UNION COUNTY WEATHER
FAIR DURING FEBRUARY
Government Bulletin Shows Pre-
cipitatiOn Low, But Temper
allure Normal

10
February, in Union county, was a
little dryer and a little warmer this
year than in former years, but, TAX
en- as a whole the month was one
of which Union county residents
should be proud according to the
bulletin of Climataloglcal data, pub
lishcd by the Department of Agricul-
ture giving statistics for that month
which has just been received.
" Tile mean temperature for the
month at Clayton, where DR.. Charlt-
ton watches the thermometers and
rain guages, was forty-one and one
tenth degrees, or three and six
tenths degrees above the normal es-
tabished during the eleven years
the station has been maintained
here The highest temperature TO
be- recorded was seventy-twO degrees
ON the fourteenth of the month and
/ the lowest was one degree on the
. first VThc greatest daily range, or
difference between high and low,
was fifty three degrees on the
fourth day of the month when the
highest temperature was fifty nine
and the lowest six.
IL was slightly dryer than usual,
| too, during the month. IN fact there
was no precipitation recorded at the
( Clayton station when 20 keep up to
standards set there should have
been fifty four hundredth of an
inch, which Dr. Charlton gives as
] the departure from normal. But
the lack of moisture found recon-
lpcnse in the fact that all during
February there were no cloudy days.
: There were, however, thirteen that
We're partly cloudy and sixteen on
which the sun shone its specified
time
Clinton +. Byrnc, observer at Des
Moines, evidently failed to report as
| his section of the bulletin is blank.
}. \. Bauer, Of near Hayden, re-
ported five cloudy days, six partly
cloudy and sixteen full of sun
shine. At his station the first day
of the month also dropped the ther-
mometer in his minimum thermOm-
etcr TO one degree bu5 on the elev-
enth his maximum instrument
climbed to seventy-Swo, or two de-
grees higher than did DR.. Charlton's
on the eleventh. This gave Hayden
a mean for the month of forty-twO
and five tenths degrees, which was
no departure from the normal.
Down at Mosquero there were no
cloudy days. Seven were partly
cloudy but twenty-five were of the
usual New Mexico variet. The
highest temperature in that section
was seventy-llve above and the low
est three degrees above. The OBJ
server failed 10 report the mean but
taking his other figures the mean
temperature for the Mosquero coun
try was thirty-nine degrees, a little
lower than the northern sections
reported.
Miss NJ. l.. Bayne, the observer at
Valley Ommitted her usual report
to the statician in charge Of the
department and no record is given
for that section.

OUR FINE ENTHUSIASM.

manifestation of pride in the results
f the election far greater than this
title city has'ever known.
1t was the first time most of us ever
ook occasion to celebrate. 1t was
he second time in a generation such

he rarest of opportunities and We
made the most of it. We were proud
the election results and we showed

hopeful thing for the farmers of the

hopeful thing for the farmers of the
country.
Our democratic administration has
deserved returning to another four
year term. 1t was not a matter of
giving Wilson a second term simply
because that is a custom. National
issues now at stake. and at stake for
the past two years require that the
man at the helm remain there until
the conflict is over, Wilson has prov
en- conservative in the matter OF en-
tering war if he has done anything to
deserve attention and he can be trust
cd
Those who clamored for war for
political effect find the country did
not want it either in Mexico or in the
world conflict Wilson had found out
ahead of the republicans that the coun-
try did not want war. He had de-
cided on q course that made him
stronger. His administration has
been approved
Wilson is putting his party ahead
Of political adversaries for almost
generation. His disposition of great
ssues has made it possible for demo
cratic power to be felt Policies have
been modernized and views have been
brought up to date until the demo
Gratis find themselves dressed in new
jarty clothes that fit mighty well
They have done so well the past four
years that republican opposition has
lwindled and the effort has been
made to go before the people in the
,ampaign just closing with both par
les supporting many principles al
most the same.
Wilson is sure to hold the strength
If the democrats to where it will be
Jossible to enter another campaign
IN an equal fighting basis and in the
meantime the close results will in
ure good government.

CREDIT TO BRYAN.

