THE WEATHER FOR, YEAR 1922
Predictions of'. Mr. J. B. Bowes, of
Chatsworth Have Frequently
Been Correct
During the, past few. ,years., Mr.• James
B. Bowes of Chatsworth,; has ben mak-
ing weather predictions for the year ahead
and has been,: remarkably close to the
actuai,;weather,.. In December 1919, • he
predieted,the mild Jantiary;of1921• and, a
year. ago _predicted':the mild., December'
that we have had` this year. In speaking
to the Sun -Times, Mr: Bowes said: My
forecasts for 1920, when I predicted the
very cold winter and, the mild January 'Of
1921, are so correct that they should de
mend for mega" hearing.; In forecasting
the past two dry sUmmers I have had this
'borne out by the, famine,inRussia and in
China,, due to drought, and also the con-
ditions in Canada especially in the west-
ern provinces, This andicates to me .that
my theories are substantially correct,;. even
with the handicap; of a lack cf about; -0%
of all the factors that must be taken into
account -in my theory, . coupled, with the
lack of;practice in diagnosing the prob-
able conditions. Based'on purely ;`scien-
tific principles as I know them. They
are for the Northern, hemisphere and
mostly applicable to regions about the
45th degree of latitude. ` They do not
apply to districts whose' temperature is
varied or ruled by air or water currents
Iike Britain or British Columbia "I
have just ab ut eighty Per, +of. scien-
tific principles on which MY theory is
based yet I fully expect to be seventy
percent correct. I am asked, 'Why; not,
get all the facts you want?'-. I haven't
the price..,
The following' are Mr. Bowes' predic-
tions for 1922,
January -Very mild until the last week,
when it will turn 'decidedly, stormy and
cold.
February- First fifteen days cold with
very strong winds, especially about the.

The'Other Fellow's Sins
Though not in sooth a guide to youth,
I do, by contrast, shine, since other jays
have tricks and 'ways a blame sight worse
than mine. If Bill Smith's pipe : is rank
end ripe and stinks when: it's' on fire,
while my cigar is milder'far, Bill ought to
chuck his briar. I boost no sales of coffin
nails or loose "' or ready rolled, so want
the state to legislate that: they shall not
be sold.. If eigarettes were my best bets,
1 a advocate some la wa to i a r•. the gt?vs
who exercise with'quids' between their
jaws I'm wrong at that, my head is
fat; I: ought to have more' sense, and my
own_faults should give nie jolts not those
of other gents. At his own sins a fellow
grins bpt frowns on those of others: If
he were wise 'he'd sympathise, and help
lois erring brothers. ' Though Peter Reese
steale only geese, that, man he' should not
scorn who finds a use for all that's loose
in feather, hair or horn. If every gink
would ,stop and think, ere he bawled out
his neighbor, he'd save, .I wot, his strength
a lot to use in gainful' labor.. •

MANHOOD OR MONKEYHOOD?
To the Editor of The Advances
Dear Sir;—'
Have you noticed of late that a number
of letters have been "sent to '-Thea Mail"
re. C. Darwin and his monkey theory.
Darwin calls himself a biologist; if he is
such, why does lie'not give the =origin of
the mopkey as well as that'of a man?- Do
we not'reed that God' created roan after
His own irnage, and in His own image
created he Him? Darwin's' theory wou d
imply that God Firstcreated the monkey,
and then by segregation man sprung from
monkey to 'man;'with alI reverence, we
%are positively i:ure that the monkey- was
not created after God's own image. -Dar-
win himself declares that the future, state
is made up of conflicting, vague probabil-
ities:and 'that the whole subject is beyond
the scope of man's intellect, if so, surely,
his monkey theory its also beyond the
scope of man's intellect
For my part sir, I fully believe that
God first created man, why? • because • he
has told us so; after -which he created the
beasts of the field, and the fowls of the
air, and man was to hold dominion over
them all. If, according to Darwin's
theory, man's future state is full of vague
probabi ities. his pet lnonkeer theory is
still more vague and. far .reached, • Yes
and a slur upon the Great Creators of all
mankind as though God--could-not make
man before • first making a monkey, and if,
as he states, the future• is. a subject, far
beyond the scope of man's intellect then
surely the segregation of monkey and
man, has no more foundation than the
house built upon the sands.
Were I a biologist; then I would most
certainly trace back the origin of that
wonderful monkey from whence sprung
Darwin.

Many Weeklies Amalgamate
A long list of weekly papers in Ontario,
have- gone out of business in the past few
years. The publishers orthe -'newspapers
that survived were -forced to- learn, during
the'peribd'of'high-prices, that sound bus-
iness methods are necessary : in the pub-
lishing trade In speaking of the chang-
ed attitude of the rural press toward party
politics, the Marmora Herald, after men-
tioning the many amalgarmations which
have resulted inthere beirsg one independ-
ent weekly in towns where rival party
organs used to be forever attacking each
-
other, says: "Another reason for the
change in' the attitude of the press is
hirgel ' a' result of the same conditions
thatproduced the progressive movement
and the general weakening of theold
party ties. That doesn't mean that any
large' number of papers are adopting -.the
progressive platform•, but rather that they
have "concluded that rtf lining a newspaper
is a business the same as any other indus-
try, and that ,i9 a poor wayto conduct a
business to let it becorne'the tool' of any
party or organization.

Dollar Back At Par
Our Canadian dollar is back to par.
In Detroitretail merchants whoa year
ago insisted on a 30 :or 40 per cent dis-
count are now advertising that they will
accept it at, par, But, will they get it?•
They shouidn''t. People have learned
that they can get as gond or better goods
made inCanada, and they will soon be
able to buyas cheaply here as there. It
is easier to lose customers than to get
them back.
