DEVOE, the Hackensack weather
prophet, predicted that spring would
commence in January this year, and
so planted his potatoes last fall to be
ready for its early coming. He was
not far from right. But for excessive
rains there has been but little weather
since the Middle of January that pOta-
toes could not be planted.
REV. Mr.. WILSON took up his mis-
siOnary collection last Sunday at the
close of the sermon preparing the way
for il. The amount raised Sunday and
since to date amounts to 1918. He
will secure during the week subscrip-
tions to bring it up to the amount con-
tributed by the congregation last year,
which was 1902. The Sunday
School is expected to raise about as
much more. --
THIS latitude has been in a stew
since Sunday morning, from the al
most summer heat, the heavy rains of
Monday and yesterday rather intensi-
flying than cooling it. On Monday the
mercury got up into the sixties, and
yesterday did not stop short of TO-, the
people having to throw open the
doors during the day and the blankets
off at night for comfort. Cooler weather
is promised, but 1t seems slow in COM
ing.
