Just about the beginning Of this

side and dashed along in front. right in
the center of the road. Its ears were
laid back. but every few seconds it

Of the motor was increased until it

race continued for almost Il mile and
a half At last an open gate into a
field appeared. and through this the ami,

The Tornado.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republc.l
North America is the tornado continent.
Ordinary storms are caused by move
ments of the air toward center of low
pressure. The air currents do not move
straight, as long spokes of a gigantic
wheel; the motion of the earth makes the
movement spiral. These great areas OF
spiral wind movement which bring rains
and snowstorms may be 1000 or more
miles in diameter. A tornado is a minor
whirlpool in some portion of the great and
relatively gentle whirl. For some reason
tornadoes are only formed in the southeast
quadrant of the great circles of the spiral
wind.
A tornado is only thunderstorm gone
wrong. Both result from the rapid rise of
moist and heated air into cooler strata.
The great, domed thunderheads - which
glow with coppery luster in the sky near
sunset in the summer time are masses of
vapor, condensed by the cool upper air
from the warm, uprushing current. When
circumstances are such that this air move
ment takes place about vertical instead
of horizontal axis tornado results. The
rapidity of the air movement near the
center is tremendous. An active tornado
of small diameter revolves twenty
tlEeo second. lIS ueSCrucCIVe power ~
thus easily understood.
Tornadoes only form in prairie regions.
Mountain ranges break up the kind Of air
movements necessary to ''breed' them.
They are practically unknown in the trop-
les. Marrow continents like South America
do not have them; the "cyclone," or gen.
eral spiral movement toward the center of
low pressure, moves off the land before it
develops to the point where the tornado has
chance to form.
Their occurrence is unpredictable. Many
of the most interesting facts concerning
them cannot be observed. Their strength
may only be guessed at, since no instru-
ment known could survive the ordeal of an
attempt to record it. They are fearful and
wonderful examples of an inscrutable and
uncomfortable power. They affect only
the lower strata of the air, their upward
limit being few thousand feet.

The Boy Corn Growers.

Louisville Courer-Journal.]
All Kentucky has reason to be pleased
with the results achieved by the members
of the boys corn clubs during the year
1912.
Prize winners in forty -one counties have
averaged 108 bushels of corn to the acre.
In fifty seven counties the boys have aver
aged over 100 bushels, and Commissioner
Newman says more than 500 boys have
averaged more than sixty bushels to the
acre. An Owen County boy made the
record crop, but he did 80 at financial
loss and thereby will not attain the State
championship. The object of the compe-
tition is not merely to grow great guam
tity Of corn, but to grow it profitably.
The Owen County boys record crop is
1853 bushels, but it cost him $500 to produce
it. A Warren County boy, on the contra
ry, raised 148 bushels on his acre of ground
and did it at an expense Of approximately
1213 cents bushel. A jefferson County
boy grew 146 bushels; a Pulaski County
boy, 40; Hardin County boy, 1872; a
Laurel County boy and Green County
boy, 100 each; Larue County boy, 1926;
an Owen County boy, 1872; Meade County
boy, 100, and SO on through the list, good
records being made in every section of the
State and nearly half of the 120 counties
being represented.
This year the organization of the clubs
should be extended to every county in the
State. Business men in the county seat
towns should encourage their formation
and teachers in the rural schools should
endeavor to enlist their boy pupils in the
enterprise. There should be encourage
ment also for the girls tomato clubs, which
are highly desirable adjunct to the corn
growing organizations. These movements
are progressive and educative and of vast
Importance to the welfare of the State.

Lake Charles American Press: Politi-
cal spite work is at the bottom of most new
newspaper ventures in Louisiana, rather
than legitimate enterprise. And neither
politics nor spite work ever sustained a
newspaper. No newspaper can exist in
any community without the support of the
business men and others who do not make
politics life study. Business men would
find it much cheaper to subscribe lump
sum direct to a politicians campaign fund
rather than to sustain his newspaper cor
gan" from one campaign to another. The
support they lend to such ventures de-
prives the legitimate newspaper of part
of its revenue and initiates against their
own interest.
