crop which Is now creating more con-
tention and controversy In the South-

Kit -door affairs In condition to
wltflMnd a siege of excessively bad
weather for the balance of this
mont h.
This bad weather will be particu-
larly severe In all the southern
slates and the eastern sections wltli
most precipitation In the South.
Central America will be flooded. All
of northwestern Europe and thence
in a brond strip through Western
Asia to the Tndlan Ocean will get
very severe weather, particularly In
northwestern Europe. Not no severe
In (Ireat Britain and France us In
the more eastern sections. Western
Australia will get heavy rains. In
our northwestern sections not much
precipitation, principally snow.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about Nov. 17, cross Pacific
sclopo by close of 18, great central
valleys 19 to 21, eastern sections 22.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about Nov. 17, great central vnlleys
19, eastern sections 21. Cool wave
will cross Pacific, slope about Nov.
20, great central valleys 2 2, eastern
sections 24.
The latter will be a severe cold
wave and will carry frosts Into the
cotton belt, putting a stop to much of
the top cotton growth. A great full
In temperatures Is expected from
hear Nov. 16 to near 23. Not far
from Nov. 17 the storms will be ex-
ceedingly severe anil the weather un-
usually bad.
Our predictions that, the Spring
wheat sections east of the Kockles
would freeze we have assurance of
being fulfilled. Most of that section
lias received an abundance of mois-
ture which makes the prospects good
for their next year's crops. For the
uprlng wheat country half the battle
is won for good crops when the aol(
freezes wet Id the Fall.
We took t lie risk early In October
of positively forecasting u tropical
storm, or hurricane, to organize east
of the windward Islands not far from
Oct. HI. Eight days is aboul the lev-
erage time for such a storm to roach
our southern coasts. It was there
from Oct. 23 to 27, causing torrential
rains and pulling down from the
north tho notable cold wave that
struck us Nov. 25 to 27. The hurri-
cane and the cold wave are twins.
When one appears south of us the
other Is sure to come down from the
northwest.
Next year promises damage from
tho Hessian fly In our Winter wheat
fields, particularly where tho wheat
was sown early. We hope that a
thorough lest of our Insect killer will
tio made. Wo believe It will destroy
the llesslan fly. We also believe that
it will restore the health of old fruit
trees by putting a small amount nt
the roots. We .ire almost certain It
will drive away the curculio that of-
ten damages the plum anil other
fruit crops. No one has It for sale.
We give the Information free lo sub-
scribers to fills paper Wt)o enclose
stamp to Poster's Weather flureau,
Washington, 1>. C. All we ask Is
that you may report to us whatever
success you may have wlfh It. If It
is a general success then It will be
given general publicity.

ville, lost a bam by lire recently. It

ji. bale of cotton, wagon and harness,

consumed by the flames. Six other
bales of col ton were damaged, and a
nice mare bndly burned. Origin of
lire Is unknown. Mr. Yeager had no
Insurance.
Mrs. Will DulTey of Westminster

of age, leaving a husband anil three
children.
MRS. LOU MIXON
03. DIED MODDIV
Another good woman has gone to
her reward. Another McKlnney
home Is cast In deepest gloom over
the death of a loved one.
Monday morning at 5 o'clock, at her
residence on North Kentucky Street,
death called for Mrs. Iami Mlxou,
who had |>assed her eighty-third year,
the majority of which had been spent
In the service of the Lord.
Mrs. Mixou was born In Alabama
October 10, 1831, and when only a
girl the family moved to Clay County,
Mis.-, where she grew to womanhood,
and where (die was married. In 1882
the family came from Mississippi to
Texas, settling in McKiiiney, where
she has since lived and reared a fam-
ily of nine children, six of whom
survive her, as follows: Lawrence
l'lttman, and Churllo and Miss Min-
nie Mlxou, live In McKlnucy; Mrs.
■ telle Stiff, Jia 11 as; Mrs. S. C. Euok-
land, Fort Worth; Mrs. Itagland Mo-
mund, New York City. Mrs. Momand
was the only child who was not pres-
ent at the funerul.
The family has long been promi-
nent and were highly respected by
everyone In McKlnney.
At an curly age Mrs. Mixou became
a member of the ilaptlst Church, and
at the time of her death was a mem-
ber of the First lluptlst Church of this
oily. Her life was an exemplary one.
She was consistent, conscientious and
prayerful, and no one could doubt
her sincerelty; and her utter un-
selfishness was a matter of remark.
Funeral services were held at 10
o'clock at the home Tuesday morning
by Dr. E. 10. King.
The pallbearers arc deacons of the
Ilaptlst Church, as follows: Dr. W. T.
Moore, J. S. Powell, T. J. Cloyd, J.
P. Crouch, T. A. Parrls, L. J. Truett,
It. O. Love, Geo, T. Cobb, A. 11.
Planck, A (!. Speck, S. E. Walker, J.
M. Foster, L C. Clifton, Mate Har-
nett.
Hurlal followed the service at
the home, at Pecan drove cemetery,
the Ram J. Massle undertaking estab-
lishment In charge.
Today there Is another new-made
grave In McKlnney's beautiful ceme-
tery—Pecan Orove, over the hill.
Tomorrow another mound of earth,
banked with flowers as a token of tho
esteem In which she was held by her
family and friends, will cover all
flint was earthly of a dear, good wo-
man, and a Christian whose fnltli
never faltered.
