Seven months to August 1.
BY referring tc the table. il will be seen
that the longest dry period in point Of sue.
cessive dry years, was the four year period
1881 to 1854. inclusive.
Here we see four consecutive dry years,
all below the average. going from bad to
worse. in the following order: I3 4s.
1873. Io.82. 7.37. or an annual average
Tor the four years period of II 10 inches.
This period ending with the year 1854
was then followed by nineteen year period
1885 to 1903. in which the annual precip-
itation was in excess Of Il inches. every
year except four. and the average annual
for the nineteen years was 1885 inches.
which was better than the thirty-two year
average. Note that in this whole period
there was but one extremely dry year. 1889
with but 8. 90 inches.
In the thirty-two years we find the
greatest number Of successive dry years.

This demonstrates that we have Just
gone through as long period of drou,h. in
point OF successive dry years. as the coun-
try ever experienced since 1879. that the
preciPitations have been less each year by
comparison with the former dry spell. and
that the average annual precipitation for
the present dry period was less. and that
we have just finished the greatest drouth
period that the country has experienced
since any weather records have been kept.
The weather bureau reports that two
thirds Of all the precipitation Tor this whole
period has occurred during the mon,hs of
April. May, June. and July.
This explains how il is possible for us 70
raise crops as we do with small amount
of rainfall. as the bulk of the moisture
comes during the growing season.
The bumper crop of 1909. in which the
precipitation was II.7s or nearly three
inches below the average. is partly ex-
planned by this Partly due also to the
good fall rains of the preceding year.

The Forum, beginning with Dec. 4,
has made a new departure in the adj
v-ertisements for its classified page.
Hereafter every ad must be accom-
panied by the cash, except where the
person sending in the ad is a merchant
or some other person having a stand
ing with the paper for other
business than want ads or subscrip-
tons.
This rule has been found necessary
because Of the large expense to which
The Forum Is put In collecting these
small amounts. Al number of changes
have been found absolutely necessary
in order to put The Forum on a paying
business basis and this is one of them.
In many instances the advertisement
is for only Is cents or 20 cents for the
first insertion and it may run for only
one or two insertions. The Forum
is then forced to 9 a collector, per-
hapS TO the limits of the city for a
40 cent or so cent account. Then pos
sibIy the person is not at home, or
does not have the change and another
and perhaps several trips are neces-
sary and finally the account ma be
lost all together.
Besides this there Is the necessity
of keeping books for each Of these
amounts. There are hundreds of these
each month and the bookkeeping ex-
pense alone runs into an astonishing
flgure.
The Forum hopes that this matter
will be received in the right spirit
BY the patrons of the classified ad
page. This page Is one of the most
valuable to The Forum patrons OF
in the b It is a result getter for
| those who use it and the change pro-
| posed is simply a matter OF applying
good business methods.
This rule will apply TO city and OUT
of-town patrons a well. 1t will be
