he a good thing. No doubt Of it. The
earnings of the water plant would pay
the dividends on all of the public serv-
ice corporations in the city and then
some for under private management the
plant would pay even better than it
does now All the free water the city
is getting for the streets and schools
now would be paid for then for one
thing. The feeling that the mere rumor
of a surrender of the plant has stirred
up all over the city, however, indicates
that any crowd that tried to put any
thing like this merger scheme over
would have long hard row to travel.
AS matter Of fact this merger rumor
is proving something of boomerang.
1t has aroused the interest of the peo-
pie in their plant and the feeling that
the plant should be let alone to con
tinue the splendid record it has made

DRY SEASON IN FALL PREDICTED.
st. Louis Prognosticator Sends Out
Discouraging News to Farmers.


The United States is going dry this
fall. Such is the prediction of Ira Hicks
weather prognosticator, who bases his
statement on astronomical observations
According to Mr. Hicks the country will
have drought, such as it experienced
in 1901 when it was necessary to give
the live stock hay to feed.
II look for the conditions of the
never to be forgotten drought of 1901
to return during the latter part of this
year." be said cit will probably en-
brace the "rop season of 1912 entailing
q woefrF condition of agriculturists and
all Of us for that matter.
cit is an astronomical matter.
These things are the effect solely of the
location of the sun and the aspect of
the solor system. These droughts like
almost all Others recur at stated inter
walls. They follow what we call cycles
of more or less length. This drought
cycle is what we would call ten year
cycle. +"
This representation will probably
disturb farmers throughout the country
and if verified will mean untold suffer
ing in the entire country.

The Wisconsin State Retail Liquor

Quoting of the retail liquor business
of the state as enunciated in the speech
of President Langan in accepting of

the unanimous vote Of the delegates,

to do SO but an earnest effort to carry
out these reforms by the members,
of the association would result in the
business generally being put on a
much higher level and in much bet
ter position to resist any attacks made
upon it. There is no question but that
the preponderating influence of the
brewers in the retail liquor business
throughout the state has been a bad
thing for the independent retail IL
quor men and that they, the real in
dependent dealers who own their own
places and run their business, will
have to take measures to curtail this
rapidly increasing power Of the brew
cries in the retail trade unless they
are content to sink to the position
IN which so many members Of their
own association now find themselves.

there is no reason to believe that CON

In other cities, the action of the brew
cries in planting saloons in residence
districts, with all the attendant evils,
is responsible for much Of the
strength Of the no license movement
and many vote against license can
be traced directly to this cause. This
multiplying of saloons for which there
is no real demand not only cuts into
the business of what may be called
the legitimate retail liquor dealers, but
practically forces selling to minors,
habitual drunkards, and the violation
of all of the laws and ordinances laid
down for the regulation of the saloon.

whole the business has to bear the

Why this change none in authority
is willing to state definitely. At the
weather bureau it was explained that
the current in the lake IS southwark
on the Chicago side and that the north
west winds may have stimulated the
current. This was given as among the
possible things with hesitancy fully
scientific.
At,the photographic Office and at the

Changes i'll River Temperature.

The Commonwealth Edison company
Of Chicago, however, makes daily read
ings of the temperature of the Chicago
River at its plant west of Halsted

some unusual changes. In June, ac-
cording to w. L. Abbott of the com
pany, the river showed an average
temperature of Go degrees, against a
normal Of only 81.
MI. Abbott IS readings for number
Of years give July a normal Of II de-

This is the question which thousands

continued up to Sunday. Then came a
sudden change in the water and the

CHAPTER XkXlll.

I Go Up Against a Baseball Maunsts.
! guess Henry f Dixie, the actor,
hasn't forgotten an incident-perhaps
no might call u o serlo-comic tragedy
that-happened one day when we
were playing in Boston. In those days
Henry was very warm fan and
never missed a game when he could
manage to be present On this partic.
ular afternoon he drove out to the
grounds in his yellow blackboard his
bull terrier Dago in the seat beside
him. The actor always retained his
seat in his rig and on this occasion
took his customary position just back
OF the left field
Dixie hadn't been on the grounds
more than ten minutes when Dahlon
swiped the ball for three bagger. II
was one of that payers long, low,
hard drives, and It sailed about ten
feet over The left felders head and in
direct line for the Dixie turnout
Henry didn't see II coming-he
couldn't have got out OF the way II he
had-and the FIRST thing ne knew
about II was when he heard quick
yolp at his side and saw Dago tumble
OFF the scat and fall between the
wheels with q thud. The terrier was
dead, the ball having broken his neck
Maybe you think there wasn't some
thing doing about that umel For
tunately the horses got frightened
over the hubbub, and the owner had
to exert some OF his superfluous
strength to keep them from wrechng
the trap but you have It from me di
rect that Henry managed to get IN an
occasional remark now and then that
was not complimentary to baseball
The whole field was In an uproar and
II was fully ten minutes before things
got to moving smoothly again. Dahl
en-, the author OF the mischief, seemed
to be about the only unconcerned man
on tho premises, and, after he had
scored on the death OF Dago, actually
got of pun that was so rank that

Only in the small towns of the five statewide prohibition commonweaiths Of the south do the prohibition laws work with any degree of success, Even in the small towns do blind tigers" thrive. In the large cities the statewide laws are as good as no laws, with the exception that in some of the cities, Atlanta, for instance. dives of the lowest sort are not per mitted to run Saloons for the sale of beer, real beer, are wide open day and night in the big cities of the state wide prohibition states. In some of these saloons beer ale and lager are sold exclusively In others, liquors are sold as freely as if the saloons were licensed for their sale. Moon shining has increased tremendously under statewide prohibition; home drinking has increased; crime has in- creased, and the revenues of the cities have decreased tremendously It is predicted that North Carolina. Geor- gia, Alabama. Tennessee and Missis- siDBi will go back to local option in a few years. A Grit representative has gathered some intimate facts concern. ing the prohibition question in the South, which will be found in the fol- lowing article.
