JUNE WEATHER REPORT
BY U. S. Department Of Agriculture
Weather Bureau

Continued warm, wet weather
made June one Of the finest crop
growing months in the history OF
Kansas, according to the reports OF
1870 stations of the Weather Bureau,
whose daily observations covered
conditions in every county.
Temperatures were above normal
almost continually, the monthly aver
age being the highest for June In
three years time, though there were
no unusually hot days. The high
est reported was 101 degrees Mt Be-
lott and Republic on the 21th ana
the lowest Al degrees at Wallace ON
the 3rd. There was somewhat less
than the usual amount OF sunshine.
Rains fell with great frequency
and were well distributed over the
state. The average for the eastern
division was $50 inches; the middle
division, 400 inches; the western
division. $40 inches; and for the
entire state, $40 inches, which Is
O.S1 inch above normal and the
most moisture that has fallen In
Kansas in any month since June,
1915. Practically all the state, ex-
cent the north central and some
western counties, had more than
inches and only few localities fell
below 2 inches. The greatest amount
reported was 1886 inches at Usage
City and the least LOS inches at Re
public. Measurable rain fell on IL
days, taking the average for the
State, which is so per cent above
normla.
Corn was 9 to weeks behind the
season as the month began. but made
rapid growth and at the close was
in good to excellent condition and
tasseling, except in the north CEN
tral and northwest counties. In
many localities in the northern third
Of the state its condition could
scarcely have been improved upon as
it had a deep green, healthy color
and was growing rapidly. Generally
1t was clean, though cultivation had
been delayed by wet fields and the
press of other farm work.
Wheat ripened rapidly as a result
Of the high temperatures and har-
vest was finished in the eastern half
and in full swing in the western as
the month ended, with threshing
starting in many places. Oats were
nearly all cut in the eastern third.
The first crop of alfalfa was secured
but not until much had been dam
aged by rains. Truck crops general
ly did fine.

WHAT TEN YEARS SHOW
Abilene Banks Have Nearly Million
More Than 1911

The bank statements published this
week by the Abilene banks show a
total deposit of $1,911,726. This is
well below the peak Of year ago
when the deposits Of all banks were
higher than for years, due largely to
the high prices Of all commodities
and the large volume Of loans. For
six months farmers have sold grain
moderately and that at lower prices
while deposits have been drawn upon
for daily needs until harvest. Now
the deposits are below normal but
gaining as the new crop comes in.
Going back to June, 1911, the total
of the Abilene banks was
s11ss.382. about 100000 less than
now. showing how prosperous has
been this section. Normal deposits
would now show far more than a-mil-
lion dollars more than decade ago.

The question of handling the

a problem that almost every town Is

lead our fair land into a career of
intolerance and fan into a flame the
smouldering embers of religious op-
preston. The keeping of Sabbath
is religious duty, and like all relig-
ious duties is rendered, not to the
state, but to God.
Its observance is therefore not de-
Unable by Congress. Should Congress
pass law enforcing the religious
dogma of a Sababth, this will not be
the end. Other religious legislation
will follow. and where the end would
be no human foresight can foretell.
Think of the hopeless sea of uncer-
tainty, unseemly wrangling, and be-
wildering perplexity, which will be
thrown upon Congress and c6hrts in
their vain efforts to define acts of ne
eessity and charity, decide how every
business of every kind shall be con-
Quoted, and just how every man under
all the varied circumstances of life,
deprived by law of the right to follow
his own conscience, shall keep the day
Of rest which Congress has decided is
holy.
Further, the Sabbath commandment
is only one of the precepts of the
bible. For example, the word de-
clares that the tenth of our income
shall be holy unto the Lord. This is
as plain as the Sabbath precept. Their
there is the Lords supper. Shall this
be enforced by national legislation
If not, why not? And what about the
Lords prayer? 1t is surely a gooc
thing to pray. Shall we have a Law
enforcing this prayer at the end of {
Ipoliceman's baton? Then there i:
baptism, an institution of the church
Established by the Lord himself. Shall
Congress make a law enforcing thi.
holy ordinance? True. all are no
agreed as to the mode of baptism, bu
it is as much the province of Congress

Until the 7th of March, unless the
school board calls an extra session.
Now, its mighty hard to make a
school teacher go without his or her
salary for two months. The Star has
been accused of being mean to the
teachers, but it has never advocated
anything so raw as that. Many OF
them will have TO stand off their
board bills and other accounts. and
probably some of them will have to
borrow money or go broke. We do
not criticise the law, but think il
should have gone into effect at the
beginning of the term and the teach
ers informed of it. We do not think
our people approve of such hardship
being inflicted on the teachers. and
advise the school board to hold ar
extra session at once and give the
teachers their money.

Since. hiring a young lady at this
Office we have put in force some
stringent rules upon the boys. There
is severe penalty upon profane
swearing, no splitting on the floor is
allowed and everybody has to wash
their faces at least once day wheth-
er it is needed or not. The office devil
is now referred to as the skid" OF
"goofy," and the only oaths allowed
are those necessary in making out at
fidavits for legal publications and the
statement of ownership, and genera
atmosphere of reform pervades the
whole shop from the editor down. Il
is wonderful what influence "sweet
young thing" has upon the male gen
der around a printing office.-Arcadis

influences on the job about two year:

to define the mode Of baptism as
which day is the Sabbath and the
manner of its observance. To enforce
any of these sacred institutions by law
would destroy the very purpose for
which they are diyinely instituted,
and would tend to nculcate Journalism
ard hypocrisy rather than real Chris
tianity. The same is true of Sabbath
keeping under duress of civil law.

The county teachers feel like they
have just cause of complaint. The
county board, at one of its recent

the first Tuesday in the month. The
teachers were paid off Jan. A. last.
