OLD FASHIONED WEATHER SIGNS

In its current issue Farm and Fire
side, the national farm paper publish
ed in Springfield, Ohio, says, of course,
that the best weather prophet in the
world is the United States Weather
Bureau, which is right at least four
times out of five. In regard to the
less scientific guides Farm and Fire
side says:
Here are few weather signs which
are older probably than anyone living
today. Experience has shown them
to be fairly reliable, and some of them
can be explained on scientific basis:
Moonlight nights have the heaviest
frosts.
'The higher the clouds the finer the
weather.
'"The farther the sight the nearer
the rain.
Dew is an indication of fine wealth
er.
When stars flicker in a dark back
ground, rain or snow follows soon.
Expeet a strong wind with stormy
sweathe 1Ban snaolke from aimaeys
hangs near the ground. 8.
- Here are a few in verse. They
have the advantage of being easily re
membered:
"Clear moon,
Frost soon.
Year of snow
Fruit will grow. =
"Rain before seven,
Fine before eleven.
eff the sun sets in gray
= The next will be a rainy day.
when the winds in the south
The rains in it's mouth.
The wind in the west
Suits everyone best.
eff you see grass in January
| Lock your grain in your granary.
Evening red and morning grc
| Help the traveller on his way;
Even gray and morning red
I Bring down rain upon his head.
| When the clouds appear like rocks
| and towers,
The earth's refreshed by frequent
showers.
eff you can get the official weather
report by phone you'd better count or
that first. But the proverbs and jim
giles just. given are better than com
man guess.

TO IMPROVE OAKLAND STREET

A large force of street hands is
busy making extensive improvements
on Oakland street. The heavy drain
of surface water from Sixth avenue
has in the past made this street a dis
agreeable thoroughfare. The authori-

this kind in the future.

to town he was able 10 trot all the
way. The Benchley road has also
been dragged from the city limits and
is in good shape. We have not had
reports on any other county roads. but
suppose others have been dragged
The drag. as The Eagle has long
contended. Is the best road machine
In the world, and with Il more can
be done for a road and IN the shortest
possible time than in any other way.
If every road in the county could be
provided with a sufficient number Of
drags we could have fairly good roads
the year round, except during excep-
tionsl wet spells like that through
which We have just passed.

CALVERT COUNCIL
SLASHED SALARIES
Abolished Office Of City Marshal by
Reducing Salary to 81
Month.

The city council a. rs session the
past week made reductions IN the
salaries Of every official connected
with the city government Salaries
were reduced all along the line. per.
qulsites cut off and the office OF city
marshal practically abolished.
The action OF the council was, in
most instances-that is. all save the
office OF city secretary-;he result OF
an ever-increasing demand by the citi-
zens Of Calvert for reforms in this re-
spect The citizens have long held
that the office OF MAYOR should be one
Of no salary-an office to be sought
for the honor. and not for the salary
and perQuisltes. They were OF the
same mind regarding the office Of al.
derman. As 20 the office OF city mar
shall. they desired that II be controlled
by them through the mayor and board
Of aldermen, but as tina, was impos-
sihle under the present system, and
as the board has in It's power the regu-
lating Of the salary for this office. this
offered a solution OF the matter. so
reduction OF the salary Of marshal 10
the minimum. or one dollar per month.
practically abolishes NE office. The
mayor and board can now appoint a
special officer. one who will be re-
sponsible to them directly, and who
can be removed az any time for in
competency or other causes There
will be no perquisites attached to the
office Of city marshal or TO the office
Of special police 10 be created, this
office to be a salaried one. one that
will be fixed by the board. This is a
method that has been adopted by
many Texas towns, and with much
success.
Salaries cut were:
Mayors salaries reduced from S.
per month and perQuisites to 81 per
month.
City secretary's salary reduced from
S25 to $40 per month
City marshal's salary reduced from
SIS to 81 per month.
Aldermen from s. per meeting to 81
per month, regardless Of the number
of meetings monthly.

DON'T KNOW WHY.

We know why God has made the sun
And all the lesser lights.
And note how well His work was
done,
Which gives US days aud nights.
We know why He has made the sea,
And given man the skill
To guide his ship safe in the lee,
Where ocean waves are still.
We know why winter days are short
And summer days are long.
That birds may have more time TO
sport
And cheer us with their song.
We know why God has made the beast
That tills the fertile soil.
That man may by his labor feast
Upon the fruits OF toll
We know why God has made the trees
And all the fragrant flowers.
And why He sends the pleasant
breeze
To cool the sultry hours.
He has a purpose in them all,
II we but understood.
The beautiful, the great. the small.
Are all made for our good.
But our perceptions not so keen.
We're sadly in the fog.
Why He made the dood and his
doodlno
And her small poodle dog.
