also acted as the official Santa Claus.
and before the entertainment was con

For All Writers Of Deserv-

Of awarding prizes to the writer's Of all

Three persons pass upon all the let

HICKS FOR AUGUST.

A reactionary storm Period is cen
trail on July 31st and August the LIST,
with full moon on the lst, so that
threatening weather conditions will
prevail as we pass from July into
August. Decided thunder gusts will
be natural on and touching the lst.
The first is also the center of prob
able seismic period, extending from
July 10Th to August 4th or 5th. The
change to cooler, spoken of in July
forecasts, may be retarded until the
full moon on August lst, but in
either event it will be of short dura-
tion.
A regular storm period is central
on the 9th, covering the 3rd to the
Sth. Moon is in perigee on the 3rd,
on the celestial equator on the 5th,
and at last quarter on the Sth. The
barometer will fall to low readings
and marked midsummer storms will
appear before the center of this period.
say from the Bird to the 5th, bringing
severe thunder storms and violent
gusts of wind to many localities on
and touching the 5th. The Venus
period will end with the outgoing of
this storm period, but will be present
in sufficient force to make itself felt
in the storms and marked tempera.
lures at this time.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 1lth and 18th, having
Moon at greatest declination north
on the llth. Storm producing causes
will be at minimum at this period
with indications of sustained high
temperature, and only moderate
changes in barometric pressure. II
storms arise at this time they will
prove largely rainless and clustering,
with little if any reaction to cooler.
A regular storm period is central
on the 18th, extending from the 18th
to the 10th. We will begin to reach
climax of summer heat about the
new moon on the 10Th. Marked storm
conditions may also appear about the
same date; but the elimination of the
period will come on the 18th, 18th
and Goth. A very low barometer at
this period will indicate danger, and
any ominous storm clouds that may
arise, with high temperature, humid
air and low barometer, will be a warn.
ing that should not go unheeded.
Within four days of noon on the
18th, seismic reports from various
quarters of the Globe need not sur
prise or alarm those who live outside
Of positive earthquake belts. At the
windup Of this period, say about the

tnat he did it for the wool growers
of the northwest and toprevent a rep
etition of the low prices of 1894 is
not sufficient. A financial panic was
on at that time which made altogeth-
er different condition from that ex-
listing at this time. The protection
actually given the wool grower is a
very small item as compared with
the protection collected from the con-
sumers by the woolen manufacturers.
Under this wooden schedule the price
OF clothing has been going steadily
up for years past, and the quality of
the goods sold to the public has been
growing steadily poorer without the
supposed corresponding benefit to the
wool grower. But that is not all. Mr..
Crawford's demands in regard to the
woolen schedule placed him in posi-
ton where he could not consistently
ask reduction in the cotton schedule
and when he did ask and vote for
such reduction he was shorn of
whatever influence he might have ex-
erted for good in that direction. And
the cotton schedule is one of the
worst on the list; it can only be ex-
cused as the highwayman would be
excused. In most matters Mr.. Craw-
ford has been right, but in matters
referred to he was certainly wrong.
