SEVERE WINTER WEATHER REPORTED
FROM MANY PLACES COVERING VERY
LARGE TERRITORY-HEAVY SNOWS
This has ' been a rough week
apeaklng f weather. Sunday was
a of the most dtlif(htful days .that
we mmt ever r tperieneed. Monday
New in with a cool norther blowing
which gained strength and by night
nilte a cold spell was upon us.
Tuesday was a real raw day with
some sleet and thin snow eontinu-
Ing throujrh Wednesday and at this
writing Wednesday evening the
anow comes down gently at inter-
vals and quite a bit of moisture i
being deposited in the ground and
the weather man atone know what
the day to com ha in store for
this great country. What has al-
ready fallen will be beneficial while
f course it has not been heavy
enough up to this time to make a
season such aa will be needed to
put the farmers to work in earnest
it will all help and possibly before
twenty-four hours nave elapsed
there will be a heavy precipitation
one might jrueBS either way but
the indications would lead one to
believe that there is still more
moisture in store for us. Most
folks are staying in-door and busi-
ness of course has not been very
heavy this week so far but it is
Erobably the beginning of the break-
er up of the long dry spell and if
such be the case we can well afford
to experience a few slack days for
the benefits that the season will
bring us in the future.
