er a perilous stunt and apparently half
the town was there to see If he could
make il safely or come to a finish on
the piled-up bricks beneath As the
plank which served for standing room
touched the ground the crowd broke
up into SO many individuals hurrying
to wherever they were going-eXcept
the woman with the camera. Another
woman. noting her obvious disappoint-
ment, asked if she had been able to get
a snap.
'Oh. In a way. buff I hadn't had
my kodak along he would probably
have fallen and been mashed all to
pieces"
She said it with the air Of one entitled
to grudge, but when the other wom-
an showed her establishment she ex-
planned affably:
"Of course. I don't want accidents to
happen on my account. you understand.
but I'd love to be around some time
when they do. I'm in a camera contest
and the picture with the hardest punch
to it will get a prize"

weeks of middle part Of December
promises colder than usual. Not 30
many storms, nor 30 severe, as we
have been experiencing.
Our forecasts for october hit the
mark. The great storms, the temper
atures and the preciptations were well
foretold with only few local errors.
High temperatures near Oct. s, low
during middle weeks and great rise
near 2Sth marks notable success for
planetary meteorology.
We do not regard the very high
prices Of cotton and grain, recently
reached, as safe for producer, dealer,
manufacturer or consumer. Az we
see It the safest course for producers
Is to sell. moderate spectators should
stay out Of the market and the con-
sumers are at the mercy Of the great
spectators. Just now we see no way
out Of It for the consumers.
The great planet Jupiter now shows
up in the eastern horizon soon after

Jupiter was considered good and Sat.

on the human race and individuals.
We do not know as to the truth Of that
theory, but we do know that our bad
weather comes largely from Saturn's
and our most beneficial weather from
Jupiter's electromagnetic effects on
the earth's atmosphere.
