The boycott of American goods by
China grows apace. Despite the pro-
testations of the imperial government
to the contrary, the authorities at
Washington have ascertained that it
is secretly aiding and abetting the
movement, which has now assumed
alarming proportions. Serious indeed
is the outlook, and the problem which
seems to confront us is how to effect
the removal of the boycott without
permitting the Chinaman free access
to America.

While the agricultural editors who
interviewed the potato bug and the
rust parasite and looked about upon
the prairie and the hillside will doubt
less do their best to bring settlers to
the State, a better procedure, in
our opinion, would be the drainage
of more swamp lands and the united
efforts of the country press.

In long-distance weather predictions
we pin not one iota of faith, and
therefore we could never induce our
selves to believe that the Hicks fore
casts or old Mr.. Moore's almanac
representations could possibly be
worthy of reliance. We could never
figure out how mortal man, even with
a harmful Of meteorological instru-
ments, could :foretell weather condi-
tions a year, a month or even week.
It is possible for the government
weather bureau, with it's elaborate
system of observation stations
throughout the country, to make a
fairly correct forecast twenty-four
hours ahead, but there are times when
even these short-period predictions
fail. IT'S true that he Rev. Mr..
Hicks strikes it right now and then in
the locality where you reside, and
likely strikes it somewhere or other
all the time. How could he do other
wise with such a variety ofclimate
as this country affords him to draw
upon? You could do it too-that is.
we believe you could If you so chose.
But because we believe that no mortal
man can foretell the METEOROLOGICAL
conditions a year, month or a week
hence, is, however, no reason why you
should SO do. If you plant your gar.
den truck, select your washday or
descend into the cyclone cellar &C.
cording to Hicks it's none of our
business.
