Rev. w. H. Schrock took for his
subject "The Purpose and Value OF
Education" His text was taken from
Proverbs 2:7, which says: HE Lay
eth up Sound wisdom" After a
review of the value of education
he took up the question Of what the
future holds in store for all of US.
Education is to enable you to work
easier and better, 20 accomplish
things that you would not otherwise
accomplish or even try to accom-
plish," he said. "All men and wo7
men are influenced by their sur
roundings and unless you are able
to force your way through you are
liable to be led Astray by these in
fluences, and above all yu1 should
be able to resist all except the good
influences.
nBut there is more to education
that the mere knowledge OF culture
and a knowledge of the sciences
which you ofttlmes study because
you have too. The wise person
trains and exercises his intellect.
He seeks wisdom that he may be-
come wiser. He climbs the foot
hills that he may be able to ascend
the higher elevations further on.
He possess the spirit of inquiry, so
that he may understand the truths
that are within his reach. His ac-
tivities result in the development
of his powers which is another way
of saying that in this manner he
educates himself.
The senior class occupied seats
in the front of the theatre and fully
appreciated the splendid sermon OF
Rev. Mr.. Schrock.

RURAL CARKvEERS WILL
COUNT MAIL IN JLNE.

The rural mail carriers curt OF
Abilene have been notified that they
must, make a. count Of the n4Tmber
OF pieces and weight of the mail
which they carry during the YOnth
of June. At the same time the car
riers must count the number OF
pieces of mail in each class and also
count, the postage and make a fGll
report at the end Of the month.
: The order has been made by the
department with a view of deterntn-
ing how successful the new parcel
post system has been in this local
ity, and after possessing that knowl-
edge the department will know how
to better equip the rural carriers
for handling the increase in parcel
post packages which is bound to
come.
When the carriers send in their
reports at the close Of June It will
also be necessary for them to STATE
the kind of vehicle each one uses
ON his route, the number Of horses
and the time required to cover eacn
route.
Some time this fall It is likely
that the department will find it nee
essary to have each rural carrier
with vehicles that VIII af-i
ford more room for parcel post
packages.
The department recently made an
order that hereafter all rural mail
boxes must be painted red. Now an
other order has followed It which
Jays all carriers wagons when re-
painted must receive coats Of vermil-
ion red, and further provides that
when q carrier purchases q new
wagon 1t must be Of Eermillion red.
There is nothing in the order to
,ompel q carrier to repaint his old
wagon or buy a new one, but when
yer he does either he has to deal
altogether in red paint.

HAVE COMPLETED NEW
MAP OF THE CITY.

City Engineer Riddle has just
completed a new map of the city,
which will be used by the commits
sioners.. The map is compiled from
all records obtainable at the city
hall and the court house. 1t has,
besides the record lengths, the exact
measured lengths, of all lines used
as reference lines and the exact posi-
ton and character OF all monuments
set with notes of reference points.
This makes it possible for a sur
very, such as establishing lot lines,
to be made at the cost of about one
third less than what it would have
cost previous to the re-survey. Since
all surveys are based upon standard
lines and each one properly re-
corded, there should be no reason
for disputes OF boundary lines I'm
the future. Most OF the litigation
over boundary Tines is the result
OF insufficient records and an alb
sence of permanent monuments.

SOME RULES FOR
AVOIDING THOSE CYCLONES

| Unless yoH are unusually CIV
en- to worrying, don't bother about
tornadoes in the future. Give your
time to swattilg flies or dragging
the roads which are most import
ant. For-Uncle Sans word for It
the chances are 1900 to that
tornado does not hit Abilene. Think
Of that and why worry?
Little tornadoes have been plen-
tEtul in the state but they have
confined themselves to tearing down
a telephone pole or two or to scat
tering a barn. Nevertheless these
little tornado clouds are ugly look
ing and the weather department
has been bothered with letters and
callers and SO the following dope
about tornadoes has Just been is
sued for this section Of the United
States:
The probability of tornado strik-
ing one square mile is one-fourth of
per cent in 100 yards. This Is
figured on a basis of past exper-
fences.
Tornadoes occur between the
dates OF March Is and June 16.
A tornado always occurs in the
afternoon or evening. One has never
been known to occur in the morn
ing.
Tornadoes do damage only when
they come out Of the southeast cor
ner of a cyclone-an area Of low
pressure.
The morning preceding the occur
rance Of a tornado has tempera-
ture not lower than so or 20 de-
grees and the air is heavily humid.
A cyclone occurs on an average OF
every third day but that does not
mean a tornado. Cyclones are areas
of low pressure ranging from 500
to 1900 miles in diameter. Usually
not wind enough to blow your hat
off accompanies a cyclone and II It
were not for these cyclones Kansas
would not be great corn and wheat
state. "'S'st 6s~iA&"-4AAN
Cyclones take the same route. II
is not known why cyclones generate
tornadoes. The wind forming vac
uum causes the trouble, Houses ex-
plode as a result for when a torna-
do comes It sucks the air from about
the house and the air inside ex-
pands and wrecks the structure.
Maybe you thought the wind simply
blew the house down? Well then
reader you were mistaken. A strong
wind does that--a tornado never.
Tornadoes travel from southwest
to northeast and IL you see one
coming directly at you, light out and
run northwest. You may get out of
the road II you are fleet. II you
see you can't make it, lie down and
cling to weeds or grass. A cyclone
cellar, II rightly constructed is the
safest escape. But have 1t where
you can reach 1t easily. 4.
