Ninety in the shade in September may not be unheard of but we bet the past week has all previous records broken for keeping it up. And nbw we start the autumn season with every thing fine except the weather which is about as far off now as it usually is on the first day of spring. Stock exchanges over in England have closed and it might be a doggoned good thing if they would shut up shop here temporarily, giving the industries a chance to do something else. Earthquakes do not come to this part of the country often but perhaps we had a little shaking up I coming. We have had plenty of wind and rain and war and a lot of other things but since that didn't make us stop and think seriously, a few quakes may do so. One of the remarkable things about the fair held here last week the splendid order. With thousands of visitors here every day and night there was practically no drinking, fighting or carousing. ' Judge Kister in discussing the fair —and by the way he has nothing but praise for the big show —said it was the most orderly crowd of its size he had ever watched. Thats a fine compliment for the community, her officials and those in charge of the fair. Great Britain is in trouble, serious ones. For a long time, almost the entire fourteen years since the war, that nation has been fighting her problems of unemployment and every thing that goes with a first ciass depression. Now it has reached the point where the gold standard is suspended and the most drastic actions are being taken to save the value of the pound qterling The dole system has just about finished that once rich and powerful country. Dairy Day will be here Wednesday, October 14th. Lets make it a real event. It is being sponsored by the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., one of the best concerns in the middle west. The manager, W. A. Klepper and his assistants will do every thing in their power to make

the day an outstanding one that will prove beneficial to every one here and that kind of a spirit in this age when most folks are crabbing and finding fault, deserves encouragement. President Hoover now realizes that the government cannot carry additional burdens of expehditures without grave risk and he rushed to Detroit to call on the Legion to help him prevent congress from going wild on appropriations which was a polite way to tell the boys to lay off the bonus proposition. The boys who make up the great army of the Legion are good fellows and will do that but it should be remembered that they are not responsible for the difficulties the government is having these days. Though indications are that the fair association will come out loser, every premium will be paid. In fact most of the checks have already been turned over to the winners and the boys are smiling. It was a great fair, especially as to exhibits, free attractions and crowds and is admitted to have been one of the best ever held in this section and thats something. If the fair is to continue it should have the whole hearted support of the merchants and citizens and properly handled could be made a real affair for every one. Information from headquarters indicate a payment soon on the balances due farmers for last years beet crop and while the thirty per cent will probably not be paid in full, any part thereof will be most acceptable. It is said that the plants at St. Louis and Blissfield. Michigan, which are being operated this year by men from those localities on a 50-50 plan will show a good profit and will pay profits to the farmers, which should be of interest here. The Decatur plant is one of the finest in the land and much too valuable to be lying idle. It is expected that some effort will be made here to reopen the plant and if this occurs we believe it should have the sincere support of almost every one. For nearly twenty years the sugar factory has been a mainstay here and we are hoping and praying that it will come back. ♦ •

