Hicks weather predictions for
August fail to encourage us 10
hope for a sutficiency of rain in
that month. Storm conditions
will prevail on the Sd aud 4th.
This sentence is from his predic-
lions for the month Of August ::
1--WE do not say that actual storms
will not come at this or any other
period, but this is a time when
they will sink to minim,ln. -
This means, we take It. that if
there Is any rain in August, if
will be less than in other months
heretofore. He says great heat
from the 3rd to 1lth, then cooler
TO the 18th, with storm conditions.
Cloudiness with scattering high
rains during 18th to 10th, with
thunder gusts DIST to 23rd He
says 1--WE have reasons to hope
and believe that many good, gen
eral rains will occur between the

A paper of London called the Thun'

noise. 1t processes to think that the
industrial situation in the United
States is not as good as it was ayear
ago, and that ali that secures us is
the promise of an abundant harvest
This is probably a bird's-eye view Of the
situation and a mighty distorted one.
Such ignorance is amusing but is
not astonishing, coming as it does
from London. The Thunderer has
only to watch us. Prosperity and the
Republican party are here to stay.

kept up. This question is one of more
Importance than would appear as 1t

Psducah to be ridiculed because

tiles to vote that the COW shall con
tinue to roam at large. The progressive

memory OF "Bobbie" Burns, and has
probably the finest and most complete
collection Of editions of Burns works
in the world.
When. therefore. the new member

something which would please the

It is regretted that vote has to be
taken in city the size of Psducah on
the town COW question, but since it
does, the progressive people should
unite and wipe the clodhoppers of
the face of the earth in the election
next month. The COW owners have
never had any foundation for their
claim that the majority of the people
of Paducah are in favor Of allowing
COWS to run at large, and the vote
will show ii. The people of Paducah
do not propose to have it go forth to
the world that Paducah allows its
streets to be used as barnyard. The
assessors books show that there are
but four cows owned in Paducah,
but of course people who have flow
ers know better than that, for they
can find more than that in their
front yards most any night they
leave the gate open. The vote, how
ever, is not 20 deprive any one Of
his or her COW. The owners will
probably try to make ID appear that
way, but the vote is simply to de-
termine whether the majority Of the
people are in favor Of allowing COVE
to run loose, or are in favor of those
who own them keeping them on then
own premises, except when being
driven TO and from the pastures.
