Improved Weather Service.
By United Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-An i'm
provement of general public inter-
est is being introduced into the
weather bureau. The predictions
heretofore made were based on the
observations at 8 a. m. and 8 p. m.
and were made for the "a hours
from the tine the observations were
taken. These predictions were
necessarily a little belated as it was
several hours before they could be
placed before the public. Those
published in the morning papers
~esx for time which had
already nearly half expired
and for the evening papers the case
was still worse as the portion of the
time covered had already elapsed
for which the predictions were of
most value. The proposed improve
ment consists in having the predic-
tions in each case cover the time
until midnight of the next day.
When this takes effect, which will
be on the first of January next, the
predictions printed in the morning
papers will appear early in the day
to which they apply, while those in
the evening papers will be for
the day after. The pub
lie will be informed on
the evening before of the expected
weather and will be given an i'm
proved forecast the next morning if
Improvement is needed. By this plan
the needs Of the public will be much
more fully met. The forecasters are
also encouraged to predict for the
second or third day in advance when
ever they think the state of the wealth
er will justify them in doing so. The
! privilege of doing this was given
them two years ago and they have
more and more taken advantage of
this liberty.

CATION and should merit expulsion. No
paper vested with authority to represent
our Order officially has the right to assail
our principles or any member of the
Order while acting in such a capacity.
Such an oflense should cause AL true
Alliance men to repudiate such paper
promptly. No member, while his name
remains on our rolls, has a right TO assail
the principles of the Order publicly. He
is not only permitted, but is encouraged
by our law, to discuss any and all meas
ures coming within our province with
the utmost freedom and to any extent he
may desire within the Order. But the
will Of the majority is the law of the
Order, and if he can not acquiesce in the
decision of the majority, and feels that
he is conscientionsly impelled to go
before the public and assail our princi-
pies, he should first divest himself of his
Alliance uniform. With what consist
ency could a Baptist or Methodist go
before the world and publicly oppose and
denounce some of the most cherished
tenets of his church, How long would
his name remain on his church book
How long ought it to remain there
Why should he expect or desire to remain
in the church?
Loyalty to Alliance principles is the
only true Alliance test, not only as to
membership, but it should faithfully be
applied in the selection of all officers,
from the steward in a subordinate ALI
ance to the president of the National
Alliance, and it must be applied in the
selection of those who are to make and
execute our laws, if we would reasonably
hope for the reforms which we seek.
We want no foes within our camp.
We can live better without them than
with them. Let the membership be
watchful and faithful, and guard with
untiring vigilance the principles of the
Order. Never was the outlook for our
cause so hopeful and encouraging. We
have only to be true to our principles,
true to our obligations and to our noble
Order, and all will be well.
Fraternally, L. l.. POLK,
President N. F. A. and l. U.

endorsed by unanimous voice:
Our kind Heavenly Father in His wis

of Menefee county, KY, from labor tc
rest OH the 18th inst. BY request of the
bereaved family he was inferred in the
family cemetery with honors of our Or

His presence will be very much missed

his loss, we are not as those who have no
hope, but have that sweet consolation
that our loss is his eternal gain, and we
hereby tender the bereaved family our
tenderest sympathies.
" Dear loved ones, who have gone before u.s.
Wait for us there;
To loving arms will God restore us,
And in their bliss well share.
Then full of faith wen lay our sorrows
At Jesus feet,
And in the bright and heavenly morrow
Loved ones, the saved ones, greet"
May He who numbers the hairs
of our heads and in whose presence the
sparrows fall, care for the bereaved ones,
and may theirs be an unbroken family
