CYCLONES.

Cyclones In the United States usually
travel from the southwest to northeast
Cyclones reach their greatest number
and violence in the United States "a Au-
gust and September.
The best place Of refuge is the cellar.
The next best is on the ground flat on your
face In natural depression
Do not be deceived If there comes q sud
den calm in the midst OF q violent storm.
You are probably in the center, and the
other half is coming
A cyclone is a whirIwind-that Is. a
wind having a circular, rotary movement
around a small central area In which a
comparative calm exists
The cyclone L. not AZ broad az IL IL long.
The weather wise believe the disturbance
and spiral motion may reach a depth Of
the earth's atmosphere about 10 miles
In Kansas and Nebraska the north and
south winds meet with such violence that
tornadoes are cast Off from the main body
Of the cyclone These are little, but-oh,

Face the wind, and If in a northern
hemisphere stretch out your right arm.
The center of the storm Is in that direction.
Your flight should be with the right side
to the wind, not the back
"A scientist puts il like this: IA cyclone
is really a vast steam engine. The furnace
is the sun, and the rivers and lakes and
swamps the boilers. This is using the su-
perfuous heat of the earth, giving us less
vapor above and less liquid on the surface

TEEN 1t q privilege to be able to define in
your presence the policies which believe
will bring prosperity and happiness to the
American people. In this land of free gov

party organization. 1t is the only way in
which we can give effective force to your
convictions. Without party we fight with
out hope of success Parties meet in con-
ventions, adopt their platforms and go
forth to the people appealing for the suf-
frages Of those who believe that through
that party and by the policies expressed In
that platform they can best serve their
country and protect Their rights.
The Democratic party at Chicago met in
convention. and there the majority of the
Democrats of the United States, speaking
through their legally chosen representa-
tives, laid down platform and nominated
ticket
1t is not to be expected that person will
always find in any platform all that he de-
sires and nothing which he does not like,
but when the citizen comes to vote he acts
with that party and indorses that platform
which give to him the best assurances Of
securing the most important things which
