years illness.
The present-day system of daily
weather forecasts, with which every
portion of the United States, howev-
er remote, is now thoroughly famil-
lar, is the outgrowth of weather pre-
diction service, which Prof. Able es-
tablshed locally in Cincinnati, wien
he was the director Of the observatory
there in 1869. His death recalls
many interesting details of this early
history of weather forecasts. The 'uc-
cess of his weather prediction scheme
led some OF his friends to introduce
resolution calling upon congress
to establish a national bureau of
storm warnings for the benefit Of
commerce BY Joint resolution on
Feb. 4, 1870, such a bureau was es-
tablished all OF the important feat
ures of Prof. Abbe's work at Cincin-
natl being adopted Since then the
weather service has been extended
each year until the United States bu-
reau came to rank first among such
services in the world and Prof. Able
himself came to be known as the
worlds foremost meteorologist Even
though past 20 years of age, he con-
tinued in the government weather ser
vice to edit the monthly weather re-
view.

tral committee held meeting yester-
day afternoon at the court house. The

the county. Among those who are
planning to take long country trips
in cars to convey speakers are T. J..
Pollock, Marian Pierce and Scott
Sparks
The committee is planning to visit
every voting place in the county dur
ing the final week OF the campaign
and on Monday. the day prior TO the
election, an advantage will be taken
of the assembling Of big crowds in
Ardmore to do some effective adver-
tising
The news that Congressman Carter
would be here to spend a couple of
days in the county was greeted with
applause and an expression OF graft
tude was heard for the generosity of
the state committee in sending some
good speakers to the county.
Absolute harmony prevails in the
county, the committeeman are eager
for work and the result will be the
greatest democratic majority the
county has had since statehood.
