Not to be outdone by the other
members of our solar family, old
Mother Earth IL to do some eclipsing
herself this afternoon, when she will
sail between the sun and the moon,
and give our lunar satellite a dose OF
Its own medicine.
Two weeks ago Luna paid one OF
its periodical visits to the sun and a.
a result part of this earth was plunged
in total darkness for a brief period
and considerable more of it was
treated to dusk by daylight. Now the
tables are to be exactly turned.
Eclipse This Aftexmoon.
At 1:40 o'clock this afternoon. the
United States Naval Bureau esti-
mates Mother Earth will begin to
pass between the sun and the moon,
slowly effacing Sol to any stray Pc
destrians on the moon until 4.42
O'Clock, when the eclipse will be-
come complete. Then the shadow of
this planet will begin to depart and
completely remove itself by 1852
o'clock.
To possible inhabitants Of Luna
science confidently believes there are
none-our eclipse of the sun will be
just as important as the moons was
to us two weeks ago. Tn. same
beauteous corona that made this part
of the world gasp with wonder will
become visible to them, and they will
witness exactly the same phenom-
enon we did.
1t will simply be case OF Mother
Earth keeping up with the Jeneses,
but there will be some interesting
things to note here, too. First, 1t may
be remembered that the moon was
not exactly On time. Scientists will
watch with interest to see II the
earth is more punctnal arriving at Its
trysting place.
Then, too, the eclipse will be in
terestiEg to the layman because IL
will be the first lunar eclipse he has
been able to witness for some time
hereabouts. Scientists at the Naval
Observatory have figured that II will
be twilight here at 6:15 o'clock, when
the moon will leave the total shadow
cone.
It is believed that IL will be possi-
BILE at that time for Washington to
see a portion of the earth's shadow
darkening a portion of the moon. The
moon will rise about $3.50 o'clock.

is seriously handicapping the formal
inquiry inaugurated by the states
attorney. This official has already
protested against both inquisitorial
bodies on the ground that the injec-
ton of politics into the current in
vestigations threatens to nullify sub
sequent official action.
The states attorney also is said
to be trying to coax back to Germany
two sleek imitation flnanciers who
are believed to be enjoying them
selves in Holland and Paris. These
men are charged with having gath
cred in a dozen million gold marks
through dubious banking operations
in which they are said to have been
ably assisted by documents bearing
official rubber stamps and illegibie
signatures. The rubber stamps ap-
pear to have given them an open
sesame to comfortable fortunes.
With reference to the statement
of Vorwaerts and the Tageblatt that
the government had paid roughly
1000, 900, 900 gold marks to the Ruhr
industrialists from state resources, 1t

In prOclaiming American Forest
Week, / desire to bring to the at
tentiOn Of all our people the dan
ger that comes from the neglect
of our forests.
For several years the Nation
has observed Forest Protection
Week. 1t is fitting that this OBJ
servance be enlarged. We have
too freely spent the rich and mani
fest gift that nature bestowed on
us. In III eagerness to use that
gift we have stripped our forests;
we have permitted fires to lay
waste and devOur them; we have
all too often destroyed the young
growth and the seed from which
new forests might spring. And
though we already feel the first
grip of timber shortage, we have
barely begun to save and restore.
We have passed the pioneer
stage and are no longer excusable
for continuing this unwise dissi-
patton Of a great resource. To the
Nation it means the lack of an
elemental necessity and the waste
of keeping idle or only partly pro-
ductive nearly One-fOUrth of our
soil. To our fOrest-using indus
tries il means unstable invest
ments, the depletion Of forest
capital, the disbanding Of esta5-
lished enterprises, and the decline
Of one of our most important in
dustrial groups.
Our forests ought to be put to
work and kept at work. / do not
minimize the obstacles that have
to be met, nor the difficulty Of
changing old ideas and practices.
We must all put our hands to this
common task. It is not enough
that the Federal, State and local
governments take the lead. There
must be a change in our national
attitude. Our Industries, our land
owners, cur farmers, all cur citi.

ON CORN CULTURE.

"Big Scale Corn Raising in Mon
tana," the new bulletin by H. E.
Selby Of the farm management
department of the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station is being dis
tributed by the Experiment Sta
ton at Bozeman. The bulletin deals
the latest development in corn raising
in Montana-the establishment of a
slender stemmed, low growing, quick
maturing ccrn which can be planted,
cultivated and grown on a large scale
and which will serve as a pasture
crop, forage crop, soiling crop, fodder
crop, silage crop or feed crop.
1t appears from the bulletin that
Montana farmers have developed at
least the forerunner of the type eff
corn necessary for the conditions men
toned and that there is a decided
movement toward corn production IN
a big scale in the state. Acreages Of
$50 to 200 acres are common and 500
acre corn fields are not unknown IN
