WEATHER
BULLETIN
Copyrighted 1920 by W. T. Foiiter.
Washington, D. C., Docombci 9.—
During the week centering on Decem-
ber 18 another warm wave will appear
In the extreme northwest and temper-
atures will rise in all the northern
Kockies and their Immediate vicinities.
Temperatures will be warmer than
usual on all the continent till near end
ol1 the month. The storm that brings
that 'Warm wave will expend Its forces
principally lu a chunge to higher teui-
pe rat urea; u destructive storm is not
expected. This warm wave, with the
usuul storm wave, cool wuve follow-
ing, will drift southeastward, then
northeastward, crossing continent in
four or five duys. Not much precipita-
tion Is expected from that storm. A
chunge to higher temperatures enables
the utmosphere to hold u greater
amount of moisture, and it will con-
tinue to hold it till fiercer storms
bring down the upper, cold atmos-
phere that Is one cause of precipita-
tion. Therefore an unusuully large
amount of snow north and rains south
are expected during the next period of
severe storms, Information which will
be given in next bulletin. More than
usual good weather Is expected during
last hulf of December, and during
thut favorable period you should pre-
pare for bad winter weather.
I am expecting northern Europe*and
northwestern Siberia to get a drouth
during the crop season of 1921. Thut
will make an opportunity that agricul-
ture on this continent should make
good use of. Study the crops that will
be affected in Sweden, Siberia and
northern Russia and then produce
more of those crops tliun usual on this
continent. That will require a study of
future crop weather here. Our mois-
ture will come from the northern part
of the Atlantic Ocean for 1921 crop
season. That will make three kinds or
crop weather on tills continent which
will result in god, bad and average
crops, owing to location. The import-
ant thing to do will be to select the
localities on this continent that will
best produce the crops that are sure to
be deficient in northwest Asia and
northern Europe. I have recently
learned much on this subject, but
there Is much yet to learn. At least
one quarter of agricultural labor is
lost by not knowing more about future
crop weather. One man cannot do full
Justice to this Immensely important
subject.
There are many signs of returning
sanity to the world-war-rattled great
white population. Something like the
blind staggers has beclouded its mind
since the armistice was declared, it
was magnificently able, alert and
courgeous till the war ended, and
with its return of sanity Is slowly ap-
pearing improved financial and busi-
ness conditions. During these wildcat
days products of the farm lost money
values rapidly and largely, but when
these products reach us of the cities
war prices are still 111 control. This
cannot continue. There must and will
be a change In these relative prices
and I believe that farm products will
go up lid farm food to consumers
down till the relative values to produc-
er arid consumer will bo more in ac-
cord with Justice, therefore I advise
not to sell grain or cotton and advise
to buy, both for cash and May deliv-
eries, grain and cotton.
MOTHER SUES
TEX.AS ELECTRIC
FOR $30,000
As a result of the death of her sou
Gibson Roach, who was killed here on

other things avers "that at and before
the time of said collision causing In-
Jury and death of the deceased, the de-
fendant and its agents and servants
were carelessly and negllgentl yoporut-
lng, running and propelling said inter-
urban railway car along, over, and
upon said streets and highways, and at
the intersection thereof at a high and
dangerous rate of speed to wit: forty
miles per hour contrary to the ordi-
nance then In force In suld city of
McKlnney and regardless of the
safety of the deceased and others trav-
eling along or using said streets, and
they did not ring any bell, nor blow-
any whistle, nor sound any alarm, and
did not keep a lookout and did not use
sufficient or proper means to indicate
to deceased oi others using said streets
of the approach of said interurbun eai
and did not have said car under con-
trol."

FAVOR PIKE TO FRISCO
FOR LOCAL NEEDS
Joe W. Powell and A. G. Bryant,
two well known farmers and register-
ed stock breeders, who live near
Frisco, transacted business In McKin-
ney Friday afternoon. Both of these
gentlemen expressed themselves as
favorable to the idea of building
pike from the county seat on out to
Frisco for the accommodation of far-
mers and tax payers in that section of
the county. The pike that is being
built through the county lioni North
to South through Cellna, Prosper and
Frisco, is appreciated especially by the
through traffic, but for the local needs
of the farmers and tax paycrj c( that
section of the county, it isn't as benefi-
cial as a pike would be running to Mc-
Klnney or Piano or both. Fn-eie s .ve

to McKinney and are now visiting at
the home of his father, Rev. G. C.
Kord, Just west of town. Mr. Ford

BUYING tX>LLIN COUNTY CORN.
Texas chapters und members of the
American Bed Cross have been called
upon to make and ship ut the earliest
possible moment several thousand
garments for destitute and suffering
children of Roumaniu, Poland, and
other of the small Balkan nations to
meet and alleviate the most desperate
conditions in child life since the close
of the war, according to an unnounce-i
nient received today by J. Ed Rhea of |
(the Collin County Chapter. Each onej
!of the eighty-six chapteA in the stute ;
has had assigned to It a definite quota j
of garments, the amount of clothes
asked of this chapter being fixed at
twenty-five.
Grim evidence of the toll taken in
child llfeof these stricken countres is
contained in the call for garments,
which states that the rigors of the
past three winters have killed so
many of the younger children that
there Is little need for clothee for
children under the age of 12 years.
Most of the garments asked for will
be made for those between the ages
of 12 and 14 years. Tho amount of
refugee clothing fixed for the south-
west has been set at the minimum
figure and will only tide the children
over the worst of the winter. It Is
expected that by making the request
conservative the entire amount need-
ed will be reached without delay.
In Roumaniu alone, with a popula-
tion of three million, statistics re-
ceived at St. Louis show that more
than 5,000 children under fourteen
are running wild in pathetic little
bands-gypsy fashion-crowding to-
gether for company and protection,
and finding their sleeping quarters In
caves and their precarious living from
the alms of villagers. If these waifs
possess two ragged garments a piece
they are envied as fortunate by their
comrades.
Garments made by Texas Red
Cross members will be shipped direct
to the Bush docks, Brooklyn, New
York, marked for export and will be
sent direct from there to the Balkans.
Shipping Out By Electric Interurban
Express.
James & Williams ot Palmer,
Texas, are buying corn on the streets

mers. The corn Is being loaded In in-
terurban express curs in the yards in

BRYAN FOR EXCESS
PROFITS TAX
An effort will be made to repeal tho
excess profits tax. Candidate Harding
declared for the repeal of the excess
profits tux. Candidate Co\ declared for
repeal, and the President has recom-
mended repeal. Quite a, respectable
group of supporters of repeal, I ad-
mit, but it is a Wall Street demand
und congress can not afford to yield
to the demand. The excess profit bus
already been collected from tho peo-
ple for ten months and •> half ot the
year 1920—why allow tho profiteers
to keep It all? If the profiteers will
quit profiteering there will be no ex-
cess profits to tax. Why not reduce the
excess profits by reducing profiteering?
If profiteers plunder in spite of the
tax, they would plunder still more If
there was no tax. The excess profits
tax should stand until profiteering Is
stopped. Stop profiteering; let the
tax stand.—W. J. Bryan, in The Com-
moner.
