IMPORTANT ■
TO CARRIERS
The following letter has been re-
ceived from S. L. Bradshaw, editor
of the Rural Carriers' Department
of these papers, and Is self-explana-
tory:
I hope every carrier In the coun-
ty has read President E. C. Forbes'
announcement of our next quarterly
meeting, Saturday evening, the 13th
Inst, and not only do 1 hope that they
have read it, but boys, it is certainly
nothing but our duty, every one of
us, to be there. 1 am aware that we
all are, at times, negligent about
matters that ought to receive our
earnest attention, but how any car-
rier can be true to the service him-
self and hlB fellow carriers, and re-
fuse to share the labors and respon-
sibilities as well as the benefits of
organization, 1 can not understand,
and I am going to be greatly dis-
appointed next Saturday evening if
almost, if not every carrier in the
county is not present.
If you have not been In the habit
of meeting with us, do It now. Talk
the matter over with the boys of
your office and arrange to be with
us, for we are coming. If any one
or all the others refuse to come,
don't let that keep you from doing
your duty.
Remember the standard of the R.
F. D. service is raised and the de-
partment expects everyone who re-
mains in the service to do his whole
duty In accordance with the new
standard and one of the very best
ways to improve Is to meet, and by
a concert of action much can be ac-
complished.
Be sure to come, but if impossible
to come, send your subs, and be at
least a contributing member.
Did you ever see a patron who
thought, that R. F. D. meant that the
Government was to deliver their
mall, their goods, their medicine,
express and a man to do their writ-
ing and stamping, all free? And It
was the other fellows business to
"deliver the goods" roads or no
roads?
And If so, didn't you feel he was
trying hard to bo a deadbeat on so-
ciety? And oh! how you did wish
he could understand) his moral obli-
gation to do his part. Now that is
just what we want to understand.
That Is our duty, and just as a
good heart to heart tatk with our pa-
trons helps to a more perfect co
operation and service, so will our
coming together result in much good
Don't let this go by unnoticed but
try to enlist every carrier who Is not
already with us; It may mean more
than you are aware of. S. L. B.
handell coming to campaign

poster's UQeather ^ulleiin
(Copyrighted 1912 by W. T. Foster)
Washington, D. C., April 11.-
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis-
turbance to cross continent Aplrl 13
to 17, warm wave 12 to 16, cool
wave 15 to 19. The prominent fea-
ture ot this will be a great and gen-
eral rise In temperatures that will
make up. In the way of averages, for
some of the recent low temperatures.
Rainfall for the five days, centering
on the warm wave mentioned above,
is expectedi to be leas than usual. Se-
vere storms are included in the per-
iod mentioned above.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about April 17, cross Pa-
cific slope by close of 18, great cen-
tral valleys 19 to 21, eastern sections
22. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about April 17, great central
valleys 19, eastern sections 21. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
April 20, great central valleys 22,
eastern sections 24.
This will be a continuation of the
warm period developed by the pre-
ceding storm wave and a rainfall
wave will cross continent preceding
the warm wave. The cool wave will
be about an average of April cool
waves with probabilities not favor-
able to frosts except where frosts
are luual for the season.
Another disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast not far from April 23,
cross Pacific slope by close of 24,
great central valleys 25 to 27, east-
ern sections 27. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about April 26, great
central valleys 28, eastern sections
30.
The most Important features of
this disturbance will be a great rise
in temperatures and the inaugura-
tion of a hot, dry spell of weather
that will probably bring a drouth
scare to some sections.
My forecast of a cold, backward
March was well sustained by weather
events. Rainfall forecasts for March
were generally good except that the
rain belt for south of Ohio River ex-
tended a little farther north than ex-
pected and, catching the snows, caus-
ed floods in that river. For Missouri
and upper Mississippi 1 had rainfall
correct. I made a great bit on pre-
dicting rain fall of March for south-
ern states. Of course there are al-
ways a few localities missed by pre-
dicted rains and drouths. To get
two-thirds or three-fourths of the
forecast correct, must be considered
a success. My forecasts of March
warm waves, disturbances and cool
waves to cross continent were surely
successful.
Next bulletin datedi April 20, will
give general cropweather for May
and the monthly charts will be pub-
lished earlier than ububI. May will
be a very Important cropweather
month.
If cropweather of April is permit-
ted to have its natural and just ef-
fects It will cause prices of grain and
cotton to fall, If those prices are now
just and fair and are not manipulat-
ed prices. With these conditions
before us the dealers will be puz-
zled to know whether they should'
sell now or wait till the prices go
down and buy more and the farmer
will hesitate as to whether he Bhould
get rid of his products before the fine
cropweather of April depresses
prices.
My advice to all is to wait for my
bulletin of May. In that bulletin I
will tell you what I would do If I
were In your place. I could do this
now but it would be charged that I
am trying to Influence the May de-
liveries. I have very definite Ideas
now as to the effects of 1912 crop-
weather will be on prices of farm
and plantation products.
Two important planetary events
will occur, one near middle of April
and the other near last of May and
their effects will continue through
tho crop season, having much Influ-
ence on th<? 1912 products. Any one
who realizes that the moon is the
principle cause of the tides, those
great dally rises and falls in the
waters of all the oceans of the trop-
ical and temperate zones, should
hesitate before condemning the Ides
that our moon has Influence on our
atmosphere as well as on the ocean
waters.
