Hicks on July Weather.

The first storm period OF the
month is central on the 4th to the
9Th, when thunder and rain storms
may be expected. One may know
with a degree Of certainty, the
general character of the weather
through July and August, by the
character of the weather prevailing
during the first two storm periods
of July. If the general tendency
is to excessive heat and light rains
from the 4th to the 9Th, and from
the 9th to 18th, it will be safe to
count on a continuance OF such
weather nearly or quite up to
September. Mr.. Hicks says there
are good reasons to expect such
results. Upon the other hand,
should cool weather and general
rains and storms be the rule at
these periods, much of the same
kind of weather will characterize all
the storm periods for the following
six or eight weeks. About the 18th
to 18th the central dates of the
second July storm period, no one
should be surprised by wave OF
excessive warm weather ending in
many threatening storms and vio-
lent clustering, Some local cloud
bursts are probable here and there.
Heavy hail storms, especially in the
west and north, will most likely at
tend these disturbances, in which
events change to much cooler may
be expected. On and touching the
18th, 18th and 10Th the temperature
will greatly increase, moving like
wave from west to east. The
next storm period covers the Dist
oath, having it's center on the 23d.
More threatening summer clouds,
with thunder, some rain, will
break out along the paths Of actual
storm areas. On and touching the
9th and 28th storm conditions will
return with more than ordinary
intensity. Great warmth will in
every probability reach climax on
and next to these dates. If by any
means heavy and general rains
should have fallen at previous July
periods the same may be counted
on at this last period.

questions have two sides, and
people can honestly differ on such
questions. Mr.. Shimmin took the
position that the motion to table
settled the question this year, and
that it was but fair if question Of
this kind was to come before a
school meeting that residents of
the district should know of it and
all have a chance at least to be pre-
sent and vote upon the question.
A personal grievance against the
board or some members of it, or
against teacher, is not the best
ground for change.
The Herald believes the school
under the present system has been
carried on benefcially to district and
scholars, and before changing it
would be well to investigate how
such a change has worked where
adopted.

Liked the Music.

In the write-up of the celebration
the Cassville Record has the fol-
lowing to say of the music: "The
Lancaster band is certainly en-
titled to credit for the excellent
manner in which they entertained
the large crowd. They were very
liberal with their music and besides
their selections were right up to the
minute. They were all gentlemanly
fellows and they made chit" not
only with our residents but with all
who celebrated here"

DIRECTORS MEET.
Fair Directors Have a. Business Meet
ing on Thursday Evening.

The officers and directors of the
Grant County Agricultural society
had an adjourned business meeting
at the City hall on Thursday even
ing, which all attended.
The meeting was called to order
by President G. w. Ray.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
On motion a committee, con-
sisting of J. S. Wright and Delos
Abrams, was appointed to assist the
superintendent in arranging closets,
etc.
Realizing the necessity of first
class special attractions, commit
tee of five, including Pres. Ray,
G. E. Budd, A. G.. Knapp, j. S.
Wright and Geo. HI. Baxter, was
appointed to look after this i'm
pOrtant business.
Mrs. Wesley Weir was appointed
superintendent of Dept. E.
j. S. Wright, A. G.. Knapp and
G. E. Budd were appointed to ar
range for special train service
during the fair.
1t was decided to make a new
special feature, viz, a public stock
sale during the fair. All breeders
OF horses, cattle, hogs, etc., are in
vited to hand in to the secretary,
on or before July Is, list OF stock
which they wish to sell. This
feature will without doubt prove
to be a success.
There was much discussion on
many subjects relating to the fair
and the preliminary arrangements.
The directors were deeply inter-
ested in the business on hand, and
are determined to try to make the
'04 fair far Outshine all previous
efforts. There is much thinking
along the lines of new features,
special attractions, etc.

Good Apples in Demand.

Field and Farm.
1t is rather encouraging to read items
like the following from Cincinnati
paper: "Ehe finest apples seen in the
local market for years are coming from
Colorado. The color is pretty and the
peelwaxy in appearance. The apples
are noted for their crisp and delicious
flavor. Although prices are high they
are in good demand and wholesale from
81 to $2.25 bushel box, while a barre
of the choicest eastern apples can be
had for that price" We would like
the color of this information better if
it would show where our Colorado grow
ers could secure a just proportion of
the price themselves. In Delta county
the past fall the finest winter apples
were delivered'to contractors at the
packing tables for twenty-five cents a
box and these are the goods now selling
in Ohio for $2.25.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see a mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the
symptoms of a consumptive tendency.
And why should this dangetous condi-
tion exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when DIR. Boschee's German
Syrup would put stop to it at once?
No mother should be without this old

THE WISDOM OF sULLY.

Sullv, erstwhile Cotton King, is
down, and the only reverence done
him is in the service of summons
after summons upon him to answer
complaints concerning money invested
with him and sunk by him-or by his
cotton operations. Yet Sully is
man of wisdom, of far-seeing capa-
city and an observer and talker
whom it would be well to follow IN
the matter of the production OF cot
ton. In an interview had with him
since his failure, Mr.. Sully states that
he has been for many years stu
dent of cotton, Of cotton growing and
of the transactions of the planters,
especially of their invariable custom
of selling their seed for manufacture
ing purposes early in the season and
for purposes of raising money and
relving on the later seed for planting.
Mr.. Sully says that as the later
seed IS greatly inferior to the ear
lier seed for planting, he became
convinced some few years ago that
less cotton would come to be pro
duced, even though greater acreage
should be planted, and a close in
spection of the growing crops con-
WINGED him of the correctness of his
theory. Therefore. there came tie
cotton corner, the making of millions,
the fat failure and the involuntary
bankruptcy.
