WEATHER BULLETIN

| copyrighted, 1914, by w. T. Foster
Washington, Jan. 24.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent January 20 to 20, warm
wave "a to 2S, cool wave q to 81.
! This will be moderate disturbance
with a little more than average force,
the temperature trends upward, or the
! cold wave of this less than the cold
wave OF preceding storm.
Not much precipitation with this
storm, most of which will be at points
and along lines predicted for the last
three months. except that the tenden-
cy will be more toward concentrating
the precipitation in the vicinity of the
I Gulf of Mexico. From about January
"a to 81 great rise in temperatures
is expected.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about January 20, cross Pacific
slope by close of 90, great central val
leys 80 to February /, Eastern sec
tons February .. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about January 2S,
great central valleys 80, Eastern sec
lions February /. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about January 81, great
central valleys February ., Eastern
sections February 4.
The week of this disturbance VIII
average warmer than usual, force of
storms about or a little greater than
the average. Precipitation will tend
toward concentration about the Gulf
of Mexico and the storms will cross
continent farther south than usual.
Second disturbance of February will
reach Pacific coast about 3, cross Pa
citiC slope by close of 4, great central
valleys to Z, Eastern sections g.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about February 3, great central volleys
5, Eastern sections :. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about February 6,
great central valleys s, Eastern sec
tions 10.
This will be very much like the pre-
vious disturbance, except that cool
wave following the later storm will
be cold wave that will break up the
long mild period and start the tenn
peratures toward a very low degree
that is expected to be one of the cold
est periods of the winter not far from
February 10.
A long cold spell is expected Feb
ruary IL to % and, following a mild
period, will not be good for winter
grain. There is a little doubt as to
whether the principal cold wave will
come near February or 10. If the
former date, then the cold spell will
cover February to %.
The storms of February will be most
severe about February 10 to II. Prin-
cipal precipitation of that month will
be in our Southwestern States, includ-
ing Texas. Elsewhere the greatest
precipitation will be around the In
dian Ocean, which will include India,
Eastern Africa and the Malay islands
and peninsula.
This distribution of precipitation
will cause a February drouth in Ar
gentina, which includes all the coun-
try east of the Andes and south of the
Amazon drainage system. That drouth
may cause the Argentians to regret
sending so much corn to North
America and to Europe at greatly re-
duced prices
We cannot hold out hope to con-
sumers that general market prices of
grain will go permanently lower. The
human race is increasing. while pro
ductive lands are decreasing.

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-With his hopes of ever finding his long lost daughter again shattered, and with grief that has worn him from a strong man to an in valid, and search that has re- duced his circumstances from those of a rich man to a poor one, Dr. w.

Had $500, Wanted Free Bath.

Hot Springs, Jan. '30.- The first case in the history of the free bath house wherein a man must answer perjury charges is TOW in Commissioners Leslie's court. It grows out of the fact that John Grogovitch is alleged to have $500 in a local bank when he took the indigent oath at the bath house so as to se- cure free baths. He is alleged to have stated that he had only $10.

 lieve that he is, in his crude way. a philanthropist.
 Savage tribes, rather than surrender their aged or wounded to the enemy, were in the habit of putting them to death. The Romans threw their unfit physi- cally into the Yellow Fiber, and made an end of them in that way. The Spartans threw the dumb and the blind and all such as were not ready to do battle. over a pfeclplce and II they were not killed by falling on the rocks beneath, there was no way of escape, and they starved to death. The Greeks had no use for the unfit, but put them to death in an easy and humane way, from which process we get the modern word "euthanasia." When politics was a science in Italy there were accommodating people who prepared subtle poi sons that were used for getting political enemies or obstruction ists out of the way and many a husband and many a wife who were unhappy in their marriage alliances, took advantage of the Hans Schmidt is merely an imi- tator.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

