which is different from the usual con. dition at the period of the equinox.
 Larvas of insects are deeper ill the earth, field mice and other burrowing animals are nesting deeper, and bark on new wood is much thicker. and weeds are thicker where roots will need pro- lection. All these indicate severe freez- ing.
 In almost every section of the country where there was a shortage of rainfall during the Summer months, Autumn rains have repienished running springs, and if cold weather does come livestock will not suffer for the want of water.
 Rainy Autumns are pretty certain in- dications of severe freezing during the Winter, while dry Autumn months often foretell mild, open Winter.
 Autumn leaves tinted with frost indi- cates early Winter, but when the leaves die and fall off without frost the Winter will hold off late, but be more than ordi- nary cold.
 Corn husks and the cnaA on grain were heavier this season than common. and weed seed are retained in heavier coverings than are usually noticed
 Our weather is the result of a cause, and if We only get at the cause we can easily foretell the result. Watch and see how these predictions compare with the actual results.

The Kind of Winter We're Going Have Foreto Caterpars

while the cold will be intense in the more northern portions, and all through the northern part of North America, the tenn perature will range far below normal dur ing great portion of our Winter period
 It has been many years since the Yer nal Equinox was on the 2d of September.
 It has been more than century since the United Sta.es experienced as little disturbances at the equinox. as was ex- perienced this year. No storms of any degree appeared except along the north Pacific Coast
 In this part of the world the lows and highs, as we are used to speaking of the relative atmospheric conditions. which move across the country, producing the changes in our weather, were moving slowly as at any other time in the year.

country to such an extent that the Fall months are almost equal to Winter.
 Last Winter was noted for its cold streaks, and one of these was the wonder fully warm spell in the middle of the time allotted us for Winter. The tenn perature was up to Summer heat in many of the middle and western sections. but it will be just the opposite this Winter. We shall have temperatures be- low normal in January and February. Winter will be shorter than it has been on some former occasions, but we will be satisfied when it begins to moderate.
 After the most intense cold we have experienced for years we shall have mild spell, and great thaws and floods will result, and folks will be congratu- lating themselves on the likelihood of an early Spring, but it would be advisable to wait until the forecast of the truthful caterpillar has been realized.
 If the indications hold good, we shall have a very late and backward Spring. with real Winter at the time we should have fine Spring-like weather.
 The caterpillar shows light in front, fol lowed with very well defined dark spot of considerable size, and this dark indi- cates our midwinter snap.
 Then the light appears again. and this indicates the warm spell, and if there was no more dark there would be prospect

of very early Spring, but another dark spot appears toward the rear of the cater pillar, and this will bring the late and un- seasonable cold at the time we should have our mild weather.
 Last Winter was noted for its unusual severity in some of the Southern States. where we naturally expect mild climate.
 The far North, where we naturally ex- pected severe weather, had mild Winter, and these conditions were due to the fact that, most of the seismic disturbances during the last months of last year were in the North.
 The earthquakes during the past few weeks have been more noticeable in the southern portion of the northern hemis- phere, and this will modify the weather in the southern sections of our country,

gone to the front as a Red Cross nurse.
 The Duchess of Westminster is very handsome and comparatively youthful, and therefore all the more likely to cause trouble at the front She is noted for her skittishness and fondness for violent sports. Her husband from whom she has separated, complained about her excessive indulgence in skating and tobogannng.
 Observe that the Duchess of Westminster has to be accompanied by her "favorite wolf hound" Just as the Duchess of Suther land had her bouquet of flowers, this one must have her pet dogl The officers in charge of the difficult work of keeping up railway communications with the army had to provide accommodation for this usele, animal.
 We can see, too, from the Duchess's pie lures that she has made the simple nurses costume as attractive and coquettish as possible. She has left nothing undone to make herself disturbing influence at the front.
 A different type of troublesome society woman is Lady Dorothie Fielding, daughter of the Earl of Denbigh, who has also gone to the front as Red Cross nurse. She is very young and frivolous and may be seen simpering and chattering, surrounded by group of admiring officers.
 It need hardly be said that such a young girl has no business near the unspeakable horrors of this war, but such is the frivol- ity and curiosity of feminine nature that these women cannot be kept away.
 The English authorities have generally refused permission to all ordinary women to go to the scene of war, or even to France or Belgium. The nurses uniform is a garb in which any curious and interfering woman can overcome this prohibition
 Many of these titled nusances have gone to the front with much more encumbrances than a pet dog. One of them took with her a French ladys maid, an English lady's maid and private secretary, who also is a skilled hairdresser. All these attendants formed part of a nursing contingent equipped by the Countess.
 Assisted in this ample manner the Countess expected to help the poor sol dier who had been snatched from the bat tlefeld and to nurse him back to life.
 There is one woman of conspicuous rank whose care for the wounded can arouse no criticism. She is the Queen of the Be gians. The Queen went through a com

