Star Beams Travelling Since 1893 Fair
VIII Turn On Chicago Exposition Lights
April Skies To See Arc

Dipper

URBANA, ILL.,, March 81
Arcturus, the star of the Chicago
Worlds and the star whose
light will help to open it-rises
almost directly in the east at
nightfall on April /.
Later in the evening it will be
higher above the horizon and
therefore easier to identify. To
find this brilliant reddish star
follow the curve of the handle of
the Great Dipper downward and
around to the right.
On the evening of June the
light of Arcturus focused by tele-
scopes at four observatories in
different parts of the country on
photo-electric cells will provide
the electrical impulse required to
turn on the light of the Chicago
fair.
Forty years ago, while another
fair was in progress m Chicago,
this light that will arrive on June
l started toward US from Arc
turus. Since that time it has been
speeding earthward as fast as
IL ,000,0 900 miles a minute. Just
now it is less than million mil
lion miles away.
Arcturus is the brightest star
of the constellation Bootes.
Here we can see striking

constellation it resembles a knite,
or perhaps the outline of South
America with Arcturus in the
position of Cape Horn. This kite
figure rises on its side.
There are other interesting
sights to be seen in the evening
skies of the early spring. Most
conspicuous of all are the two
planets Mars and Jupiter, which

King, in specific accordance to His
warning, not one stone was left up
on another in the sacred Temple,
at the terrible destruction of the
Holy City by Titus 40 years later.
The very fallen stones themselves
cried out as a witness to His pro-
phetic and kingly power:
And in our day, when the sharp
critical tongue of the unbelieving
critics had all but silenced the tes-
ti,nony of the followers of Christ,
the archaeologists began to be able
to read the inscriptions upon the
ancient monuments and stones, and
once again the very stones cried

THE STONES CRY OUT

out that Jesus is King and Lord to
the utter CONSERVATION of the
critics. Even the very tombstoneS
in the city of the dead cry out
constantly that Jesus is King, also
of death and the unseen world, and
that those who believe in Him will
come forth from the silent grave to
live again forever.
Jesus Christ is King. All crea-
ton affirms it. All human expert
ence knows it. Jesus the King
must be praised and acclaimed. If
you and I will not do it, then must
the very stones cry out. For Jesus
must be acclaimed King of Kings
and Lord of Lords.

COTTON CROP
AID OFFERED

According to an announcement
made to Robert Hays, manager of
the El Centre Chamber of Com
merce, by w. j. Hartman. of the
Imperial Feed Mills in Calexico,
selected farmers Of Imperial Val
ley will be able to obtain financing
of cotton crops if they desire again
to go into the production of cot
ton.
For a number of years, accord
ing to Hays, cotton was one of
Imperial Valleys major products,
and there was one period when
100000 acres of Imperial land were
devoted to this crop. There has
been gradual change to other
crops but Hays believes many
farmers are ready to switch back
to cotton since grain of all kind
has dropped so low and in view
of the fact there is still a large
surplus of all grain.
The plan described by Hartman
would involve the securing by the
individual of a comparatively small
amount of acreage, not exceeding
80 acres, which could be cared for by
individual, With the exception of
chopping and picking. The land
would be intensively cultivated so
as to produce high yield.
In times gone by, Hays points
ntYf anftnn hnc haat, 40
despised in Imperial Valley, but
with more modern cultural methods
and smaller acreage it is believed
by many that it could be profitably
grown here, at least more profit
ably than many other crops. Cot
ton offers the advantage to the
community of being almost entire
iy product of labor and the I'm
perial Valley payroll would be very
greatly increased by the cultiva-
tion of this crop. In addition,
Hays states, there are many thou
sands of acres of land in the coun-
ty suitable only for cotton and
grain and, with grain at existing
low prices, cotton offers perhaps
more opportunity for profitable
farming.
Hartman states that the money
placed in Imperial Valley to finance
cotton growing would be govern
ment money at a moderate rate of
interest. Gins would be established
where necessary and seed would be
brought in to re-establish the cot
ton industry. A concentrated eff
fort would be made, it was stated
at chamber of commerce head
quarters by Hartman, to make
cotton growing success with more
modern methods.
