Cyclone Strikes Edge6eld.

Edgefeld, May 2o.-A cyclone swept
over portion of this place at 5 o'clock
this morning. It seems to have
originated within mile Of Edgeheld,
and came from southwest direction,
its width ranging from 80 to 200 yards.
A number of tenant and outbouses are
total wrecks. Several occupants of a
negro residence were blown from their
Leds. The Court House was partially
unroofed, chimneys of the jail blown
off and the livery stable Of Dir. J. A.
Wier partially demolished. Its path
can be traced by the fallen trees,
hundreds having been blown down.
It spent itself about three miles from
here, and to chat point carried oe-
struction in its path. No lives were
lost nor personal injuries suffered.
The damage to property in town is
estimated at $1,000.

How Was The Bible Made?

An editorial in the Homiletic Review
for May throws some light on this
question.
A popular lecturer of Chicago re-
Gently propounded to his audience the
question. How was the Bible invent
ed? and undertook to answer it: His
intention may have been good, but he
made failure of his answer, by tax
ing at the outset the wrong point Of
view. The Bible was never invented,
in any legitimate sense of the wore.
It is a growth. And, like every other
growth, it is the result of a living force
underlying it. The question of the
exact nature of this force lies beyond
the region where historical and criti-
cal investigation can reach. The Chris
tian consciousness has universally
called the force Inspiration. But
whatever name may be applied to l.,
the mind of God is it's ultimate source,
and that is all that the sincere and de-
volt soul needs to be assured of in
using the Bible. A different question
altogether is that of the growth of the
B ,ok as a whole, a question, more
over, that admits of no simple and
short answer. There are portions Of
the Bible which originally appeared
as fragments, independent of cne an-
other, and were put together into
larger units at later time. Such are,
for instance, confe' 'sedly, the books
of Psalms and Proverbs. Such may
be, also, the books of the Pentateuch.
There are other portions of the Bible
which, from the beginning were de-
signed and published as we have them
now. Such are the Book of Acts, ard
the Epistles of Paul.

WOMAN'S TRADE UNION
LEAGUE ADOPTS PLANS
Chicaeoans Decide on Salvation Army
Methods to Increase Membership.
Scheme Successful

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Mernbers of the
Chicago Women's Trade Union league
are to adopt Salvation Army methods
to convert working women to unionism.
The plan was decided upon yesterday
after a number of delegates to the
convention from New York told how
successful such methods had proved
in that city since it was adopted about
six weeks ago.
Groups of women organizers with
drums and tambourines are to invade
the factory districts and preach the
gospel of unionism to the girls as they
leave their places for the day. Permits
will be secured from the police, SO
there can be no interference with the
street meetings.
The gatherings will be similar to
those conducted by the Salvation
Army, except no collections will be
taken up and the prayers will be for
shorter hours of labor and better
conditions

party. First Class Private W. A. Hall,
who was the first member of the aero
nautical squad, had been given the bal
loon photography end, and he made nu-
rnerous experiments to determine the
best methods for mapping the country
with a camera. One of his photo
graphs, taken before the dust cloud
began to obscure Los Angeles, showed
the greater part of the city. At 5000
feet or more it is possible to take in
at one glance all of Los Angeles from
Garvanza to the end of the breakwa-
ter-a vision which should make the
most stolid dream of the possibilities of
the city. Neither map nor word paint
ing can begin to tell OF the Los An@
geles of a quarter century In the tu-
ture as balloon view shows it.
CAPTAIN Slotterbeck had ordered a
short trip, and as we left the city linn
its We began to estimate on landing.
We knew that the lower currents
would drive US northward almost to
Pasadena, but we had lost sight of the
two automoblles-Dick Ferris Pope
Toledo and A. c. Messengers Sharp
Arrow-which were bringing the off,
GERS and men who wanted to be at the
landing. We searched all the roads
from the FL Monte road south in vain,
and finally decided to come down by
ourselves.
Landed at Downey
We were sailing toward Downey,
having come down to the 150O-foot level
from our highest altitude of 1000 feet.
A piece Of plowed ground, protected
from the wind by fringe of WILLOWS
presented a chance to land without
pulling out the rip strip. and we came
down to it. Worden and Han poured
out sand so that the basket came down
to the ground without jar and re-
malned there while the valve was held
open to let the gas out.
The landing was made at l0:55
o'clock. near the Grant Bros. ranch,
two miles from Downey and about
fourteen miles from the armory. al
though the actual distance Travelled
was about twenty-three miles. j.
Clark, Clarence Dimmitt and others
living nearby aided in emptying the
envelope, and by the time the automo-
biles arrived the landing was over.
Dick Ferris drove his automobile to
the edge of the plowed ground, while
Mr.. Messenger came speeding up on
the other side of the field, and the men
tumbled out and ran up, their uniforms
making the ranchmen who had come
up believe that a sham battle was
about to be fought over the partly de-
fated balloon. After taking off the
valve, appendix and ring and Skin

stretched out to cool and thep arty re-

New P~OStmasters

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Presi-
dent sent to the senate today the
nomination of Peter j. Rogde for
postmaster at Sioux Falls, and Char
les F. Hackett. editor of the New
Era, postmaster at Parker. Both
nomir atoms were on the recommen-
datIon of Representatives Martin and
Burke. 1t is stated on good author
ity, the confirmation of these ap-
pointments will be opposed by Sena-
tors Gamble and Crawford.
The Parker postoffice appointment
is an old controversy. Hackett was
named for the place two and one
half years ago, but his confirmation
was prevented at that time by Sena-
tor Gamble. Then. when Represen-
atives Parker and Hall came to Con-
gress, they recommended the re-
appointment of Postmaster John D.
Cotton, but this was blocked by Sen
ator Kittredge. Since that time no
nomination has been made for the
Parker Office until today, when Hac-
kett's name was resubmitted to the
senate.

GOOD ROADS O
RURAL CAR RIERS
Department Orders Route Aban-
dOned Because of Bad
Road

Wakonda, Dec. Ia. That the post
office department was in dead earn
est when it issued an order requir-
ing that country roads be kept in
good condition if the farmers wish
to enjoy the privileges of rural mail
delivery, is shown by the fact that
Rural Carrier Doty. whose route
extends from Wakonda has been
instructed by the department to
abandon six miles of his route be-
cause of a blockade at one point in
the highway. Two great ridges Of
dirt were thrown up by a grader
used by the road overseer and left
without being smoothed, Even be-
fore the last thaw it was necessary
TO drive in the bitches, and now that
it has frozen up again the ridges
stand as almost unsurmountable
obstacles in the highway. This case
again illustrates the fact that if the
residents of the rural districts wish
to enjoy the advantages of free
rural mail delivery they must keep
the country roads in AS good condi-
ton as possible.
