16 and Hi to 20. cool waves 14 to IK
mill 18 to 23. These will cover the
period of very dangerous storms caus-
ing heavy showers in many places and
followed by killing frosts that will go
further south than usual. These
storms will cause rains in a number
of places in tho best Winter wheal
sections and will put the soil in con-
dition for sowing Winter wheat.
Therein many mistakes will be made
because a largo part of the beat Win-
ter wheat country will fall to make a
good wheat crop for HID. One of
tho big questions the Winter rain far-
mers must decide Is whether to sow
Winter grain or sell the seoil ujul rely
on Spring crops. 1 urn advising the
latter for lurgo sections.
Next warm wave will reach Vun-
couer a.ltout Scpt.2l and temperatures
will rise on all the Pacific slope. It

very few people, not even V. S.
Weather Bureau scientists, under-
stand the most simple features of u
drouth. t'Jscoessive evaporation causes
drouth. I jess than usual rain does
not make a drouth because, ovaporu.
lion being absent, the moisture re-
mains in the soil and crops will not
fall lint merely not make big yields,
.drouth* are predicted on the force*
that produce excessive evaporation.
The same amounts of rain sometimes
produce fair crops, at other times
crops fall.
When there arc no drouth condi-
tions tho amount of rain depends on
two distlnot and separate causes; the
location ol the evaporation of sou
water and the force of the storms
that cross tho continent from west to1
east. The hurricanes constitute |
third cause not yet well understood,
but might be easily worked out if the,
It. S. Weather I 111 lean would gel busy.1
These Hullctins will keep you In-)
formed, u month In advance, about,
the Groat Drouth. The showers that
come with severe storms will producej
most rain east, ol' Kockies in the mid-j
dlo northwest, decreasing southward, i

origin. The only relation ii has to
bituminous coal is that coal is carbon
and vegetation could not have come
Into existence without the carbon that
has gone Into the soil from the coal
beds. Vegetable mold has gone into
the sens and oceans and been covered
by other erosions that are carried by
rivers. The weight, piled onto the
vegetable mold, presses the oil anil ol
It und there We get petroleum. The
electric currents passing through the
Karl It's surface, sometimes ignite* the
petroleum and a volcano is started. If
there are coal beds near they Join In
(he conflagration. Coal beds alone,
without petroleum, never start a
volcano.The groat coal beds are found
on the bottoms ol' ancient salt waterj
oceans, the volcanoes, extinct and
active, are near the coasts of the old
continents After the Mississippi cut
through the owirks it emptied Its
waters and vegetable mold Into the
Mexican gulf, which covered Texas
Oklahoma and northern Mexico and
hence those (treat oil fields Official
science says that petroleum Is or
vegetable origin, but It Is a inlstaki
to call it coal oil. My hypothesis for
bituminous coal. petrolem, natural
gas and volcanoes agree with all the
tacts and laws of Nature,

Lieut. John W. Housowrlght lias re-
cently been visiting his father, It
Mousewrlght, and other relatives and
friends at Wylle, since the close of
the officers training camp at Quautico
Virginia, where he was awarded his
commission. Ho enlisted in the IT. H.
Marine Corps soon after the United
Stalls declared on Germany and
was sent to Santo Domingo, In the
W*t Indies, but was recalled to the
•UtN eeverul months ago to attend
the officers school, where ho was auc-
cessful In winning his commission as
above slated. After concluding his
visit to Wylle relatives he was order-
ed to Haiti, where he will assist In
training soldiers for service with the
American army that Uncle Sum Is or-
ganising to overwhelm the Hun.
Uout. Mousewrlght Is the only Wylie
boy to receive a commission and also
holds another honor in that he Is the
first and only officer of the U. 8.

Why do we neud nurses? First, be-
en use ailequute nursing service is nec-
e> -ary to the health, comfort and
safetj of our men lit the army and
navy and in the training camps. Sec-
ond. nurses must cure for tho futnl-
11i« • ol our fighting men. Third, the
live.-, of children -our future clliacns
must be saved. Fourth, our hos-
pitals must bo iiiailltaiiieil. Fifth, com-
inanities must be protected from cpl-
: demies and disease and tile desola-
tion I hat follows. What kind of nurses
,.11'e needed7 Trained experts are need-
led tiood-will and devotion cunnot
take Hie place of knowledge, experi-
ence and skill. Where we substitute
untrained for trained nursing service
we must be prepared to pay in lives.
This sucvlHce should be unnecessary.
How many nurses are needed? One

1,ond011, Sept. 10.—The past week sets a new mark for Foch's tai -
J Ileal successes. Tho British rupture of the Wotan line has demonstrated
■ that no defense line the Oerinans aro capable of constructing can
. withstand the allies, while the Franco-Americans' capture of the Tor-
| ny Sorny plateau forced the retreat of the enemy from the Vesle. The
llrltish crossing of the Canal du Nord, flfty yards wide with a tlfty-
< 1 foot stone wall on the sides and containing no water, was likewise a «
I! brilliant war achievement.*
The week's summary shows a tlorman retreat on 11 175 mile front
to a depth of from one to seventeen miles, shortening the front by thlt-
• • ty miles. The British, contesting ninety miles of tho present 146-inlle
!! buttle front, reclaimed 380 square miles, one-fourth of which Is In the
| J l.ys sector, where the enemy retreated from one to six miles on a
t'Wenty-mlle front. Prisoners taken numbered 19,000 and the villages re-
• • taken 129.
The French reclaimed 430 square miles, including forty equnre
| miles taken with the aid of the Americana 279 villages and about
'' 4,000 prisoners. The deepest advance was at Tergnier, where the French
• > are pushing up the Olse to avoid a frontal attack on the wooded hllla ot
! St. Oobaln, while the Franco-Americana are trying to outflank the mas-
| slf by striking along the Alane valley.
Tho Oermana retain very little of the 1019 gaiaa
They retain a atrip of about twenty-live ml lea, averaging three
; miles •wide, In Flandera, and about forty mllea, averaging a width of aav-
! en mllea, on the Homme, while on tha Alane they have thirty mllee oi
ground, about lva mllea In width.
Thua out of 9.T90 aguare miles won by the Oermana at auch heavy
| sacrifice, they retola but 9T0 square mllea today.
