covers the holidays. Moderate leinpo-

• . ntral valleys l lie Winter storms will
lie a little more severe than the ave-^
rage and it will probably be best lo
prepare for severe Winter utorins bor-
dering on the blizzard variety. These
Winter storms will also be quite se-
vere on the I'aeifle slope Willi exces-
sive .preclptUilion, rains and snows iu
the \alleys and snows In tho moun-
tains.
When these mountain snows begin
to molt with the March rains, floods
arc expected. The storm due lo reach
Meridian 'JO about Dec. 2C will in-
crease in force during Its four or five
days passage froirf the Pacific to the
Atlantic and heavy snows ure expected
in northern, heavy rains in southern
sections. In most, northern sections
during the holiduys it will be the pro-
per thing to repeal; "ft snows, cries
the school boy." Soiuetimea these
storm centers are u little abend of our
ilules sometimes a. Utile tardy, there-
fore we advise lo wutch the locations
of the storms from Dee. 2H to 26; We
expect them to be most severe on those
dates whenever lliey must be.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
const ubout Jun. 2, cross Pacific «lope
by close of 3, central valleys 4 to 6,
eastern sections 7. Warm wave will
cross I'uciflc slope about Jan. 2, cen-
tral valleys 4, eastern sections ti. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Jan. 5, central valleys 7, eastern sec
tioi.s 9. j - •
Temperatures ure expected to be
low immediately preceding the ap-
proach id this storm, followed by high
teinperatures and t lu'ii a sudden break
up of the weather elements bringing
sudden changes very difficult to fore*
cist. The unusual and severe break
up ofXveather conditions wlllilh one
day of Jan. I and in the s4«riii centoi
then crossing tin continent we have
calculated to In- In the Kockles on
Jan. H, in Ih plains states Jan. -I and
on meridian 80 Jan. B. It will be in-
teresting to Watch this. Interesting
weather event. You can keep track of
the storm center movements by the
newspaper reports.
We also expect an earthquake on
tlds continent not far from tho mid-
night bet ween Jan. 4 and 5. of course
we are not sufficiently expert to local •
earthquukoa but there are some Indi-
cations leading us lo expect that our
southeastern coasts, the nahiima Is-
lands, Culm and Porto Itleo will feel
the tremors. We also expect the Seis-
mographs from Washington south-
ward to record tin1 shocks.
. A typographical error made us say
that wot would continue east of Itock-
les after Jun. 12. It should have been
west of the Itockirs; excessively wet.
The Wet will begin cast of Itockics
about .Inn. 12.
Fnusuully high temperatures are ex-
pected near Jan. 5 and then great
full reaching ii low point not fur frofn
Jan. 12. Ilettcr prepare for very hud
weather during the week centering on
.Tun. 27. A severe cold wnve, northern
bllxxiinls, southern excesses Sf rainfall,
heavy snows In the liockiiVi and exces-
sive precipitation on Pacific slope are

Are You a Goodfellow?
Three years ago The Daily Courier-Gazette, realizing the necessity
for organized action with reference to.instituting a publicity campaign
for the aid of indigent families in McKinney, begun the agitation of the
organization of a "Good Fallows Club," which found ready response with
the charitably inclined of the city, and so successful was the first cam-
paign that every subsequent year the Club has been prominently featured
by this paper. With the aid of Mesd imes E. L. Burton and Sarah Howell,
who were ably assisted by other sympathetic ladies, much good has been
accomplished, and many a tear has been driven, from the cheeks of little
ones, and decrepit old age, which has had no other comforter at Christ-
mastide, but the ministrations bestowed upon them by the Good Fellows
and these angels of mercy, who have devoted their time and attention to
alleviating the wants and anxieties of McKinney's worthy poor. This year
the Good Fellows have been very liberal and their benevolent spirit will
have brought great cheer and comfort to what otherwise would have
proven desolate hearts and homes, but for thefr unselfish, and in some in-
stances, self-sacrificing spirit. Tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon this column
will be closed to'the Good Fellows for the Christmas 1915. If you expect
to donate something for the cause, please do so before that hour, that the
world mqy know that you are interested in the happiness and comfort of
your fellowman and woman, and the greatest of all, innocent and expect-
ant childhood. Below will be found two letters Head them, and decide
whether or not you are a Good Fellow. Your conscience will speak for
you, and if you can refrain from shedding: a tear, then your sympathies
must be lined with galvanizezd roofing and the pitpous plea of babes, or
old age, can find no consolation in your calloused heart. Here they are:
