HARD WINTER is PREDICTED.
Weather Sharps Say Coming Winter
Will be Cold With Lots of Snow

Weatner SnarpS 0dY OOHhHS ""tSi
Will be Cold With Lots of Snow
The weather prophets who have
forecasted the weather for many years
have had their annual convention and
by a two-thirds vote it was agreed
that the coming winter will be an un-
usually severe one. Weather prognos-
ticators from all sections of the cOun-
try were represented at the meeting
and exchanged their views on the
subject. Many are close followers of
the vetrean goose-bone weather pro-
phet, Elias Hartz, who died several
wears ago, and who was considered
one of the best of his day. The an
nual convention of the weather prog
nosticators was an interesting one.
Those in attendance did not hesitate
to express their views Some are
guided in their theories by the actions
of small animals, such as reptiles );
others pay close attention to the trees
and shrubbery Gideon Keller, aged
80 years, said: "We will have a cold
winter, and it will not start late,
either. l believe the seasons are
changing; that the summers are be-
coming shorter and cooler and the
winters longer and more severe.
When did we experience such a cold
winter as last year? When was a
summer cooler than this season? The
leaves on the trees began to color
some weeks go and have already started
to fall. This is an indication that
the winter will be cold. 1.-THE apple
crop this year is earlier than usual.
You can depend on nature at all times.
The apples are ripening earlier and
will be harvested earlier than in pre-
vious seasons. Another sign of q
coldwinter is the fact that the weeds
are very tall. Nature permits the
weeds to grow tall to make provisions
for the birds and animals relying upor
this food. "
Smyrna times., 1912-09-25
Lots of Snow to Come

John Drake, whose weather pre-
dictions of last fall won for him
widespread reputation as weather
prognosticator, has received fifty
seven letters since September 1st, ask
ing him to foretell the conditions for
the approaching winter. On Decem-
Der 81, 1911, he predicted a green
Christmas and cold spell on January
8, to last until January 18. His
forecasts were so exact that the peo-
pie regard him as an authority in his
lone. He said: "The coming winter
will be cold one, but not as severe
as last year. 1t will begin early and
there will be lots of snow. January
will be a cold month. Look for
blizzard between February 9 and 16,
and feel assured that March will bring
zero weather." H. H. Brown said ::
"My great grandfather used to say
that when there was a good crop of
persimmons the Indians would pro-
vide themselves with good supply of
| buffalo meat, for they were sure of a
long and severe winter. The persim-
mon crop is a prolific one this year
and we can look for a hard winter.
Cyrus Delp said: ga dry summer is
invaribly followed by a winter with
lots of snow. This year the rain fall
exceeded the average and / predict
that there will be little snow and thai
the winter will be mild. A wet fal
means an early winter"
Other Weather Prophets Predictions
Quite a number of other weathe
prophets made their predictions.

rats have begun building early, tha

ed by the st. Croix Paper company. the

ton of Indiana has gone to the courts in
an attempt to break the prison labor

miss the suit was fled by the defend
ants, who compose the board of trustees
of the reformatory, as individuals and
the Indiana Manufacturing company,
which furnishes employment for the pris.
oners and sells their products The de-
PENDANTS contended that the suit against
them individually is directly against the
state. because they are state officials
and state agents; that it was brought in
a county in which none of them reside.
and that they were acting within their
authority when contracts were made. As
to the first contention the Judge held
that the agents of the state can do only
what they are allowed to do by law and
when they exceed their authority. actions
may be filed against them as individuals.
although the state cannot be sued with
out its consent. To determine whether
the defendants have exceeded their
authority they may be sued as individ-
uals, the court held, and to test the ques-
ton the defendants should file a demur-
rer. The question OF the Jurisdiction
over the defendants can be raised by a
