l>r. It. A.. IArgent gave out the fol-
lowing statement relative to the cav-
alry troops being organised hero. The
first drill will bo hold on Tuesday,
May 7, at R p. m.
lDvory man who has so far enlisted
and who has not been discharged
must be present.
No excuses except that of sickness
or unuavoldablo circumstances will be
uccoptod.
Any man failing to respond Is sub-
ject to heavy penalties, or might be
ombarrassmont. by having some one
sent after him.
However, we do not anticipate hav-
ing any trouble with tho mon we now
have on hands.
Tho weeding out process of the
malcontents and undesirables has
has commenced, and when these
troops are mustered Into the Federal
service, Collin county will have tyvo
tioops representing them of which
they may bo Justly proud.
I'Jn lift men ts tire still In progress
and there will still bo a chanco for
good men to get In until wo aro
mustered Into the State sorvlcc which
wo Judge will be In about a week or
ton days. After that date the men will
ho allowed lo continue with their
usual occupations and will not be 1110-
b .'iti d except that they will be com-
pelled to report here for drill and in-
struction once or twice weekly In the
evenings, and they must make their
arrangements accordingly.
Possibly within a month or six
weeks they will be mustered into the
Federal Horvlco and sent to ('amp
Mabry, Austin, Texas, whoro after a
short period of training they will be
ordered into active service.
We will still accept men between!
tho ages of IR and 45, but we posi-
tively will not consider taking any
one under 18 years of age. We have
been troubled considerably with boys
under the age coining In and swear-
ing that they aro of legal age, en-
listing. and then we have their whole
families and all their friends on our
necks Immediately. We want this to
stop. And we wish to point out that
after a boy roaches Ills eighteenth
birthday he does not noed to obtain
any one's consent to enlist and Ills
parents can not get him out of these
troops so far as we aro eoncernod.
We earnestly request their parents
and friends anil their counsel to
please take the matter u|> with high-
er authority and not bother us with
It, for wo have no authority to turn
a iit'in loose after ho has enlisted.
As It In, we have our bunds full with-
out being worried with matters over
which wo have no control, Dr. Ijar-
grnt raid.
It is further pointed out that wo
I wive no desire to enlist any man
who will wish to drop out later on.
We only want the class of men and
patriots who will stlcR and can ho
iIoim" ded upon. The other kind will
receive little consideration and short
shrift in these companies.
We are still In need of cooks,
horseshoers and saddlers. Special
Inducements will bo offered to theae
men.
Washington, D. May 2. I<ast
bulletin gave forecasts of tl 1stitrbiince
10 cto s continent May ii to In. warm
•wave Ti to 9, cool wave 8 lo INear
May a cold wave will be crossing
meridian iln and will reach eastern
■ sections about April 8. This Will lie
followed by a great rise in tempera
|lures and not much rain This storm
| will ct oss 1111 rid la 11 90 about April 8
and reach eastern sections near II. It
will increase In force its it moves ciihI-
•ward and some ralli Is expected on its
,eastward front, increasing in eastward
sections. Tins will bo a dangerous
storm and should be closely watched,
particularly as It Hears the eastern
coasts. It may develop tornadoes near
meiidian 90 ami will be dangerous
to shipping near Atlantic coasts and
on gieat lakes, flood cropweather is
evpeeled, except a little loo cool near
May P.
Next warm -wave will reach Van-
couver near May 10 and tempera-
tures will rise on all the Paclflo slope.
It will cross crest of Hocklcs by close
of May 11, plains sections 12. meri-
dian 90, groat lakes and Ohio-Ten-
nessee valleys 13, eastern sections M,
reaching vicinity of Newfoundland
near May IB. Storm wave will fol-
low about one day behind warm wave
and cool wave about one day behind
storm wave.
This storm will be very mueli tho
same as description of the preceding
storm, except temperatures will not
vary so much In latter as In former.
11 w.ll close the great storm period
ceverit'g twelve days und centering on
Mnv 11. Cropweather generally good.
Next severe storm period Is expect-
ed lo reach meridian 90 near May 2li.
Some of our readers do not appreciate
these severe storm periods they they
should. They are very important. Prin-
cipal rains, frosts, cool spells, warm
spells, good and bud cropweather, for
the whole continent largely depend
on tho sovoro storms. Their Import-
ance varies and is explained In the
forecasts. Hut the reader must care-
fully study the forecasts. The old
aphorism says: "Wo crth bike a horse
'to water, but wo 01111 not make hint
1 drink."
I I have not changed my belief that
I the great war •will practically end be-
fore the 1918 crops are matured and
In victory for our cause. Kvorything
is working to that end. Prices of farm
products will go down when tho war
le'idt, hut they will never go to the
previous low prlco. Farmers will get
'an.tile prices for all they can produce
j this t ear.
25. Tho eclipse of tho Sun eonsll-
tute tho most Important feature of as-
tronomy and have greater effects on
.the human race, animal and vegetable
Ifo, than all ot'.er effects combined.
,"'he effects of tho Sun nro always
good, of tho Moon and planets souie-
Itimes good anil sometimes bad. More
o" this Inter. The eclipses, the new and
full Moons, magnetise the Karth In
spots, forming cloctrosphoros on and
In the F.arth, Its -waters and Its at-
mosphere. One noticeable case Is tho
formation of electrospheres called
hob s In the air. These form only at
pew Moons that occur near the nodes,
and then only at two limited places.
These electrospheres are organised
bodies of electrons and aro of various
slses. Rain drops and the very small
fog and cloud particles of moisture
are formed In small electroBphcres
which give to them tholr notable and
wonderful spherical formations and,
at tho same time, condense atoms Into
tiny solids that aro always found at
tho center of rnln drops. Official
science hns stated that rain drops
could not form without these very
small Itodles of solid mntter on which
to nssomble the fog particles.

