WEATHER BULLETIN
(Copyrighted 1912 by W. T. Foster)
Washington D. C. June C.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts ol tfisturb-
ances to cross continent June 11 to
15, warm wave June 10 to 14, cool
wave June 13 to 17. Tlvf week of
this disturbance Is expected to aver-
age a little cooler than the previous
week. Occasional showers but a no-
ticeable decrease In rainfall, partic-
ularly In those sections where exces-
sive rains occurred In March, April
and May. • ,
Next disturbance will reach Paci-
fic coast about June 17, cross Pacific
slope by close of 18, great central
valleys 10 to 21. eastern sections 22.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about June 17, great central valleys
10, eastern sections 21. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about June
20, great central valleys 22, eastern
sections 2 1.
Unusually cool weather will be In-
augurated by ibis disturbance* and
some rain is expected where loss
rain occurod during
and May. Where no
wilt not be so cool,
facing great events in
than usual
March, April
rains occur It
We are now
eropwuather and these events, as 1
see It. will be of great importance.
No general crop failure Is expected
but in large sections corn and cotton
nnd other products that depend on
July nnd August weather will make
short crops. This of course will
greatly injure some people and great-
ly benefit others. In sections where
good crops will be produced unusual
prollts are assured.
But the consumer can not hope
for crops this year that will greatly
lower the cost of living and there-
fore economy should bo the watch-
word. But there is no danger in
suffering for food. Our physicians
say that we eat too much wnd per-
haps a little economy might Improve
health.
Those who are Interested In cot-
ton, corn and other products should
not over look the civil wars in Mex-
ico und Cuba. While those people
fight they must be fed and they are
not producing food stuffs while they
are fighting. This condition will
surely increase the demand for our
farm and plantation products.
As the winter wheat crop will bo
short much will depend on the spring
wheat sections. As a rule these
have started under splendid condi-
tions although a little late in some
sections. Generally the spring wheat
sections hold moisture well and that
promises fair crops even where it
may be dry during latter part of the
growing season.
1 am preparing to publish through
the newspeapers, that publish my
work, a general forecast of the crop-
weather of 1913, :n order that pro-
ducers and dealers may luive tl'e
benefit of my calculations before
time for plmul ig an I h' wjog. 1 may
not get this reu'iy before wheat sow-
ing next fall but v.ill try to do so.
By this means 1 will add aiiiiual
forecasts to my i 'vsent publications
which will then consist of finical,
monthly and daily f irecpnts.
During *he last six mcnths I'huve
made great improvements in my
methods, "nut wi!' not he able to get
these improfoments into my fc.re-
casts before October. I regret that
1 can not furiis'i yll newspapers
with these forecasts and therefore
all who are Interestel should sub-
scribe to the papers.' that i ul liali ny
work.

hundred years old, and has been

PERKINS IN SHERMAN.
State Senator Tom W. Perkins of
McKinney delivered an address Sat-
urday in Sherman in the interest of
his candidacy for Congress. Mr.
Perkins' platform is in part as fol-
lows:
. In favor of a revenue taiiff.
in favor of removing tariff pro-
tection from raw materials.
For an income tax and an inheri-
tance tax.
For the initiative, referendum and
the recall.
For a law that will prevent the
shipment of liquor into dry territory
and to prevent the sale of revenue li-
cense by the government to any one
who uses the same in prohibition ter-
ritory.
For the Randell bill or one of
thnt kind to prevent a public otllcial
from serving public service corpora-
lions or receiving gifts or emolu-
ments from a source other than the
government.
For a law dealing in strong terms
with men engaged in the white slave
traffic.
Senator Perkins was the author
of the bill making it a misdemeanor
to swenr over a telephone and was
(he author of the law we now have
making bootlegging a felony in a
prohibition district.
The Democrat is pleased to give
the views as set forth by the candi-
dates for Congress and after know-
ing how the several candidates stand
the people will the better know how
to vol* on election day. The Senator
is not far away from the theories of
government Bryan believes in and
workB to bring to pass, also the pro-
gressive thought without sacrificing
any of the democratic gospel the peo-
ple will need to preserve the old
ship of state and which will endure
while liberty and representative
government shall prevail.—Sherman

TYPE OF TRUE AMERICAN.
Record Clem* and Bright as Noon
Day Sun.
Hon. Tom W. Perkins, candidate
for congress is not. letting the grass
grow beneath his feet in the race for
congress. He is working day and
nlglit. There Is something encourag-
ing andi uplifting in the life and
character of Senator Perkins for the
young nian of the present day.
Starting out in life, with no money
and but a limited education this
barefoot boy has already left ills
footprints on the sands of time, by
his own hard links lie has reared and
educated a splendid family, placed
them in a comfortable home and
has filled every position which he
lias occupied with honor and credit.
His record as state senator Is as
clear and bright as the noon day's
sun, was true and \ faithful to the
people which placed him in that high
position, and to our certain knowl-
edge has always been the poor man's
friend. He has already by bis own
Indomitable will, and great persever-
ance accomplished more in life than
tho ordinary man and now aspires r,o
higher honors. Who can blame him?
Small indeed must be the man who
in any manner wouldl attempt to ro-
tard his progress. He is a genuine
type ol' the true American manhood
and we earnestly hope that he will
reach the goal of his ambition. If
elected, tho people of the 4th dis-
trict will have a true and faithful
representative who will carefully
guard their rights and interests in
every particular for every pulsation
of his manlj* heart beats in sym-
pathy with tho common people.
He has a hand for those who love
111 m.
A smilevfor those who hate,
Whatever sky is above him
lie has a heart for any fate.
