There is no gtsd reason for them staying there, They may think it's good politics but during a crisis like the present the best politics is to be the best American. o—o Senator Taft says that ninetylive per cent of the people of the United States favor peace. That’s right senator and President Roosevelt is In there batting with that idea in mind. That's why the senator is supporting him—because he knows he is right. —o The parade here on Halloween will be the longest and the best over we are informed.

The boys earned this trip at the state con-

test at Purdue several monha ago and will be well chaperoned by the comity agent ' S . There la talk of ousting Hubby HarttMtt aa manager of the Chit tago Cuba, action that would not prove popular among the tullllona 1 of tana who follow the great uati tonal pastime and who for years have watched the progress of the , various teams, which makes the > job a Utile more delicate for owner * Wrigley to handle. : —— > The CIO and the AFL are no * nearer together than they wore three years ago. Every offer from either aide ba* beau voted down because there seems to be a distinct difference In basic views. It's a serious thing for labor and for the country for such a battle 1 * la never helpful when it extends over such a long period of time. o » William Green was reelected president of the American Feder-1 | ation of Labor for the sixteenth time at the convention in CinclnI nati. indicating his popularly with I 1 the delegates.

His promotion from grand warden through the chairs has been continuing the past several years and he has now reached the highest honor. Mr. Major is well informed as to his duties and will serve with credit We extend our personal congratulations and those of the entire community. o— o The suggestions made recently through this paper for Improvements that would make this a better place in which to reside ' all had merit though some of them i are probably Impossible for the I present. One of those that might have immediate attention with excellent results is the xonlng ordinance. There must be business I of course and we certainly have t no desire to injure any one who . is making an effort to earn a iivt tug but regulations are made in r every good city and we believe the , average person would prefer to ■ know just what he can do legally.

WEATHER OF OTHER WORLDS Ths Planet Mercury Weather upon the earth is due I to the gravity pull of sun and j moon upon the earth's' fluid air I mivelope. But on otbur worlds j weather 'is strangely different I from ours. There are nine planets in the | Solar System. Jupiter, the larg-1 ' < st, has four large moons and I Jupiter is therefore the stormiest | i idanet of all. Earth has one i moon. Venus has no inoou and so i has no weather. Neither has Met- ' enry a moon, but Mercury is so : . lose to the sun that the sun ; takes the place of a moou In raising tides in Mercury's thin air. j Perhaps, some day people will actually fly to Mercury In rocket 1 ships. The idea is fantastic, but j no more fantastic than the idea of airplanes were a hundred years ago. What would Mercury be like i if we could go there? Mercury is a little world about three thousand miles in diameter.' not much bigger than our moon. ! It lies 35 million miles from the i sun. As we approach Mercury we notice bow hot sunlight is. Solar rays are no longer pleasantly warm like they are on earth They are truly hot. and when we glance at our space thermometer, we see that the temperature in the sunshine is 600 degrees, or as hot as a pot of melted lead. Drawing closer to Mercury, we see that this little planet is red. like Mars. The ground and the rocks there are the color of burned brick, but unlike Mars, Mercury is very mountalnouo. Mer-

DAILY FORECAST if, QCT 1939 “ ir 17 18 19 ZO Z1 27 23 ,|,oj O — cury's land area is rugged, with | areal volcanic pits, craters and red rock tumbled everywhere. Astronomers say that Mercury Is the most mountainous of all the planets. The air on Mercury is thin. There is no water there, and no clouds This little world always keeps the same face toward the sun the way the mtxm always turns It's face toward the earth. When we laud upon the hot rocks of Mercury, we find that there is no succession of day and night there. On oue side it is always day and on the other side it is always nlgbt. but because of the curious motion of Mercury in • its orbit, the sun apparently bounces up and down like a great rub- - her ball on the horiXQU. It is cur- | lous to see this great flaming sun i j forever going up and down, like a ' hot jumping jack. WEATHER QUESTIONS > Q.

NEW turn TO APPEAR TODAY New Model Os Chevrolet* To Make Formal Pub* lie Bow Today Detroit. Oft. H — Three completely re-styled series of ChevI rolet iMtaaengrr cars, combining greater length and width with ! much more massive appearance. | and embodying many mechanical 1 refinements, mada their formal j public bow today at the National I Automobile Show and in Chevrolet dealers' salesrooms from coast to ' coast, tiver-all length has been inI creased 4** Inches, a change which ! makes the new line outstanding for Its sleekness and grace Improvements, aside from stylI Ing. tn which sweeping change* , are made. Include provision of I Chevrolet's exclusive vacuum power shift as regular equipment on all models of all three aeries, helical syncro-mesh transmission with silent low and reverse as well as silent intermediate and high, and numerous revisions affecting safety. comfort, convenience, performance. and long life. Knee-action and ahockless steering are featured on the Special DeLuxe aeries, conventional I-beam front axle with aeml-elllpttc springs and airplane typo shock absorbers being retained on the Master 85. Except for the difference In front suspension and the use of a slightly higher gear ratio on the Master 85. the chasaia of the three series are practically Identical. All are of the same wheelbase, and lhe power plant is the same throughout. It is the time-tried Chevrolet sixcylinder valve-in-head engine, revised in several particulars In the interests of silent operation, smoothness and long life. Those changes affect the oil system, the valve mechanism, and the camshaft. and in the two latter cases involve change in manufacturing practice as well a* in design. In appearance, the 1940 Chevrolet is new from bumper to bumper. Bodies, fenders, hood, and frame are completely redesigned, to embody low-slung grace. These changes result also in increased stability, since they lower the center of gravity of the car mb a whole. Changes, except for trim and extra equipment, are the same on all three series.

The radiator grille, one of the moat obviou* outward change*, is much lower and wider. The massive chrome-plated horisontal ban at the lower part of this unit sweep outward to include (he fender area formerly occupied by auxiliary louvre* The alMgator-Jaw type hood has a deep, gracefully-round-ed nose, and is designed in such away that the line along which it opens is unnoticeable when the hood is closed. The hood is equipped with a theft-proof lock so that access to the engine compartment can be gained only after releasing a control knob under the dash with the car. Releasing <>f the latter allows the hood's sprl ng-loaded hinges to raise the nos* . giving access to a secondary lock which releases it the rest of the w» y. This second- ; ary lock prevent* th* hood from being jarred or blown open while Plain* ha* been sea nty this year, and it will not be food until late this fall. Exract some ram and snow late in October, but it will be dry much of th* winter. Q We have just had the driest year in the paat 35 year* iu South I Dakota. There has been more I ivaat wind than normal, but less total wind L’.ian normal. What will the proatpects for the coining year be? W. L. C. A. About the middle of March, 1940 rain* will set in over th* northern part of the Great Plain*, •nd will work south to Oklahoma and Louietan* a* April progresses. But there will be strong rain contrasts in 1940. It will not be a good crop year in the west. Q. Will the Ohio river flood in 1940? Will It affect Pittsburgh? A. T A. There will be heavy rain and snow in the Ohig Valley in I*4o, but It look* as thgugh much of it would occur toward th* north, and in th* middle portion* of ths valley. Pittsburgh may be toward th* edge of a possible flood area. and may not patch the full force of the water. Watch thia column for flood forecaat*.