HUGE X-RAY TO AID EXPERTS FIGHT CANCER Giant West Coast Tube Nearly Ready For Use Pasadena, Calif.. Sept. I*. —(U.R)An unraveling of the mysteries of matter and a possible solution to the difficulties that have baffled physicians in their battle against cancer, is hoped for by California Institute of Techonolgy scientists who shortly will start operation of the world's largest and most powerful X-ray tube. The tube, approximately 30 feet long and using 2,000,000 volts of electricity, is science s latest instrument in the struggle against death. Rays emitted by the tube are twice as powerful as all the radium in the world would be if gathered in one spot. Dr. C. C. Lauritsen, its designer, declared. Smash Atoms With rays generated in the tube, technicians at the Institute expect to be able to demolish with ease the elusive atom, now believed to be composed of electrons, with a theoretical -'breaking point'' when "struck" by about 300.000 volts of electricity. Scientists in this way hope to be able to determine the constituents of matter. Scientists do not know exactly the makeup of atoms, their theory being that electrons form the atoms, which in turn form molecules. The different ratios of positive and negative electrons account for the various forms of matter, scientists believe. Study Electrons Although the exploration of the electrons is the primary purpose of the tube, cancer is to be the study of a research committee Composed of Los Angeles physicians. With proper safety precautions, it is believed that the potent rays will prove stronger and of more benefit than those now in use in treatments. The new tube is 1.300,000 volts stronger than any existing instrument for cancer treatment. All work of constructing the gigantic tube was done in the shops of the institute under the direction of Dr. Lauritsen, assisted by students. Glass cylinders, 20 inches high I and tapering from 18 inches to 12 inches in diameter, form the glass exterior of the long tube. Inside are the electrodes. o Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE » - (U.R) —• Renovating the Fur Coat if the fur coat looks rather worn, hang it over the bathtub, close all windows and door, turn on the hot water and allow the room to fill with steam and remain so for about twenty five minutes. Then shake the coat well and hang on the line to dry. The results will be very pleasing. Oranges The white lining of an orange or grapefruit will come off with the skin if soaked in boiling water for a few minutes before pealing. Table Covers The cloth for the breakfast table should cover only a portion of the table. Small clothes, runners, and doilies may be used. Oil Field Shutdown Cuts Texas Hens’ Menu Kilgore, Tex., Sept. 22. — (U.R) — The martial law shutdown of the East Texas oil field placed poultry of the region on wartime rations. Before tlie coming of the National Guard, the gas flares and flambeaux of 1.600 producing wells, burning brightly by night, lured insects by the millions. Roosters and pullets congragated about the wells and feasted. Then came the soldiers and the flares were extinguished. For long days now East Texas fowls have been compelled to capture junebugs on the wing, or return to the prosaic practice of scratching for worms. o Seasonal Changes Turn Huge Granite Sphere Salem, N. H-, Sept. 22 — (U.R)— In three more decades a polished gran ite ball, weighing more than 500 i pounds, atop a monument in Elmwood Cemetery probably will have turned a complete revolution without the touch'd human hands. The customary dowel pin was omitted in putting the ball on the monument. As a result, winter weather already has turned the ball over 14 inches .about quarter of its circumference, in the past 10 years. Ice forming in the saucer-like base lifts the ball slightly. The sun I naturally melt the ice to the east of the ball first, causing it to settle to that side, thus shifting. o— NOTICE —I must have money now Don't miss getting your work at ! my shop at once.

A Message from England To American business men from Herbert N. Casson. Editor of The . Efficiency Magazine. London. Eng. ; This is the way Mr. Casson puts ! it. You are depressed. You think you i are crippled. You are afraid of the future. You are full of fears. You have half the gold of the world and half the machinery and most of the automobiles and all the skyscrapers. You have the greatest home market and the largest corporations that the wot Id has even seen. You are ruled more by ideas and less by tradition than any other people in the world. You have usually done what you thought you could do. How can it be possible that a progressive nation of 120,000,000 people can be wrecked by the speculations of a little handful of fools in Wall Street. The prices that were forced too high had to come down. Today all the prices are too low. There is now a golden opportunity for every man who has eyes to see it. Dollars are now being sold for thirty cents. Practically every security in the United States is now being sold at less than its value. The way to create a fortune is to buy from pessimists. Pay your money and take the risk. Frick started his career by buying coke ovens in the slump of 1873. Carnegie made $300,009,000 by buying steel plants tn slumps. Hundreds of fortunes have been made by buy.ing from pessimists. Ye Gods: What a chance there is at this moment « j| In five years from now most American business men will belong to the “l-Wish-l-Had Club". Then it will be too late to buy a dollar for thirty cents. The opportunity wil Ibe gone. When a horse balks the balk is in his head, not in his legs. He moves on when he thinks he will. And when an American business man is depressed the slump is in his head. There is nothing serious to prevent him front making money if he things he will. When Fear rules the will nothing can be done, but when a man casts Fear out of his mind the world becomes his oyster. To lose a bit of money is nothing, but to lose hope—or lose nerve and ambition—that is what makes
