HICKS FOR JULY. _ lie Tells of the "Weather In the Mosul! to Tome. Rev. Irl Hicks in his monthly publication of "Word and Works” gixbs a full and extended report of wha. he expects will be the weather conditions during the month of July: "A regular storm period is cer tral on the first day of July, which fact calls for a change to’ much wa.cner in western sections and last two days of June, attended by falling barometer, growing cloudless and gatht ring thunder showers. The crisis of this period will fall on and touching trie 2nd of July, storms reaching ;heir most active development in the center of the Mississippi valley on and about that date. Look for some Hummer squalls at this time and for r.sing barometer, westerly winds and cl ange to much cooler as storm centers pass off to eastward. The’Glorious Fourth’ will not be as red hot in all central and western sections as is experienced about this day. A change to jin nch warmer with general reaction to storm conditions, may be expecjeo! on and about the fith and 7th: pooler air, westerly winds and rising barometer will again set in for a brie s pell from about the 8th fo XOth. "The next regular storm period is central on the 12th, extending from 12th to 14th.' Full moon falls jpr the 12th and moon’s perigee on the 14th, indicating that very warm weather, barometer and low active summer thunder gusts will occur aboil the 12th, 13th and 14th not in the same section all these days, of course, but progressively from west to east. The

| moon s passage over the celestial equator on the 10th will keep up the ! temperature., depress the barometer and excite unsettled weather conditions into the reactionary storm days central on the 17th and 19th. Black, threatening clouds will arise, start still dashes of wind will blow, but the rule will be that comparative rain fa .1 WiH result, generally over the interior "regions known*as “grain belts.” One of the breathing spells, or days of cooler and more pleasant weather for July ought to occur about July 19th to 28th. Naturally it is to be expected that very warm weather will prevail in the month of July, but eve a in the mid summer heat certain penods are warmer than others. The temperature will most likely continue high from the proceeding storm period, culminating in many blustering thunder gusts ant . empty threatening clouds on about t ie 29th and 30th, the moon being full da those dates. No great loss will res ult from heat and drouth in July, if tin: months leading up to July have be«.:» industriously and faithfully improved.” V . ;
