ALL GUESSWORK
Henry J. Cox is a government
weather forecaster at Chicago,
and he might have remained un
known to the world had he not
come out in the Chicago papers
a few days ago with words that
will cheer many million. He had
heard, as many of us around
Maupin have heard, the predic
tion that the years 1926 and 1927
would be years without summer.
He says such statements have
caused farmers unnecessary
worry, despite the fact that such
predictions are all guesswork.
"No one can foretell the severity
or mildness of winter," he de
clares, "and the so-called experts
.who predict a winter so long
there will be no spring or sum
mer are doing the American
people an injustice. It is all
bosh. " That is a cheering meS'
sage, and from a man who knows
about the weather. Yet if we
do happen to have a backward
spring, as is often the case, we
suppose his life will be made
miserable by the "I - told you
so's." A NEW PROTECTION
Three years ago Uncle Sam de
clared war on imported bulbs,
particularly those from Holland.
He gave American seedsmen and
florists plenty of time to get rid
of their stocks, and now an em
bargo has been put on. A few
selfish ones are claiming it is un
fair. But Uncle Sam knows his
business, and he knows that
dangerous insect pesta have been
coming to this country in im
ported bulbs, pests that work
havoc with our wheat, corn, cot
ton, tobacco and other crops.
We got the boll-weavel, the corn
borer and other pests from the
Unexcelled
For Baking
all kinds of
old world, so why not stop im
portation long enough to show
foreign growers that we want
nothing that jeopardizes our agri
cultural interests? Once again
Uncle Sam is right and if the
bulb people over here are real
Americans they will admit it and
show a proper spirit of coopera
tion. ,
AN EDITOR'S SONG
We read an editor's "Psalm of
Life" a' few days ago, and it fits
our own case so well that we are
passing it on to our readers in
hope that they, too, will enjoy
it and then furnish such relief
measures as we feel the song
suggests. Here it is:
'How dear to our heart is the
old silver dollar, when some kind
subscriber presents it to view;
the Liberty head without neck
tie or collar, and all the strange
things which to us seem so new;
the wide spreading eagle, the
arrows below it, the stars and
the words with the strange
things they tell; the coin of our
fathers, we're ' glad that we
know it, for some time or other
'twill come in right well the
spread - eagle dollar, the star
spangled dollar, the old silver
dollar that we love so well."
We recently heard of a man
not a thousarid miles from Mau
pin who complained that some
one stole his spare tire while he
was out stealing some wire from
a fence to fix his chains.
The only difference we can see
between the California gold rush
and the Florida land rush is that
the people who go to Florida take
the gold with them instead of
bringing it away.
When you hear of a man get
ting stung by a fake stock sales
man you can wager he is one of
those fellows who "hasn't time
to read the newspapers."
We heard a Maupin women
say the other day that her hus
band had made a bad swap had
quite smoking and taken up
growling.
We have just heard of the lazi

The members of the geometry
class, since they completed their
study of plane geometry with
the close of the fall semester,
have arranged to replace this
subject with typewriting.
Helen Weberg and Alda Pugh
are beginners in typing and
Olive Turner is an advanced
student.

chewing tobacco because he
found it too much work to ex

do not cut their own hair is be
cause they are afraid they may
amputate the last lock. '
There are few divorces in

Maupin school is fortunate in
having a high percentage of
musical pupils and especially to
be envied in 'the opportunity for
first class musical training with
Mrs. Bothwell, whose pupils
ranked above grade in reading
and melody recognition. A
kec 1 interest in the work of
this subject on the part of pupils
who are beginners in music, has
brought the grades up to a very
satisfactory standard for the
time they have been working.
None of Mrs. Deeg's room
have been absent or tardy this
week. That room is" preparing
a sandtable to represent com
mercial imports and exports.
