ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

(Copyrighted 1912 by W. T. Poster)
Washington D. C. July 25.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb-
ances to cross continent July 27 to
f 31, and August 1 to 5, warm waves
July 26 to 30 and 31 to Aug.4, cool
wavett July 29 to Aug. 2 and Aug.
2 to f>. These disturbances, cover-
ing July 27 to Aug.6, will cause a
rise In temperatures, a decrease In
rainfall, drouth In many places and
hot winds >4n a few places. That
spell of crop-weather will Inaugu-
rate the most destructive drouth of
recent years and while it will not be
general it will bo severe enough to
very considerably effect prices of
cotton, grain and rough feed.
Next disturbance will reach Paci-
fic const about August 7. cross Paci-
fic slope by close of 8, great centra*
valleys 9 to 11, eastern sections 12.
Warm wave will < "obs Pacific slope
August 7, great central valleys 9,
eastern sections 11. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about August 10,
great central valleys 12, eastern sec-
tions 13.
This will bring the master hot.
wave of the year, particularly to the
drouth sections. Hot winds will
damage corn in some sections and
drouth will cover large parts of the
corn and cotton .belts. We can not
stop the drouth but we can prepare
for It. I am writing this bulletin
June 10 because I will be away from
Washington for a month. September
oats is selling at Chicago at 40 cents
and I believe will bring 45 before
the middle of September. Wo are
not dealing, have no interest In
grain and none In cotton, and If
these staple articles do not sell at
higher prices beforo first of October,
you can set down one agaluat Fos-
ter's weather bureau.
Bv first of October we will be
ready to publish a general forecast
of 1913 crop weather. There is some
question as to whether we should do
this. One thing that stands in the
way and 'is an argument against
publishing crop weather forecasts so
long In advance Is that the great
speculators manipulate prices of ag-
ricultural prices products, some-
times depressing them 25 per cent
below their actual values In order to
v buy cheaply and then inflating them
" as much above, thereby making a
profit of 40 to 50 per cent..
This is unfair to the farmer, the
cash grain and cotton /dealer and
those who buy or sell for future de-
livery. Poster's weather bureau de-
sires to support and be fair with all
legitimate business but does not
consider the manipulation of mar-
kets as legitimate. We are gradu-
ally putting into practical use a
great, weather,/forecast system and
one of the questions to decide Ib how
jong ip advance to publish the crop-
weather forecasts.
It is believed that the hurricane
and tornado can be correctly fore-
casted and located and In order to
complete working out will put the
improved forecast of them into
practical use next autumn. We be-
lieve the tides to be of electrical or-
* igln and now have tablets of records
which will be used to demonstrate
tha,t fact.
Eminent authorities believe that
the aunspots are caused through
electrical forces set In motion bv
bunching oT the planets on one side
of the sun and that these electrical
disturbances reach our earth and
cause our weather changes. We do
not quite agree with this idea but
have compiled the sunspot records
from 1749 to date with which this
question will be worked out.
It has long been suspected that
certnin positions of the planets
cause electrical disturbances which
increase the growth of bacteria In
our atmosphere and thus cause con-
tains diseases and epidemics. Wo
are compiling records of these In
os</h \' to work "out this problem and
be able to foretell theso epidemics.

OWN STATEMENT
To the People of Collin County:
On next Saturday the democrats
of this district will nominate a suc-
cessor to Congressman C. B. Ran-
dell. I am a candidate for this high
and important position. Twenty-two
years ago I came to this county, a
beardless boy, without education,
without friends, without money, en-
gaging In the profeBslon of news-
paper work, starting In with a capital
of $26.10. My life has been an open
book to you; of my democracy, every
voter and reader Is acquainted.
Starting in life among you in abject
poverty, you know whether 1 have
been a success as an editor, citizen
and business man. You know my
life aB to sobriety, honesty and fair-
dealing with my fellow-man. Some
do not like me because I have been
a moderate success; others because
I have not. been a greater success. I
have done the best I could. I have
ever, and ever expect to, stand by
Collin county and her people—the
whitest on earth, and the possessors
of the blackest lands. I have
grown gray boosting Coltln county
and every enterprise In McKinney.
I am not sorry for It. Collin county
is entitled to the Congressman, and
having always stood in the foremost
ranks for everything which was
good and true and elevating for Mc-
Kinney and Collin county people, I
feel that I should receive the solid
support of the great majority of our
people on next Saturday. As the
mayor of the city of McKinney, I did
everything in my power for the
town's and county's advancement,
spending five dollars to every one I
received, as far as the salary was
concerned. As an editor in your
county for more than twenty years,
I have Btood for democracy, each
and every moment, and have writ-
ten thousands upon thousands of
lines lor the city's, county's and our
people's advancement—morally, fi-
nancially and religiously. I have
given you my life's best energies for

