Disastrous Hail Storm
Sweeps Across County

A disastrous nail storm swept
across Phillips county Monday AFTER
noon from the west end, going out
the southwest corner. According to
reports, much damage was done in
the vicinity Of Haxtun and Paoli.
The storm did not reach far north
OF Holyoke and extended to the hills
on the south. The country north to-
ward Amherst escaped and the storm
extended but short distance east
of town. The north edge of the
storm when it passed from the state
seemed to be about four miles south
of the d. L. D. and the Bradford
ranch In Yuma county was at the
south edge. Hilltop. Amitie, Pleas
ant Valley and Northwest commu-
mites were hailed. OF course, like
all hail storms, the damage was done
in streaks, some farms in the direct
path escaping with slight loss.
In Holyoke. the south part of town
seemed to be hit hardest, gardens
in the northern and eastern parts
coming through in better shape.
While much small grain was des-
troyed. and some corn set back. 1t is
thought that great deal of the lat
ter crop will come out all right.

NEW WARNING SIGNAL
FOR HIGHWAYS URGED

At recent meeting OF the Nation
al association Of Road Builders the
subject OF danger signals on the high
ways of the couutrywas discussed a.
much length.
Several OF the speakers advocated
the elimination OF advertising signals
and all other boards along the roads
which obstruct the view OF drivers
II was suggested by speaker from
Illinois tnat new signal which con.
tains no lights or mechanism be
adopted by the association as a stan
dard for all the states.
This signal. which has been in use
In the middle western states for the
last four years is said to be a posi-
tive danger marker. II works by
throwing back light from the lamps
OF automobiles and other vehicles In
the form OF powerful red glare.
The Denver Motor club Is now
testing one OF the new warning sig
nails on q particularly sharp turn in
Bear Creek canyon. Two OF the sig.
mails also have been installed ON the
bridge over Cherry creek on the ap-
proach to the Fourteenth street via.
