NEAR COLD WAVE
HAS HIT KANSAS.
Predicts 10 Degree Temperature IN
State This Week.

Yesterday, the warmest December
in eight years. probably was the
end of the warm weather for this
year. The government yesterday
sent out cold wave warnings for the
Dakotas, Nebraska and west central
Iowa. Kansas is scheduled to get a
'near-cold wave" out Of the atmos-
pheric disturbances. BY tonight the
temperature is expected to be down
to ID degrees.
The maximum yesterday was 81
degrees, the highest since 1904,
when the thermometer registered
IS degrees on December 1. The
record for this date is sc degrees
in 1889.
THE rain yesterday, though it
didn't last long, was of great bene-
fit to the wheat crop. 1t was gener-
al through the state, and even
through the precipitation was small
it will help considerably. The wind
changed to the northwest yesterday
afternoon and was blowing rs miles
an hour at o'clock last night. The
average temperature yesterday was
IL degrees above normal.
Another disturbance now off the
north Pacific coast, will move in
land about Tuesday, attended by
rains in the Pacific states and rain
and snow in the northwest. This
disturbance will prevail over the
middle west Wednesday or Thurs
day and the eastern states near the
end of the week. Rain in southern
and snow in northern districts, east
of the Rocky mountains and gen.
eral reaction to higher temperatures,
will precede and attend this dis
turbance.

GOSSIP OF SOCIETY.

The Sunday School Union met in
the Presbyterian church last even
ing. There we're about 70 teachers
and superintendents present. This
was the last meeting of the year and
the union has been of such value
to the teachers during the past that
all up to date teachers consider 1t
a necessity. The addition of an
adult class makes 1t possible for
Sunday schools who have not grad
ed lessons to enjoy the benefit of
the meetings. The lesson for adults
given by Rev. Schrock was excellent
and should not have been missed by
any adult teacher. Mr.. Bigler con-
Quoted the devotional services. The
last number Of a series of good
things the union was to have had
year was a talk on primary Plans
and Devices by Mrs. s. A. Chappell
Of Minneapolis. Mrs. Chappell gave
some new plans for cradle roll work
ers and some excellent blackboard
work, also songs for the primary
work. Mrs. Chappell was SO full
of useful plans and applicable de-
vices that the union greatly appre-
ciated her helpfulness. After the
class study period everyone was in
vited to the dining room Of the
church where the social committee
had arranged a surprise in honor
of the retiring president, Mrs. c..
A. Cole, who has so faithfully and
served the union for the
past two years. Mrs. Harry Taylor

cIent in every respect. Mrs. steen
was elected vice president. The

and it will be a year, lacking is
days, before the birds can lawfully
be hunted again. A number Of hunt
ers were out Saturday to take adj
vantage of the last day, but the
quail were scarce. The extremely
cold weather and heavy SHOWS Of

which accounts for their scarcity at
the present time. II this proves to
