FOSTER’S WEATHER BULLETIN
(Copyrighted 1109, by W. T. Fos ter.)
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb-
ance to cross continent 21 to 25,
warm wave 20 to 2 4, cool wave 23
to 27. This disturbance is expect-
ed to be preceded and followed by
cold waves with biiows north and
rains south. About date of this bul-
letin a great high barometer and cold
wave will be sweeping over the
country eastward hound. Its center
will be near the Atlantic coast at
that time and the low barometer or
storm center will be coming over the
Rockies. The second cool wave will
ho near the Pacific coast and it will
grow colder as It progresses east-
ward.
Last disturbance of Jan. will reach
Pacltie coast about 27, cross Pacific
slope by close of 28, great central
valleys 29 to 31, eastern provinces
and northeastern states Feb. 1.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 27. great central valleys 29.
eastern provinces and northeastern
states 31. Cool wave will cross Pa-
cific slope about 30, great central
valleys Feb. 1, eastern provimes
and northeastern states Feb, 3.
Following Jan. 22 the tempera-
tures will average lower than usual
and precipitation will he above nor-
mal. In northern sections the pre-
cipitation will he principally In the
form of snow.
Disturbances of the week center-
ing on Jan. 29 will not he so severe
as those of the two previous weeks
centering on 16 and 23, but follow-
ing Jan. 29 the weather will again
assume the radical and rough win-
ter forms.
In next bulletin I will give crop
weather features of Feb. weather.
That month uaually has much to do
with winter g»-aln and therefore Is
of Interest to all who eat bread. Win-
ter grain is expected to be In good
condition at end of January and the
crop’ will Hrge'y depend on crop
weather of February. March and
April.
I must acknowledge a discrepancy
In my Dei^mber forecasts. I had the
general tenrperatures averages of
the month too h'/h. To 5 ••rnr la
not to he charged to the system hut
to my own individual error. We
sometimes go wrong w’hen we should
know better. But In all other re-
spects my forecasts for December
were good.
I note that recently the U. S.
weather bureau has seemingly /ol-
lowed my forecasts In the style and
effect of their forecasts. They are
trying to forecast longer in advance
and readers of n>y bulletins have
called ray attention to the similarity
of their forecasts and ray weather
bulletins. My forecasts are written
from three weeks to two months In
edvanoe of the dates for which the
forecasts are made.
But I am not objecting or criticis-
ing. If the weather bureau can
profit by my wrork I will take it as
a compliment. 1 find good things In
the U. S. weather bureau, and I sup-
pose a fair exchange should not be
tailed robbery. The weather bu-
reau will he compelled to adopt my
solar system meteorology and they
should begin to acquire the habit.

says that he has decided that it is
time for ColUn county to elect a
good man for governor, we have one
In the race, and he never expects to
shave until a Collin county man is
elected governor. We hope some
good barber will have to shave John
W. real soon, because he looks like
one of Teddy’s escaped varmints
from across the pond. Good man,
If he has got whiskers to spare.

BUSINESS
Mrs. Oscar Wynn, who resides on

remarkably narrow escape from
death. She was on her way to see
her sister, Mra. W. H. Sturdivant
and as she was driving up the hill
near the creek, alone In her buggy,
she was suddenly atateked by a man
In waiting, who fired five shots at
her and struck her over the head
with his pistol. Two of the shots
took effect In the right side of her
head, causing scalp wounds, and the
fourth finger of her right hand was
shot nearl/ off, amputation being
necessary. She was brought to the
office of Doctors Hunter & Moore
here, and her wounds treated. While
severe, they are not considered 0an-
gerous. She stated that the attack
was made by her divorced husband
from whom she had been separated
for three years, and who, she stated
had several times urged her to live
with him again. They have six
children.
The officers Ini mediately began
thorough search last night for the
party who made the attack, taking
the dogs from the county Jail.
At a late hour last night the
search was still In progress.

