have by any means. But as we
said before, when the boys did
the very best they could under
the circumstances, we think our
citizens should feel that the
amounts originally subscribed
should be paid. Two of our most
prominent business men without
even being solicited, showed their
appreciation of the fire laddies
by putting down their names for
$500 each. This is certainly to
be commended, and the fire boys
will not soon forget the kind
ness. We think we have the best
volunteer fire companies in the
world. and are glad to know that
some of our people at least appre-
ciate them. We don't know how
soon we will need their services,
and need them badly, and those
who have failed to contribute to
their support may be among the
first to send in the alarm. 1t
might not be out Of place to give
this matter another thought.

FORECASTING THE WEATHER

this well. Not one of the long
range prophets will explain to
the scientific world the basis up
on which he makes his forecasts,
and this refusal Of itself would
justify the charge of fraud and
chicanery if there were nothing
else against him.
The officials of the United
States Weather Bureau. on the
other hand. take the public into
their confidence. They openely
admit that there is much about
the science Of fOrecaSting that
they do not know, and may never
be able to learn. They do not
claim absolute accuracy for their
forecasts. but over 500 Of them
are verified. Predictions are US
ually made for only thirty-six
hours in advance. and any one
conversant with the facts knows
that at present that is as far
ahead as our knowledge will
warrant any one in predicting.
The day may come when sclen-
fists may be able to tell some
thing about the coming seasons
by reference to the peculiar ac-
ton of sun spots. but this prob
lem is just being taken up and
several years must elapse before
anything of moment can he an
nounced. The most these scien-
fists hope TO do is to foretell
whether a season will be unus-
ually hot or abnOrmally cold ::
whether the rains will be abun-
dant. or drouth prevail. Detail
ed forecasts for each day. months
in advance. will probably never
be attempted. as that feature is
at present believed to be quite in
feasible. In the meantime don t
be running after false gods.

The American people like to be
humbugged. Next to the gold
brick and green goods artist, the
long-range weather forecaster is
the biggest fake on the market.
There is not man living today
who can give the slightest clue as
to whether next July will be wet
or dry. abnormally hot. or musu-
ally cold. and whoever attempts
to do so is simply playing on the
credulity of the public. The av-
erage fakir'S long-range forecasts
consist of a series of violent
storms. tornadOes, hot waves,
cold waves. cold spells and hail
storms. which if one-fourth of
them arrived would make West
Virginia a howling wilderness in
a short quarter of an hour. Even
the milder tempered gentry have
the happy faculty of making such
an Indefinite forecast that it can
not be applied to any locality or
any date. There is not a farmer
in West Virginia who would not
be absolutely ruined if he planned
his work for one season in accord
ance with the predictions of
these false prophets. He would
have to contend with frosts up to
the 1st of July. and beginning
again in August, with floods dur
ing the entire season. weather
that would scorch vegetation like
a blast from a furnace. and a
sharp cold spell every third day.
To be sure. these forecasts hit
once in while. One who is
guessing all the time can not fail
to hit it. His guess is worse than
useless if he does not succeed at
least every other time. and a
great many of them do not do

Already there has been invest
ed in Paden City a sum exceed

to lay dormant would be to lose
that money. Necessity cOmpels
the promoters Of Paden City to

industries in order to dispose of
their realty and thus reimburse
themselves for expenditures al

money expended at Paden City,
the cost Of constructing the Wet

the total of the expenditures at

it cost to build the road there IS

We regret to learn that our fire
boys are coming out away behind
with their carnival matters.
From what we can learn this is
largely due to the fact that some
of our business people who pledg-
ed themselves to pay a certain
amount, now refuse to pay a cent,
perhaps because the carnival has
not been the success that was an
ticipated. Had the Wright Car
nival company fulfilled their con-
tract with the local tiremen the
attendance at the carnival would
undoubtedly been much greater,
but their failure to come is GER
tainly no fault of our fire cOmpan-
les. When they learned that the
Wright people could not get here,
they did the very best they could
by telegraphing all over the
country for other shows. While
the attractions secured have given
excellent satisfaction in every re-
spect, three or four shows is not
what the fire boys expected to

The prospects are bright for
new life to be infused into the
sIumbering industrial city Of Pa
den City and the placing Of what
was once a promising city upon
more substantial. permanent
and tangible basis than before.
The first evidence Of the rcvl-
val of Paden City was the pur-
chase of the gas plant few
weeks ago and for which prop
erty they paid $4,000. Since
then other NEGOTIATIONS have been
under process Of conSummation
which, would indicate that the fu-
ture Of the city is quite bright.
The receiver certificates author
lied at the last term OF the Cir
cult court to furnish funds for
the completion of the plant and
work will be resumed in few
days. The completion Of this
plant alone would assure employ
ment to a large number Of per-
sons and a booming, hustling lit
tie city. The other industries of
the city will also be completed
and operated.
