an honest, faithful and efficient serv-
ant Of the county, having at all times
the interest and welfare of the county
at heart, and has in every and all oc-
casions practiced economy and made
the management of said infirmary a
credit to the county; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this board of super
visors, at the March term. 1910, in ses-
sion assembled, does hereby extend to
John G. Swank, in behalf OF the tax
payers of this county, its appreciation
OF the able and economical manner he
has conducted said infirmary, and wish
all the best the world can give him,
and also God-speed for the future. And,
be it further
Resolved, That the clerk of this
board forward a copy of the same to
said John C. Swank.
Attorney on the Carpet.
The committee on public expendi-
lures submitted its report and for the
most part the items enumerated were
allowed without question. Several,
however, were taken up by the board,
one of these being the bill of E. R.
Magill appointed to report the proceed
ings of the September and January
terms of the grand jury. The bill for
the former term was $50 and for the
latter $45. 1t was claimed by Super
visor Eastman that the reporter had
never spent more than Is minutes
day with the jury and Supervisor Os-
wald said that in that case the bill he
had presented was excessive, but that
the fault lay with the states attorney.
The reason for Mr. Maloney's inability
to spend more time with the grand
jury was that he had to report the
proceedings of the circuit court at the
same time. Supervisor Oswald
wanted the states attorney reprimand'
ed for appointing a reporter who
could not give all the time needed
when there were reporters in plenty
who could do so. The board finally
decided to allow the bill for $50 for
the January meeting, as there seemed
no objections to it, but the other bill
for $45 was referred back to the com
mittee.
Other Reports Submitted.
The Judiciary committee submitted
a report to the effect that 1t had found
that the county could not legally lay
any claim to the trust fund which It
is holding in the treasury and accord
ingly that it was not available to help
meet county expenses. This fund is
one that has accumulated from estates
where there are no heirs and It
to several thousand dollars.
The report was adopted, putting the
matter at rest. Another report from
the same committee called upon the
states attorney to commence prose |
tuition Of such persons whose failure |
% support their pauper relatives has |
caused the county to do so. Under
he law suits can be started to re- |
cover the amounts which have been |
,aid out by the county for such pur-
noses. Relatives as distant as grand |
arents and grandchildren are required |
o support pauper relatives.

ENGLISH MEALS SHORTENED
Tendency Now Is Toward Decrease of
Number of Dishes and Increase In
Speed Of Service.

When George Ticknor was In Eng
land more than seventy years ago he
was often amazed at the length of
time spent over the two formal meals
of the day, breakfast and dinner. It
was nothing unusual for the former
to last for a couple of hours, while
a dinner might start at $3.50 and be
protracted till midnight! And the
courses were as many and substantial
as the meals were lengthy. But times
have changed. With regard to din
ners recent years have witnessed,
says qualified observer, considera-
Bile alteration as to the number of
dishes. Formerly a constant subject
Of complaint with regard to dinner
parties was that there were too many
courses, but IL things go on as they
have been going of late, guests will
soon begin to complain that they have
had no dinner at all, the fashionable
modern tendency being to give a very
light entree in place OF the Joint
which now seldom figures on a menu.
This and another entree, SOUP. a lit
tie fish, and very light sweet seem
to be considered sufficient dinner for
even a large party; and those guests
who do not care for the entrees get
practically no dinner at all. In addi-
ton to this, everything is served at
such lightning speed that it is as
much as one can do to swallow the
few mouthfuls called dinner before
ones plate is snatched away.

i Washington, Nov. 12.-My last bull
Iletin gave forecasts of disturbances to
cross the continent Nov. IS to II, warm
wave Nov. IL to is, cool wave Nov. is
to 10. This will be severe storm in
the eastern sections and Immediately
east of meridian so. The trend OF the
f1uctuating temperatures will be up

much rain. Look out for dangerous
storms east of meridian 30 from Nov.

Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about Nov II, great central valleys
Nov 10, eastern sections Nov. 81. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Nov. 20, great central valleys Nov. %,

This disturbance will be severe on
the Pacific slope and out on the north
Pacific ocean not far from Nov. II and
will lose force when 1t enters the great
central valleys. During this disturb
ance the temperatures will average
q cold wave will follow and temper
allure will go to the lowest for the
month. Some rain may be expected
south and rain followed by snow In the
north, as the cold wave comes In.
An unusual event will occur Nov. Is.
That planetary event will cause UNI
usually severe storms on the sun and
these sun storms will be refracted to
the earth. taking immediate effect On
and near Nov. is weather disturbances
will occur on all parts Of the earth.
Wherever the transient lows are locat
ed at that time and between the lows
and highs most radical weather may
be expected. If you win look at the
u. S. weather map on Nov. IT, is and
10, you will see the effects of this great
disturbance.
] have asked Father Dicard, the Cali
fornia astronomer, to watch for dis
turbances on the sun during these three
days Nov. II, is and 10, and will re-
port the result. Planetary disturbances
do not affect the whole of the earth's
surface. They come through the earth's
magnetic equator or through one Of the
four magnetic poles.
Two of these magnetic poles are To-
Gated 20 degrees south OF the north
geographic pole, one in North America
and one in Siberia. The planetary dis
turbance reuslts In strong current of
electricity which sometimes goes from
the earth, sometimes comes to the
earth
The electric current sets UP q closed
circuit coming down In the low, going
up i'm the high, organizing a high and
low that live and die together. The
bad weather occurs In and about the
lows, the clear weather in and about
the highs. Watch the weather reports

No matter how passionately mere
man may long for more color In his
clothes every effort to effect revolu-
ton has failed thus far. Nor is 1t to
be any different this winter The de-
cree has gone forth once more that
sombre hues are to prevail among well
dressed men. The only hope for the
color-scheme male lies in his hand
kerchief. Even the reign of the re-
splendent sock is over Brown is to
be the chief color in clothes; dress
waistcoats remain set at white pique
or black velvet; hats are to be as
they were; rie-pins, ii worn at all,
must be simple and expensive; ties
themselves are to be limited to black,
black and white stripes, OF dark blue
with large white spot But there Is
one ray Of hope. "Pyjamas must be
white silk, with violet braid fasten-
ings." And a violet silk dressing
gown will be quite the thing.

few days the other patrols of the as
