It is a physical law, indisputably
proven and capable of easy and per
fect demonstration, that so sound
or motion is ever lost.
A friend speaks; we hear thd
jvords vanish into air; but the sound
is only gone beyond our hearing—
somewhere in the universe, far and
forever beyond our ken, those words
are flying through space, and will
continue to move on and on down
the corridors of the ages as long as
time is.
It is the same with all motion—
our every action is recorded, im
perishable somewhere in the outer
void-—everlastingly hurrying toward
infinity.
Aa fast as light travel*, scien
tists tell us that the light from the
brightest star in the heavens has
been a year and a half reaching the
eye, and if the star were to disap
pear tonight, its light would con
tinue to stream through space for
a year and a half before we would
be conscious of its extinction.
If an observer of a strange race,
on another planet than ours, whirl
ing somewhere out in illimitable
space an unconceivable distance
from our world, was to look at this
earth through a telescope of mirac
ulous power, he would behold not
us in our present day doings, but
the personages and activities of
centuries ago. -

The Biblical assertion that a
man’s words and deeds live after

POPULATION OF CHINA
The latest population estimate
China, made by the customs, puts
the figure as high as 44,968,000.
In three rural counties in Chihli
an average of 1206 people to

villages in Chekiang had a popula

These figures indicate a

130 RADIOS TO THE COUNTY
No section of the public has taken
to the idea of radio with greater
avidity than the agricultural com
munity.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, which has Just complet
ed a survey of the use of radio sets
on farms finds that there are now
more than 370,000 radio sets in
stalled on farms, as compared with
146,000 a year ago. The average is
130 sets a county.
The large audience of “listeners
in” on farms derives not only enter
tainment but valuable information
on crop conditions and market quo
tations. The radio market news
service of the department ia having
a definite and salutary effect on the
distribution of farm products, ac
cording to market experts, and
through it the farmer is enabled to
ship his crops where and when he
pan secure the best price. Through
thirf service farmers in every state
receive daily market quotations.
ADVISES CROP REDUCTION
The outlook of the world wheat
market as seen by an expert inves
tigator of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, Theodore D.
Hammatt, and described by him in
an article in the issue of Foreign
Affairs juat released, lends little en
couragement to the belief that large
scale production of wheat on the
part of the United States will prove
profitable.
He asserts that as a result of the
shift in wheat production during
and in consequence of the war the
United States must expect strong
competition in the world market
from Canada, Argentina and Aus
tralia, and moreover must be pre
pared for “the back-pressure of
more bountiful harvests in import
ing countries and the reappearance
of Russian wheat in quantity. 11
The circumaviation of the world
cost the United States about $2,000,
000 . It will be money well spent
if it convinces the government of
ficials that the expenditure of im
mense sums for battle ships that
may become obsolete in a very short
time is money expended in the
wrong direction.
Furs from the Orient, Valued up
in the millions, are arriving every
two weeks at Seattle. Most of the
skins come from Russia via China.
President Coolidge has designated
Thursday, October 9, as
Fire Prevention Day. If the
of human carelessness or
ness, can be eliminated it will mean
the saving of thousands of lives
well as many hundreds of
of dollars.
