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. ':

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

Agricultural Committee Re
port By Courtney Is
Heard Barnum Says
Sound Principles Must
Continue
With registrations rapidly near
ins the 200 murk, attendance at
the 25th annum convention of the
Oregon Dankers' association, open
ing here today. Is reported to be .
as good ns any in .the history of;
the organization and may even to? j
better. A breakfast conference at
8 o'clock this morning at the Hot.-l
Medford began the day's activities j
and was followed by the opening
session of the convention at the
Masonic temple.
This afternoon was to be spent in
various ways by the visiting bank
ers, many of whom took part in the
golf tournament at the local links
ind others were guestH of the Med- j
ford Chamber of Commerce which
arranged a scenic tour of the val
ley. Tomorrow's program will in
clude four speakers and the re
ports of the auditing, resolutions
and nominating committees. Of
ficers for the next year will also
be elected and installed.
A report today or the agricul
tural committee of the association
by Eugene Courtney, chairman, of
Woodhurn revealed the extent of
the hanker-farmer work carried on
in Oregon.
Rcort Given.
fn part, the report is as follows:
"Sot only was good work ac
complished, but out of the 240
banks of the state. 236 filled out
a questionnaire giving information
on their activity, which made 't
possible to "measure" and score
such activity.
"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.

From Conference With

Will Report.
Paul Scherer, representing the
Fruitgrowers' leugue, and llnymond
R. Iletcr, representing the ltogue
River Traffic association, have re
turned from sessions of the North
west advisory committee, held lost
week in Spokane, at which rail
road officials and shippers of th
Northwest were in attendance
Steps were taken for the secur
ing of a -standard fruit box weight
for the three Pacific coast slates.
California has a SO-pound weight
allowance, and Washington and
Oregon u slightly higher weight.
Equalization of this weight pro
posed would result in financial and
other benefits to the fruit growers
of Oregon and Washington. The
Rogue River Traffic association has
had the weight question under dis
cussion for several months. Stand
ardization of fruit grades and park
are also proposed.
Another matter coming before
the shippers and growers at the
session was the recent decision of
the supreme court of .the United
States, on the Hoke-Smith resolu
tion. This ha.s a bearing on tin;
pending Northwest rate case in
which the Rogue River valley is
Interested. Scherer will make a re
port to the executive committee of
the Fruitgrowers League, on the
la tost developments on the rale
case.
Shipment Inrrcasc
Scherer also reports that the cat -load
shipments out of the north
west show an increase, a hopeful
sign of industrial activity.
Important fruit meetings of thW
week. Include a visit of Southern
