Temperature Rarely Above
Freezing Point for Entire
Week—Little Damage Done.
Christmas week of 1924 will
go down as one of the coldest in
the history of the country.-Just
one week previous to Christmas
day a blizzard of unusual pro-
potions hit North and East Tex-
as and twenty four hours later
had enveloped all of the South
and Southwestern part of the
State. This immediate section
escaped the worst part of the
freeze, but at .that the mercury
went down to 26, and on Satur-
day night 22nd, a heavy sleet
covered the earth. Until the
next Sunday the thermometer
w&s hardly above the freezing
point. During the period con-
siderable rain fell, soaking the
ground well.
Owing to the fact that clouds
prevailed all the time the thaw
came without sunshine and ice
covered -vegetation escaped with
a minimum of damage. Tender j
vegetables were killed but very |
little damage was done to the |
plant farms or the spinach crop.

A NEW YEAR’S
RESOLUTION.
A good way to start the New
Year is to think about the
troubles of the other fellow.
And the other fellow may be
your merchant, your tailor,
your doctor, or your editor.
Here is a little fable that will
help you to understand what
the editor is up against oc-
casionally.
There was once a farmer who
raised 2,000 bushels of potatoes.
He sold the entire crop out at
retail on credit—one bushel
each to 2,000 customers. He
thought he had made a good
deal as he was to get $2,000 out
of the year’s work. I

There is one who is greeted with

He's the man who delivers the

One man is afraid he will labor

The world isn’t yearning for

And one man is always alert, on

Lest he put in a minute too

And one has a grouch or a tem-

And one is a creature of

So its “hey” for the joyous and

For the man who delivers the
