Storm Sweeps Across Four States;
Most Damage at Great Bend, Kan.
<j _
GREAT BEND, Kansas., Nov. 10.-Twelve persons
were killed and more than one hundred injured, many of
them seriously, in a cyclone which swept through the
residence section of Great Bend at 7:30 o'clock tonight.
The property loss is estimated at a half million dol-
lars. The city watei* plant, a laundry, three flouring
mills, the Santa Fe depot, and fifty residences were de-
molished. Santa Fe passenger train No. 5 narrowly es-
caped the path of the twister which swept through the
southern part of the city.
Several thousand sheep were killed, the animals be-
ing hurled.into the air as the cyclone struck their feeding
place. The city tonight is in total darkness and without
water supply.
Every available man tonight is tearing through the
debris in an effort to release many imprisoned.
Great damage was done to the country southwest of
here, from which direction the cyclone approached with-
out warning.
Many of those injured were caught in their homes,
which were picked up from their foundations and twisted
and crushed into a mass of debris.
At a late hour tonight a list of those killed and in-
jured were not available, due to the confusion.
The cost of keeping a calf
during its first four weeks is
nearly double that of any other
four-week period of its life.

To whom it may concern:
I, as secretary of the Davenport Cemetery Association, wish to announce that there will be neta a
mass meeting on Tuesday night in the Masonic Hall, to revive this association, for the beautifying ol
the Davenport Cemetery. I urge everyone interested to be present. ^
Once upon a time this association was prosperous, and bought about fifty dollars worth ot trees,
planted them in the cemetery and made a fairly good looking place out of it. About this time Mrs.
Craig, the chairman of the association, moved away, and I was visiting in Panama, so things naturally
came to a stand still. There will be a re-election of officers at the meeting Tuesday night. A large

Children should not be allow j
ed to spend the evenings on the i
streets, nor allowed lo go to |
parties through the week. And
it would be much better if they
were not allowed to go to them
at all while school is going on.
We are doing our beet to give
you a good school, but the best
we cau do will be a failure with
out your help. You should see
tha* your boys and git Is come
straight home after school every
evening. To allow them to do
as they are now doing will lower
the efficiency of the school by
half; and they are forming
habits that will disqualify them
utterly as good citizens when
they get to he men and women.
Let us save the boys and the
girls. The world needB MKN
