routed bv the boll weevil. Already
t hci'i; arc many such buzzards hovering
over the land. One of the reasons
why money is now s<> tight is the fact;
that certain men who 1 av<> necunuil it-1
ed money or who have inherited it 01
stolen it are holding it with a view to
making a killing when the boll weevil
..finished his inning. Eight per cent no
longer holds any attraction to tin m.
They expect to buy thousand dollar]
farms at three hundred dollars and
ten thousand dollar farms at two!
thousand. Heady for the final pieki ig,|
they patiently await the day whenl
the picking will be good. They are]
the buzzards of the commercial world.]
In Texas and Oklahoma the carcass
has already been picked ? the land
hog has gotten in his inning. In this]
state he is beginning now to function.!
He will soon come into his own here.
Thousands of dollars now lie idle in
the banks of the country or are there
drawing percentage, and awaiting the!
day when the great stroke can be
made. It is a sad fact, but true, nov-i
ertlu less. Hut here is one side of the

them. They will find that even thej
law will fail them. This happened in
France, in Russia, and is beginning)
to transpire in Kngland. The difiVrence
here and in the countries named j
above lies in the fact that the day ofi
slaughter will come sooner. It is jus;
as impossible to enslave the mass of
mankind when that mass is climbing
into knowledge as it is to dam the
waves of the ocean. Rich men some )
tiim s flatter themselves that they are!
{riving the masses education. This is1
not true: th. mass is demanding education
and taking it. It never has
transpired in the history of the world
that a reigning class has opened the
gates to a lower class. The only way
th,, under dog gets on top Is by break-j
ing into a socalled higher class. In j
this country wo have no aristocracy,
hut wo have a plutocracy. The plutocracy
has not been behaving very
well?at least certain large numbers
of them have not. They have flaunted)
their wealth in the face of poverty.
They have lived wantonly and sinfully;
they have often bribo<T court .

In the long run of the yearreason

When reason functions the groat sub

for the great mass to pass taxation

Kven where the many have* never been

Astronomers Studying Mars
Flagstaff, Ariz., July 14.?Mem- f
Iters of the stuff of Ixnvell Observa- <
lory here are elated over recent \
studies of the planet Mars which, i
they assert, hear out the theories of r
the late IVrcival Ixiwell, founder of
the observatory, as to snowfall and i
vegetation on the little red planet. I
Mars, nearest neighbor of this world !}
with the exception of Venus, is closer I
to tin* earth now than at any time ir. >
IS years. Observations have been in >
progress for the past live months 1
eaeh hour of every night that weath- n
er conditions would permit. Hundreds
of pbotographs and charts have
been made. I
The seasons on Mars have the I
same significence as on our earth and t
occur in the same manner, but are c
about twice the length of our own, i
according to Doctors E. C. and V. f
M. Slipher of the observatory statf. 1
A statement by them on the results of
the latest observations here follows: ?
"Winter has been occurring in the
southern hemisphere of tiv planet
Mfll'S nmi tho iivhineitfu O "
there are now faint and have been so j
for some* time, betokening the dead j,
season of vegetation in conformity j
with the view helil by Ijowell regard 0
ing the seasonal changes of the plan- ?
et.
'The large winter cap of white j
about the south pole of Mars, which j (
for some months has appeared to <j
consist of only mist or cloud covering
the south polar regions of the j
planet down to latitude forty degrees,
is now dissipating and disclos- t|
ing a mantle of snow beneath. The
spring season for the southern hemisphere
is now approaching, the season
there at present corresponding to t]
our March 21, anil these changes are
characteristic of late winter over the
south of Mars. j
"In the northern hemisphere au- .1
I I1
tunin is arriving and the polar cap L,
there has already become eonspieu-1
mis, having increased rapidly during |(
the last few .Martian nights. On the j t
night of dune 17 it was observed I
that when the planets longitude 26f?! jf
came into Martian sunrise, and there-! j(
fore visible to us, that a vast area ^
there had during the preceding night
been covered by a bright canopy. ! . ]
This bright hood faded off toward the j ((
equator but was discernable down
nearly lifi v decrees north latitude I .
nn?l veiled the ?! -i<? ? markings of,
the northern part of t!. planet. This' s|
event marked the firs' .cally big au- j |(,
tumn storm in the northern hemi- ^
sphere of Mars so fai this year. On
that date the Martian s a on corres-1 j
ponded to our September Id. Early J(1
indications of autumn made their ap- ,
pearanee a month and a half ago at a
Martian season corresponding to our
late August. These observations and ti
< hanges have been recorded on pho- e<
tographs. tl
"These conditions and changes oc- u
curring in unison with the planet's a
seasons indicate that conditions are d
more analogous to those of the earth di
lb.ill to any of the other planets." it

