WILL RAIN THIS WEEK.
All Drought Districts Will Soon
Have Good Showers.

The remaining sections of the
country which are still suffering from
severe drought will, in all probabili-
ty, have rain this week, according
to the forecast Of the Dutch Wealth
er Prophet" which was published in
The State on March A. w. P. Hou-
seal, Of Columbia, who is known as
the Dutch prophet" said lately
that all other portions of the forecast
which he made in March have been
fulfilled, notably the periods of pre-
cipitation which were central on
March IS, April IA, May / l. and es-
pecially June Z, when Columbia had
fine rain, and July 5 when the
drought was broken throughout the
cotton belt except portions of North
Carolina and South Carolina.
The central period of precipita-
ton which Is now due according to
the forecast of the Dutch prophet is
August 1. This period embraces s
days. July 19 was also one Of the
periods when there was more or lese
"ain throughout the cotton belt.
Mr.. Houseal said that not with
standing we'll recognized authority
in some quarters Of weather condi-
tons, had predicted 4 dry July, his
forecasts are based on a different the
ory which induced him to predict
more rainfall generally in July than
any other month so far this year,
and that during the period which is
central August he confidently ex-
poets all the drought districts will
have rain, even Charlotte and Sails
bury.

tension Work. Invites All Far
mers To Be Present.
Prof. D. N. Barrow director of the
extension work and Farmers Insti-
tute division, has arranged the fol-
lowing programme for the big insti-
tute to be held early in August:
1t is planned to hold August to
II, a round up Institute at Clemson
College, somewhat similar to the one
held last year and all men who are
interested in improved agriculture
are invited to be present on that oc-
casion. The expenses while at the
College will be one dollar per day for
meals for adults-children under II
years old fifty cents. The college
regrets very much that it cannot in
clude in this invitation ladies as well
as men, but unfortunately it is not
fixed ito take care of ladies and there
fore this invitation will have to be
confined to the men.
Prof. Barrow says: "1t is well for
those coming to send card ask
ing that beds be reserved. All who,
UP to the number of the capacity, do
this will be guaranteed bed. Bring
with you what covering you need, pill
low and towels so that you may be
comfortable.
The railroads have been asked to
give reduced rates for the occasion

this will be granted. Due notice will
be given through the daily press. The

arday LAst-Elect Officers

The Equity county convention had
attendance last Saturday in this city,
every local branch in the county except
one being represented by one or more

Der in good standing.

president; Andrew Urness, secretary
and treasurer; Committee on organiza-
ton, d. o. Mahoney, Jacob Aberg, Jens
Davidson, Ray Lawton, Andrew Urness.
At the afternoon sessionssSt Pres
ident Chryst of Hudson, addressed the
members on numerous phases of equity
and its principles. His talk was d.
rected along reasonable and logical
lines and if followed to a conclusion
would certainly result in cooperation
that must be helpful to all classes of
citizens.
Resolutions adopted endorse the state
binder Irvine propot ition, favor con-
tinuance of national oieomargarine laws
now in force, and endorse legislation
for initiative, referendum and recall
1t was voted that copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to our state and ma
tional legislators.
A brief time was given to discussion
of matters affecting the association and
its members, joined in by Judge Ma
honey, Ray Lawton, Jacob Aberg, C.
]. DeJean, Andrew Urness and others.