outrageous firtations, interrupted the con yalescence of the wounded, and must have been responsible for not few deaths.
 Strange to say, the Duchess of Westmin. ster was a victim of sope of these sirens for the young duke, to whom she was then only engaged, became entangled with the most notorious of them during the Boer War.
 The thoughtless women are much more strongly attracted to the present scene of war, for the distance is shorter and the ex. citement greater.
 It is clear to sensible people that there is plenty of appropriate work for wealthy women who wish to help the soldiers and sufferers in the war. They can subscribe and collect money for the use of hospitals and regular nurses. They an collect clothes and other useful supplies for the soldiers and forward them through the regular channels.
 This is the, kind Of work that the Amer ican Duchess of Marlborough is carrying on with admirable energy. She is the head of the Committee of Mercy, which is taking care of war refugees, principally women and children from Belgium. Mrs. Waldorf Astor is another American woman who is doing a good work. for the wounded sol diers
 The quiet useful labor at home does not satisfy the women who crave the excite ment of war; the near proximity of danger and the smell of powder Psychologists recognize distinct type of abnormal per sonality in those women who find pleas ure in lingering near scenes of bloodshed.

 one that will be remembered for A many years, on account of some very unusual features.
 Every indication points to late and beautiful Autumn, with but few killing frosts more than month later than con- mon, and very unusually warm in some sections, where fruit trees will bloom and many forms of vegetation such as we are accustomed to see only in early Spring will appear, and thousands of persons will gather greens just as they do in the early part of April in most parts of the country. In the far eastern portion of the country and pretty well south along the mountains of our Southwestern States, frosts and even ice will come pretty early, and some forms of vegetation will suffer. but later there will be the finest kind of weather, resembling Summer, which will extend far into the last months of the year.

p1ete course of study and took her diploma as doctor and then went through two years training as nurse. She has visited the hospitals where the wounded Belgian soldiers were lying, regularly and daily from the beginning of the war.
 She has always shown an intelligent un- derstanding of the needs of the patients and has undoubtedly been of service ill improving the condition of the hospitals and in obtaining supplies for them. Her visits have been carried out quietly and unostentatiously and she has not allowed any of the officers or doctors to interrupt their work to wait on her.
 Such intelligent supervision and care for the sick would have been possible only in one who had a thorough medical training The Queen is the only woman of her rank who has had such training, and it is evi- dent that practically no women of the titled classes generally have this preparation.
 The Queen of the Belgians also had an excellent reason for being on the fighting line, for her country had been invaded by the enemy. This reason does not belong to the English women who are going to the front.
 It is evident that the English are suffer. ing from a recurrence of what Sir Fred erick Treves, the noted British surgeon. called 'the plague of women" during the Boer War. When the surgeon discovered the swarm of society women disguised as nurses who had gone to the front on that occasion he was hot with indignation.

In small town every person in town practically knows that you are in business and what you have to sell. It is the outside people who do not know this that it is logical to try to reach. These outside people are most generally reached through the medium of an exclusively weekly paper, which is always better than a weekly rehashed from the great mass of hot air, hog wash, munchauenisms, pipe dreams and general phantas- magoria, polite al and otherwise, with which the average daily paper is filled. Hence, an exclusive weekly is in class by itself as an advantageous advertising medium. Prescott Courier.
