Weather Forecasts

Weather forecasts for months ahead will
be possible within a few years as direct re-
suit of solar observation, r. M. Stewart, as
sistant director of the Dominion Observatory,
recently told the Royal Astronomical Society
of Canada.
The sun has great influence over varying
weather conditions on the earth, and recent
observations of it have led to the belief that
observatories will be able to predict with &C
curacy the general trend of weather for six
months even a year ahead he said. To
be able to foretell the amount of precipitation
and the general temperature for several
months in advance may take fifty or even 100
years of observation, he added, but expressed
the confidence of the observatory that this
end would be reached.

Cuban Railroads

Railroad travel in Cuba is more expensive
than in the United States and far less COM
Portable. Ordinarily, it takes about thirty
two hours for an express train to cross the
island between Havana and Santiago, and a
ffteen-hour delay is not unusual. From Ha-
vana to the naval base at Guantanamo bay,
counting ordinary delays and an overnight
wait at Santiago, took tree days.
Travellers from the states who want to
see the inland must put up with many dis
comforts, not the least of which is the task
of trying to buy sleeping car reservations. 1t
is almost impossible to buy them at tariff
rates.
Coming over from Havana on a hurried
trip the other day a correspondent was in
formed by ticket seller that he would have
to wait two or three days for a lower berth
There nothing in stock, according to
the agent, but he did not add the informa
tion that reservations could be obtained cas-
lily and quickly from hotel porters, usually

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

(By Reynolds Packing Company
At this time we would call your
attention to conc;der well the live
stock situation.
We believe the cattle market has
reached the low time, and that they
will soon ra.ly-and after tie first
of the year will bring enough more
to pay we'll for the feeding. We will
need them after December the first
and much more SO, after the first of
January.
Hogs may decline gradually until
December-but not very much more.
About the sheep market we have
notning to say. The poor sale for
them has caused the bottom to drop
out
1t will certainly pay you to put up
all the corn, hay and other feed you
can, and feed to stock the coming
year From all indications it will be
the best year you have had for
good many. We will need more than
a car load each of hogs and cattle
every week next year. Don't sacri-
fee your cattle at this time; hold
till we can use them. 32-1t

Mr.. Hugh Smith, secretary-treas-
Irer of the Ohior County Good Roads
Association, presents a statement of
the finances involved in the construc-
ton of the Gibbs road, which ap-
pears in full on another page. 1t oc-
crrs to us that people of Union
City can hardly appreciate the serv-
ices rem Tered by Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Jake Caldwell on this road. If any
two men in the county are imbued
with a opirit of public enterprise Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Caldwell surely are.
We are not forgetting the others in
this movement, but these two good
citizens have gone out of the way and
given days and weeks to this work
without cent of pay. That is not
all. The management is all that
possibly could be expected. No pri-
vate enterprise has been better man
aged. Now the county was expected
to construct the culverts, but the
public subscription had to be used
for this purpose because Number
Thirteen district had no money. So
that much, $1,000 is needed to finish.
Now men, if you have spark of ap-
probation or public spirit of any
kind whatever you will furnish this
money without having these people
come to you again and ask for it and
then come around again and beg you
to pay. God knows, after you have
seen the work that is done and paid
any attention at all to the work
these men are giving to this work,
you will volunteer this balance with
out request or a word. Say people,
call The Commercial. Telephone
your subscription on this balance
and we will report to Mr.. Smith. Do
it now. Don't be utterly selfish
Come on and be a good sport. Say
how much.
