OLESON AUTO EXCHANGE ,- 349 North Commercial RADIO SIGNALS NOT FROM MARS: SAYS ABBOT Mystery Messages Heard in London May Be From Ve nus or Other Planet SOURCE "STILL " PUZZLES Intense Cold Precludes Possi bility of Martian Life Is Theory WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 5. U wire less messages are being r.eved on earth from some other planet, as suggested by William Marconi, it is not Mara sending the signals, but most probably Venus, saja Dr. C. O. Abbot, director of the Smithsonian aslrophyslcal observatory ana assist ant secretary of the Smithsonian in stitution. Or. Abbo't makesno claim that the mysterious signals do come from another planet but says it t hoy' do. Mars Is eliminated as a possibility because known conditions on that planet would not permit the exist ence of any living form of creature. " Cold In Intenne "In the Tirst place." says Dr. Ab bot, "on account of the greater" dis- tance, nearly two and om-balf times less radiation from the sun reaches Mars than reaches the earth. It i probably 100 per cent colde.- on the average on that distant planet than on the earth. Knowing what law temperatures occur on thij earth in the course of the winter season it will readily be realized wha: a hund red degrees colder woulj mean. In the second place, even if any form of life could .withstand that degree of cold, it is definitely known by the investigations of Director C&Mpbell of Lick observatory that there is practically no water vapor in the at mosphere surrounding Mars, which fact crosses out the possibility of that planet's supporting any vegeta tion or other form of food for liv ing creatures, -. "Canal" S.I.I To Re Myth "The polar caps which ars seen, on Mars may be either hoar frost from the minute traces of water va por in the Martian atmosphere, or what is quite as probable, frozen car bonic aciT gas. The so-called "can als" of Mars are non-existent except ; as fndefinte markings according to such telescopic observers as Barnard.

Walker Whiteside as James Doric in .MaMrr ot liallatitrne." Walker Whiteside will appear at ! the Grand Opera House at an early I an oarlv i date in "The Master of Ballantrae." a dramatization of Robert Louis ' unuiauMuuu oi uooeri thorns Stevenson's immortal tale of rom- ance, adventure and rascality. Mr. Whiteside will be seen as James Du rie. the hero-rogue of the play. This lovable scape-grace comes back to his ancestral estates in Scotland, after an absence of ten years, during which time he has been mourned as dead. Money, with which to pursue his-fast life in France, is the magnet wtich calls the wanderer home. Be ing opposed in his demands by his plodding brother Henry Durie. James adopts schemes which are nefarious to say the least, and the inevitable result is a duel, in which the ad venturer finds himself out gener alled. The play is full to repletion of dramatic scenes, amusing situa tions, witty dialogue, passages of heart stirring sentiment, and a cli max of nerve straining intensity.

This political organization is now in full control ot the stale govern ment of North Dakota. Mr. Mills states that be has been working steadily in that state during the past two years, organizing the farmers and wage earners under this move ment to take over all the functions of state government. He states he is the author of near ly all of the literature that has been spread broad-cast informing the pub lic of the plan of government con templated by . the organization. Mr. Mills spoke for nearly two hours recounting the abuses whic?i he claims had been Inflicted on the North Dakota grain growers by Wheat BDeCUlatOra in msnlmililln- storage rates and market quotations. He stated that the farmers received an average of 50 cents a bushel more for their wheat this vear than the wouia nave gotten under the old marketing system. "State-owned mills are turning ont flour sold under state guaranty of quality and full weight," be assert- eu. ana oecause ot tne economical system under which the wheat crop of North Dakota is moved Into the market, the farmers of that state pocketed $25,000,000 more for their crop this year than would have come to them bad the league not taken over the channels of trade." The banking system, the speaker asserted, is now fully controlled by the present state government. "In consequence." be declared, -interest on farm mortgages have fall en from 8 1-4 'per cent to 6 per cent" The speaker assured his hearers the banks of North Dakota are man aged by some of .the best banking talent available and that the state bank clearances now amount to $1, OCO.000 each .week. "Under the Dakota system." said Mr. Mills, "anyone with a little mon ey and enterprise may own his own home. If he desires to own a farm the state will ask him to select his land, and pay one-fifth of the pur chase price. The state willben loan him the balance, or four-fifths. He will be given 20 years In which to reimburse the state, together with Interest." Should anyone desire to buy or build a home in the city the same nulhod of financing the venfure Is applied, he said. Mr. Mills asserts the system of government Inaugurated by the Non Partisan League is not new and on 1'ied but has been in full operation In Australia- and . New Zealand for the past 25 years, where It has main tained a degree of prosperity among the rank and file of the people. He asserts that the league will carry Minnesota at the ntt clot (--. - that Montana, Idaho and Washing ton are now as good as won. , An effort is bing made to get con trol of Oregon by uniting the rail road Workers, lahor nnlnm ant mm bers of farmers' organizations into One DOlitical Dartr.
