FOSTERS WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN
Copyrighted, 1913, by w. T. Foster)

east of the Rockies will get less than usual
rain and snow. The hard winter that some
are predicting will probably be In and west
of the Rockies, and the North Pacific will
get most of the bad storms which the North
Atlantic usuallyg cts in November.
Indications are that Alaska Will get an
unusually hard winter with many bad
storms The railroads in Northwestern
States and Western Canada should put their
snow sheds in good order to withstand biz
yards and deep SHOWS.
Believing that market prices of grain and
cotton would go down, we, early in Septem-
Der, advised the friends of our weather work
to get out of the markets by September To-
At time of writing this bulletin all market
prices of grain and cotton are much below
the prices on September 25 We still advise
to stay out of the markets. The time is
probably not far away when it will pay deal
ers to invest. The most valuable result OF
long-range crop weather forecasts is in pre-
pairing for times of scarcity and in estimat-
ing future values of farm products
The Congress can stop the unfair manipu-
lations of market values and 1t should do so,
but it can not prevent a farmer from con-
tracing to deliver grain or cotton at fixed
price at some future time.
1t is surely to the interest of the farmer
and the legitimate dealer to stop manipula-
tons of market values A big Spectator by
throwing a million dollars into the cotton
or grain markets can depress or elevate
prices and that should be stopped. He might
also induce local reporter of the crops to
falsify the conditions and that should be
stopped. He can manipulate the news about
foreign, particularly South American, crops,
and that can be prevented. But buying and
selling for future delivery present difficult
problems To prohibit that would almost
ruin legitimate trading in grain and cotton.

Washington, Oct 1S.-Last bulletin gave
forecasts of disturbance to cross continent
October "a to %, warm wave 23d to ~,
cool wave 26th to 3Oth. This disturbance
will develop greater than usual force and
will increase in force as 1t moves eastward.
Most rain from it is expected on the North
ern Pacific slope from British Columbia to
California. Temperatures will not be eX-
IRENE.
About and Immediately following October
18 the storm froces will be of greater than
usual intensity and severe storms are ex-
pected Temperatures will be very high as
the storm wave approaches and following 1t
will come cold wave of the blizzard species
and with the clearing weather the frosts will
probably reach northern parts of the cotton
belt.
That storm will be bad one and we are
giving ample warning Of it. Forewarned is
forearmed, and if you get caught in that
storm it will be your own fault. Most rain
fall of October is expected on the Pacific
slope.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific coast
about October &c. cross Pacific slope by
close of 31st, great Central valleys Novem-
Der 1 to 8, Eastern sections November 4.
This will be one of the three greatest
storms of October on the Pacific slope, but
as it passes into November and crosses the
Rockies it will begin to lose force Most of
it's rainfall will be on the Pacific slope. Its
temperatures will average below the normal
of the season.
First half of November promises colder
than usual and the last half warmer than
usual. Very warm weather is indicated from
November 20 to December 8. That warm
spell will tend to lower prices of corn and
oats because warm weather does not re-
quire so much feed as cold weather.
An unusual amount of rainfall is expected
on the Pacific slope during November, while

Glider could not trust himself just
then to an audible command He was
seriously disturbed by the gently spo-

girls lips. He was not prepared with
any answer. though he holly resented
every word of her accusation.

meant was shown in her final speech.

when l wish you again"
There followed an interval of silence
while the secretary was leaving the Of
fee and the girl with her warder stood
waiting on his pleasure. Glider cleared
his throat twice in an embarrassment
foreign to him before finally he spoke
to the girl.
my girl Glider said gently-his
hard voice was softened by an honest
regret-"my girl, am sorry about
this"
"You should be!' came the instant
answer.
Come, Gomez Glider exclaimed test
lily. THAT'S no tone to take with me!'
"Why? What sort of tone do you ex-
pect me to take?" was the retort in the
listless voice.
II expected a decent amount Of hui
mility from one in your position"
Life quickened swiftly in the droop
ing form Of the girl. She stood sudden
~ erect, and her face lost it's bleakness
Of pallor. The eyes opened wide and
looked straight into those of the man
who had employed her.
Would you be humble" she demand

~ musical, yet forbidding, too, with a
note of passion, would you he humble

He meant to make his manner very re-
assuring. ''They all say that. They
are innocent, of course! Yep, they all
say it. 1t don't do 'em any good, but
just the same they all swear they're
innocent They keep it up to the very
last, no matter how right they've been
got"
The voice Of the girl rang clear.
There was a note of insistence that
carried a curious dignity of its own
The very simplicity Of her statement
might have had power to convince
one who listened without prejudice, al
though the words themselves were OF
the trite sort that any protesting Grim

But you won't pay them enough to

And so you claim that you were

II wasn't forced to STEAL" came the
answer, spoken in the monotone that
had marked her utterance throughout
most Of the interview. Il wasn't fore
ed to steal, and didn't steal. But, all
the same, that's the plea, as you call
it, that I'm making for the other girls.
There are hundreds of them who steal
because they don't get enough to eat.

stealing Well, I have done it. Give
the girls a fair chance to be honest.
You asked me for the names, Mr.. Gil

to put the blame for the whole bust

At that naked question the owner Of

ut seems to me that I've heard some
thing of the sort before" was elders
caustic comment. But his smile was
still wholly sympathetic. He took
curious vicarious delight in the esca-
pades Of his son, probably because he
himself had committed no follies in his
callow days. why didn't you cable

straint on the part of his son.
Because it gave me a capital ex'
cuse for coming home.'

ing man. But here, wait minute
he added. He brought forth from 8
pocket a neat sheaf Of banknotes'
which he held out. "There's carfare
for you," he said, with a chuckle.
"And now clear out. III see you at
dinner
you can always get rid of me on
the same terms" Dick remarked slyly.
In the doorway he turned with final
speech, which was uttered in splendid
disregard for the packet Of money he
had just received. "Oh, dad, please
don't forget to give Sadie that S. J.
borrowed from her for the taxi"
The owner Of the store returned to
his labors with a new Zest. for the
meeting with his son had put him in
high spirits. Perhaps it might have
been better for Mary Turner had she
come to him Just then, while he was
yet in this softened mood. But fate
had ordained that other events should
restore him to his usual harder self
before their interview. Smithson en-
tered with an expression of discom-
future on his rather vacuous coun-
tenance. He walked almost nimbly to
the desk and spoke with evident dis
tress as his employer looked up inter-
negatively.
"McCracken has detained-er-a-
lady, SIR he said feebly. "She has
been searched. and we have found
about 500 worth Of laces on her.
