(C. E. Spence, State Market A gentl Nineteen Million Take T oll« and heat. Near Cario, Egypt, a “ solar engine” pumps water from a well. Mirrors concentrate the sun’s light on a boiler and steam so pro duced operates the engine. Now, at Mt. Wilson, Calif., Dr. C. G. Abbot has built what he calls a “ solar cooker.” The top o f the stove is a reservoir o f oil. Oil absorbs and re tains heat. The oil flows down | through a pipe which lies above a curved mirror. The mirror centers the sun’s rays on the pipe, heating the oil and causing it to reft1 iato the oil reservoir again. This oil becomes hot enough to make cooking possible. The beauty about using the sun’s energy is that you dun/t have to get a permit, or pay meter bills, and it is virtually inexhaustible. --------- o January 1 o f this year there were 30,665,000 people on the forms of the United States who produced and put on the market from e i g h t t o nine O b t e r v . the Potato Law billion dollars’ worth o f farm pro The State Market Agent warns ducts. j farmers, dealers and retailers to ob- When, these products had run j serve the grading and sack stenciling through all the middle channels and | o f potatoes.

So long as he will leave the karlas (native encamp ments) alone, the men are quite ready to leave him alone. But lions. es|>e- clally when aging and unable to catch game with ease, are apt to begin prey ing on straying or sick camels. This leads to frequent raids on the stock Then a herder disappears, and It be comes only a question of time when shrieks on a dark night proclaim that the lion has forced a xareba (stock ade) to satisfy his taste for human blond. • Victims will now he taken regular ly, and as long as the man-killer lives no one knows when his turn will come.

V How Nurse* Raise Funds Falmouth. Mann., ha* a nursing as sociation affiliated with the Red Cross public hea’lth nursing service, which has won recognition from far places by Its method of raising funds for its work, says the Red Cross Courier. These funds are raised by *n snnusl fete, preceded by a theatrical benefit performance. At the (lerfommnce preceding the Inst fete the sketches and features were presented by talented amateur*, and ■ club gave a performance of Booth Tarklngton-* one-act pity, "Bimbo, the Pirate." The fete was held on the vtllage green, a plctureaque and beautiful bit of old New England. With decorated booths and grounds adorned with flags and Japanese lantern* the atmos- 9 ; phere was gay, and residents und vis itors entered into the carnival spirit. The Ice-cream booth disposed of 50 gallons of Ices. There were fortune ! telling, candy, fancy work, fruit and vegetables, flower and sandwich and ! “ hot dog” booths. Foliage and crepe paper gave them rainbow hues. The net result was a fund of $2,600. HOW= EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT ON GERMS IS MADE USEFUL,— For a long time scientists have known that sunlight kills germ life. Tills knowledge 1ms been put to practical use in many different ways. But science does not know yet Just why sunlight kills germs. The pub lic health service, assisted by the bureau of standards, has been doing some valuable work along this line. It had been pre viously established that the germ-killing power of sunlight came largely from the actinic or invisible rays of the sun For the ex|ieriments these rays were produced In regulated quanti ties. Tli% health service sup plied mnny different species of germs for the experiments. One type, bacterium colicommnmis, is the kind most frequently found in sewage-tainted water In some cases the germs died In less than one second after being exposed to the rays After a long series of tests the scien tists In charge of the work, W. W. Cohlentx and II R. Fulton, worked out the mortality pro duced by each different wave length of the invisible light waves. dition has been this: The report o f the comptroller shows that from June 30, 1021 to June 30, 1925 there were 340 national bank failures and 2148 bank failures other than national banks, making a total qf 2488 bank failures in the four years, or 622 per year— nearly two per day. The total loss o f deposits as $598,524,- 055. O f these failures, 1388, not nat ional banks, and 242 national banks were in ten o f our agricultural states. The failures ran very low in indus trial centers and abnoramlly high in agricultural sections. These statistics conclusively prove that the one great industry o f agri culture is hampered, held back, dis criminated against, preyed on, while other industries are enjoying profits and prosperity. Far seeing men know that the time will come when this failing o f our basic industry will | be reflected on other industries. With the buying power of over | thirty million people curtailed to nec essities, there can be no other re sult. How Trains Are “Run” ' j aAs the average train passenger flashes by station after station, passes and meets other trains, and arrives safely at Ills destination and on time, he is, no doubt, unconsciously grateful to the conductor and engineer who pi loted the train. But very few people who travel on trains know or give thought to the fact thnt there is a “power behind the throne” which made the tracks clear and gave them uninterrupted passage. Back of every train movement Is the train dispatcher. From him crews receive their orders, and upon his instructions trains are run. There are over 6,»100 train dis- pntchers in the United Stntes who started in when they were young men and have become dispatchers only through long years of hard work and study.— Pathfinder Magazine.

The east north central states show the greatest gains, 430 per cent, while the Pacific coast states show but 112 per cent. One o f the reasons given fo r this slow development is that so many d iffe r ent products are grown on each farm that it is very difficult to embrace them into selling organizations.
