SUMMER WEATHER
 DUE BY JUNE 10.
HORACE JOHNSON MAKES HIS FORECAST AS TO CONDITIONS FOR COMING SEASON
 FROSTS NOT YET PAST.

Horace Johnson, the weather pro- phet of Middle Haddam, was in New Haven yesterday on business and to a Journal-Courier man he outlined his prediction of the weather for the com- ing summer. Incidentally he said that we are now having twenty minutes more of daylight in the morning and twenty minutes less at night because of the shifting of the equilibrium of the earth and that this shifting of the earth's equilibrium has nothing to do with the general unrest through out the world. That, he said, was caused by the careless habits of the people,
 We are just at this time,'' said MT. Johnson, ''in a belt of cold, foggy weather, which will continue until June 10. We will have some frost before June 10 for we are not yet out of the frost belt. After June 10 the summer will settle down to hot wealth CT until September. the principal fea- ture of the coming summer, however, will be the drought. We will have a very dry summer. This will not af- feet vegetables for the earth is now SO saturated with moisture that it's effects will be felt for some time. The r oisture now in the earth will come up in the form of steam.
 ''The first real hot spell of the sum- mer will come about June 10, and will last about five days. There will be another very hot spell in July which will continue for two weeks and in tinct hot spell, the weather will be hot and dry all month";
 Much of these atmospheric spells,' he continued, "is due to the shifting by the equilibrium of the earth. This is caused by the shifting of great iph tC o~& of Ian 01 ha to the other. This change in the earth's equilibrium is also responsible for the fact that we now have twen- ty minutes more of daylight in the morning and twenty minutes less of it n the evening.

 'In the case of the earth, this weight as represented by the product of coal, iron and other mines together with other substances, has been changed from one place to another"
 Do you believe that this change in the earth's equilibrium has any, thing to do with the unrest by people all over the world?'
 ''No. The cause of the unrest is the careless habits and wastefulness of the people. There will be no un- rest when you get all the people to observe correct habits. But of course correct habits are not only the result of a life time of correct living but also the result of correct living by former generations. There are few .

These plots are on a hill. about 20 feet above the Sound, and command a magnificent view in every direction. There is a fine sandy beach at Pond Point, and a trolley station, Pond Point Hill, on the property. Every plot has water, gas, graded streets and shade trees, and is sold on easy monthly payments to good people only. Each year sees a decrease in the amount of available shore prop erty, and prices are bound to advance rapidly along this coast.

should poll the votes of those who
nominated him. In an effort to estab-

of History and Politics contains three
very interesting and valuable articles
to 1owans. "A History Of the Codes

from the Netherlands TO Feiia from
the diary of Jacob Van Der Zee and
a paper on the assault made by Lowell

Kentucky. upon Josiah B. Grinell. then
congressman from Iowa. The assault
which was made in the capitol building,
recalled wildly a similar attack made
upon Charles Sumner ten years before
by Preston Brooks. tho in the case Of
Grinnell ana Rousseau. both were re-
publicans and both strong uniontsts
and staunch supporters Of the govern

OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
[Cedar Falls Record.]

There is going to be a scarcity Of
teachers this fall. In several counties
the superintendent report An eviden:
shortage because less than the usual
number have applied for examinations.
The time was when many young man
took a whirl at teaching during the
winter months. Now they find more
lucrative positions in other lines Of
employment and the girls have monop-
olized the field.
II is being recognized that wages
for rural teachers must be raised or
half Of the little school houses will
be compelled to stand idle within a
very few years. Many believe that the
Capitalization of the rural school will
solve the problem and the Record is
inclined to believe that this is the solu-
ton. The Capitalization of schools
gives to the country children all Of the
advantages of the graded schools with
out the disadvantages Of living in town.
The children are delivered to the cen
trail building in comfortable carry lis
in which they are safe from the eIe-
ments, both winter and summer. Fol-
lowing the days work in school they
are at once delivered at their own door
yard. The only children they come in
contact with are their own neigh Dor
hood friends. except when they are in
the school room. It has been proven
that the average country bred child
learns more readily than Its town
cousin. Not that 1t is any brighter,
but because 1t has less to detract its
attention from study
Everything but our country school
system has made rapid progress in
this country during the last quarter
Of century. This alone has remained
as our fathers left it. The little old
school house stands in the same old
place and the same high school grad
uate makes the same experiments on
the Young idea>t4at She 6fd twenty five
years ago. ~
The farmer With his automobile. his
tractor pillow, his telephone. rural mail
delivery and daily newspaper is begin
ming to realize that his children must
have better educational facilities than
ne had when he was boy A few dol
lars of added expense Is not going to
stand in the way of getting 1t either.
