One hundred years ago Joseph
Smith, prophet, founded the “Church
of Jesu^ Christof Latter-Day Saints.”
le received from Heaven gold plates,
mysteriously engraved^ and from
hem, divinely guided, translated the
look of Mormon. /
At least, that's his story. His
‘ollowers say it should not be ques-
tioned by Christians that accept a
similar story from Moses, about the
tablets of the law.

Those that wisely respect all re-
igions, denying none, are interested
especially in the changes that have
come over Mormonism, still full of
vitality after 100 years. Joseph
Smith made a particular virtue of
many wives for one man—so /did
wise King Solomon, by the way.
Modern Mormonism, rallying un-
der the purple, blue and gold ban-
ner, “Cumqrah-Ramah,” .says, “one
wife is enough.” That does not mean
repudiating Joseph Smith. Many
good Christians tone down Jonah and
he whale, knowing that the earth
is round, do not insist that the four
angels actually stood at the four
4 corners of the earth. All life is at
compromise. _^

The number of days’ supply of
gasoline in die United States was
reduced by 6 days during the month
of July, leaving a 54 days’ supply
on hand August 1, at the July rate
of consumption. According to the
monthly statistics of the United
States Bureau of Mines the'gasoline
stocks on hand at the ’refineries
amounted to 1,165,389,340 gallons,
a 7.7 per cent decrease from the
1,263,583,128 gallon supply avail-
able July 1. In comparison with
August, 1922, the figures indicate
s 12 days’ increase in supply on hand
this year*
Although the number of refineries
reporting to the Bureau of Mines
slightly decreased during July from
the previous month, the aggregate
daily indicated crude capacity of the
refineries increased, amounted to
2,093,657 barrels. These plants
were running to their stills during
July a daily average of 1,629,982
barrels of crude oil which was 77.9
per cent of their capacity. Domes-

One single IDEA might be worth
three hundred billions—for instance,
and idea supplying men with un-
limited free power from sun or
tides. ; *
There arp many limes three hun-
dred billions wqrth of wealth below
the earth in mines, oil, gas, coal,
and in the earth’s thin crop produc-
Itupcarpet of soil.
There- are more titan three hun-
dred billion dollar’s worth of nitro-
gen in the air above us. This is a
rich country, but we need more peo-
ple, ud instead of encouraging them
to ccme in, wc foolishly keep them
out ;< i y
milked? If you haven’t you’ve mus-
ed the biggest western vaudeville
act ever created. Milking a wild
cow will be one of the features of
Friday night rodeo in front of the
grand stand. It is certain that Fri-
day will be a “big nigh!” at the fair
grounds.
Saturday Night—Tut! tut! What
do you know about the tomb of
the good King Tutankhamen? Not
Henry Ford is studying a better
kind of boat to carry fre ght and
passengers. If he produces fc, he
will add billions to the nation’s
wealth. Hie height of mechanical
folly is carrying, on pounding rails
and wheels, freight that ought to
glide, without friction or wear, along
thousands of miles of canals and
rivers. /■ r
To enjoy a good headache, read
Sir Ernest Rutherford, great Brit-
ish scientist, on the atom. A thou-
sand atoms in the corner of your
eye wouldn’t bother you. You
wouldn’t know they were there.
The atom, a complex unit of pure
electricity, of which all substances,
elements, wealth, rocks, buildings,
money and men are made, is a min-
iature solar system. It has a mitral
electron which is like the sun.
Around it revolve dozens of small-
er electrons like planets. The elec-
trons farthest away from the cen-
tre, in this miniature solar system,
travel slowly in their orbits—only
five hundred miles a second. Those
nearest the centre travel at the in
conceivable speed of ninety-three
thousand miles a second.
What horrible forces are locked
up in those minute particles of mat-
ter? In such an “infra-world/
much, we’ji bet, but if you will get
lav
a good grand stand seat Saturday
night, the whole history of this an-
cient Pharoah will be made as sim-
ple as the first grade primer. It’ll
be a big night—bring the ladies!
This year even larger premiums
are hung up for the horned and hoof-
ed aristocrats, of the range. The of-
ficial annual show of the Sheep and
Goat Raisers’ Association of Texas
will be he|d in conjunction with the
fair which is giving away $2,100 in
prizes in this division alone, insur-
ing the greatest show of its kind
ever held in the Southwest. The Con-
cho Hereford Breeders’ Association
Feeder Calf Sale and the Texas Hcre-
ord Association’s annual sale will
be business gatherings of interest to
all cattlemen.
Three days of polo will answei the
insistent demand of the thousands
who saw this most thrilling sport
last year.

erty goes. See E. L. COLLINGS for
