Justice for the Farmer With prospect? for a larger crop than usual, us far as tlio whole country is ooiiooruoil. it should bo gratifying to the farm ers to know the present treasury lopii it iiient is alive to the ne cessity of ample money for crop moving purposes Mini further more has nerve enough to act ami act decisively when there is any need of action. Here is a recent statement from Secretary McAdoo: "The new federal reserve hanks should he in operation in time to materially help the crop movement. Whether they are or not the treasury is ready and can extend all the aid that may ho needed. The financial con dition of the country is so ex ceptionally sound now and money is so easy that no con cern whatever need he felt ahout the immediate future You have not heard this year, for the lirst time in many years,' anything ahout tight money this fall or any expressed fear of inability to handle the big crops that are in prospect. "The federal reserve banks will be ready for business much sooner than expected. An im mense amount of work has been done that does not appear on the surface. When the federal re serve board organizes it will find comprehensive information, col lected and prepared by the Re serve Bank Organization- Com mittee, and reports made by a committee of experts, composed of H. Parker Willis, chairman; Edmund D. Fisher, Andrew A. Benton, A. Howard Wolfe, Jo seph A. Broderick, Ralph Daw son and Stephen H. Famham of New York, on a system of tini form accounting, clearing house functions, commercial paper, etc. Also briefs from important clear ing houses and commercial bodies on the definition of com mercial paper. The reserve board will be able to get down to business quickly and expe dite the final steps in the organi zation of the banks." Every intelligent farmer knows the meaning of ample money at crop moving time. It means just prices to the grower. A tight money market always means forced sales whether pri ces are right or not, and the farmer loses a considerable margin of 'profit which is ab sorbed by the men who handle the crops after they have left first hands. Secretary McAdoo seems to have the notion that the farmer is the man who should obtain the profits in the farming busi ness and he is right about it. East Oregonian.

LIGHT OF THE SUN In Its Pjre State We on the Earth Mave Never Seen It. SOME RAYS DO NOT REACH US. If They Did They Would Probably De stroy Life as It Exists on Our Planet. Daylight and Sunlight Differ Almost as Much as Do Wine and Water. "As clear as daylight" expresses In ordinary language a maximum of plain ness and obviousness. Nevertheless daylight is one ot the most complicat ed Hud capriciously variable of all nat ural phenomena. Almost everybody you meet will tell you that daylight and sunlight are dif ferent names tor the same thing. They think they know that much of astron omy anyway. But astronomy does not teach anything of the kind. Astronomy simply tells us that the sun Is the pri mary cause or source of daylight, but it does not say that daylight und sun light are Identical. In fact, they dif fer almost as much as do water and wine. But the degree of difference varies. Daylight Is a mixture of two kinds of light, and Its quality is continually elianuliiij, us cvcr,vlunl,v who tins evei hud mo tlilnu in do wllli hitKi'!ih,Y knows. The pl'opiirtluus of the two kinds of Unlit (hut tank diiyiluht lire not I In- same from lumr to hour iiml bttrdly from minute in minute In clear wenllicr, muter an open sky, wllh tlio sun hint! In the he.avciis. day light, says I'rolessor Mchols of Cor nell. Is almost entirely sunlight A white niii Hire epoNnl to an unolisrur ed sky receives Olivet ly from the sun IO per cent ot the llhl Hint Illuminates It uud only l.'i per cent from other parts of the sky dome This other part ot the Illumination Is culled skylight, uud It consist of lllit. nearly nil of which mine orltf liinlly trotii I lie Mini, but which tins been changed III quality by relleetlon from the einili. from ihe i louds anil from dust nnd vuvor In the air. Many of the my that chametcrUed the orlg lunl sunlight tut ve been absorbed by the rellertlug substances, so (lint what remain Is no longer I lie same thing as before On a completely ovenim day there Is no siiuliglu. properly so culled, but only skylight. Whether the sky Is overcast or not the intensity of day light varies with the hour of the day ifml with the season. This Is due to differences In ihe elevation of the sun. These variations in the intensity of daylight are surprisingly great. The Intensity Is on the average ten times as great In midsummer as In uildwin ter, but this averime comes fur from expressing Ihe utmost difference that ciiii exist, for Investigation has shown that between the clearest iiinnier day mid the darkest day or winter the ra tlo of the Intensity or daylight may he as great as :iiin to I. Hesldes. the ipiallty or daylight Is continually changing on account or the variations In the relative amount or the different rays of the spectrum that are mingled In It. The spectrum of light Is a gMiuur of vibrations, and the result of the selective action exercised by the substances and vapors, from which the light has been rellected and through which It has passed Is to pro duce variations of color anil of Intensi ty of color, as well as of the iUaiitlt.v of Invisible radiations present, and these variations are not the less real and Important because the eye is not always fully aware of them. As to pure sunlight, we never see It on the earth The light that arrives to us from the sun has neither the color nor the Intensity that It possesses be fore It enters Ihe atmosphere. The ultraviolet rays especially are almost completely screemsl olt by the attnos phere. and If they reached us In their full force it Is probable that life as now orciinl.ed on this planet would be destroyed by them. Kvery different world has its own daylight, although all may be Illumi nated by the same sun. Not only does relative distance affect the Intensity of daylight on different planets, but the constitution of their various atmos pheres, has an equally great effect. Venus has n daylight twice as intense as ours: Mars one half as intense. On Jupiter the Intensify Is l-.Ti of that on tlie earth: on SHtnrn. MM; on Nep tune. I min. But each or these planets has an at mosphere peculiar to Itseir. and thus the differences of daylight upon them are made still inure remarkable. This Is one of the first things to be taken into aecoiiur in all speculations about the habitahillty of those other worlds. -(Jarrett I'. Servlss iu Spokane Spokes-miiu-Keview. Cutting Remark.
