Canyon Worthily Ranks
as Marvel of Nature

To understand the immensity of
the Grand canyon, it is necessary
to know something Of the Colorado
river, which, incidentally, must be
included among the great rivers Of
North America. 1t is formed in
Southern Utah by the confluence of
the Green and the Grand rivers
1t enters Arizona at the northwest
ern corner and flows southwark to
the Gulf of California. It drains
an area of 100000 square miles.
Only at three points Is it crossed by
a railroad.
The Spaniards were the first
white men to view the great Won
der OF nature. Spanish explorers
first reported seeing it as early as
1910 and In 1776 a Spanish priest
found a crossing that still bears his
name. The first man to make any.
thing like complete survey of the
river and the canyon through which
it flows, was Maj. John Wesley Pow
ell, geologist and school teach
er, a One-armed veteran of the Civil
war. With crew of men and boats.
he traversed the river from its
source to its mouth in 1869.
The Grand canyon has been long
a haven of biologists. It furnishes
them with an ideal setting to study
the earth's strata. And it is no
less haven for tourists.

Many "Black Fridays"
in Financial Circles

"Black Friday" does not refer to
particular date. as often supposed,
but is the name given to several Fri
days on which financial panics have
occurred. Apparently the term was
first applied to the Friday in De-
cember, 1745, when the news was
received in London that Charles Ed
ward Stuart, the Young Pretender,
had reached Derby, only ten days.
march from the capital. A finan-
cial panic resulted Immediately.
''Black Friday" was probably sug-
gested by analogy with Black Mon
day, an old name for the Monday
following Easter. The term "Black
Friday" was revived in England for
May II, 1866, when a panic fol-
lowed the failure Of the London firm
of Overend, Gurney & Co. In the
United States the term is applied
to September "a, 1869, when panic
occurred as the result of Jay Gould's
effort to corner the gold market in
New York, and to September 10,
1873, when a panic followed the
failure Of the banking firm of Jay

Historic Cathedral Bells

In the fourth story of the north
tower Of the famous cathedral Of
Chartres are two fine-toned bells,
cast in 1910, from the tenor of
which the Angelus rings out each
evening. Four further bells-named
Anne, Elizabeth, Fulbert and Plat
occupy the fifth story; these are
dated five years later and one at
least possesses an interesting his
tory. When Anne of Brittany visit
ed the cathedral she was so i'm
pressed by boys voice that she
begged the authorities to release
him to her. which they did. where
upon she said: "You have given
me a small voice and now I will
give you big one" Years ago this
bell was rung for an hour every eve
ming for certain period Of the
year. that there might be abundant
harvest.

Fuel for Smoking Meat

The Department Of Agriculture
says that the best fuel for smoking
meat is green hickory or maple
wood smothered with sawdust Of
the same material. Hard wood Of
any kind is preferable to soft wood.
Resinous woods should not be used,
as they may give bad odor to the
meat. Corncobs are a good substi-
tute for hard wood. Juniper ber-
ries or fragrant woods may be
added to the fire to flavor the meat.
The fire should be kept burning
slowly, keeping the temperature be-
tween 70 and 80 degrees.

Nav Crop Report

The production of winter wheat
Minnesota based on the May 1 con-
dition is indicated to be 100000
bushels less than the 1929 produc-
ton and the rye production is esti-
ated at 100000 bushels less than the
1929 production according to the
report of the Federal Statistician
for the Minnesota Crop Reporting
Service.
The report shows that 8 per cent
of the original winter wheat acre
age of 10000 arces planted last
December has been abandoned leav-
ing 10000 acres for harvest. May
1 condition was reported to be SO
% of normal as compared with
the 1O-year (1919-1928) average con-
dition of 53 per cent. The forecast
production May / was for a pro-
bable crop of 2,550,OO0 bushels, COM
pared with 3,15O,0OO bushels har-
vested in 1929. The major portion
of abandonment was reported to be
in the southeastern part OF the
state.
The May 1 rye condition was re-
ported to be "a per cent of normal
compared with S8 per cent the 10
year (1919-1928) average condition.
The abandonment was 4 per cent
leaving 414,OOO acres for harvest.
Based on the May condition this
would forecast a probable crop OF
6,624,OOO bushels, compared with g.
100000 bushels harvested in 1929
from 100000 arces. Recent rains
particularly in the north central
section of the state-no doubt, have
been beneficial to the rye crop
since this report was made.
The conditions of tame hay
meadows May was reported to be
only 70 per cent of normal. There
has been, according to this report
quite a little winter killing OF
alfalfa and clover in certain dis
tricts in the state. Lack of sufficient
moisture during April was also an
other factor in causing the low con-
dition. It was estimated that 8 per
cent of last years hay crop was
still on farms. The major portion of
these stocks was in the southern
section of the state. Stocks in the
central and northern districts
were reported as very low.
Milk and egg production showed
some increase compared with the
reports one month ago.
The supply of farm labor May 1
was reported as normal but the de-
mand was Is per cent below normal.

