NOVEMBER PROMISES MUCH BAD WEATHER Five Storm Periods Noted, With Few Days of Favorable Weather For Fanil Work. (By O. D. Harbaugh) We have our October forecasts, as well as our October weather record and are surprised at the intensity of our storm periods. We believe the Mercury equinox, central on Oct. 4th, would when combined with other planetary influences make the first half of October more than ordinarily cloudy and up to today, 26th, we have had but 3 days clear from sun up till sun set, with 12 rainv ones. October. 1924, had 25 clear. 1 cloudy and 5 part cloudy with some rainy days. How can we explain the great difference in the weather without taking into consideration the influence of heavenly oodies. Last year Mars, known as a stablizer of the prevailing weather, ruled the month. This year, Jupiter, known as the greatest intensifier of weather phenomena, aided by Mercury, has made October far from a pleasant month. The U. S. Weather Bureau reported average temperature higher than normal for the first half of October. With us we had a range of 80 on the first, to 26 on the 10th, ■with a mean temperature of 57 first half and 41 for 2nd half, so far, which verifies our statement that an increasing and northward moon is normally the warmer part of t'he month. A black frost on the 7th did no damage on uplands, at least, but a regular freeze on the 10th killed all vegetation—lo day’s later than in 1924, and five days later than in 1923. Scientific men in various parts of the world are still scouting the idea of long time weather forecasting, the ability to foretell quake and volcanic unrest. They are like the man who ran after the hen that tickled and followed her to see what she was going to do, instead of following back to see w-hat caused the cackle. Newspaper articles report a ragweed weather test denoting a severe winter, others report a corn husk test denoting a mild one. but most farmers would be glad to see the weather clear up enough to get off the husks as very little corn is in the crib and in some sections is spoiling due to wet weather. We stated in our October forecast that the month promised to go out stormy and cold permitting November to come in more fair over many iparts of the land, though it may not be of long duration. The chances are that soon after the first it will warm up and we will begin to say “Indian Summer” but before the first week is passed a storm center will have begun in the far northwest, that as it sweeps across the t tates will bring rain and snow on the northern edge of the storm path, followed by quite cold near the 10th, when a 16 day Mercury period starts while Venus enters the ling • near the middle of the month. Jupiter is growing stronger each month and with the'changing positions of the moon, a conjunction or two of the major planets gives us enough causes to make us notice the weather rather closely. If Mercury* prevails, sunshine will be difficult though temperatures may not fall low, while rain and snows , may be expected; while if Mercury fails, more clear days, and cool, frosty’ nights may prevail. We ex- , ■pect the former condition to prevail due to the combined Jupiter, Mercury and Venus influences. Jwpiter is and will be for the next 18 months at least the “bone of contention’’ in all weather phenomena. Note some of the freakish weather of the past year. During the second storm period, which promises to run into the 3rd storm period with only a slight break and that into the 4th, we note the moon reaches last quarter the Bth. crosses equator south bound near 12th, new on 16th. nearest the earth and far south 19th. making this, with a regular storm center, near 12th, a stormy 10 days winding up in a cold wave. I A few days moderating temper- , atures and a Thanksgiving storm will be well under way in the west bringing us rain or snow by 26th. With the moon moving northward to reach full on the 30th, moderating temperatures will prevail as we pass into December. As regards quakes and cyclones, I we would advise readers interested to the press reports t’he last few days of October and first three of November. Mercury and Saturn pasa in conjunction on 27th, followed by’ regullar period on 31st, making a strain that will he noted in the papers,. Then Saturn and the sun pass eonjunctjon on Nov. 9. followed on the 12th by a regular quake center, to be felt most severely in the southern hemisphere any where from 12th to 20th. Then as the month c’oses the northern hemisphere will experi- < nee tremors at least. We hope notbintr -severe happens hut danger is present; at shove mentioned periods. This mav loc like t>” dieting a verv bad November. but not necessarily so. It never storms all over the country at one time and November has only fi' o storm periods ecn-fe-?ng on Northern Indiana near 6th. 12th. 17t b . 2Cr-l 28th allowing a day or so eop.— way for s’-ec l or .excessive delay. Make the most of favorable conditions in November. I know of several who have neglected opportunities in October to their own loss *nd discomfort in work.

Letter From Florida Extract* Os a letter From Mr*. < ha*. Morrell at Miami. Florida. To Mr*. John Faulkner. Oct. !♦. 1 It.’.. W< arrived kt-t Monday evening ail O. K. After a most delightful trip, save for a little smash up we l.ad near Seymour, Ind . which delayed us a few hours. Some ner^oes ran into our car and knocked it into a 4 foot ditch. Now about the climate It sure is hot. 1 just .-we.it till I don't have a dry thread on. But they tell us that ut are just getting acclimated and after we have been here a couple of weeks Wf will quit sweating so. Uhas has gone to work, sure has an easy job. for which 1 am thankful, till he -ets used to sweating so. But cool ev<-ninu and it gets mueh cooler aUenoon-. But from 9 o’clock till about 2. it is some warm. But they tell me after the first of Nov. it uoni ue so hot. Now about where we live. Switzer had just completed a 2 apartmei t house and mo od in one side ami had not rented the other till w- arrived so we rentiMi t at We have I rooms and sho., er bath, toilet, and sink in kitenen. Now don't fall over, w . n I tell you we ay s*o per month for it. Biff 1 am fixin up one bedroom ami hate it rented as soon as I am ready for the young man for Siu per month, jtmt for him to sleep. So our rent won't be so bad. I just couldn't live in the shack that Ch.ts. cousin had. for it was 1n behind the mill and such an unpleasant place. Chas. said. "Nothing doing living there.” I had to buy a lot ot stuff. A bed. springs and mattress, a dresser and some chairs and a two burner oil stove. and some cooking utensils at the 10 cent store. I have to get the bed for the other room yet. I tell you we had a time to get Chas, to stay. He was so homesick all day Wednesday that he was bound he was going to start back home Thursday morning. So they coaxed him to start work and he was feeling better this morning. It is just like camping at the lake. He is going to get a lot a» soon as we can and start to build. hor there is surely lots of money to be made here in the building and selling game. Houses not half as good as ours at home seif so r from 30 to 40 thousand dollars. We sure cojoy the wonderful grapefruit. Paid Your Taxes Yet? Next Monday is the last tax paying day at the Court house, according to announcement made by County Treasurer George A. Swintz. After that, delinquent fines will be added. To take care of the usual last days’ rush the office will be open from 7 to 9 o’clock on Friday,.Saturday and Monday evenings. Treasurer Swintz declared that tax payments were coming in very satisfactorily, and said he is particularly pleased with the way many taxpayers are making prompt remittances by mail, thus greatly relieving the daily con jestion at the cashiers windows. He expressed the hope that it will be possible to educate the public to the expediency of making their tax payments by mail. In this way. they may, at their leisure, send for their receipt, remit by check, or money oqder, enclosing a self-addressed stamped envelope for paid receipt, and avoid all the delays and conjestion at the office 1 which they now experience. ,-Do children owe anything to tneir parents?
