J^t hullettn gave forecasts of dis-
turbance to cross continent Nov. 1! to

A first week In November will aver-
age cooler than usual and not much
rain, l-'rost further south than usual;
moderate storms.
Next warm wave will reach Viin-
t-foiver aliout Nov. 7 anil temperatures
w.M rise on all the Pacific slope. It
will cross crest of Rockies liy close

ir.vicinity of Newfoundland near
Nov. 12. Storm wave will follow
ithoill. one dii) behind warm wave,
cool wavc. about one day liehlnd storm
wa.vo.
The week centering on Nov. 10 will
average warmer llia.n usual and not
much rain. Indian Summer weather
will prevail and storms will lie mod-
erate. Balance of Novemher will he
u mutually stormy and the severe
pterins will he described in next. bul-
letin. More rain last half than first
half of Novemher.
Pacific slope, always mentioned In
our weekly forecasts, includes all the
country west of the Rocky mountain
top ridge, located on Foster's weath-
er map. I now have the weather
maps completed to end of 1921,
printed in colors. They give my esti-
mate of crop weather and crops for
North America,
There was no Rood reason for the
recent panic and great break In the
grain markets and the American peo-
ple will put an end to the system that
jiotMiilts such events, as they put tin
« nd to the wildcat paper money sys-
tem that preceded the civil war and
the. hanking system that followed that
war and harbored money panics for
forty years.I Mir market system should
be radically changed mid the robber
system overthrown.
Agricultural producers should not
b discouraged. America must feed
Buropu and Mexico till the 1919 crops
are. marketed and I advise farmers
not to sell their products >1 ni-Iiik1 these
market panics. No good reason can
he offered why the farmers should
not receive >2.60 per bushel for wheat
at the principal markets. We who
lire in the cities are paying prices that
are equal to $H wheat at those mar-
kets. I am expecting I lie coming
"Winter lo lie had for Winter grain and
hard on live stock, requiring a largo
amount of feed. Kveryotie should pre-
pare for higher prices.

enters as plant food. The plant di-
gests that part of the food suited to

to the air by wav of the under side of

LOCAL INFLUENZA
SITUATION APPEARS
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED
The local influenxa situation was
reported yesterday to lie some
what Improved. Only a very few coeos
liavo developed in the hurt twenty-
four hours. The ▼ictiins recovering
dally almoat offset the new cases
which develop, one of the loot I phy-
slcliins gave it aa his opinion that the
change in the weather conditiona
would be beneficial in a way If the
people did not get damp or hecomo
exposed to other than normal condi-
tions. The ralna which have fallen In
tlm last two day a will clear the atmoa-
phere and nettle the duat that In an
ever active farm carrier in dry weath-
er and will graatly help the phyaMftna
In their efforta to stamp out the epi-
demic of the Influenaa. Notwithstand-
ing the good which will result from
the recent rain, a aerloua danger
might aiiae and kelp to apraed the
npiileinln if the poople do not uae ev-
ery precaution, flatting damp should
be avoided becauee it will caaae coble
to develop and thane colds could rery
easily turn into a serious caee of In-
tluenau or pneemonla.

Johnston, Jacksonville, Kla., October
I :t, i is Mrs. A. I., It rain, McKinney.
iicar Mother: I was very glad to hear
from you and that \ ou Hunk the war
news Is so oncouruglng.
i iiiii certainl) Rlml that the McKin-
ney people lire so patriotic to ro over-
I lie-top Willi tlie l-'oiirtli Liberty I/Hill
caiupaiRii so promptly. If every town
was ail Rood as old McKinney, about
anything like that, then the United
States would always be on the Job and
loom greater than ever.
We had a. holiday in i amp yester-
day and passed Review of Col. Wll-
lard in the forenoon. Had a spiemllu
speech by one of the camp officers.
So Mother you sec the boys in camp
are also always on the top, when It
conies to patriotic doitiRs. Infliienr.H
has been prevalent in this camp, hut
it Is now not quite so bad as the doc-
tors have |t pretty well under control.
We hoys are taking Iodine or some
kind of medicine In the nose, to pre-
vent tile (Unease. We hike It every
day.
Well Mother, this morninit news
suro sounds Rood to me, hut 1 think
< Icrnuiny Is only doing what they are
to get the people to slack up In their
duties at home, so I think the proper
tiiliiR for thorn to do Is to never slack
up a bit with their bond buying o>
any other thing a« to that matter.
if we slacken up with tliene patrlo«
tic. duties, the Ocrmans will then have
Just what they want. Recause thof
will have time to rc-onforco their
lines and Ret r. ady to fight once
ii^orc. So the bent thing our iieoplc
can do is Just to keep up the good
work like they have heretofore,
I don't wint any peace until the
Hermans are completely wiped off
the map. I don't think they should
luivo any say In the peace treaty what
ever, because If they do, they will
always have a kliiR. And In the course
of n, few years they will wiiro war on
us again as they have this time, ami
perhaps worse.
I alii hoping (hat Wilson will abso-
lutely refuse to listen to any of their
cries, until the Hermann are complete*,
ly exhausted, even more so than Rel-
Riiim is.
I have Just finished a letter to Wil-
bur and want him to Ret this one as
he <1 id nut get the other one that I
wrote to him.
I received a letter from lleffle
Sheridan anil she said Ruth HoughM
had a letter from Cnpt. Iten.rtwiR, who
is In Krance, and lie said things over
there are coming along nicely. He
sent her some pictures of hinusclf with
some little Krench children. Hut that
is Just like old Cap to always have a
bunch of kids around liiin
Well Mania I must close and go I"1
town this afternoon and mail some
letters and buy a few things, which 1

The recent rains liore will
greatly improve the conditions of all
winter pasturage and other winter
food stuff. Many farmers in Collin
county have already planted their
winter wiheat, which will be benefited
by those soaking rains. The hot and
prolonged drouth which prevailed
over most of the state, left tho ground
In a hard and an untilluhle condition.
These showers and rains will place
the soli lu it better condition for
breaking and for fall sowing.
Ac.cordltiR to Or. J. I,. Cllne, Pallas
weather observer, more rains and
showers are empeeted to fall over the
northern part of the stato. More
rain Is needed for the sweot potato
crop which generally matures late in
tho fall. Oats will also ho benefited
by these rains. The most good ex
pect.ed from the showers is the pas-
turage which will not require yo much
Iced stuff during tho coining months.
