oUAkEs AND TIDAL WAVES STATED
Hicks Predicts That September will Be
TempeStuous

The month of September is ushered
in with a reactionary storm period cen
tral on the 4th, with probable thunder
storms followed by cooler weather.
High temperature may be expected
calculated to produce a regular storm
period central on the 10th. The mag
netic crisis oc1rrring annually from the
Sth to the 10Th falls in this period.
Notable storms viii organize and take
an eastern course. This period is also
nearing the full force of the autumnal
equinox and storms peculiar to this
season should not be allowed to over
whelm those who are naturally most
exposed to their violence Within two
or three days of the i4th seismic shakes
will be most natural and tidal waves
will visit many parts of the globe. A
marked change should follow with cool
er weather and frosts in the northern
extremes should not surprise.
A regular storm period is central on
the 2lst, the central day of the autumn
nal equinox, and conditions are favor
able for storms touching most parts of
the country in their eastern sweep.
Stiff gales in the northwest bring cool
nights and frosts in numerous localities.
The month closes in reactionary
storm period with marked storm con-
ditions. From September 28 to 0eto-
ber 4 constitutes very decided vol
canic crisis. The moon being full so
near the time the sun is central on the
equator in the nature of the case we
may expect violent perturbances of the
atmosphere as well as tidal waves along
the coast.

OUR GOOD OLD WISCONSIN
A Fine Tribute is Paid to Its SpIendor
and Thrift

The Marshfield News man says some
thing when he says that if we had but
year more to live and a choice of
where that time would be spent we
would ask to remain in this section of
Wisconsin amidst lis present conditions.
There is nothing boastful in the senti-
ments we are about to express, but
really as we look upon the green and
golden landscape fast nearing the close
of harvest time and drink in the pure
air and sunshine we feel utter of ex-
preston. This good old Wisconsin
state never looked more beautiful to
us than at the present, and if God
would answer our prayer and give us
vigor to live on without canes or invalid
chairs, he can have our place in heaven
for rent as long as this world stands.
Go in any direction, breath the pure
air, drink the refreshing water, and see
the comfortable homes, big barns and
herds of cattle, listen to the hum of
machinery, gaze on the fields of corn,
barley and oats, and if the scene don't
appeal to you as the garden spot of
the universe then you are not to be
charmed by the richest blessing nature
ever bestowed upon a country. We
cannot all live in Wisconsin, nor all in
jail or marble halls but there is room
for thousands in our good old state,
where health makes happiness riches.
You don't have to make inquiries. Fol-
low the North star and when you come
to the land of red clover and timothy
growing wild on the cut over lands,
where the soil is rich, the waters pure,
where the flow of milk makes river of
10 ~, ~
the babies are fat, that where we live
The golden west may boast of her
opportunities, the Alberta country of
her waving fields of wheat, the Dako-
tas of their fertile prairies, but there
is not in any all of the blessing found
in Wisconsin, state that has pro-
duced its hundreds of millions in fores-
try and ore, state unequaled for its
natural water powers and better
state that still awaits its soil develop
ment to make it one of the greatest
wealth producers of any on the map.
That's Wisconsin.

The Wilson Meeting

voice and charming personality. The
song service is an inspiring one, and
the great volume of voices when all

speaker the child can understand him,
and the adult has something to think of
as he speaks Tonight topic is Faith,
what it is, and how TO get it. Thurs
day right Repentance or turning to
Jesus. From night to night topics
will be announced. Next Sunday after

at when we take into consideration the

capable of making good in league ball
In this game Denny Hastings occupied
the slab for New Albin and Dewitt for
