BIG EQUINOCTIAL
STORM IS COMING,
SAYS PROF. SNIDER
J <>< AL WEATHER OBSERVER AN-
NOl NCES THE LA I TER BART
( ■' SEPTEMBER WILL BRIM;
I S TO A COMBINATION OE AS
TRO N O MIC AL I* HEXOM EX A.
“A big equinoctial storm is coming 1
soon,” said Prof. Albert L. Snider,|
Griffin’s celebrated weather prognos- j
ticator, in an interesting interview to- I
day. “The latter part of September .
will bring us to a combination of as- |
tronomical phenomena,” says Mr. Sni
der “therefore the indications are the [
storm will be rough, causing high |
winds with heavy rains, followed by
cool weather.”
September Weather Forecast.
Mr. Snider’s September weather
forecast is as follows:
September I—fair and warm; 2—
fair and very warm weather; 4—
showers and cooler; 9 —showers, fol
lowed by cooler weather; 15—show
ers; 17—fair and very warm; 20—
showers; 26 —showers with high winds
and cooler weather; 28—warm and |
dry; 31—fair and warm.
September will be a fairly good ,
month, but not altogether lovely, for
there will be too much rain in some |
sections for picking cotton. Look outl
for the September gale the last week i
in September, for there will be storms ■
on land and sea.
A Fairly Late Fall.
Mr. Snider predicts we will have the
first frost during the last week in Oc
tober. He anounces that the first
freezing weather may be looked for
the first week in November. The first
snow in this section he says, may be
looked for the last week in December,
winding up with a cold wave.
Mr. Snider’s Almanac.
Mr. Snider, in closing his interview,
announced that the name of his al
manac for 1919 be called Snider’s Sun
shine Almanac, the price of which will
be ten cents. v

PIKEWSttIM
Fin IN FRANCE
J. M. Sims, of Orchard Hill, has
just been advised by the captain com
manding his company that Private
James M. Oliver was killed in action
in the fighting in France on the night
of July 14th. Mr. Oliver was a ne
phew of Mr. Sims. He was a Barnes
ville man and a member of the 151st
Machine Gun Battalion, in which are
a number of Griffin boys. The young
man making the supreme sacrifice
was a grandson of the late Rev. Wash
Oliver, who was well known through
out Middle Georgia.
GIVE WAR STAMPS
FOR CHRISTMAS
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23.—Although
Christmas seems a long way off just
now, the provident planner knows that
December 25 comes by lightning-like
leaps after August is past; and al
ready, those who have the w r ish to
give to friends at Christmas time are
mulling over the question.
To begin, the Council of National
Defense is asking that Christmas giv
ing this year be limited in view of the
war; and that luxuries and frivolties
be eliminated from the list of gifts.
In view of this, the best solution of
the difficulty is the one adopted even
as far back as last Christmas by Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw, the national
chairman of the Woman’s Committee.
Dr. Shaw declared that she loved to
remember her friends, and that she
intended doing so, but that she would
send war savings stamps to them in
stead of useless gifts.
The suggestion is a good one to fol
low, because the little stamp will car
ry both the message of Christmas love
and of patriotic devotion.

The Canteen Service of the Ameri

erection of an attractive little “hut”!
opposite t!ie Southern Express Com- i

tion and is better prepared than ever ’
to soldiers passing through
j the city on troop trains. The little
house :s painted wihte and comforta
ble quarters are provided for canteen
workers. To the right a flag pole has
been erected and Old Glory proudly
waves there.
The “hut" is a gift of the railroad
men in the Central yards. Monroe
Emerson, chairman, raised the funds
with which the house was built, the
work of construction being under the
I supervision of the canteen ladies.
Last week sevral troop trains pass
ed through the city and the soldier
boys were served with delicious re
freshmefits and given literature to
remind them that Griffin is apprecia
tive of the soldiers going forth to
serve their country. The soldiers
greatly appreciate the favors shown
| them here and many letters of appre
ciation have been written to Mrs. Ho
mer Wilson and other ladies identi
fied with this splendid organization.
