Data Gathered From Volunteers
at Many Points.

Only ten persons are employed -
Kansas by the weather bureau of the
United States department of asricul-
ture to divulge weather information
to the 100000 residents of the state.
The bureau has an efficient system OF
furnishing information which is SIM
liar to that of national press assocta-
tons providing newspapers with tele-
graph news.
The weather forecasts are distrsh-
uted in three ways by mail, telephone
and telegraph. They all reach their
point of destination not later than
early in the afternoon of the day is
sued. They describe the weather
promised for the next twenty.four
hours. A total of 1887 forecast cards
are mailed daily from thirty differ
ent towns in Kansas.
Forecasts Made by Phone
The forecasts are made known by
telephone from sixty-seven points.
B. r. Laskowski, assistant state
meteorologist, has statistics in his Of
flee showing that 164,916 residents zee
ceive these reports daily.
Forecasts are telegraphed to four
teen Kansas cities and weather flags
are displayed at these points. Per-
sons at las points record the daily
temperatures and precipitation and
send the reports to the state office OF
the bureau in the New England build
ing at Topeka. The officials can then
tell at a glance what weather condis
lions have prevailed in the recent
period. Eaa
The temperatures and precipitation
are recorded and reported by volun-
teers. School teachers, laborers,
farmers, merchants and priests take
the data. They do this work for the
benefit of the public and the adYer-

Can Trace Down Errors.
The state officials of the bureau
can easily trace down to within a
margin of five degrees a mistake made
in recording the temperatures. A mis-
take usually means an unusual de-
parture at nearby points. The Off.
Gals can also trace similar mistakes
in reports of rains and SHOWS.
There is another phase of the work
of the bureau in emergencies with
which the general public IL not ac-
quainted. When a cold wave makes
its appearance the bureau issues cold
wave warning. These warnings often
enable farmers to save their livestock.
These warnings are issued from twelve
Kansas cities.
Reports on the stage of rivers at
certain points are also taken and the
bureau sends out flood warnings when
danger is apparent.
The weather bureau furnishes in.

tablished.

JaIr's Daughter
While He was thus speaking, a
Ruler came up and profoundly bowling
said,
''NIy daughter is just dead; but
come and put your hand upon her a9d
| she will return to life"
And Jesus rose and followed him, as
did also His disciples.
A Woman cured
But woman who for twelve years
had been afflicted with haemorrhage
came behind Him and touched the
tassel of His cloak: for she said to
herself,
IF I but touch His cloak. I shall
be cured."-
And Jesus turned and saw her, and
said,
Take courage, daughter; your faith
has cured you.'
And the woman was restored to
health from that moment.
jars Daughter restored TO Life
! Entering the Rulers house, Jesus
, saw the flute-players and the crowd
loudly wailing, and He said,
go out of the room; the little girl
is not dead, but asleep"
And they laughed at Him. When
however the place was cleared of the
crowd. Jesus went in, and on HIS
taking the little girl by the hand, she
rose up. And the report of this
spread throughout all that district.
Two blind Men receive Sight
AS Jesus passed on, two blind men
followed Him. shouting and saying,
PITY US, Son of David"
And when He had gone indoors,
they came to Him.
DO you believe that can do this p"
He asked them.
Eyes, Sir" they replied.
So He touched their eyes and said,
According to your faith let it be
to you"
Then their eyes were opened. And
assuming a stern tone Jesus said to
them.
BE careful to let no one know"
But they went out and published
His fame in all that district.
A dumb Mailman cured
And as they were leaving His
presence dumb demoniac was
brought to Him. When the demon
was expelled. the dumb man could
speak. And the crowds exclaimed in
establishment,

Two Gadarene Demoniacs cured

Two GadaEene DemOntac6 cured
On His arrival at the other side, in
the country of the Gadarenes, there
met Him two men possessed by
demons, coming from among the
tombs: they were SO dangerously
fierce that no one was able to pass
that way. They cried aloud.
What hast Thou to do with us.
Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come
here to torment US before the timer"
Now at some distance from them a
vast herd of swine were feeding. So
the demons entreated Him.
IF Thou drivest us out" they said,

Then they came out from the men
and went into the swine, whereupon

the cliff into the Lake and perished
in the water. The swine-herdS fled,
and went and told the whole story In

they besought Him to leave their
country. Accordingly He went on

own town.

The Call of Matthew
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man

Follow me-"
And he arose. and followed Him.
And while He was reclining at table,

The Disciples Neglect OF Fasting
At that time Johns disciples came
and asked Jesus,

"Can the bridegroom's party

About that time Jesus exclaimed,

Lord of Heaven and of earth, that
Thou hast hidden these things from
sages and men OF discernment, and
hast unveiled them to babes. Yes,
Father. for such has been Thy

lowly in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls. For it is good to bear
my yoke. and my burden is light"
A Charge Of misunderstanding
About that time Jesus passed on the
Sabbath through the wheatfields; and
His disciples became hungry, and
began to gather ears of wheat and
eat them. But the Pharisees saw it
and said to Him.
"Lookl your disciples are doing
what the Law forbids them to do on
the sabbath"
Have YOU never read" He replied,
what David did when he and his men
were hungry? how he entered the
House of God and ate the Presented
Loaves. which it was not lawful for
him or his men to eat, nor for any
except the priests Il Sam. xxi. 1-6)?

Then He said to the man,

 EMPIRE THEATRE
 As wholesome, breezy and rapid a comedy as the screen has unfo1ded in years is the new Rupert Hughes pie ture, Come on Over," disclosed at the Empire theatre last night and which will be on view today. It is screen fun at it's highest point of achievement and the public should thank MT. Hughes, the Goldwyn com pany, the director and the excellent cast for an hour of pure fun.
 When Rupert Hughes writes about the Irish, their humor and their characterizations he is always anus ing and interesting. In this picture he Hold Your Horses" and From the Ground Up," distinctively Irish pie lures, and in Scratch My Back and ''The Old Nest.'
