NEFF RIDICULES
LABOR POSITION
OF J. W.BAILEY
San Antonio, Texas. Aug. 10.—Pat
M. Neff Monday night presented his
own labor stand and ridiculed that of
Mr. Bailey In a speech before an en-
thusiastic crowd of Bailey support-
ers. He was rather caustic in his
treatment of Mr. Bailey and his war
record, and for the first time during
this tour he was not Interrupted by a
demand as to his stand on the open-
shop question.
"I believe that capital and labor
each has the right to organize, each
has the right to bargain collectively
und each h&s the right to deal with
the other at all times through duly
designated representatives," he said In
«um.T.lrg up his labor attitude.
Ho wild that when hv was elected
Governor he would place the law o^'
the tend high above the dem.tn ls of
labor end capital. f
After his rest Mr. Neff seems to
have recovered completely from the
strain of the previous campaign.
EX-PIUWIDENT TAH SAB> BAI-
IjKY HKIiPK REPITRUCAJWS
The following Is taken from an
editorial appearing in tho Houston
Post, under date of July 80th:
"When former President Taft was
in Texas, he took note of former
Senator Bailey's utterances, and con-
tributed to the editorial page of tho
Philadelphia ledger several import-
ant articles setting forth the facts
with regard to formor Senator Bail-
ey's attitude The former Republi-
can President stated emphatically
that the former Senator's speech
would be helpful to tho Republican
party in the doubtful states. ni
could and would be circulated to ad-
vantage by the Republicans In such
states."
As a matter of fact, the Republican
I.lterary Bureaus were quick to col-
lect the former Senator's attacks up-
on Aie Democratic Administration
for uao In such states.
How then, will former Senator Ba-
iley be ablo In the coming National
Campaign to undo the mischief which
he lias already done.

FOSTER'S NEITHER BULLETIN
Copyrighted 1 1 by W. T. Foster.
1 I'^llll l-HM-l-j.M i
Washington, I). C., August 12.—On
account of having recently com-
pleted immensely Important Improve-
ments In my system of weuther t'ore-
qastlng it Is necessary for me to
radically change my methods of plac-
ing them before the public. I do not
mean to say my system is now per-
fect but It Is vastly better than any-
thing I have heretofore boen able to
accomplish. I am very much elated
over my success and it remains to be
seen whether my readers will feel asi
1 do about It.
Very low temperatures were ex-
pected to cross continent during the
week centering on Aug 1. That fore'
cast was correct. Severe storms
wero expected to cross continent dur-
ing the five days centering on Aug.
10. I am writing this Bulletin on Aug.
6 and these storms have not yet ap-
peared In the far northwest.
Heretofore I could not closely ap-
proximate the paths across the con-
tinent that the storm centers, warmi
waves, cool waves and cold waves
would follow. Hereafter these ele-
ments of the forecast will be Im-
proved to an important extent. Some-
times the cool wave continues east-
ward on the north side of the storm
center, sometimes on the south side,
tiimetimes behind It. Hereafter 1 will
forecast these Important events and
designate, more definitely where the
rain and snow will fall.
The center of an extensive but
moderate cool wave is expected to
reach Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 16 or
17 and move to near St. Louis In
about two days; then eastwurd, reach-
ing the Atlantic about 18 or 19. Light
rains are expected in Its northern
quarter of quadrant. During tho pass-
ago of this cool wave the tempera-
tures will be relatively lower in the
southern states than in our northern
tier of states and Canada. Tem-
peratures are expected to average be-
low normal in the southern states up
to Aug. 28.
The center of an extensive warm
wave is expected to reach Vancouver,
B. C., near Aug. 19 and move east-
ward along tho American-Canadian
line, reaching meridian 90 about Aug.
21 and eastern sections ^3 or 24.
During Its passage a cool wave will
bo passing through the southern
states and temperatures will average
relatively higher In northern than in
southern sections. Scattered show-
ers will accompany these distur-
bances but more rain is expected in
northern than In southern sections.
Temperatures are expected to aver-
age normal in northern sections by
which 1 mean tho northern tier of
states and Canada,
1 have definitely determined as to
the causes of excessive evaporation.
There Is some evaporation operating
at all times but it varies greatly and
I know tho cause of the variations.
This is a very Important matter be-
cause the amount of rain and snow
depends on tho amount of evapora-
tion. Excessive evaporation occurs
only on the Gulf of Mexico aiul thei
Caribbean Sea, or on the Atlantic east
of the Statesc, or east of Canada, or
on the Paciglc southwest of Califor-
nia, or south of Alaska, then excessive
rains or snows will fall somewhere on.
this continent. The locations of the
precipitations will be controlled by
what Is called tho topography of tho
country. The extensions of the high
ridges, mountains, long and wldo
valleys, In Mon to tho locality
where tho ->rs are evaporaicit,
certainly hfc, h to do with tho
amount of r<u and snow and there-
fore with cropweather and crops.
Knowing tho causes enibles me fore-
cast results; not perfectly but better
than guessing.

FOUND MANY BOLL WEEVIL
A. L. Drain, who lives in North Mc-

day a bottle containing about seventy
five grow boll weevil, which he had
captured in his twenty five acre cotton
Crop. His cotton is located on the lana
adjoining Urbanton. He secured the
weevil from white cotton blooms. His
cotton loks fine and some of it has
bolls nearly grown on, It. Some of
these bolls are being punctured. Mr.
Drain states that he found from four
to eight weevils in each cotton bloom.
He is hoping that warm dry weather
may favor this section In order that
the ravages of the boll weevil may oe
curtailed as much as possible. The
present cotton crop outlook. Is mighty
good, barring the danger incident of
tho general appearance of the boll
weevil and the prevalence of too
much wet weather during the next few
•weeks.

who are more numerous and power-
ful in the Eastern States contend
that Bailey is a liquor candidate, Mr.
Webb said.

WILL BE HONORED BY A
RAILWAY COMPANIES
Althodgh a Washington dlspat&r
stated the other day that, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission had
ruled that mileage books and rounu-
trip exourslon tickets bought before
tho rectfntly authorized rate advance
would not be accepted by the railroada
for transportation, George D. Hunter,
general passenger agent of the Texas
&. Pacific Railway, Is out in a state-
ment to the contrary. Such tickets,
Mr. Hunter announces, will stand ma
contracts between tho buyers and rail-
way companies. The scrip books will
still be good for face value In buying
tickets. Mr. Hunter said also, the only
difference being that In tlie new rate
will cut the mileage [Airchasable by
each dollar of scrip."
McKinney citiaens away from home
should have no apprehensions abaut
their railroad tickets not being hon-
ored except at the new fare if they re-
turn home after Aug. 26, according to
Hunt Bowlby, local ticket agent for
the Houston & Texas Central railway
who accepts the view of Mr. Hunter
that tickets purchased before the
date of the advance stand as contracts
between the purchaser and the rail-
road company.
A large number of McKinney cit-
izens are spending the summer In
Colorado, California, and other distant
cities.
The advance in faro will be 20 per
cent above the present rates, Bowlby
said. /
There will also be effective on the'
same date—Aug. 26.—a surcharge <Jn
Pullman tickets. This will be 50 per
cent of the Pullman fare, he said.
