the nlert for them. The Pacific
slope has Its earthquakes, the great
central valleys their tornadoes anil
eastern mul southern sections their
dlsastrloits hurricanes. These bulle-
tins approximately point out th«
ttmes when these dangers are expect-
ed.
Earthquakes , tornadoes, hurrl-
canes, floods nnd other destructive
events of like nature are nil, most as.
snredly, caused through electromag-
netlsm, a force whose efforts wo see
In lighting and hour thru thunder. It
is the same natural force we nee
operating our street cars and elec-
trie lights and which will soon be
used Instead of powder in our wars.
The solar system bodies are tha
electro-magnetic generators and their
relative positions bring on tho explo-
slons. We warn nil the friends of
Foster's Weather Rtirenu to ho on the
alert for these dnngerous events
within two days of July 1 and 10 and
I 1 and 2M. Those nre tho four dan-
ger dates ns near ns wo enn glvn
them. The greatest danger Is south*
oast of the lows or centers of dlstur-
bailee.
July rainfall will he more evenly
distributed than In the Spring month*
but the font great storms dates note 1
above will probably cause serious
local floods Too much rain will con-
tlnne to lie the complaint In most
sections.
Again we ndvise farmers not ft
sell tho now crops at present tin
reasonable prleos. There Is nhsolutelv
no good reason for the great fnll In
prices recently, particularly In grain
It Is nil n scheme by which the big
war speculators have planned to go*
the farmer's crops at less than their
real valm*. If the genernl govern-
ment does not nttaek and break up-
those big speculator rings tha onlv
remedy the farmers have Is to hold
their products till the hlg speculators
got all they wnnt at the low prices.