In the far west the man who could
ever carry the democrats to victory
hough he tried with all the powers
f seeming great man, this time got
his work for Wilson almost unher-
lded. Although quitting Wilson in
he thick of great fight, William J,
ryan worked in the west hard and
)ng. He went himself and organized
nd talked and talked and organized
nth faith. Last Tuesday the west
esponded and Bryan gave to democra.
an abundant account of his loyalty
nd to Wilson he gave a service that
hould in manner repay the national
eader for the desertion in the midst
f the conflict with Germany.
The effort of Bryan will not be for
often by any of the democratic lead
RS. He will have an expression of
eep appreciation from party leaders
N his work counted in a time when
was needed. Bryan did his cam
nigning in the west alone and almost
Hgle handed. 1t will later be shown
hat where Bryan worked and or
luizcd the democratic state bodies in
IllsCn's interest, there the President
lade new conquests. We will re-
member Bryan.

THREE PERSONS INJURED
IN A DYNAMITED CAR
TWO YOUNG WOMEN ARE CUT BY
FLYING GLASS, AND MAN RE
CEIVES BROKEN LEG BY Elk
PLoSION ON BOULEVARD.

Atlanta, Nov 10.-Two women and
)ne man were painfully injured when
I Forrest avenue-St. Charles avenue
street car was dynamited on North
Boulevard just south of Ponce de Leon
venue
The car was practically demolished.
The explosion was the most terrific
If the recent dynamiting cases. A
number of passengers were on the car.
nut all escaped injury except three.
The injured are:
George L. Porter, of 667 North Bou.
,evard, leg broken at ankle, and sent
o private hospital.
Miss Rosa Belsham, of TAO North
Boulevard, cut by broken glass around
lead and face, and her sister, Miss
Eva Belsham, same address, foot badly
bruised and stunned.

ister came on the night air to tell of
the terrors of such lawlessness. She
was manned for life and the father
sitting at her side in the car had to
witness all of this and bear the suffer
ings of his wounded child as best he
could without ever knowing who COM
mitted the crime.
This was an outcome of the street
car strike in Atlanta. 1t was the
work of some one pretending to be
fighting the fight of labor against cap
ital. 1t was a criminal, whatever his
motive, and his deed will be charged
against organized labor, not in At
lanta alone, but all around the world,
The most ignorant person might be
accredited with better common sense.
In Russia it would be called anarchy
In this country no lawlessness can
be termed worse and thinking people
will not sympathize with organized
labor.
Organized labor will deny respon-
sibility, but responsibility cannot be
shifted so lightly If organized labor
takes the strike route to what is term
ed justice in the way of pay for hon
est toll, then organized labor should
rightly be blamed with the injury done
in maintaining a strike. The strike
route is the poorest way to just re-
Enumeration. 1t gets the strikers
nothing but such awful consequences
as those following in the wake in At
!anta. Labor cannot tolerate such
methods. If it has a member that ap-
proves, then the world will turn its
back on that member of organized la
Dor and class him with the anarchist.
Labor cannot afford to pay such a
price for it's rights. 1t can get them
without the sacrifict of the lives of
nnocents.
That is sorry aspect for organized
labor in Atlanta and the laboring mar
does not deserve to have such ter
rible murder laid at his door. He
doesn't want it and must help to drive
he criminal of this character from
has ranks. AS long as he keeps COM
Dany with the assassin his rights will
of necessity be in jeopardy.

SANS FELICE CIGARS ARE
Sc STRAIGHT AND WORTH 1T

Owing to the greatly increased cost
of quality tobaccos, in fact everything
pertaining to high grade cigars, the
makers of the San Felice cigar, The
Deisel-Wemmen Company, have ad-
vanced the selling price to the JOB
bers and Dealers, and henceforth this
cigar will positively be sold to the
consumer at cents straight instead
of six for a quarter as previously.
The San Felice is national in its
scope and character, having justly at
tained this eminence through its I'M
euualed standard of quality, the ad-
vance in question is absolutely I'M
avoidable. The generous support OF
all men using. quality cigars is earn
estly desired.

NEW HANDS WERE JOINED.

The unexpected occurred in the
election of Tuesday,-something that
has never come out of a national pc,
litical contest The farmer of the
west joined hands with the farmers
of the south and the union of inter
ests sent President Wilson back for
another term. In the meantime Wal
street was eliminated The money in
terests put up one of the hardest fights
in all the history of this country and
made most desperate effort to again
dominate.

aled the boss. 1t was close enough
election to reveal that the manufac,
turing and trading centers along
with the money centers of the coun.
try have interests in common that dc
not run with the interests of the ag
ricultural classes. 1t was the occupa
ton of a people-of a sectiOn-that
set it over against another section.

the era OF Christopher Columbus and
