Farce SAYS Lewis

WHETHER inspired by these
wv events, or because he thought
so all along, James Hamilton Lewis,
Democratic senator elect from Ili-
nois, rises to describe the debt holi-
day scheme as farce" and to
advise his party colleagues that if
they want to get anywhere in 1882,
they would better pick out some
issue besides the tariff.
Whether you agree with Mr.. Lewis
about the tariff, there are other
issues which ought to be discussed,
and some of them are much closer
home than any custom house, or
foreign market.

SCIENCE
by DAME DIETZ

Man Is as Many Times Biggef
Than the Electron as the
Biggest Star Is Larger
Than Man.
1.-TWO things about modern SCI
\ el1ce fascinate me" writes a.
correspondent. They are the inn
mense distances Of astronomy and
the infnitesimal sizes of atoms and
electrons.
You have mentioned both from
time to time. Won't you give a sort
OF table of statistics which could be
clipped out and saved for refer
ence?"
My correspondent has touched
upon one of the most interesting
phases of modern science. Perhaps
the most fascinating of all is the.
fact that the gigantic stars and
nebulae, huge as they are, are built
up out of tiny electrons.
another TACT OF great interest is
that man stands midway in the
scale of the universe. He Is Just.
about as many times larger than.
the electron as the biggest star is
larger than he is.
But to answer the question of my
correspondent. First a few figures
that every one ought to know, since
without them he lacks any appre-
citation Of the scale Of the universe
In which he lives:
The diameter Of the earth of APP
proximately 5000 miles.
The diameter of the moon is ap-.
proximately one-fourth of the.
earth'S, about 2,160 miles.
The diameter of the sun is ap-
proximately 10 times that of the
earth, about 864,1O0 miles.
From the earth to the moon Isl
100000 miles. From the earth to
the sun is 100000 miles. From
the earth to the nearest star Is u.s.
600, COO, 100000 miles.

Coal Market Sour

VERY one is trying to solve the
l. coal problem without recogniz-
ing the one essential fact that some
new place must be found for thou
sands of miners and millions of
capital.
The coal market has. just gone
sour. No wage agreement, or new
scheme of operation can restore it.
not so long as crude oil sells for
20 cents a barrel, or natural gas for
S cents a thousand cubic feet at

Is there a species of fish called
drum fish? How did the name orig
mate?
Drum or drurnfish, so-called from
the drumming sound, are any Of
several fishes of the family sctiae-
nidae. Most of the species make a
noise under water variously called
croaking, drumming, snoring and
grunting, but which most resembles
the roll of a muffIed drum, which
is commonly thought to- be pro-
duced by the transfer of air to diff
ferent compartments of the air

attribute it to the rubbing together

Peoples Voice

Editor Tilnes--I would show Sher-
man Long that F'Lucifer'' does not
exist, therefore, this economic crisis
is not of his making. Webster de-
fines Lucifer as 'the brilliant, am
bilious angel" The Lutheran Bible
and the revised version do not con-
tain the word "Lucifer." A careful
reading of Isaiah Is: 4, 16 will dis
close that the prophet was speaking
to the king and applied this name
''Lucifer'' to the king. The early
church fathers we're mistaken in
this matter. The origin of Lucifer
or Satan can not be proven. The
ologians would have it that he
tempted Adam and Eve. The Bible
says it was serpent, the most
subtle of all Of the beasts of the
field" ION the sixth day God saw
everything he had made and behold,
it was very good" Too much patriot
ism has been taught among the
nations Of the earth and not the
real religion of Jesus, "the brother
hood of all men," When the vari-
GUS nationalities come to America
and work side by side in our fac
tories they become acquainted and
are no longer enemies bounded by
the borders of the countries of
Europe. The gospel of Jesus was a
social one. There is not a word in
the Lords Prayer asking to be
taken to heaven or saved from hell.
The Jews understood that the
righteous reign of Jehovah was
meant when Jesus spoke of "the
Kingdom of God" Today we call
it a just social order. 1t is for men
to seek for it and establish it.

DECADE-49 COUNTIES
SHOW GAINS

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 2S-Final pop.
ulation figures for South Dakota
show that 692,S49 persons resided
in the state on April 1, 1880. This
is an increase of 56,302, or 8.S per
cent, as compared with the pOpu.
lation on January l, 1920.
At the census of 1890, it's first
enumeration as a state, the popu.
lation of South Dakota was 34S,.
600, the bulletin reported. During
the next 10 years the population
increased to 401, $50. In 1910 there
were 5S3,SS3 inhabitants, which
represented a gain of 1888, or
45.4 per cent, over the enumer-
alton of 1900. Although this high
rate of increase declined sharply
during the last two decades, the
state has maintained a consistent
population growth.
The total land area of South
Dakota is 76,S68 square miles, and
the average number of inhabitants
per square mile in 1880 was 80
as compared with S.3 in 1920.
OF the six cities in South Da-
kota which had a population of
10000 or more in 1880, Sioux Falls
is the largest, with 1882, a gain

CLUB WORK GROWS
ALL OVER STATE

One of the gratifying results Of
this past years club work in Mon
tana was the increased enrolment
which came largely from new
club in entirely new territory,
says Chas. E. Potter, state club
leader. Last year there were 400
clubs and this year the number
jumped to 558 for the state.
In 1929 there were 2,74S girls
enrolled in club work and 1856
boys. In the past year 1851 girls
and 1884 boys enrolled. OF this
number 84.S percent of the boys
were certified as completing and
So 6 per cent of the girls finished.
This is an unusual record for a
state, according to Mr.. Potter.
The increase in enrolment com
ing as it did in a year of adverse
conditions, gives some indication
or the hold that club work is gain
ing in the state. New club terri
tory is being added each year as
boys and girls as we'll as parents
become acquainted with the All
club activities.
