WEATHER SIGNS
Nothing to Autumnal Win
ter Preparations Of Ami
mails, Bureau Man Says.

Fargo. N. D., July 29.-1ndians Of
North Dakota, as well as the plains
men and their descendants, the farm
ers, are on pretty solid ground when
they use certain signs to tell, what the
weather Tisgoing to be In the next few
s. weather observer at Moorhead,
MINI. But when they say that it is
going to be a bad winter because the
beavers or! muskrats a building
thick walled houses or because the
skunks are digging in early they are
on the wrong track, he adds. Dry,
hard statistics which have been gath
cred in the various U. S. weather bu-
reau ofices throughout the country
tons are wrong, he says.
vogue for a long time-in fact the
ancient jewellers on the site of
Babylon had certain signs to tell
them when a low pressure area was
headed down the Tigris valley and
they thought enough OF them to
chisel them out on clay tablets some
thousands Of years ago, according to
one authority.
These proverbs, according to this
those based on some sound scien-
tife fact and plain superstition.
Two Arc Mixed.
: Sometimes the two classes become
mixed into mi proverb. To say that
a ring arbuQd the moon means rain
is not without some foundation be-
cause this ring is caused by cirrus
clouds which mean low pressure area
and not infreqdently rain. But when
you, say the number Of stars in the
ring tel the number Of days before
the, rain you are stretching the scien-
tifc facts a bit, according to Mr..
Spencer.
Weather harbingers are divided In
to five classes by one weather writer.
The two sound methods are:
1. Inference Of impending wealth
or change from the appearance of the
sky. as rainbow in the morning,
sailor take warning; rainbow at
night. sailors delight" This simply
means that If tHle rainbow is seer in
the morning the rain or storm is west
of you necessarily, while In the eve
ming it is east: AS most weather
changes move from west to east, the
one west of you is apt to be headed in
your direction while the eastern one
is ~retreating. VII 81 I

The coming Of a low or storm are
is usually preceded by In increase in
Temperature and moisture and de-
crease Of pressure. They have their
effect or the animals, plants, etc, in
countless ways. For example, drains
are said to smell before the coming Of
rain. The low pressure area has sim
ply allowed air in drain to expand
and flow out.
!, The three methods Of prognostica-
ton classed as superstition are: :
i. Inferring weather Of the dis
tant future by action Of animals or
plants. BY 9 X
g.. Telling what the weather Is go
ing to be by what 1t was at . certain
time. .(Sunshine on grounding day
means six weeks more WINERY
8. Using some astronomical body
to infer weather changes. In this
connection Mr.. Spencer declares that
there is no such thing as a period of
Auinoxial storms, though many
nearly-intelllgent people believe in
them. Statistics simply do not bear
out the theory that there are storms
and heavy rainfall about March Fl
or September %, he says. r.

ANSWERED BY BANKERS
DR.. Lockhort Sees No Merit iy,
Changes Proposed.

Or. Oliver c. Lockhart Of the National
Bank OF Commerce. writing in the
banks publication, points out as un-
necessary and undesirable the numerous
proposals made to expand the scope Of
their operations. Asserting that their
reserve and Investment policies are be-
ing developed 10 obtain tho greatest
elasticity and stabilization OF financial
movements, he adds:
while the adequate employment of
reserve bank assets presents problems
OF grave Importance. there is no solid
reason fer expanding the scope Of eligi-
BILE investment. Some extensions sue-
gested are scarcely suited to y reserve
system OF commercial banking. nor DO
they seem essential to the maintenance
OF a proper balance of the American
money market"

s55. 900 900, compared with s49,945,506,
according to estimates based on business
for the first ten months OF the year. The
margin of profit, however. will be
smaller than last years. owing to the

Of the year, advancing wages. increased
costs Of materials and railroad congcs-
tion. However. earnings probably will
cover the dividend requirements OF