Rend hla ad.
Mr. and Mra Stum Flarnaworth of
the Roland community have returned
from a visit to rolatlrM In Denton.
•Those who witnessed the culmina-
tion of the throe weeks of tension in-
cident to Hie campaign for the third
Liberty loan, saw the Jubilance and
liitli ; pu lls occasioned by McKililley's
going over the top in the often..tve
could not but wish that there miKlit
III1 a I o: 111 campaign more otlell pen
pie were here from all parls of the
county Monday afternoon to witness
Hie demonstration and by three
o'clock everything was In readiness
for the parade.
Mc|\itinc) has never witnessed a pa-
geant where every man. every woman
anil every child entered mo heartily In
10 the spirit of the celebration. And,
indeed, McKinney lias never bad such
cause lo be Jubilant. For MeKlnney
has oversubscribed Iter Liberty ton 11
HUola by thirty thousand dollars and
Collin county has gone over the top
and is already more than a hundred
thousand oil Its way to tile five bil-
lion maximum. ,
The parade was led by Sheriff Al-
her Mei'aiile.v, O. .1. S. Walker and
city Marshal John > . Mt Klnncy rid-
ing spirited mounts. The horses tlieni
selves seemed to sense the spirit of
victory and triumph In the till- alid
marched with a proud step. They
wile followed by the MeKlnney Mer-
chants' Baud on a large truck.
Throughout the triumphant course of
the parade the ba.tul played lively
music. The band truck was followed
by I hi' boy scouts lid by Scout master
Ib rl Itiiy. These young soldiers match
011 Willi the quick, firm step of the
tie. red-blooiled American. These
were followed by a coupe lit which
• ode lb.Well 10 Smith, cashier of the
First National bank, and .1. Kit Uliea,
f.'ciioral chairman of tho MeKlnney
l.lberiv loan committee. Too much
cannot lie said of the work these gen-
tlemen have ilotii. during IIiIh cam-
paign and tlioy deserve a great deal
oore recognition than tlioy are will-
ing lo accept. Judge H. I* Moiihlen.
county chairman for the third Liber-
ie loan, was riding on a spirited
horse like the able general that he
proved himself to lie during the Lib-
erty loan offensive.
The McKinney Volunteer Fire De-
partment was next In order of the pa-
rade. The city's two large trucks and
the chief's roadster were decorated
w'th the colors and presented an Im-
posing appearance as thoy were tlriv-
e -through tho streets with tholr pow-
erful motors throbbing and thi Ir sir-
en whistles screaming in triumph for
the victory won over the army of
slack ere.
The most (deaslng and striking f«a^
tliro of the parade wiih the manner In
which the general public participated,
livery variety of motor-driven ve-
hicle from a motorcycle to an army
truck followed one after tho other In
close succession. Kvery car was filled
with people cheering, waving fbi«s
und sounding horns until the din Itself
was calculated to frighten tho kaiser
to death should the gentle breeees
wnlft the sound across tho sea to the
ears of His Impious Majesty. The pa-
rade passod down I<nulsluna street
from the First Baptist, church, turned
Into South Tennessee street, traversed
the full length of this street, and re-
turned on Chestnut street, this time
'timing west on Virginia sreot, up tills
streot to Church, thence south to l<ou-
Istana again and east to the public
square on the east stile of which the
band wagon halted and ontortnlnod
I he vast assembly of spectators with
'hat good music for which they linvo
become noted slncr the hoglnnlng of
tho Liberty loan campaign. It wie
long after tho hnnd halted that the

ed on the sceno. More than two bun
■'red automobiles were counted In the
demonstration and every car wits flll-
d with enthusiastic people. Huskies
these there wore thousands of spec-

tion of the overwhelming victory won
by MfcKlnney and Collin county.