F. S. Agricultural
Dep't Does Much Work
Washington, July 14.?Uncle Sam's
tepartment of Agriculture does work
f many interesting sorts, its ramifiutions
extend in divers directions, not
olely included under the subject of
griculture, and one of the most helpul
of these is aiding in the si'bjugaion
of the still high cost of clothing.
I recent publication of the departnent
declares that the business girl
irith a reasonable amount of zfeal and
alent, can use part of her spare time
o such effect that she can cot in hali
ier clothes bill.
In the first place, says the circular,
t must be granted that the Important
vay to reduce costs is to elinvnato as
ar as possible the items of labor and
listrihution. In other words, the bus
ness girl should make her own cloth
ng, otherwiso, unless she's n wizaid
it nosing out bargains, she stands lit
lc chance of reducing her clothing
judget.
The business girl may claim, says
Lrnele Sam, that she has not the time
>r energy left after a strenuous day #
vork; but a skilled sewer who enjoys
icwing as an interesting and profit fide
change of occupation can always
ind time and energy. In this conr.ocion,
the department cites the ea; e of
* girl in a government department,
vho, with the aid of the circulars and
'xtension work of the Agriculture De artment,
was very successful in
ceeping her wardrobe supplied at
omparatively low cost, one-half in
act what the same clothing would
lave cost ready-made.
To begin with, she got a department
ircular telling how-to make a dress
"orm by pasting layers of gummed
iund!e wrapping paper over a tightlv
itting vest on herself as a model.
rVhen the paper casing was cut off and
"astened together, she had a lighc,
;titf and perfect repioduction of her
orm. So it was not necessary to pur hase
a store figure.
The girl reported that her latest
vardrobe cost her $108 for clothing
conservatively estimated to be worth
P210 at store prices. With the aid of
ler paper form she made, for $24.65 a
;an broadcloth winter coat with good
ining, such as she saw priced at $50
n ine snops. A Diue voile dress with
i slip, cost, including trimming
'11.09. A tissue gingham dress, with
rgandie for trimming and also hemditching,
cost $<>.33; with scraps and
i remnant she made another gingham
lress for exactly 45 cents.
For $10 she bought materials to
nake a pussy willow taffeta and georgette
crepe dress for social occasions,
vhieh, she said, she could not dupliato
in quality at a store for less than
>35. Her business dress of serge and
repe de chine would have been priced
it $40 or more if made of the good
abrics she bought for $18.39. Her
vening dress, also, of taffet and silver
lace, cost oniy $21, although it was
nodelled after one seen at a shop at a
nueh higher price.
This wardrobe, augmented by two
Iresses for which materials were
lougght, brought the total up to
108.34, is not elaborate, though sufcient
for the needs of the wearer, is
lot elaborate, though sufficient for the
le.eds of the wearer, it was said, and
laving a variety of clothing she was
ible to attend many social functions
he otherwise would not have.
Without the dress form, the girl reported,
it was doubtful If she could
lave duplicated her achievements in
hf? time at Ker disposal; but she not
>ii 1 y had time left over for other activties
but also to make ten such forms
or other girls and to hold classes to
each many others.
ndustrial Development
Of Palestine
Jerusalem, July 13.?The industrial
levelopment of Palestin undbr the
ews is moving forward in leaps and
mitwlst. ;in<l thiu in entta r.f
ratio quarrels that have sprung up
f late between employer and emloyee.
During the past year no less than
,000 licenses were issued for new
rades and industries in Palestine,
he extent of this development can be
udged from the fact that prior to
021 only 2,500 licenses were registred
by the government. This means
hat nearly two-thirds of the enterrises
in Palestine were started withi
the last year.
The capital invested in each of
hese new ventures ranges from $20,00
to $50,000, but with such notable
xceptions as the Silicate company of
aflfa, with a capital of $500,000, and
he Standard Oil Company, now exloiting
the Dead Sea liasin.
A tract of 500 acres of land has
con bought by British Jewish inM-ests
and will he devoted to home
nd factory building, while American
lie rests are starting a building and
>un association and a savings bank,
i casino, two bathing establishments
nd electric lights are among the atractions
of an "American" seaside
L-sort which has sprung up on the
finds stretching to the North of
nffa.
In reality this is is a Jewish townhiip
and its local name is Tel Aviv,
ut to a visitor it appears a go-ahead
merican town with a spirit that ovrcomes
all obstacles. It has more
ian 12,000 inhabitants and an imlensc
brick factory working night
nd day.
In the preparation of the foundaons
for a large building at the water
:lge of the Thames, the last areh of
ie ancient London bridge has been
ncovered and it is being viewed with
great deal of interest. It will noon
isappear. The action of the water
uring all these years has been to c.it
out in smooth cup-like pockets.

Women Question
Office Seekers
Om^s, Neb. Jfcly 12.?(By the Associated
Press).?The League of Wo- *
men Voters has ^taken direct measures
to ascertain the stand of senatorial
and state office seekers for the
information oi its members at the
statewide primary election in Nebraska
July 18.
A comprehensive questionnaire has
been, prepared and submitted to all
candidates asking their views on national,
international and state affairs.
The questions to republican, democratic
and progressive party senatorial
candidates include:
"Do you favor a reduction of our
army and navy?"
"Should our country participate in
world affairs^ As a part of the
vorld or apart from it?"
"What should be the attitude of the
United States toward: a. Mexico; b.
Haiti; c. "Russia; d. China?"
"Should our government collect the
foreign debts of its citizens by force
or otherwise, or should American investors
in foreign property be subject
to the laws sinH rislra nf fVio
country in which the investment is
made?"
"What is your interpretation of
freedom of speech and the press as
guaranteed by the federal constitution
?"
"Will you support the present, federal
laws for the enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment, with no weakening
of the Volstead act, if you are
elected ?"
"Do you favor a referendum to the
people for a declaration of war, except
in case of invasion? Or do you
favor declaration of war by a bare
majority of congress, or by a two:birds
majority?"
"If elected, will you vote in favor
of independent citizenship for married
women?"
"Are you in favor of abolishing the
primary system, and returning to the
convention system of nominating
candidates ?"
A lengthier list of questions was
submitted to candidates for state offices,
dealing mostly with state affairs.
With a large number of candidates
with a third active party in the campaign,
and with pronounced interteroet
in the election by both women's
league and independent women
voters, the feminine vote has
received close attention from campaigners.
