The SUMS corona is composed OF ma
teriul particles elected with small We
IocIty from the sun and afterward con
trolled by the movements OF that orb.
This, in brief is the theory OF Prof.
John Miller Of Swarthmore college,
professor OF astronomy and director
OF the Sproul observatory. A compar-
lson Of Photographic plates taken dur
ing the eclipse OF Old Sol last Scptem-
her is said to support this Idea. How
ever, the corona is only one or the
many mysteries connected with this
source OF life, light, heat and health.
There is much speculation but no con
crete evidence TO determine the Ques-
ton one way or another.

WAR RECORD WORKS
AGAINST LA TOILETTE

Few states present as interesting
mix-up in a political way as the state
Of Washington. It's a situation full of
possibilities between now and election
for things are being done there which
are much different from what one
encounters in other states.
Ex-service men. numbering about
80 600 in the state, are being organ
lied for a statewide drive against
LaFollette and Wheeler on account of
their war records. 1t is safe to say
that there has never been a political
organization OF such proportions on
the Western coast before.
The organization is unique in that
It is not especially for either of the
other candidates. its object being
against LaFollette. While most of
the men are going to vote for
Coolidge, those who do not want to
support him are urged TO vote for
Davis. LaFollette is upbraided as a
roGerman. Wheeler is condemned
because, as United States attorney in
Montana, he refused TO prosecute Ger.
tain members OF the l. w w. who in
war time defied the draft law
The fight against IaFollette in that
section has more in II. however. than
the memory OF anti-war activity. The
growth Of radicalism in that region Is
recognized as something that the con.
| servatives must counteract The Ia
/ Toilette movement is drawing from
both Republican and Democratic
camps but mostly from the latter.
In order TO keep down the LaFol
lette vote the conservatives are hop,
ing the Democrats can be urged to
vote for Davis. Every vote recovered
for him is counted as one lost to La.
[ Toilette. II the Democrats can be
held in line for Davis. Coolidge will
carry the state but II LaFollette takes
the Democratic party and a fair share
OF the Republican vote he will carry
the state.
/ There are signs that the state Is not
as radically inclined as two years ago
A recent election for supreme court
judges resulted in defeat for radical
ism. Improvement in agricultural
conditions has swept aside some Of
the protest vote.
II LaFollette seems to have an even
chance OF carrying the state but by
election day the work of ex-servict
men and the Republican orCani
ration will probably make It n differ
ent story. but il will be close. About
10000 plurality for Coolidge is the
best that is hoped for.

Speed is the cause OF almost all
traffic accidents, to those who are
speeding and 10 others. The desire
to hit 1t up" to high pace seizes
upon many motorists when they get
out upon the road, and they dash
ahead regardless Of others and with
out reference even TO their own Sc
curlty. These are the chief contribu-
tors to the casualty records Unfortu-
ustely, those who are directly respon-
slbIe for high speeds are not the only
victims. They sacrifice their passen-
gers, and In many cases other road
users who are themselves careful.
We're It not for this fact they could
be left TO their devices 10 meet their
own punishment.

MRS. c. A. FOWLER
CALLED TO REST

Late last Thursday came the angel
of death to the C. A. Fowler home
bearing away the life Of the wife and
mother of the home. Many friends
mourn with her relatives the passing
on Of this splendid woman.
Grace Mays was born in Crawford
county. Pennsylvania, April 27, 1876.
When she was still small girl she
moved with her family to Kansas
where the family resided until 1880.
They were western spirits, however,
and came to Greeley in that year
moving to Delta two years later. Here
the daughter was united in marriage
to c. A. Fowler on August 81, 1904,
and here she has ever since made her
home.
To the Fowlers were born two
children, one of whom passed away in
infancy, the other, Eugene, surviving
his mother with his father.
Besides husband and son, Mrs. Fowl

it is encouraging to notice the ad-

streets and of the two upper blocks

preliminary rolling of the street has

sewer on all but one block of the

If there be mute, inglorious Millions
aplenty in the world, there are many
more heroes going about unsupported
and undiscovered until occasion calls
upon them to act and display their
courage and resource, says a writer in
the Philadelphia Bulletin Probably
most Of the undisclosed heroes Of
everyday life are quite as unconscious
as their associates Of their own capac-
ity for gullantry and self-sacrlfice IN
I'll time and opportunity summon them
10 the heroic role. II It be safer to
wait until a man is dead before say
ing he has known only happiness in
life, It IS Just as prudent not to Judge
others by their ways under ordinary cir
cumstances. It is the glory Of the race
that It can rise to splendid heights
upon demand. Many an Insignificant
looking person Is a hero disguised by
appearance. Give scorn TO no man be
cause be looks like a shrimp and is
modestly self-effacing. Tomorrow you
may read that the shrimp" died that

FILLING UP THE MAPS

The projected Arctic cruise Of the
Shenandoah was expected to traverse
what is described as the largest single
area Of the earth's surface still unex-
plored and quite unknown. Doubtless
that description is true. We do not
know whether the vast region lying
north of BerIng strait is land or sea, or
If the former, whether It contains one
large island or clustered group. 1t
will be worth while to find out, and
thus fill up the biggest blank space on
the map of the world, says the New
York TrIbune-Herald. But there are
other blank spaces of Importance, or
those uncertainty filed up, as a re-
turning traveller from Australia re-
minds US. He processes to have ira
versed the heart Of that island-conti-
nent and to have found 1t by no means
the sterile, unlnhabltable desert which
some have declared II to be, but, on
the contrary, rich. fertile land, need
ing nothing but irrigation, the means
for which are available 1t will not be
surprising If his account proves to be
correct nor should we be inclined to
scof at Australians for not having
earlier ascertalned the character OF
their inland regions. Some of US can
remember school Biographies which
covered much of the southwestern
part Of the United States with the
Great American Desert" almost as
