Formerly it was thought that the Martin tem­ perature was too cold to sustain lift, and that there was probably too little atmosphere there, and too little moisture. D r .W , W. Coblenz of-the U. S. Bureau of Standards, who conducted extensive ob­ servations from the Lowel Observatory in Arizona, reporte that in September the temperatures observ­ ed on Mars were considerably above 68 degrees Fahrenheit, Which Was the highest mark previously known. Also that clouds were Observed, suggest­ ing atmospheric conditions not greatly unlike oilr own. This does hot prove that life exists on Mars. It does indicate, however, that it is not impossible that there is life of some sort there. That is Very far from saying that there are men on Mars, or any type of intelligent creatures Com­ parable to man. We may never khow much more about the niatteh SO terrestrial men and women might as well settle down to learn all they can about this little old footstool of thé Creator, and make the best possible use of it. There are plenty of prob­ lems here to occupy their attention. i,-1ÎLL H E CDME“ K owTi vne ’ u . BE rhwt c v f OMWHOM a -rz w e s s U £ s 1*4 < O Editors generally have some kind of a howl! Most of the time the objective is a serious wail that “ Aft for Art’s sake,” doesn’t put new shirts on the editoriâl backs. Here is our idea of getting Out a newspaiiet:— It is not a picnic. If tre print jokes, folks say wc are silly. If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say We lffck- variety. , ' If Wc publish things from other papers, we’re too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, wfe ought to be out rust­ ling news. If we’re rustling news, w e’re not attending to business in the office. If we don’t print contributions, we don’t show proper appreciation. If we do print them, they say the newspaper should not be used for that purjiose. Like as not, some one will say we swiped this from some magazine.
