HIT BUGGY WHEN TURNING
CORNER-NO ONE INJUREI

While turning south at the cor.
nef OF Second and Broadway in his
car Sunday afternoon, E. l.. Van
trees struck the hind wheel of a
buggy. The occupants were thrown
out of the buggy but no one was
injured except for a few bruises
The accident was merely the fault
oil a miscalculation. IMr. Vantrees
turned the corner squarely and ex-
peeted to go around the left side
OF the buggy but when he saw that
he would strike the vehicle he lam
med on the brakes. The bumper of
the car struck the hind wheel of
the buggy fitting it so that the oc-
cupants, Mrs. Harry McNeal and
two children were rolled out on |
the pavement. However, all three
escaped injury and no harm was
done otherwise than slight dam-I
age to the buggy, which was caused
by the horses running away.
The horse ran around the blocl,
and stopped in front of the Abilene
Mercantile. When the car struck
the buggy the horse was neither tied
nor did anyone have hold of the
reins. 1t might have proved a SER
ious accident but as Mr.. vantrees
was driving quite slowly and put
on the brakes hurriedly the acct
dent resulted in only a scare and
shakeup for the occupants

VACATION TRIPS COST MORE
California and Colorado Fares Show
Generous Hike

Just what effect the present high
cost of living, increased taxes. and
the war will have on tourist traffic
this season is still an uncertain
question. Although the rates have
been slightly increased this year,
railroad officials believe that as
many people will seek rest and re-
taxation as ever.
The round trip fare to California
is s60.50 this year. This is slightly
in excess of last years rate. An
increase of $3.50 has been made in
the round trip fare to Colorado
Springs, Pueblo and Denver. The
excursion rates east to Chicago re-
main practically the same.
Although these exclusion rates are
higher this year than they were
last year, they are considerable low
er than the regular rates.
1t is expected that many Abilene
ties will spend the summer months
away from home. Local agents re-
port little or no travel south during
the summer months but that many
people flee to the cool breezes of
the north to escape the blistering
effects of Kansas sun.

THE MESSAGE OF EASTER.

The majority of the American people take the Easter
celebration somewhat lightly They listen attentively to
the words Of the preacher and more or less moved
according to temperament But with all the style parades
and striking Clothes the frivolous side is some
what prominent.
Over in Europe Easter is something very different
this year. In the great fighting COUNTRIES the majority
of families have suffered the loss of some one from their
own hearthstone. Others the firing line likely to
be called to pass at any moment Under that atmos
phere Easter has few festal aspects.
Over there millions throng the churches hoping for
some message Of hope to fill their dark lives The
sage Of confidence which the fathers have passed on to
us is heard with hungry and will be cherished for
many day.
More and the tendency Of thoughtful men is to
accept the Easter message of resurrection and fumen
which the Bible brings There time when the edu
Gated and scientific world scoffed at the idea Of any
fidence in future life The educated world pays more
respect today to the value Of the gospel story and it is
the ignorant and unthinkng, the money getters and
materialists, who the doubters.
All philosophy goes to confirm the truth of Casters
message If there be not future life to adjust
wrongs of this one the world is indeed mockery and
Justice is not in it. It is impossible to conceive of maker
of the universe who should not bring to full tion any
life that manfests desire for truth and righteousness.

CRAZY DEEDS OF VIOLENCE.

From many localities coming reports that suggest
the work of foreign sympathzers Me caught trying
to make their way toward munton plants, stores of
posives government property public buildings. There
are many reports of bomb explosions.
The majority of these cases may not be the work Of
any organized spy system There always loose in the
community a considerable body of weak minded men.
They take too seriously the talk of sensational newspa
pers and get wild ideas into their heads They conceive
the notion that by deed of violence they help
on some more less visionary cause.
The European has been strain alien resi-
dents National passions flare up, and many bar room
quarrel starts in argument Many people with low
mentality are hysterical it. They have friends in
the contending armies They are in state of mental
perturbation and by long broodng they become tempted
toward insane acts.
Some of these attempts may not be from any purpose
to destroy life The idea may simply be to inspire
fear to terrorize neghborhood to give the impress
sion that there dangerous forces among to which
we must give heed
But if many Of these attempts those of weak
minded persons they just dangerous Every crazy
starts out other unbalanced persons to commission Of
like deeds Some terrible disaster is quite likely to hap
pen Indeed the munton plant explosions have already
taken large toll of human life 1t is time for vigilance

GARDENING FOR PREPAREDNESS.

Preparedness is not simply matter of guns and am
munition and military training 1t is also question Of
food supplies These short in the United States and
the fighting countries now.
In hearing appeals for preparedness resist foreign
INVASION most people think it necessarily big
thing. They suppose they asked to enter training
camps enlist in the army. If they can't do that they
settle back and conclude they do nothing toward the
cause.
There many sides of preparedness other than the
strictly military phases of it. 1t national efficiency
along thousand lines. The who raises food pro-
ducts helps in very vital way toward this end He is
providing of the first requisites toward military
power Even if he grows only enough vegetables to sup
ply his family by doing he avoids depicting the general
stocks
If there could be this general cultivation
of back yard gardens and vacant lots it would help
mendously in the present situation that confront
It would reduce the price of supplies to the army shall

the settlement of this conflict With abundant food

A COMPLETE MOBILIZATION.

In these days of uncertainty with clouds ready

The mobilization of army and navy will fill many

be spilled in vindication of the for which have
