HICKS PREDICTS FOR AUGUST
There Viii Be Some Fierce Storms
During the Month.

From Monday 8 Daily.
Rev. Irl X. Hicks, in his monthly
weather forecast for August has the
first storm period due from the fourth

Falling barometer, increased humidity
and warmth, with growing cloudiness
will appear as early as the fourth.
Storms and thunder gusts will quick
" follow in western sections, and dur
ing the fifth to seventh, these dis
turbances will pass eastward over the
country. Rising barometer and cooler
weather will follow about seventh to
tenth.
A reactonary storm period is cen
trail on the eleventh and twelfth. The
indications are for only moderate barom-
etric and other changes at this time.
Threatening clouds with thunder gusts
may show themselves over scattering
localities, but generally the weather will
remain warm and dry
The third storm period is central on
the seventeenth, reaching from the fiji
teenth to twentieth. Storms will be
forming in western regions as early as
fourteenth and fifteenth and during the
sixteenth to nineteenth every general
and forcible storms will pass eastward
over the country. Thunder and light
ming will mark these storms with great
emphasis A decidedly high barometer
and change to cooler will follow.
The next reactionary storm period is
central on the twenty second, twenty
third and twenty fourth. There will be
high temperature, low barometer and
vicious electrical storms during the early
stages of the period, but sudden change
to high barometer and much cooler

area There is danger that these very
sudden revulsions to cooler late in Au

Governor johnson, together with State
Auditor Iverson, Attorney General
Young and Secretary of State Hanson
returned today from a trip to St
Louis and Lake counties, inspecting the
states iron ore properties.
The trip, the governor explained, was
preliminary to general review of the
mineral lease proposition, on which a
report will be made to the next legis-
lature.
"NNe found things generally in sat
isfactory condition." said the governor
"As far as | am concerned some of the
