Why Foster and the United States Are Unreliable on
Weather

IL west next spring? Guthrie Ok. has negro
named Benjamin Mason, who foresees the future IN
narkable If his foresight is all right crowd Of
Olahomans holer and marvel about it, but if he misses
everybody have forgotten it. AS Mason has made
lucky hits, his fame has become we'll established
Mason bases his belief in the drought dream two
