AUGUST WEATHER FORECAST.

The August weather forecast, oflHicks
gives a storm period covering the first
i've days of the month, cooler and clear
weather is to follow this openingsstorm,
which is to be accompanied by severe
winds and thunder storms, passing from
the western coast to the Atlantic sea
board. Reactionary storms of lesser
Importance are to be expected for the
Sth and 9th with possibly heavy rains.
From the 18th to the 18th and central
about the 18th is predicted a storm
period of marked Importance, the
autumual equinox being an important
factor in the weather to be expected at
that time, its violence, however, is likely
to be more severely felt on the south
and eastern shore line, but the advice is
to watch closely the action of the
barometer for indications of windsuorms
of great violence. Between the 10th
and 10Th Hicks admonishes the people
of the Northwest to look for an ''un-
%seasonably cool wave which to North
Dakotans says very plainly, "look out
for frost From the 10Th to 2lst hail
storms are more probable than at any
previous date. Following a hot wave
due about the Goth another break in
temperature when the thermometer
may register on the frost line is to be
looked for on the 22nd. More storms
cover the oath and intervening days
until the 9th followed by cool weather
and possible %frosts, stormy unpleasant
weather likely to continue to the end of
the month.

Volume XIV, and aside from being a
period at which we pause before starting
upon another twelve months of effort in
recording the news, is an occasion upon
which it is no more than natural to look
back momentarlally at the twenty-three
years that have past since the Cavalier
County Courier first made its appearance
in 1885 and gave the early pioneers their
first newspaper. AS each year has roll
ed around we have taken this glance
back over the past and feel a certain
measure of pride In knowing that the
effort has honestly been made to fill the
sphere of usefulness. This is the
standard the paper aims to maintain
during the year upon which it now
starts.