your advancement; and now that I
have reached the age of maturity—
ran for the Senate. But I carried
Collin, Hunt and RalnB four years
ago for the Senate—all three coun-
ties almost solidly; I firmly believe
that I will do so again, with Grayson
and Fannin added. Four years ago,
you elected me your State Senator.
My record Is before you. Get. It and
read It. You will find every vote
recorded for the common people—In
the Interest of the masses. I don't
belong to any gang, trust or ring. I
do not take orders from them. I
take orders only from the people.
Aa your Senator, I voted for every
submission, prohibition and moral
law In the 31st and 32nd Legisla-
tures. I assisted in driving
gambling from Texas. I km the
author "of the felony bill, sending
boot-leggers to tho penitentiary for
following the profeslson of boot-leg-
ging whiskey In local option and
prohibition territory- All good peo-
ple, pros and antis, endorse this law,
because all good citizens are in favor
of the enforcement of the law. I
stood upon the Senate floor of Texas
and battled for all the peoples' in-
terest, the same as had they been
my own private interests. My hair
is grayer now than four years ago
when 1 entered the Senate chamber
for the people and democrats of
this state. This four years' ex-
perience, with the common, evevy-
day-business sense that I hope that
I possess, I firmly, believe qualifies
me to represent you In the Congress
of the nation. I promise you so-
briety, industry and the best, efforts
ol niy life if you will give me your
support on next Saturday. I have
stood by you; now I beg of you, to
stand by me. I have no slush fund,
I havo no $r .00 per day hired men
to go over the district and circulate
miss-statements and falsehoods
about my opponents. I would not
do bo if I had the money. You
want clean, honest, sober men In
Congress. You know my life. I
submit my candidacy to the people
of Collin county and the district
with full confidence In your honesty
and fairness to all men, feeling as-
sured that you will commission me
to represent you In the national coA-
gress. If you gratify this crowning
ambition of my life I pledge you
every energy I possess to serve your
Interests with absolute fidelity and
utmost zeal and my people shall
never have cause to regret their ac-
tion in so confiding their^great trust
to my keeping.
Sincerely yours,
^ TOM W. PERKINS.

FLYING MITO BUBOES
FIT! Will
To the Voters of Collin County
and the Fourth > Congressional Dis-
trict: As the campaign draws to a
close, the chances for Tom W. Per-
kins triumphant election grows
brighter and our peoples' determina-
tion to stand by their home candi-
date, almost to a man, becomes
more apparent to the unbiased ob-
server. Convinced of this situation,
his opponents are sending out over
this county flying auto squadrons
from Sherman, Bonham and some
other larger towns with hired boom-
ers to discourage Perkins supporters
with the concerted cry that Perkins
Is the third, fourth or fifth man In
the race. These brazen claims ex-
pose their own absurdity. Why go
"gunning" for the third or fourth
man? Perkins is first In the race is
why all guns aro leveled on him.
Collin county is lining up in a solid
phalanx for her only candidate and
favorite son, which fact Is all the
more alarming to them In view of
the fact that his opposition is split
up among seven opponents. Grayson
county has three favorite sons In
the race, Fannin has three, while
Hunt resorted to a fierce local coun-
ty primary, that left many scars, In
order to weed out her candidates to
a stand of one in a hill. It Is Col-
lin's turn for .the Congressional hon-
or and that she Intends to assert
that claim is evinced by the fact that
she. has put forward only one can-
didate—one favorite son. Tom W.
Perkins came up from the people
out of poverty. He made good as
an editor, made good as mayor,
made good as a State Senator and
lias measured up to every honor,
trust or test applied to him. In ev-
ery phase of useful citizenship he
has made good. His campaign in
epch of the five counties of the dis-
trict has been more thorough,
while, to begin with, he was better
known to the whole district than
any of his other seven opponents and
he has energetically followed up this
great advantage. Prominent party
leaders, editors and workers in every
county of the district are enthusiast-
ic advocates of the cause of our
Collin candidate. We have no hir-
ed autos nor paid boomerB swarming
over the district making prepoBter-
ous claims. Perkins is a poor man.
He is opposed to Blush funds. We
know too well tho Intelligent, Inde-
pendent manhood of Collin county,
to believe that our people will sub-
mit to either the dictation or the
cunning of the big horde of criminal
lawyers, professional bosses and
hired olly-tongued politicians who
are roaming over Collin county in
-auto brigades trying to stampede
our people from their united sup-
port of our home man and our next
Congressman—Senator Tom W. Per-
kins ot' McKinney. We appeal to
the county pride of our people tq
rally with us in this fight. Then we
will send a Collin county man to
Congress with the greatest majority
that any candidate was ever given
from this district.