G. W. Fox, wholesale grocer,
sounds natural, sounds good; that is
exactly what It will be after Feb. 1.
or as soon as Mr. /Fox’s new brick
building can he completed.
Ten years ago G. W. Fox, after
having been in the retail grocery
business here for a number of years,
opened a wholesale grocery, the
firsf one ever opened in the city.
For five years the nrm was known
as the Fox Wholesale Grocery Co..
G. W. Fox, president and general
manager.
So well and successfully did Mr.
Fox manage the business, that "out-
siders” wanted to locate in McKin-
ney, so the Boren-Stewart Co.
bought the Fox Wholesale Grocery
Co., but Mr. Fox was retained as
manager, during the past five years.
On the first of January Mr. Fox
resigned his position as manager
of the Boren-Stewart Co., sold his
stock, and will again embark in the
wholesale grocery business—this
time on his own "hook," by his
"lone self," no one being In with
him. Tt is said that Mr. Fox will be
the only wholesale grocer In North
Texas doing a busfnoss of this mag-
nitude with no one associated with
him.
He is now having erected on East
Virginia street, a store building 75
by 100 feet, one of the most com-
modious in thu city, and will open
for business just as soon as the
building can be completed, which he
hopes will be by Feb. 15th. at the
furtherest. The building will be a
substantial one, with elegant offices.
Mr. Fox will do a wholesale business
only, selling exclusively to mer-
chants.
O. )V. Fox Is not only a thorough-
going, enterprising business man,
hut a splendid gentleman, having
the confidence and respect of all
those who come in personal contact
with him.
That good fortune may crown his
efforts and success his ambitions. Is
the wish of every resident of Mc-
Kinney. and all others who know
Mr. Fox.

tain E. W. Kirkpatrick,
Farmers* Congress, McKinney,
as. Dear Sir: The County 8uf„
intendents' Institute, composed oC
the county school superintendents
and ex officio county superintendents
of the different counties in Texas,
upou Invitation of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, hoe decided
to hold its next annual meeting at
College Station, during the time that
the Farmers’ Congress will be in ses-
sion at that place next July. As
State Superintendent of Public In-
struction, I am president of ths
County Superintendents’ Institute,
and write to know whether It would
he appropriate for the program of
the County Superintendents’ Insti-
tute to be included In the pamphlet
which will contain the programs of
the Texas Farmers’ Congress.
There was organized at College
Station during the July, 1909, meet-
ing of the Farmers' Congress, a
School Trustees’ Association for the
school trustees of both common
school districts and Independent
school districts of Texas. Mr. J. D.
Randolph, of Travis county, Texas,
and Mr. F. C. Simons, of Jefferson
county, Texas, are the president and
secretary, respectively, of said asso-
ciation. The committee on constitu-
tion and by-laws was Instructed to
make application at the proper time
to the Farmers’ Congress for the
School Trustees’ Association to be
accepted as a section of the Farm-
ers’ Congress. This last matter will,
of course, come up at the next meet-
ing of the Farmers’ Congress at Col-
lege Station. Would It be Improper
for the program of this School Trus-
tees’ section to be included In the
pamphlet which will contain the pro-
grams of the Farmers’ Congress to
be held next July?
I am especially anxlotuf for the
agricultural and educational inter-
ests of the State to become closely
and Intelligently unified, believing
that therein lies much hope for In-
tellectual, spiritual and material
prosperity.
Thanking you for consideration
and advice on this subject, I beg to
remain, with best wishes, Sincerely
yours,
F. M. BRALLEY,
State Superintendent.
McKinney, Texas, Jan. 19, 1910.
F. M. Bralley, State Supt., Austin.

We are pleased to learn the County
Superintendents’ Institute and School
Trustees’ Association of Texas will
affiliate with Texas Farmers’ Con-
gress to the extent of becoming Sec-
tions of the Congress. They will be
most desirable component parts and
be in position to forward very ma-
terially the great work of industrial
education.
We will have great pleasure In re-
ceipt of formal application for mem-
bership by the Superintendents and
Trustees.
When the Congress is In associa-
tion and co-operation with this great
army of Superintendents and Trus-
tees of Schools, whose service Is ded-
icated to the forming of character
and destiny of the people of Texas,
Its power for usefulness will be ma-
terially Increased.
I trust It will be most desirable to
have each of these organizations to
have sections in our next program,
and also to take places upon the gen-
eral program. We will he pleased
to have you suggest topics and
names of speakers and send same to
our secretary, T. W. Larkin, Beau-
mont, Texas, who will join us In re-
ferring same to program committee.
Formal application for membership
should he made soon.
Assuring you of sincere gratitude
of the Congress for your timely and
useful suggestions, and wishing for
Increasing, continual effective service
for all Texas, I am with great respect
to you,
