EVERLASTING AND FOREVER the wonders of the wireless con Marconi has recently carried on • conversation of nearly six thou miles with South America, Again demonstrating the imperisha bility of sound and visible images. 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. - ! *If tha sirSnge observer in the far distant sphere, was also equip ped with a microphone of corres ponding power to his telescope, he could hear the speech of the ac tors he saw on the world stage. t All the words that have been uttered since the world began to exist somewhere, and their ghoBts haunt the universe forever. The Biblical assertion that a man’s words and deeds live after him, is amply verified by science. There’s hidden truth in the cient myth of the recording angel. 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 square mile was found, while villages in Chekiang had a popula tion of 4600 to the square mile. These figures indicate a density than In the most populated part of India, where on cultivated land the lation is 1162 to the square mile. China, a nation of for centuries, is suffering from depression, pressure of tion, poverty and war. TO STAMP OUT ILLITERACY The American Federation of bor and the American Legion united in the great legialative gram which seeks to eliminate literacy from America. Approximately one-third of total voting strength in elections in America is unable read pnd write and these two organization have elected to what the causes are. First, the exploitation and use children in the factories, the the mines, the farms—in words, the commercialization child life, and second, or poorly regulated immigration. They propose to abridge the en trance into America, whether it be represented in simple illiteracy or whether it be represented in antago nism, a misunderstanding or an op position to our form of government. 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.