DIES IT SHERMAN
The many friends here of Mrs. R.
C. (Cope) White, who resided at
Wliitesboro, were greatly shocked
Tuesday, when a message was
received conveying the sad news of
her death, which occurred at Sher-
mun Monday night at 10.15. Mrs.
White was tho wife of the late Hon.
R. 0. White, who was for many
years a practicing attorney of this
city. After her hnsbandi died, sev-
eral years ago, she moved to WhlteB-
boro, where she has been making
her home with her brother, Mr.
Plu miner.
She had been sick for several
weeks at her home, and was convey-
ed to Sherman Saturday, where she
underwent an operation.
Mrs. White was CO years old and
was for the greater part of her life
a consistent member of the Chris-
tian church. She loaves a large
number of friends In McKinney who
will mourn her death.
The remains arrived1 in McKinney
Tuesday p. m. on the 4:16 lnterur-
ban car, where they were met by a
lar«o concourse of friends and fol-
lowed to Pecan Grove Cemetery
where interment was made. Ilev.
Eugene Holmes of Van Alstyne con-
ducted the funeraL-services at the
grave. We extend condolence to the
bereaved ones.

To the Voters of Collin County:

time since my announcement, to aee
every man In this district. I have

student; havo kept abreast with our
legislation; have learned) the needs
of our people: have made the best
canvass possible. I will be tho only
man from Hunt County on the ticket.
And as It is clearly Hunt's turu to
furnish tho Senator, It is most nat-
ural to expect Collin county to sup-
port. the Hunt lounty man. Stay
with the contract.
Please accept this as a personal
solicitation for your vote. I believe
I can do you good. Respectfully,
J. J. COPPEDOH.-
Mrs. H. R. Childress will pleasfc

Emory, Tex., July 24.—Meeting
In an open field about 7 o'clock
Tuesday morning, four miles north
of this place, George Kerr and M.'lffi.
Sims, both fanners, began shooting.
Sims was killed and Kerr was prob-
ably mortally wounded, physicians
attending him having slight hopes
for his recovery.
The shooting began on the Ivies
farm. Both men were armed, Sims
having a pistol and Kerr a shotgun.
The dead man was shot twice in tfie
breast, death being instantaneous.
Kerr Is wounded three times by
pistol bullets.
According to friends of both par-
ties and those having closest knowl-
edge of the fatal encounter, bad
feeling existed between the two men,
the trouble dating back more than
three years. But It Is said the im-
mediate cause of the shooting was
the result of a difficulty Monday
between the two boyB of Sims and
Kerr. When the youngsters started
to the field Tuesday morning tho
fathers accompanied them.
Sims came to Rains county about
three years ago from Blue Ridge,
Collin county. He leaveB a widow
and four children.
Kerr was born and raised In Rains
county. He has a sister living in
Dallas, Mrs. Thomas RalnB, and oth-
er relatives in Balllnger and San
Angelo. "
TO THE VOTERS
We, tho undersigned citizens and
voters of the Lebanon and Welsco
boxes take pleasure in commending
to tho favorabla consideration of tho
voters of Collin county, Mr. M. E.
Mallow, candidate for County Treas-
urer.
Mr. Mallow ha& lived in this neigh-
bqrliood nearly twenty years. We
have known him as a neighbor, as a
Christian gentleman, and a demo-
crat. Mr. Mallow is a farmer and
has never before asked tho voters
for any public office. He Is an ex-
cellent business man and If electod
to the office of County Treasurer will
discharge the duties of the office,
and we feel sure Collin county will
never regret her choice.
We wish further to call the atten-
tion of the voters of Collin county
that this section of the county haw
never had a county officer, and we
think when we offer such an exem-
plary candidate as Mr. Mallow other
sections of tho county that have
been more favorerl In this respect
should take that, fact Into consider-
ation, and wo heartily bespeak for
him your support in the Democratic
Primary, July 27th:

MELISSA PICNIC
II RIG SUCCESS
As advertised, the big Fraternal
picnic, took place at Melissa Fri-
day and lasted until midnight that
night. The attendance was the best
of any previous picnic and the crowd
wae one of the most congenial and
hospitable ever seen at a picnic In
that town' The cltlzenB of Melissa
did everything within their power
to make their visitors have a good
time and to feel at home. The
crowd began gathering at an early
hour and by noon the grounds were
covered with good things to eat and
everybody "got busy." Several con-
gressional candidates had represen-
tatives who made talks, some county
candidates were present and some
fraternal talks were made. The
favorite Altoga band furnished-music
lor the occasion. Fat men'b races, a
baby show and other kinds of
umusementB were indulged in. The
progressive citizens of that little
town have built a big tabernacle on
the picnic grounds and It Is the best
in the coi^if.v. We learn that the
cost of erecting thlB tabernacle was
about $100.00 and It la certainly
worth the money. They have built
a speakers stand in the tabernacie,
placed comfortable seats and It haB
something like a 700 seating capaci-
ty. Many McKinney citizens have
commented on this and suggested
that McKinnoy erect ono juist like it
for our big picnic.
At night Senator Gopgh spoke
lor Colquitt, Hon. J, L. Yarbrough
candidate for representative and
Hon. Tom Wells, candidate for con-
gress from the Fourth District spoke
in behalf of their candidacy. *rom
the hour the crowd began to gather
until they began to depart it was a
merry throng of children, girls, boys
men and women all having a Jotly
good time. Score one for the plucky
little town of MeliBsa.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
Kathleen, Three-Year-Old Daughter
of Wilson Mallow In Oklahoma.
Kathleen Dolan Mallow, the. three-
year-old daughter of Mr. and. Mrs.
Wilson Mallow, of Coleman, Okla-
homa, accidentally sustained burns
from which she died July 14. The
little victim's parents were reared
in Collin county where they lived un-
til n few years ago when they moved
t.o Oklahoma. The father Is a son of
J. A. Mallow now of Oklahoma and
a grandson of tho late George A.
Wilson and wife of McKinney. Mrs.
Mallow was formerly MIbs Calla
Powers, of Princeton. Kathleen
was a sweet, beautiful child whose
tragic death is greatly mourned by
numerous relatives in this county.
Some OHices Not to Be Overlooked.
While the people generally under-
stand the fight v« ry thoroughly for
Governor, United States Senator,
and Comptroller, and are lining up
with certainty on these three posi-
tions; yet they are not so thoroughly
informed on some of the others. The
office of Attorney-General Is of great
importance and the antis are
anxious to capture It. The man
who stands on the right side of all
questions is B. F. Looney, a wide-
awake lawyer and one of the finest
Christian gentlemen In the State.
Next to this is Judge of tho Court of
Criminal Appeals, and the man
whom we want to keep In that posi-
tion is Judge Prendergast, the pres-
ent incumbent. He Ib a big-brained
lawyer, an eminently wise Jurist and
one of the ablest men in public life,
ills Christian Integrity, his habits
of sobriety, and his mental equip-
ment eminently fit him for this re-
sponsible place, and by all means we
want to keep him on this bench. To
displace him would be to imperil our
local option laws, to say nothing of
other moral legislation.—Home and
State.