 Mrs. Estelle Claridge, who has taken charge of the Claridge Ho- tel, which will open to the pub- lie Sunday at noon, was the re- cipient of one of the surprises of her life Friday evening when her friends "swooped" down up- on her with a shower" that was certainly miscellaneous in it's nature, for everything imagin- able that could be used in a ho- tel and for the honoree's own personal use was sent her by her large number of friends.
 Mrs. Claridge had been invit- ed out for supper, returned to the hotel about 8::30 when her Sunday school class of small boys met her at the door upon her return, and this in itself was a surprise that led to a greater one in finding the lobby and dining room full of people. After going through numer-' 'ous packages, which composed the gifts, including a check for $75, from the business men to buy an electric sign, the guests were invited into the dining room where a luncheon was served by Misses Katie and Rlna Price, Leila Beattie, Jennie Stuckey, Dove Erwin, Mrs. Ben White and Mrs. George K.

New View of Automobile.


 Ten years ago, farmers and people who did not own them, cherished a positive hatredN of the automobiles and automobile owners.
 The farmers of Iowa have got ten so far beyond the old frame of mind that they demand that anyone who steals an automobile be treated just as a horse thief. The automobile has become the Iowa farmers runabout, surrey and delivery wagon.
 Progress in the use of the au- tomobile is also being made m Oklahoma. Last week a mob stormed a jail, took out a prls- oner and escorted him to near |by tree in a modern high power automobile.
 The automobile has it's uses m the city and the country as far I'D as the pole. As a machine for locomotion it will hold its supremacy until the aeroplane builders and operators succeed in eliminating the danger in driving this vehicle.-Mempnls Commercial Appeal.

Woman Killed In All Night Bat

Mountain Home, Jan. 30.-Bar- ricaded all night in henhouse on her father-in-law's farm, re- peatedly firing at the house in which were her father-in-law and three brothers, Mrs. Gill Siler was killed as she emerged from her improvised fort this morning. Her brother-in-law, Will Siler, is under arrest charged with having killed her.
 The affair happened in Grove township in Baxter county, 8 miles north of here. Mrs. Siler claimed an interest in the farm on which her husbands father and brothers lived. She believed that she could establish title if she could occupy the place, it is said. According to information received here, she went to her fat ther-in-law's home last night carrying a shotgun and announc- ed her determination to drive the elder Siler and his sons from the place. From her fort, she is said to have fired five shots at the farmhouse. It is said that as she left the henhouse this morning, Will Siler, from the shelter of the farmhouse shot her down.
 Will Siler, his two brothers and his father, Hays Siler, all are under arrest.
 Mrs. Siler was married about year ago. Her huband deeded to her his interest in the farm upon which his father and three brothers were living. This was in exchange for her deeding to him land which she owned. !
 Mrs. Siler sought to obtain a division of the Siler homestead in order to obtain the interest her husband had deeded her. She brought suit in the courts. The suit was fought by Hays Sl- Ter and his three sons, who had remained at home, and bitter feeling resulted. Mrs. Siler, dissatisfied at the slowness in which the matter was being han 1 dled by the courts, yesterday 1 came to Mountain Home and ask ed her attorney if it would strengthen her claim if she went ] out and lived on the disputed farm. The lawyer advised her against this, telling her that her father-in-law felt bitterly toward her and that trouble would be certain to follow such action.
 Disregarding the lawyers ad- vice, Mrs. Siler went to the Si- Ter homestead after dark, carry ing a shotgun, and barricaded herself in the henhouse. The arrested men say she fired at them every time they emerged from their home.
 This morning a message was re ceived here that Will Siler had shot and killed her. Deputy Sheriff Will Lemon hastened to f. the scene and placed all four of the Silers under arrest.
 The woman's body lay all day in the snow where it had fallen, awaiting the arrival of the cor oner. Owing to the extreme cold, the coroner did go out. Justice of the Peace Robert Ay- Ter took charge tonight and or dered the body removed. He will attempt to hold an inquest i tcnight.
