NO THUNDERsTORMs IN OCTOBER
Is First Time Since 1908, According
to Weather Report.

Is First Time Since 1908, According
to Weather Report.
The monthly summary of weather
conditions for the month of October
just issued by George Reeder, in
charge of the weather bureau here
shows that it is the first time since
1908 that thunderstorm has not been
recorded in the month of October.
There were 2173 hours of sunshine
for the month, which is II per cent
less than a year ago, and IS per cent
of the total hours. There were four
teen clear days, six cloudy and eleven
partly cloudy. The average daily tenn
perature for the month of October
was 5S degrees which is 3.2 per cent
above normal. The weather was cool
er than the same month last year.
The total precipitation was 1.55 inches,
which is 81 of an inch below normal,
but greater than last year FOR the
same month. The higest tempera-
ture was SO degrees, which is higher
than any year since 1909 when the
was 80 degrees.

condition. Carlton and johnson, the
tackles, are crippled as a result of
the Baylor game last Saturday. No
guard. with the exception of Fat"
Comfy, Is in first-class condition. Cap
tain Dittmar, center is slightly in
jured, but the Texans are counting
on his whipping his opponent, even
though it be Captain Lansing or
Hamilton, for the Longhorn pivot man
has never been outplayed since his
freshman year. Not even the Notre
Dame center was able to cope with
him.
The Texas ibackfield which will en-
ter the game Saturday will be COM
posed of punters, passers, and run
ners and line smashers. Just how far
they will get no one knows, but from
the lesson learned in the Baylor
game the Longhorns may be expected
to upset all dope"
H. R. Clay, a 1915 Missouri end,
now student in the School of Law
of the University of Texas, will repre-
sent the Daily Texan at the game,
covering it play by play for the score
board in the university gymnasium.
Trainer Billy Disch, coach of the
Texas baseball team, is with the team
and will doubtless talk with Missouri
authorities concerning baseball Sc
ries between the two schools in the
spring. Make" Hart, the Texas left
end, is captain of the baseball team.
Baltic, one of the right ends, is pilot
of the Longhorn basket shooters, but
owing to the poor support of basket
ball here it is hardly probable that
Missouri and Texas can meet in that
sport. -..
The Texas lineup for the game
will be: Hart, left end; Carlton, left
tackle; Comfy, left guard; Dittmar,
center; Harwell, right guard; John
son. right tackle; Dolan, right end;
Trabue, quarter; Hedick, fullback;
Lang, right half; McMurray, left
half.

MAYHS TALKS TO FARM CLUBS
State Board Unable to Supply Speak
-ers for All Meetings.

Jewell Mayes, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, has returned
from Ray County where he addressed
three farm clubs. Ray County has
twelve farm clubs, all of which were
organized during the last three
months. says Mr. Mayes. The demand
for club meetings is at this time far
beyond the ability of the State Board
to supply field workers.
Mr.. Mayes says that within the last
three years the interest in agricul-
tural organizations has never ap-
preached the activity now evidenced
in nearly every section Of the state.
Farm clubs are, being organized in
great numbers. Cooperation and So
cial features are the two points be-
ing given most attention.

lsadore Anderson Of Kansas City, a
, former Tiger star, acted as his as
sistant. Texas had a well coached
eleven, with one individual star, Tex
Ramsdell, afterward chosen on the
All-American team while playing at
Pennsylvania. Texas scored 4 points
in the first fifteen minutes of play
with field goal from the 34-yard
line. The Longhorns tried three
other kicks. Missouri Blocked two,
and the third was missed by a close
margin. The Missouri score was
made late in the second half. Five
times the Tigers were within fifteen
yards of the goal line, only to loose
the ball on downs. With only three
minutes to play the Tigers began a
march down the field from their own
4O-yard line. They rushed the ball to
the Texas 10-yard line. On the last
down, with ten yards to gain, Doctor
Monilaw sent in a substitute named
Colopius, who carried the ball over for
the much needed points and a Mis-
souri, victory. The goal was missed.
A tumble by Tiger gave Texas
chance f0p a field goal. The Texas
kicker missed by inches, as the
whistle blew announcing the end of
one of the greatest games ever seen
on Rollins Field. Curly" Ristine,
"Tarkio" Crane, Deatherage, Alexan-
der, and "Tubby" Graves were the
Tigers who played wonderful football
for Missouri in this game.

Los Angeles the proud city of the
Pacific coast. Not a dollars worth
of all that is produced in this coun-
ty has to be shipped out to pay
heavy freight charges, in order to
find a market, The community af-
fords voracious demand for every
onion, radish, cucumber, strawher-
ry, cabbage, apricot, peach and rails
in which is raised there, and the
climate is not at all to be compared
with the unparalleled climate of polk
county.
The moral of this story, which
can be proven easily by any man
who cares to take the trouble, is,
that these people, thirty years ago,
realized their opportunity, had an
unbounded faith and confidence in
what they had and, consequently,
have, and are, and will reap the
constantly accumulating rewards Of
their faith and their labors. Polk
county, with it's present state of de-
velopment, could with greater reas-
on, and with far more assurance,
vote $3,50O,O00 for a system OF
roads than os Angeles county could
have voted one million, and yet the
men of this county are only asked to
vote for less than half what those
fifteen hundred people bonded them
selves for thirty years ago. 1t is not
what Polk county can do so much
as what Polk county will do. Tn,
large majority by which the bond
election will carry on June ! viii be
