Mrs. Clara Wilson Koons passed
away about ten O'Clock Sunday eve
ming, at her home in this town.
Mrs. Koons had been in poor health
for months, and sustained an opera
ton in October, but did not regain

to the family and her friends.
The deceased was 62 years of
age, a daughter of the late Thomas
j. and Adeline Kirk Wilson, and was
born at the family homestead,
Maple Lawn" near Rising Sun.
She was from girlhood a consistent

church work, the Sunday School,
Bible Glass, w. c. T. U., and
kindred activities.
On June 10, 1896, she was mar
ried to Rev. w. G. Koons, pro-
minent minister of the Wilmington

Rising Sun, $4,000; Land for

Are we spending too much for
education? President Hoover rec
emily stated that the principal fac
tors in the recent incrtase in
productivity in the Unitd States are
human, rather than material, and
specified that educaus1n is one of the
major influences which has brought
about gain in the economic efficiency
of our citizenship.
A broad vision of the influence of
education suggests that instead of
constituting an economic loss, money
expended in good schools partakes
both of the nature of sound invest
ment and of insurance protection.
Such expenditure is an investment,
in that il creates the intelligence
upon which an efficient economic
system must be based. Ignorant
citizens make neither good pro-
ducers nor good consumers.
The economic superiority of the
United States and the high standard
of living which we are able to main
tain are tke result of efficient Or
ganization, intelligent cooperation
among the workers, and the use of
labor saving machinery. Each of
these is dependent upon the main
tenance of high general level OF
social intelligence, which is one OF
the products of an efficient. system Of
education.
Viewed in this light, money spent
for education is an investment of the
highest order. Next week there will
be some interesting tables in this
paper showing the cost of education
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

VIOLENT ELECTRICAL STORM
Much Damage Done In This
Immediate Section

center of a violent electrical storm
on Friday afternoon, between four
and five o'clock, as more damage
was done in this immediate vicinity
than any other section. The storm

more than fifteen minutes, but was
accompanied by wind OF cyclonic
velocity. sharp electric discharges, a
deluge OF ram, and considerable
nail.
The dwelling of Calvin Reynolds,
ON Cherry street, was struck by
lightning during the storm, and
badly damaged, but was not set on
fire. A large section of the roof
was torn away, weather boarding
ripped of and one of the main tim
bers shattered. The bolt jumped
from the corner OF the house to a
large pine tree in the yard, and en-
Cered the ground, cutting a deep,
narrow cash in the tree from a
height OF about twenty feet. Oc-
cupants of the house were not
injured.
On the farm of William Reynolds,
Just west of town, nineteen trees
were uprooted or twisted off, and
a section of metal roof ripped from
his barn.
Silos on the farms OF q. IA.
Cameron and Waiter M. Cameron,
Just south of town, were blown
down and completely demolished.
Muck other damage of a minor
nature was done in this section In
the path of the storm, which ap-
peared to be not more than two
miles wide, as there was very little
rain at West Nottingham on the
south of us or Sylmar on the north.
