Two snow storms in November in Kansas is
unprece dented. We wonder what we are
coming to. The speculation that Kansas has
been undergoing a climatic change during the
past few years must be correct. We have

and freezes every night and day, sure precur-
sors of a wet spring and a fruitful summer.
But it is showing every place. The snow in
this section was about three inches, in central
Kansas about nine or ten, in Illinois twelve TO
eighteen, western Iowa and Nebraska two
feet. AT this writing "Wednesday the wealth
