W. f. Foster says the next period of
weather disturbances will inaugurate
the great rain storm which will occur
about every So days, crossing a period
of about two week, April l to IA. The
storm wave that will start this rain
period will be due to leave the Pacific
coast about March 80, cross the great
valley from March 81 to April 2 and
reach the Atlantic coast about the Sd.
The storms Of April will all be severe
both from minor causes and the effect
of the powerful electric currents from
the equators of Saturn and Jupiter
which will begin to have a light effect
on u earth. Mercury will pass the
suns equator on April 2 and the infu-
ence of Venus which will have crossed
the suns equator on the 2Sth of March
will extend to this first April storm
and it will be of more than average
force. 1t will effect most parts of the
United States causing a great variety
of weather but the low barometer with
its ACCOMPANYING gales is expected to
cross the continent through the western
part Of the United States.

Their Second Annual Ball and
Banquet is Up to the Full
Measure Of Success.

There is nothing lacking in the
splendid success which characterized
the second annual ball and banquet
given by Division l, Ancient Order of
Hibernians, Monday evening. There
was a large and brilliant gathering. The
spirit of the occasion permcated all
and joyousness reigned supreme. The
music vas of exceptional excellence
and inspired all to their best efforts in
marching the graceful, stately minuet
or gliding through the may waltz.
Reizenstein and his assistants were
chock-fuIl of the divine afdatus-and
everybody danced.
The gastronomic feature was likewise
Of marvellous attractlveness. There
was such a spread of dainties in taste
full array hat there was no such thing
as resisting the tempting viands set be-
fore the guests by Mr.. Jordan of the
B. & M. Dining Hall.
The opera house was very attractive
ly decorated with appropriate emblems
of the order, mottos, etc.
Taking into consideration the wealth
er and the times, the order may con-
graduate themselves upon the success
full outcome of their second annual.

1t mean the irrigation at The outstart
of 10000 or $4,000 acres of land con.

more can be covered by extending the
ditch. This matter should receive ev-

We Save You
20 Per Cent.
A STAW.

AS spring approaches the indications
are that the amount of small grain
planted this season will perhaps be the
largest ever sown in Red Willow u
ty. We have no general figures, but
the following straws are suggestive.
The gentlemen will put in the acreage
set opposite the names:
Hatfield & Son, 700 acres of alfalfa, etc.
Samuel Ellis, 125 acres of wheat.
John Calkins, 200 acres of wheat.
John Randel, 100 acres of wheat and oats.
Hiram Bixler. 100 acres of wheat.
Mat & Aug. Droll, 400 acres of small grain.
s. P, Hart, 400 acres of wheat, cane, etc.
C.. j. Ryan, 125 acres of wheat.
James Wright, $50 acres of snail grain, etc.
James Cain, 100 acres of wheat.
Sidney Dodge, $50 acres of wheat.
John Morris, 100 acres of wheat.
Daniel Jones, 100 acres of wheat.
j. P. Squire, 100 acres of wheat.
d. L. Griggs, 100 acres of wheat.
Geo. E. Johnston, 200 acres of corn, etc.
Tobias Brown, 200 acres of corn, etc.
r. s. Hileman, 140 acres of corn, etc.
The tendency seems to be toward
small grain. And this suggests to US
again the Importance of greater diversi-
ty Of crops. Broom corn, fax and
other crops should be planted in addi-
ton to small grain and corn, cane, al
falfa, etc.
