of the
state. One of the somewhat amusing
features of the case Is that some of
the men who do not understand the
South Dakota law in its entirety are
lawyers who have made q study of 1t
for some years.
Things are not quite as cloudy as
they were four years q in the pri-
mary laws of South Dakota. If they
were, then President Coolidge and
senator johnson would be compelled
to go there In person, or by proxy, to
debate some proposed subject before
the voters assembled in q sort of a
state meeting at Pierre.
-Four years ago Gen. Leonard Wood
was compelled to make d winter trip
TO Pierre, s. D., to debate with Sen
ator Poindexter, who was a minority
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton and who, through some curious
construction of the law was allowed
as memory has it, to appear not only
as his own champion, but as that of
Frank O. Lowden and of Hiram w.
Johnson. Senator Norbeck of South
Dakota tells me that the provision of
the law which requires the presiden-
tial candidates to debate some ques-
ton or other before the voters has
been repealed.
Why This Primary Is Important.
The primary IN South Dakota has a
significance far beyond that which
comes to it from the number of dele
gates which the state sends to the ma
tional convention. 1t is the first state
to hold a presidential primary and
therefore the victor in the case gets
the prestige which comes from a first
success. Every effort, therefore, will
be made by the friends of the Presi-
dent and by the friends of Senator
Johnson to make good in South Da-
kota,
-Four years ago General Wood
clinched his primary victory in South
Dakota by the impression which he
made at the debate at Pierre. The
meeting at the state capital was a
picturesque affair and 1t had a rather
dramatic ending.
Your correspondent was present at
the debating contest between Wood
and Poindexter. The latter Is a
trained parliamentarian and debater.
General Wood knew nothing about
parliamentary nor debating tactics,
but he won the day, or rather the
evening, through a curious misunder-
standing on the part OF Senator Poin-
dexter of the temper and the tempera-
ment of the audience.
The time was divided between the
two contestants. One led off and
talked for fifteen minutes and the 9th
er responded for a like time. Then
there were two ten-minute allotments
to give and take and then each had
five minutes to sum up.

EarthWorms Have a Memory and May Be
Trained to Learn Safety First"


Earthworms were introduced into a passage shaped like a capital
L and carved from a block of wood which was covered with a glass plate
so that the movements of the little creatures might be observed. When
they came to the junction about half of them turned one way and half the
other. Then it was arranged so that those that took the left-hand passage
received a mild, but presumably disagreeabe electric shock. At first the
worms did not know just what to make of all this, but after they had
all been through the experience about 200 times, they nearly all we're con-
verted to Safety first" and took the righthand turn.
When the electrodes were then moved to the righthand passage they
learned to shift to the other after only IS passages, evidently showing
more aptitude.
hrrrF- aes4 - -
systems consist of a series of little gangHons, or nerve centers, on the
underside of the worms and connected with each other by nerve fbers If
the worms were cut in two, the fragments still showed the ability to dis
hngush between the safe and the unpleasant road to travel, showing
that the earthwom remembers in every one of his ganglions, and is
aMe to learn and profit by experience.

For the first time in more than a
century the earth is relatively close
to Mars, one o. the eight planets
that revolves about the sun.
All Of the learning Of the ages has
been brought into use in an effort
to solve the secrets Of the heavens.
All Of the boosted intelligence Of
science and the marvellous instru-
ments that are used in studying the
universe have been utilized.
And what have we learned? Very
little, if anything. At least science
has not found the answer to that
vexing, yet fascinating question whe-
Their there is life on Mars.
Summed up, the astronomers tell
us that Mars diameter is 1920
miles; that the planet is 20 percent
farther from the sun than the earth
that its surface gravity is SO percent
of that on the earth; it r9cates
around the sun in one year, ten and
one-half months and its year" is
divided into seasons such as ours; its
day is about 81 minutes longer than
ours; it has an atmosphere, but this
must be much thinner than the
earth's; and that it very probably has
form Of plant life.
Though man has made progress in
overcoming the elements, an unseen
power withholds from MIN the know
ledge of what actually exists beyond
the earth's confines.
This generation has had its fling
at finding the answer to the Marian
secret and has failed.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. sTRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

With the development of good
roads and the increasing popularity
of the automobile, people every
where are spending more time in
woodland retreats, and it is a matter
Of public education that lessons in
forest preservation should be given
more widespread attention.
Last year 100000 acres of
forest lands in America were burned
with financial loss in excess of
$t6,500,000, according to data com
piled by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters The area of our
destroyed forests during last year
alone was eight times the acreage
of the French forests destroyed or
damaged throughout the World War.
The total number of fires was in
excess of $4,000.
1t is said that between 80 and 90
per cent Of forest fires are caused
by human carelessness About 20
per cent from carelessness in hand
ling cigarette butts, The general
negligence of campers in using
precautionary measures while cook
ing also constitutes one of the
great causes of woodland conflagra-
tons
The forests of America originally
totaIing S22 100000 acres have to-
day dwindlcd to $4,000, 900 acres
of virgin timber. Not only do
forests fires, as reflected in these
statictics, involve a great loss of
human life and property, but this
wanton destruction deprives our wild
life of food and shelter. despons
public Fairgrounds, relinquishes
control of the distribution of mois-
ture and curtails the supply of
chemicals and other by-products of
our woods.
The destruction of American
forests affects each Of us. and each
of Us should assume an educational
responsibility in seeking to prevent
the progress Of these despoiling
forces.
