Professor Kinstein tolls the universe liow it is made and scientists ask, Is his stuff too deep for us, or is lie just ans wering questions in fairy story fashioned as his ancestors did, when they wrote" the hook ot Genesis, some time ago, and ev plained everything easily, pack ing it all into one week. ' Kinstein gets rid of the ether he does iiot need it in his universe, lint he does not a n s w e r Newton's question, "1 Tow can separate bodies of malter draw each other with no element connecting them? In plainer words, how could yij lead a cow unless you had a rope fastened to her? The ether is Newton's rope, hypoth etical, that attaches one body in space to another, making gravitation possible. Professor Kinstein says men thought of matter first, earth, horses, rocks, themselves, and only began to think about spaca in which they,-Hiid matter exist. Von know, from the learn ed Jeans, that all matter in the universe, compared with the space in which it floats, is like one grain of dust, floating around in a big railroad sta tion. ' 4. Now, says Kinstein, span;! Jfins 'beeonie''' the important thing, and 'matter is secondary. Matter once seemed to be fill ing up space, eating it up, as it were. Now space has turn ed, and is eating up matter. Make something substantial out of Hint, and you will think like Kinstein. That deep one is working on equations that, he hopes, will prove the cosmos, which means everything there is, is all one. Electro - magnetic phenomena, gravitation and geometry are all the same. ': , A microbe, studying, a big building, might discover that ..r e i,.t:.. u'i, imimimiuu, eieuiiic , li ning, furnaces, soil pipes, eleva I tors, telephones are all one, all having comes from some comer of the architect's brain. Kinstein may reach the con clusion that somewhere, there is a cosmic architect, and that all conies from one corner of his brain. That would be embarrassing (Continued on Page Four) AmLIii' admirals an rx-adml nn wlint they think o mliu-ln the Xavy Li urty much like fwHn' out a horse doctor on in nutomoblle.

"A key banker has been ap pointed to represent the agricul tural committee In each agricul tural county, and most of them ""e functioning. '-'The '.reports also reveal strong' flnnncial support of agricultural work (2l,06i)); a large attendance of bankers at various agricultural meetings (623): and of greater im portance. r65 farmers, boys and girls working on appropriate proj ects under the leadership nnd with the encouragement of the county agent nnd home banker. "It Is to be remembered, how ever, that this year's work docs not stand alone. It Is the result of a steady growth In a long-time banker-farmer program. "Varying conditions in the state makes necessary nnd passible ft wide diversity of adaptable proj ects. Bar nit m Talks. The address of the forenoon, de livered by L. Barnum of The Dal les, carried the keynote that pres ent sound banking principles must be continued. He did not discuss chain or group hanking, but paid high compliment to stnte nnd gov ernment supervision of banks. He referred to the federal farm board in commendable manner and in dicated that while the government has no place in carrying on a busi ness or entering into it. its interest in farm affairs had many benefits. However, it could not regulntp prices, the Inw of supply and de mand controlling this r.nd supply ing the only sound basis for mar ket values. W. A.
