Temperatures of that week Nili

be radical, but good healthful
movement of the atmosphere will
bring rather pleasant wGHther. Most
weather interests will center On
crop conditiOns-and eSery one is
interested in the crops; prices are
about as high now as a7e can bear.
Gloom will overspread the drouth
sections during the week of this dis
turbance, while smiles and joy will
come to those sections WAere mOis-
ture is sufficient. Big prices for
farm products will be assured to the
latter.

This will be very much the same

will average a little warmer while |
he shortage of rainfall will con-
inue. Not much energy IN thn
storms, the atmosphere will be lazy |
because we will be entering period |
wherein it is said that ''all signs fail
n dry weather." and by the way this.
S very true saying. Most of thel
title details of my forecasts fail in !
hose sections where drouth super j
edes all other weather events.
In the discussion of long range !,

ew preachers have been so FORUM
tie as Hicks, for the reason that he

ut OF planetary meteorology. He is
man of much ability and he struck
he iron while it was hot.
Prof. Tice, who had been super
ntendent of the public schools of
t. Louis, worked out system of
the weather, making
planetary influences his base of ope-
ations. But he was not money
laker and did not reap the rewards

i'd not use record and did not in
Jude the moons influences in his
alcuiations. AS starting point he
cid that planetary equinoxes bring

When Tice died Hicks stepped ;
ito his shoes. appropriated to his
Wn use the Tice system and added ;
it the Hicks theory about the eff
ects of our moon. When preacher

leteorology it argues that there ,
lust be merit in that idea. as
feachers are not supposed to be
lccessful in accommodating this :
