the moisture 1t contains is condep sed
and we have rain. That iss we are
likely to. It can not be stated too
alphabetically that there are many
things to be considered, which may
make exceptions to the most funda-
mental rules.
n In regard to temperature, everyone
hae noticed that rain in winter means
warm weather. in summer cool wea-
ther. This arises from the fact that
heat travels more easily through clear
skies than through clouds and mois-
ture. In the daytime heat reaches
the earth from the sun; at night It
leaves the earth to be absorbed in
the atmosphere. In summer, there
fore, when the days are longer than
the nights, the earth is being heat
ed for a greater part Of the twenty
four hours than 1t is being cooled.
In consequence the clearer the wea-
Their ana the easier 1t is for heat to
travel, the hotter it grows. In winter
the reverse is true. The cooling
time is longer than the heating and
the clearer 1t is the colder 1t grows.
Thus the pressure of the atmos-
phere is the key to the weather, af-
fecting the three vital questions OF
rain, temperature and wind. Many
things may create an area of low
pressure and many things may influ-
ence its career when once it has been
created. But there are certain gen.
eral rules based on the principles al
ready outlined. The weather maps
tell the forecaster the conditions of
the last few days, the telegraph tells
him of the conditions at the moment,
and with this information he is able
to predict the conditions for the i'm
mediate future from standpoint very
different to that of the amateur OBJ
server, however experienced. who can
form an opinion only from the signs
visible to his unaided eye. 1t may,
in fact, be said that no accurate fore
casts for more than a few hours in
advance are possible unless the pro-
phet is able to study series of'ob-
servations covering wide range OF
country few hours after they have
been taken. For its weekly ii fore
casts, indeed, the United States Wea-
Their Bureau has reports not only
from this country but from abroad
and at sea as well. tp

THE LONG, LONG WAIT

If were not compelled to wait
So long to claim the things / crave,
never would sit scolding Fate,
My features seldom would be grave;
I'd wear smile and all the while
My speech should be of cheer;
But time drifts by; there's much
that ! -
Have waited for year after year.
If / could claim today one prize
For which I've labored well and long,
The listening angels in the skies
Should hear new triumphant song;
The world should have a grumbler
less. tai ...i.4. I,
My mission should at length be clear,
But still / crave the sweet success
I've waited for year after year. b =

II things for which do not care
Were not heaped on me day by day,
!, too, might cay the skies, were fair,
Ny laughter might sometimes be gay;
I'd join the crew Of blithe ones. too,
My long worn frown should disap-
pear;
Each morning brings SO many things
I have not craved year after year.
How easy 1t would be to say
To those who are disconsolate
That triumphs shall be won some day
By all who bravely toll and walt,
II were not compelled to strive
In health or illness, rain or clear,
Denied the splendid guerdons I've
Been waiting for year after year.
But IA It brave to cry aloud
Complaining always of my lot,
So that the passing, soothing crowd
May know how poorly have wrought?
With hope alive I'll brayely strive
And Did defiance to the fear
That nay ne'er achieve the fair
Domain I've sought year after year.

PROTECTION FOR
CANADIAN FARMERS
on the American market.

Canada's protectionist government
refuses to follow the example OF the
free trade government Of the United
States in the matter of free trade In
farm products. On the 7th Of April
Finance Minister White announced IN
the Canadian parliament that his gov
eminent believed in protection for the
farmer, and would, therefore, decline
to avail itself Of the offer OF the I'm
derwood tariff to admit Canadian
wheat and -four into the United States
free on duty on condition that wheat
and -four from the United States be
admitted into Canada free Of duty.
The Canadian duty on farm products
will be retained. 1t is wise decision
Canadian protectionists VIII not re-
neat the dreadful folly of our own
government in 1911, which was pun
ished at the polls in 1912 by turning
the government over to free trade
administration and Congress, which,
in turn, invites certain downfall by
its policy of free trade in farm pro-
ducts. Some day American politici-
ans will know better than to fool
with that very live wire, the Amer
lean farmer.

HURTFUI TO SHOE AND

According to a Washington dispatch
of April to the New York Journal
of Commerce Congressman Gardner,
of Massachusetts, is receiving great
many letters from shoe and leather
manufacturers in his district alleging
the poor business outlook, which they
say has been continually growing
worse since the passage of the I'm
derwood Simmons tariff bill last Oc-
tober, which practically placed leath-
er. boots and shoes on the free list.
One letter from a large leather con,
Germ in Salem states that for the first
time since the business was incor-
porated in 1901 they are running on
only rs per cent of their capacity ane
then only for five days week. They
further claim that 1t is possible to
sell only go per cent of their produc'
ton at the present time. Mr.. Gard
ners correspondent says the Canadi-
an tanners are now using this coun-
try as a dumping ground for much.

VERY HUMlLIATING

The slim attendance at the DR..
Culp lecture at the Brigham Young
College Saturday evening must, have
been very humiliating to Doctor Jen.
sen, Superintendent Cummings and
the College authorities. The explain.
alton that the slim attendance was
due to the fact that the Third year
students were entertaining only
makes the situation more humiliating.
AN opportunity to listen to a man of
DR.. CUPS Standing and ability is a
rare treat in any community, and just
little foresight on the part of ad-
ministration heads will prevent such
unfortunate occurrences. The stud.
ents had all arrangements for their
entertainment perfected and could not
be expected to forsake 1t, notwith-
standing it may appear as uncompli
mentary to the administration. The
best explanation is not to allow it to
accur again and 1t is hoped that when
the next distinguished lecturer ap-
pears the right of way will be clear.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1914-07-24

Some of the state papers are
attempting to make political cap
ital out Of the fact that Hon.
Charles n. Pray. who so long
served the people Of Montana in
the lower house OF congress. and
foE the way. served them well,
declines to be q candidate at this
time for his old position. The
Pioneer happens to know for
certainty that it is not because
Mr. Pray does not believe the
chances for SUCCESS good as
ssason for his declining the NOM
inar7on, but simply because he
was tired Of his duties and the
enormous expense which he could
not avoid while holding the Office.
He SO informed the writer two
years ago, and said at that time
he would be much better off
financially were he to be beaten,
and that his family would rather
he quit public life and had earn
estly solicited him to retire.
There is no man in Montana with
more friends and they all would
be pleased to have an opportunity
to vote for him again, and it is
not fear of defeat that keeps him
out of the race.
