By the Ext Committeeman

Marking the opening of the cam
paign in this State for the election of
the Republican Presidential ticket, the
State League of Republican Clubs will
assemble for a two-day meeting at
York the last week in September.
President Willard announced last
night that he had received acceptances
from virtually every organization in
Pennsylvania affiliated with the State
League. During the meeting it is ex-
pected that addresses will be made by
Candidates Charles E. Hughes and
Charles W. Fairbanks as well as by
former President Roosevelt. Presi-
dents of the various State ~organiza-
tons will also speak, a will former
Governor Stuart, Isadore Sobel, Fred
erick w. FleitZ and JOIN b. Robinson.
Nothing but business having to do
with the Republican Party in this
State and plans for its restoration in
national politics will be considered at
the meeting in York. A definite pro-
gram for the campaign to be waged in
this State will be mapped out with each
sectional organization lending its
hearty support.
With a meeting of the executive
COIllIllllS6 Oh llG local OpllOn COIIl-
mite of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
early next month, there will be set in
motion the machinery of a vigorous
campaign to give the State a county
local option bill in 1917. In the Legis-
lature two years ago petitions and
mas meetings were ignored. This
year there will be less speechmaking
forces will work through organization
and personal appeals to voters. To
this end, the State has been organ
ICED as it never has been before. The
local option committee has an organ
ization in every county, legislative dis
trict and senatorial district Allegheny
county has a committee of 1000. A
similar organization in Philadelphia
already has 1850 names enrolled. The
A~nti-Saloon League Of Pennsylvania,
the federation of churches, commit
tees of physicians, lawyers and busi-
nessmen are working under one lead
ership toward the same end. In for
mer campaigns each organization
worked as a unit.
Candidates for the Legislature
who were nominated at the May pri-
maries have received the following
letter from the local option committee:
You are a candidate for the Legis-
lature in the November election. This
committee is interested in the attitude
of legislative nominees or the question
of local option.
DO you favor the local option prin-
ciple?
I'm the event of your election in
November, will you vote for a county
local option measure in the 1917 ses-
sion of the Legislature?
Your answe TO these questions will
be appreciated, since it will determine
whether you should have the support
OF the opposition in your campaign of
the local optionists and all the voters
who believe that such important ques-
lions should be submitted to a vote
of the people in the district affected"
while 1t is too early to form any
opinion as to the situation, enough re-
plies favorable to local option have
been received from candidates to indi-
cate that the uprising of the people
during the legislative season of 1915
has had its effect.

WEATHER BUREAU
REAL FORECASTER
Uncle Sans Weather Men Issue
Warning Against Long Dis
tanoe Prophecies.
ALL NATIONS USE SCIENCE

a warning has been issued by the
United States weather bureau
against "long-range weather fore
casting" and particularly against
new scheme for weather predicting
said to be based on the spots and
riffs in the sun.
Solar phenomena OF the kind described
do not have any direct influence upon
the weather at any particular time and
place and. therefore. cannot be made the
basis OF weather forecastlng." says the
bureau II continues:
Spacious references to the moon to
the planets and TO the spottedness Of the
sun and its shafts OF radiation alleged 70
dominate terrestrial weather are but
picturesque frsmeworks upon which to
display weather forecasts for sale
The United States weather bureau IL
the authorized agency OF the government
to collect meteorological observations
and TO make and issue weather forecasts
and warnings, and every important ma
ton OF the world has a similar organiza-
tion. All arc using essentially the same
methods all are alert TO utilize the real
developments OF science and to improve
and perfect methods and results. and all
condemn and disspprove the methods and
theories Of the long-rangers.
TRIES to Ne UsefuI.
The weather bureau Is endeavoring
to render a useful service 20 the aEri-
culture, commerce and navigation Of the
country, and the chief OF the bureau
is prompted to state openly and en-
phatically the views OF the bureau on the
questions presented in the foregoing, be-
cause the general public is entitled 10
know that the government officials pro-
nounce this new scheme fallacious, and
place it In the same class with other
methods OF long-range forecasting based
on lunar, planetary magnetic, and astro-
logical considerations"
On the subject of weather taking in
general the bureau says:
Throughout its history the weather
bureau has been called upon from time
to time to caution the general public
against the too credulous belief in al
legged new systems for forecasting the
weather for weeks or months in ad-
vance. or in schemes for the artificial

years ana was the oldest man up
till Wednesday night who had Sc
cured license. Francis Levi Nor
rison, eighteen years of age, is the
youngest so far.
Licenses were issued in record
breaking time Wednesday. Deputy
Reidner assisted Mr.. Wollthan who
pried into the innermost secrets of
the applicant. He was required to
inform the sovereign state of Mime
sofa as to the age, weight, height,
complexion, color of eyes ana the
length of residence in the state to-
gether with the signature of the ap-
plicant. Licenses were turned out
at the rate Of about three a minute
which gave Deputy Reidner no time
to smoke big1 black cigar of which
he was particularly fond.
Reports from the game fields yes
terday indicated the presence of hum
dreds of birds which could not fly.
This is attributed to the fact that
the cold weather in the early nesting
season chilled many of the early eggs
and the mother ducks were obliged
to return to the task of raising an
ether family. These broods are now
just at the age when they do not
afford good craftsmanship to hunt.
Many hunters prefer to eat this kind
of birds but others say the birds are
not fit to eat till they have fed on
grain for some time which takes
away the strong taste of mud.

LIGHT DEMAND FOR
!. HUNTING LICENSES
Fewer Sold this Year than Last
But Auditor WoIIthan Has
Bigger Rush Day

When County Auditor WoIlthan
closed his Office at the court house
Wednesday night which was the last
day in which to secure hunting IL
censes before the hunting season
opened, 293 licenses had been issued
to residents of Stevens county. The
number was just 1O7 less than were
issued up to the same day year ago.
The figures indicate a forgetfulness
on the part of sportsmen else they
were not so eager to get chance at
the first shooting this year. Licenses
will be issued until the closing day of
the hunting season. and the number
of hunters this year may yet equal
or exceed the number who enjoyed
the shooting legally last year.
Wednesday was the busiest of all
busy days at the county auditor S
office. Everybody seemed to want
their licenses on the last day and, of
course, all who came were accommo-
dated. License applications began
to come in several days ago. J. E.
Peterson, of Donnelly, secured the
first license and thinks he is entitled
t. the first duck. J. E. Clark, OF
Chokio, heads the list of veteran
shooters. He gave his age at sc