Facts About Spon9es

Sponges are very irregular In
form. symmetrical ones being rare,
and their color is as variable as
their shape. Deep-sea sponges, like
other animals that live in the dark,
are generally light in color; but
those that abound in shallow wa
ter are very bright, and the color
assumed by the sponge is generally
for purposes Of defense. or to
frighten away other animals.
Sponges are very abundant in Aus
tralian seas; especially is this the
case with the horny or highest form

Mr.. Stanley was born at Loundes,
Iowa, Oct. 25 1882. He came to Re-
we're Redwood county in 1896 where
he resided until 1922 when he came
to Stearns county locating on a

But little is known of Mr.. Shan

was a man of decidedly retiring dis
position. His neighbors of the
Elrosa country speak very highly
of him as a citizen.
July II, 1911, he was united in
marriage at ST. Charles, Mimi, to
Elizabeth Callahan. To this union
the following children have been
born: James, Mary, Bernard, Irene,

Eiectrons in Atom

Physicists of today state that
there is evidence that all atoms
known have in them a certain def
mite number of negative electrons
and exactly the same number Of
positive electrons. For instance,
the lead atom consists of a positive
nucleus charge of SO units about
which 80 electrons revolve; zinc, a
nucleus charge of 30 units with 80
revolving electrons helium, nu-
cleus charge of units with 2 re-
volving electrons; sulphur. nu-
cleus charge of 16 units with 16
revolving electrons; platinum, Is;
gold, 70; radium, SS, etc.

Floral Barometers

The sturdy marigolds which en-.
nven our gardens are splendid
weather prophets. If the flower
tightens closely in the morning you
may rest assured that there is rain
to come. but with true intuition
they seem overbold in spreading
their petals. The scarlet pimpernel
is also sensitive to rain, and even
an approaching shower will send its
petals curling in. From this pecul-
iarity the pimpernel takes it's name
of the poor mans barometer"
Contrary to these flowers, when the
dandelion closes up its petals in the
morning, a fine day lies ahead, be-
cause it does not like too much
sun.

Butter Still Sagging

Early reports of production indl-
cate a fair increase in butter over
the previous week but still show
some decrease under the same
week last year. The Chicago but
termarket Saturday was barely
steady, with the undertone easy
Supplies were sufficient for the de-
mand and receivers were willing
sellers, but demand was light and
trading was dull. Receipts of but
ter on the New York market were
adequate for market demand, with
the sentiment continuing conserva-
tive. Butter receipts for the week
were slightly ahead of those of the
previous week, despite the fact that
some lots have been delayed in go
ing forward as result of partial
switch from all rail to lake and rail
shipments. In general, demand
has not been sufficient to clear the
available supply.
The Chicago butter market on 80
Score Standards today is "a Rc
3-4 cent lower than last Monday.
The New York market on 90 Score
Extras is 36 cents.
Receipts of eggs on both New
York and Chicago markets contin-
ue extremely heavy with quality
fair to good. Weather conditions
have been favorable for mainte-
nance of quality in principal west
ern producing territory. With con-
tinued heat, speculative operators
who have been holding off awaiting
lower prices have come into the
market, possibly in the belief that
egg quality will run poorer in the
very near future.
Chicago egg market on Fresh
Graded Firsts is % to 221a cents
as compared with % cents a week
ago. The New York market on
Firsts is 241s to "a 3-4 cents.
The weather in New York during
the past week has been unseason-
ably warm, which has curtailed the
demand for live poultry materially,
and the market has been more or
less unsettled the greater part OF
the week. The market on fowl the
early part of the week was firm,
but developed a very unsettled tone
toward the latter part. Supplies
were sufficient for the demand.
Receipts of dressed fowl on the
New York market have been some
what larger this week, but demand
was active and thoroughly equal
to offerings with prices well sus-
tained. Old cocks continue in fair
demand with market offerings, and
market closed steady though prices
averaged slightly lower than the
week previous.
Chicago live poultry market to-
day is quoted as follows: Leghorn
fowl 20 cents, coIored light fowl

There is no wiser or shrewder ami
NAL in the world than the rat and
the mouse is almost as clever. These
animals soon learn to recognize q
trap by sight or odor and will walk
around it. The traps are now made
in camouf1aged form. The trap for
the mouse that runs through your
desk and chews your paper has q
spring that resembles a paper clip.

Is another Of these devices. When

Cause of Hailstorms

The stones which fall during or
binary hailstorms measure from
One-eighth to one-half inch in diam
eter, their size depending upon the
violence Of the upward columns Of
air that produce them. Hail, like
rain, is caused by the vertical cir
culation of the air. Rain is formed
by the condensation of drops Of
moisture in cooling air which grow
larger as the air rises until they
are heavy enough to fall. Each
of the drops rises and falls at
least once. Hail, which IS frozen
rain, is caused by the drops being
tossed higher.
