THE SALE-DAVIS COMPANY
ARE LIABLE FOR TAXES
Attorney General Rules They Must
Pay for Seven Years Past.

That the Sale Davis Company is
liable for payment Of corporation tax
es for the past years, even though
the company alleges it has not been
engaged in business in Georgia during
that TIME, T. R. Gress, assistant at
torney general, held Thursday.
The state revenue department had
attempted to collect $3.50 in corpora
ton taxes for the past 7 years with
the addition Of a penalty of so for
delinouence, and company officials
wrote the attorney general to find out
whether or not it was liable for the
tax. The company's letter said that
although it is corporation, chartered
under the laws of Georgia, its business
is confined exclusively to Florida.
Mr.. Gress' opinion said: Your com
pany obtained a charter from the state
Of Georgia which gave the company
certain privileges of value. The tax in
question is levied on the right to do
business rather than on the business.
II is not a matter Of importance to
the state whether you exercise your
privilege under the charter or not, but
50 long as you retain the charter you
retain a valuable privilege given you
by the state of Georgia given Tor
which it demands the tax in question.

Here's what the effect will be the
remainder of this year
An early fall, accompanied by rain

of the United States and Canada, par
ticularly in the Atlantic coast sections,
the Great Lakes regions and the low
er St. Lawrence valley.

California, which should have precip-
itation of 80 inches.
Rains in Nevada, Arizona and New

Generally favorable crop conditions
in the cotton belt
Cessation with the September
equinox of conditions which have de-
prived the southern Appalachian Pied
mont of his customary precipitation.
Beware of early frost in the corn
belt.
Volcanic Explosions.
"One great volcanic explosion in
1926-like that OF Tomboro in the
Dutch East Indies in 1815-will fill
the upper air with clouds of volcanic
dust and still further shut off the suns
heat.
THE growing season in 1927 will
be late, there will be late frosts in the
spring and killing frosts in the late
summer and early fall.
THE government should start buy
ing and storing our surplus wheat
now instead of trying to dump it into
Europe at less than production costs"
DR.. De Lury says that the number
of sunspots during the next few years
will be the greatest in 262 years.
In the Dominion observatory are
charts showing that an increasing
number of sunspots during the period
from 1884 to 1869 had these results:
Increased rainfall and low tempera-
lures.
Greater growth OF the California
redwood trees.
Birds left for the south earlier.
Commodity prices increased, indl-
eating crop failures.
The curves on the charts show that
these conditions were most pronounc-
ed about 1916, or just after sunspots
were most frequent.

BOSTON, Mass.-Better keep your

For Herbert Janvrin Browne, OF

that any weather predictions for more
than few days in advance are pure
gress work, heads the conservatives.
long range weather forecasting, he
saws, is a scientific impossibility.
Browne is not alone in his views,
and the two opinions are certain to
bring clash at the conference.
DR.. r. E. De Lury, assistant dlrec-
for OF the Dominion observatory, at
Ottawa, Canada, backs Brownies opin-
ion and while Prof. H. H. Clayton, OF
tbe Smithsonian Astro-Physical OBJ
servatory, does not hold identical
views he does agree with Browne on
several points.
Marvin will be represented at the
conference by one of his leading me-
teorologists, DIR. William ]. Hum

stand by Prof Charles F. Brooks, OF
Clark University.
Depends on Suns Heat.
Brownies theory is that weather
conditions are mainly the result OF
ocean temperatures; that ocean tenn
peratures depend upon the amount OF
heat generated by the sun; and there
fore. by study of the variation in the
suns radiation, it is possible to pre-
dict accurately what the weather will
be in any given locality years in ad-
vance And so he says:
Beware of 1926 and 1927.
Conditions in 1927 will be particu-
larlv bad. 1t will be Summarizes

Without a Summer, when crop tail
ures brought disaster to the land.
The oceans are great reservoirs OF
the suns heat. They do not, however,
react to it Immediately. 1t takes from
one to five years.
Now in the early part of 1922 the
suns heat fell below normal. By Sep
tember Of that year it had dropped to
its lowest point since 1905.
AT the present time we are feeling
the effects of that drop, and during the
next two years we will feel 1t still
more
The change started last year. The
great dominating currents OF the ant
arctic were chilled and their volume
increased. They then started pushing
