WEATHER BUREAU CHECKS MERCURY The U. S. Weather Bureau is again aiding the citrus fruit growers of this vicinity in combating the frost menace during the coming winter. Officials of the bureau are stationed throughout the citrus districts of So. Calif., each winter, to conduct temperature surveys, and to issue minimum temperature forecasts for the benefit of those who do orchard heating. Mr. Harold A. Rathbone, who handled the work in this district last year, is again in charge for the coming season. It is the aim of the Weather Bureau to make this work of maximum benefit to the growers of this section, and with this in view, special attention is being paid to thermometers and their exposure. All growers are strongly urged to submit their instruments to the local official in charge for examination. Those having thermometers which were purchased through the Fruit Growers' Supply Co. should have the markings upon the glass stems waterproofed, so that exposure to the weather will not cause the calibrations to come off. This type of instrument is especially made for orchard use by one of the world's best instrument manufacturers, and its accuracy is unquestionable. The price of this thermometer is very moderate, and well within reach of all. Special attention will be given to instruments of this type, although other good makes will be carefully examined. This work will be done without cost of any sort, and fruit growers should avail themselves of the opportunity. It is suggested that those wishing the service should bring their thermometers to their packing house managers, plainly marked with the owner's name and address. All instruments should be in before November 20, as it will be impossible to take care of the FIRE HOSE IS MIGHTIER THAN SWORD AGAINST SEPARATISTS IN PALATINA Acting Governor Riederer of the Palatinate Province directing use fire hose in checking advance of separatists.

The town fire hose has proved a better weapon than guns, sav leaders. It is suggested that those wishing the service should bring their thermometers to their packing house managers, plainly marked with the owner's name and address. All instruments should be in before November 20, as it will be impossible to take care of the work after that date.

Arthur Gwathney, 60 years old and a cripple, who has been a tenant farmer all his life, henceforth will till his own acres Gwathney is now the proud possessor of 100 acres of "real" farm land. Some time ago Gwathney heard calls for help from a road near his home. Upon reaching the spot he found W. W. Fox, prominent citizen of Clanton, and his wife, pinned beneath their burning automobile, which had skidded and overturned. Though physically unable to offer aid, Gwathney summoned others to the scene. When the rescuers, fearing an explosion of gasoline tank, hesitated to approach the burning car, be called upon them to "follow me." Inspired by the old man's example, the rescuers quickly raised the car and extricated the injured couple. A moment later the gasoline tank exploded. Mrs. Fox died from her injuries, but Fox recovered. Fox, in gratitude, has deeded a farm of 100 acres, worth close to $10,000 to Gwathney and says he is getting a larger return for this property than any he has ever sold. Gwathney is the father of seven children. Both himself and his wife are feeble and the family had always been in rather needy FRACTIOUS WATER HARD TO MANAGE WASHINGTON, November 15—Checking a herd of stampeding cattle is "child's play" compared with controlling water on a rampage, according to the department of the interior. This is one of the greatest problems government irrigation engineers have to contend with in releasing waters from storage dams in the west for irrigation projects. Frequently waters thus release ed, the department states, become unmanageable and do much damage to property. The water often attains a velocity twice the speed of an ordinary freight train. Government engineers are constantly experimenting with safety valves in order to make the re leasing of water safe and constructive and not endanger the lives or property of people below the dams.

"Because of the fact that I believe in my mind that my wife's family connections were virtually responsible for our separation and because of their continual meddling in our personal affairs, I have deemed it wise to include such provisions," the will reads. By living apart from her family, the will states, Mrs. Randolph must live in another city. Visits are not taboo, but during the time of any visit with the family, the will explains, the income is reduced automatically to $200 per month. 4 HUNTERS KILLED NEWARK, Ohio, Nov. 15.—Four hunters, all of Columbus, were killed at Frazeyburg today when struck by a Pennsylvania train.

Hard on the heels of McAdoo's departure for his home in California after several days of consultations here, Judge Rockwell issued a formal statement which rays in part: "Mr. McAdoo can and will speak for himself when the time to speak arises. It would not be candid; however, with many press representatives who have asked if political developments are not probable should I seek to disgrieve the fact that Mr. McAdoo's friends believe he will offer for the presidential nomination that he will be nominated and that he will be elected. "We have heard in the last three days from more than 40 states. That the whole country is calling aloud for leadership is manifest. We affirm that Mr. McAdoo is the one great figure now available in our party." Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad.
