DIR. HARMS ADDRESS.
Large Audience of Men and Boys
Hear Interesting Talk Sunday
Afternoon.
Sumter Item, 14th.

Sumter Item, 14th.
There was large audience OF men
and boys present Sunday afternoon at
o'clock to hear the address deliver
ed by DR.. J. Henry Harms, president
of Newberry College, at Newberry
The address proved most eloquent
and inspiring one and the speaker
held the undivided attention of his
audience for the fifty minutes that he
smoke
The title of DR. Harms talk was
most rninue. "The House That Jack
Puilt." and many in his audience were
anxions to see how he would eXDand
it into a religious lecture His subject
v'oe character building and he show
cd how every man was what he made
! himsn1f. acnording to the material he
used in his building.
Or. Harms commenced his lecture
! hv telling his audience thPt the men
cf the nresent dav were too far re-
moved from childhood they were sep
arated from the ideals and ambitions
of childhood, they we've too far re-
moved from their children and did
not take sufficient interest in those
+h:noe that interested their children
He told of how one could find enjov-
ment in the reading of the old
; "Goosie" rhvmes which were so dear
TO childish hearts. He told one Of his
friends had been forever freed from
nessimism by reading one of the lit
tie iing1es. and how the same treat
ment would cure others Of the blues
He then went on to show how the
little Jingle about ''The House That
lack Puilt" was expanded and ap-
nlied it to the building Of ones char
acter Good material must be used
tho timbers must be solid, they must
be straight and square, he said. The
tools must be purpose, a plan and
perseverance. The speaker quoted
from many authors and brought into
his talk many interesting anecdotes
ond incidents, throughout a wide
range of subjects, applying them tc
his points in an apt and interesting
manner.
Dr.. Harms made deep impression
on his audience by his address, Whlcn
no doubt will be the means of much
future thought in the minds OF those
who heard him, as there was much
tn think about in what he said. II
he ever comes to Sumter again he VII
meet with an extremely favorable re-
ception, so heartily was his audience
nleased with him Sunday afternoon.

PHENOMENA OF AIR.
Conner Explains The Eccentricities
of the Wind Family.
Carnical
r. S. G..
Kansas City Star.

Kansas CITY STAR.
What is a tornado? A cyclone? A
hurricane? A gale? And why?
Col P. Connor, of the Kansas City
Weather Bureau, has received those
inquiries many times of late.
"It's all matter of barometric
pressure, Mr.. Connor elucidates.
There are very few violent atmos-
pheric disturbances in the winter
time, because the atmosphere is pref
ty we'll chilled to the same temper
ature. But in the springtime the hot
and cold strata of air become ner-
vous. Then follows rarifed centre
in some locality.
"Now it must be known that air par
ticles are very sensitive and selfish as
we'll. So that when such a rarifica-
ton takes place all those air particles
on the outside want to get in there
and take the seats in the front row.
When they all get started toward the
centre a gentle whirling motion is set
up, always moving in the opposite d1-
rection of clock hands.
THAT movement is a cyclone. 1t
sweeps over an area of 1000 miles or
so at a rate of 80, 40, so Or so miles
an hour. Those movements drop an
occasional thunder storm or two
along the way. Were it not for these
cyclones this great Western country
would be arid and dry, for they al
ways carry the clouds along with
them that contain the rain.
''The tornado? Well, down in the
southeastern quadrant of the cyclone
probably 100 or 200 miles from the
centre of the cyclone, Old Sol is
warming up the earth. The earth's
heat is thrown back in turn and
warns the atmosphere and it be-
comes light. And all the while this
whirling motion of the cyclone con-
tinues, bringing down the colder,
heavier air. When this light, heated
air bumps into the cold wave there
is nothing left for the cold air to do
except drop. And with he dropping
it sets off along the earth at fast
pace in a whirling, rapid movement,
while the warm air goes scooting up
to the clouds.
'That is the tornado. 1t shoots
along at the rate of an express train
and roars like 100 locomotives putting
and snorting together. And woe be-
tide the house that gets in the way.
Finally the disconnected bunch Of air
layers go on up into the northern part
of the cyclone. There they get cool
ed off and calm down.
"a sale is just a plain old breeze
hat ects rp a steady, hard speed. 1t
changes to a hurricane when it pass
IS the -O-mile-an-hour mark. Never
cot frightened at cyclone-but look
ut for the -tttle fight between the air
layers when they bump.

of teaching amateurs the art of
swimming.
In her swimming lessons Miss
Trap never neglects the hfe-saving
feature, and the above picture is a
part Of that lesson. She knows that
men and women, when in the deadly
fear of drowning, lose control Of their
wits and almost always try to seize
the rescuer around the neck; thus
endangermg both.
Her method, as shown in the pho
tOgTaph, is to shut off the breath Of
the frenzied victim at the nostrils and
the wind-pipe. The pressure on the
abdomen assists in relaxing the body
and after that it is easy for the res
cuer to take the one in danger ashore.

Farm Credit Bill Initiated.

Professor Berrigan of Norman, Ok
has filed with the secretary of state
bill which proposes to get money
for farmers at the very lowest poss-
ible interest rates II is estimated
that long time mort ge loans can
be obtained at about four per cent
and short time loans at about 8 per
cent. The chief provisions of the bill
are as follows
First. A state agricultural bank
for the purpose of securing money
for farmers at the lowest possible in
terest rates. Second The issue and
sale of five million dollars worth, or
more as may be needed, of state ag-
ricutural bonds, issued by the state,
the money from the bonds to be
loaned to farmers TO long time real
estate mortgage security, at the low
est possible interest rates, without
fees, bonuses or commissions Of any
kind. Third - Authorizing farmers
cooperative loan banks for farmers,
laborers and others, authorizing said
banks to receive deposits and to loan
said deposits to members only on
personal security, but without profit
to the bank.
No question before the people is Of
so vital Importance as the question
of farm credits. And in no other
state is the question pressing so hard
for immediate answer as in Oklaho-
ma, where upward Of sixty millions
- G. ~
will mature in from one to five years,
and with no possibility whatever of
their being paid in that time, nccessi-
tating endless worry, expense, com
missions bonuses, and eXhorbitant in
terest rates, rates so high that only
an unusual run Of luck will enable
the farmer to pay out
1t is up TO the farmers now to wake
up and get busy. DO you know that
1t takes nearly the entire wheat crop
of Oklahoma to pay the interest on
your farm loans, not to speak Of your
short time loans? You can save more
than half of this, If all pull together
and push this bill Every farmer
must help, owner and renter alike.
Fifty men are needed in each county
