SEVERE WINTER
PREDICTED FOR
UNITED STATES

A severe winter for the United
States with heavy snowfall and long
continuing cold waves, broken by
warm periods of brief duration, is
predicted by Herbert J. Browne,
widely known ocean meteorologist,
Abnormal condition, he holds, is
pointed to by many factors, includ-
ing the record breaking cold in
many sections of the country this
fall, beginning with the first SHOWS
in the northwest on September 1S,
four days before the official close
of summer. The winter, he be-
lieves, will be followed by late
spring.
Primarily, the predictions are
based upon a study of ocean sur
face temperatures as determined
by the amount of suns heat reach
ing the earth. This solar radiation
for. more than three years has
been below normal. The present
weather situation, he says, indi-
Gates that the world is facing a
condition which will interfere seri
ously with crops, the cold fall and
winter prospect being but forerun-
ners of the next two years. A
serious situation developing in the
southern hemisphere in the crop
year of 1926 to 1927 and in the
northern hemisphere in 1927 is
predicted.
Supported by Scientists
That he is supported by a num-
Der of prominent scientists is dem
onstrated, Mr.. Browne contends,
by the published reports of DR..
Rutger Sernander, professor of
botany in the Swedish national
university of Upsala. This scien-
tist predicts the return in Scandi-
navia and at least some sections of
northern Europe of the "fimbui
winters" that is three winters
without intervening summers, to
the extent at least of a condition
disastrous to the crops of northern
Europe.
The views of DR.. Sernander, Mr..
Browne says, are supported by two
other botanists of high standing,
DR.. Helmut Cans of Switzerland
and DR.. Rolf Nordhagen sof Nor
way. DR.. Cans recently quoted
among other Europeans "as sup
porting Mr. Brownies forecast that
the year 1926 would be like 1916,
the year without summer" but
DR.. Browne today said he had only
quoted Dr. Cans as supporting the
views of DR.. Sernander.
AS for 1916, when ice formed in
the fields as far as Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Browne says 1927, not 1926,
will see a return of approximately
those conditions, not necessarily
with continued cold, but with
sharp cold spells and other condi-
tions at intervals which will mean
great damage to crops.
All factors, of which the condi-
ton of the sun is the most import
ant, Mr.. Browne says, support his
views. The sun, which is described
by the Smithsonian Institution and
others, as a variable star, is for
some unknown reason in period
of low activity with decreased radi-
alton.

declared that they had established

PUBLIC RECEPTION REV., MRS. GRAHAM
 SPLENDID AFFAIR
MANY COMPLIMENTS HEARD ON PROGRAM IN CHARGE OF
 MISS RUTH ECCLES

The public reception to Rev and Mrs Thomas Philip Graham last evening at the Methodist church re flected much credit upon the Ladies Aid and other local ladies who as- sisted, for aside from the exception ally splendid program rendered, the social which followed, including bounteous supper, was greatly enjoy ed by the large number of citizens present, who welcomed the Reverend and Mrs Graham upon their residen- cy in Seward.
 The program prepared by Miss Ruth Eccles, was, according to the prevailing opinion, of unusual bril- liancy, surpassing anything which has been heard in the city for many years.
 A very fine welcoming speech to Rev. and Mrs. Graham was delivered by Mr. C. R. Morford. In compli- ment to the new pastor and his charming wife, Mayor l.. V. Ray, made a few remarks. Rev. Graham responded in appreciation of those present and the citizens of Seward, citing former activities in other fields.
 The second number on the program was songs by school girls; then came a violin solo by Ava Peterson; a vocal solo by Mrs Tumble; then reading by Mrs. Merritt; an organ solo by MT. Tumble and last, vocal duet by Mrs. Moehring and Miss Ruth Eccles.
