Life and mind are as sociated with matter only indirectly through the ether, says he, and the ether is primarily man’s habitation, not pseudo “solid matter,’’ earth houses, automoblies and money that we call the real world.- Matter reduced to atoms is only electric particles revolving at fright ful speed around an electric center. The real thing is ether. WE ARE READY To serve you with Horse Feed. Dairy Feed, Chicken Feed and Fresh Ground Corn Meal. We al so buy Grain in exchange for any Feeds that we sell.

That happened 900 years before the birth of Christ. Science tells us the ether is like a great system of water, flowing on for ever, and matter like a fisherman’s net spread across the stream through which the ether flows, that ether is es sential to the cosmic scheme, that Newton’s law of gravitation should not work without it, and that ether is the only solid reality in the realm of ideas. But for the average man it is hard to conceive of ether as a reality. It seems as unreal hs the fourth di mension. Our minds are adjusted to the work we have to do, which isn’t big or very important. How would you like to be the aver age American farmer? His farm is 315 acres. His investment $16,308. His average net return for 1926 was $1,- 133. He could make more than that driv ing a street car, getting regular sleep, not worrying about weather, lame horses, sick cows, rust on w’heat, bugs on potatoes, blight in the orchards, etc. The puzzling question is why is a farmer ? More important to millions of Amer icans, cotton has gone to a new high price for this year, three times on three consecutive days. When cotton, not long ago, sold at half today’s price, this writer said to Mr. Clarence Dillon, ingenius New York financier: “Buy yourself plenty of cotton and you will make a great deal of money.” CLINTON, S.

Edison was three days in New York’s Botanical Gardens library, searching for some new rubber plant. He may find it, but it will probably be chemistry, not botany that will sup ply the new rubber. Elasticity, plus wearing quality are needed. Human intelligence will produce something better than rubber, just as it produced something better than wood, in the bronze and iron ages. Be careful if you meet “latrodectus Mac tains.” Its ordinary name ia the “black widow” and it is the deadliest spider on earth, possessing a bite caus ing death within twenty-four hours. This tiny black spider has recently caused more than a dozen deaths on the Pacific coast. On gereral princi ples, keep spiders and flies out of the house. Let them carry on their ancient war in the open. Dr. Sherman, of Columbia univer sity, shows that man’s “vital years” can be increased by the right diet. Ef ficiency can begin earlier and last longer if men eat enough of the right things. Chemistry applied to diet will soon add ten years to the working pe riod of human life. Real courage is always gentle. Ho mer’s “Mildest Manners and Gentlest Heart” are part of a fearless nature.

The expression on Byrd’s face, pitying and tender, is that of a real hero. Happy the mother and father of such a son. Commander Byrd, always in search of interesting occupation, plans a flight to the South Pole, and before the new year he will be flying through the coldest region on earth. He is de termined to be the first man to fly over both poles. In centuries to come, what we call our North and South Poles will again be warm, and some other spots on the earth will be the poles. Oil wells that Standard Oil Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, whose conversion of sinners proves her inspired, fights as well as she con verts. Her former choir leader, Mr. Nichols, says: “Confess what really happened when you were supposed to be kidnapped.” Mrs. Aimee Semple replies: “I told the truth, walked in the light and you are only looking for advertising, which you need.” There is nothing like courage to take you through. Mrs. Aimee has it. In Washington, Mrs. Fader spanked her three-year-old son, Bruce, because he would climb the White House iron fence. During the spanking her $3,00(T diamond bracelet flew off and was lost. Bruce saw the bracelet in the air but, busy with his spanking, said nothing. Whipping children causes greater loss than that of any bracelet when it destroys the child’s affection and respect for parents. Another American, Lieutenant C. C. Champion, Jr. f of the navy sets anoth er flying mark. He is believed to have broken the world’s altitude record. He fought a temperature of 90 de grees below zero and his plane caught fire.

Business is like a bicycle; it will not stand up unless you keep it going forward. Advertising is the one sure way to keep your ^ business moving. Newspaper advertising has become the highest po tential force for creating and stimulating business; manufacturing, wholesale or retail, and its success in building up vast businesses is recognized by financier, manufacturer and merchant It is “the lineof least resistance” between the firm that wants to do business and the vast army of people to whom they wish to tell their story. The banker who offers investment securities, the producer who has raw material to sell, the manufacturer who has his products to market, and the merchant or retailer who wants to dispose of his merchandise, all, must go to the people, the final purchasers, and tell them their story.
