When birds OF passage arrive early in their
southern passage severe weather may be
looked for soon. Blackbrds hocking to-
gether In the fall indicate spell of cold
weather. If crows fly south cold weather
VIII follow; II north warm spell may be
expected.
il birds in autumn grow tame
The weather will be to cold for game,
Turkeys perched on trees and refusing to
descend indicate snow to the initiated. When
wild ducks fly to the south it is sign that
winter is coming. When the wood-pecker
disappears in the fall look out for a cold
winter. When the Ivory billed wood-pecker
goes to work at the bottom of tree and
goes to the top, removing all the outer
bark on his way, it is an indication that there
will be deep snow. When wrens are seen in
winter expect snow and plenty of il. A fog
in February indicates frost in May.
An old saying is: "He t at would have a
bad day must go ont in fog after frost, -
and another is: "a winters fog will freeze
a dog" Bearded frost is forerunner of
snow. Frost that occurs in the dark of the
moon kills fruit buds and blossoms, but frost
in the light of the moon will not kill. Early
trosts are usually followed by long and
hard winter. The first frost of the season,
Lhe farmers say, occurs six weeks after the
trst song of the first kaydid
Heavy white frost is sgu that warmer
weather is coming. Black frost is the fore.
runner of spell of dry, cold weather.
Bearded frost indicates cold winter with
much snow. Hoar frost is sign of rain.
Rural observers say that there will be as
many frosts in JuLe as there are tcgs in
February. Three white frosts, they say, will
Drlng storm every time.

The confirmation services at the
English Lutheran church in Florida
were largely attended, the house be-
ing crowded to its utmost capacity.
Eighteen were received into the com
munion of the church by the solemn
rite of confirmation, four of whom
were heads of families, and one from
another Lutheran congregation
making nineteen in all. As this was
the first English service of the kind
ever held in Florida a deep interest
was felt and all hearts were made
glad.
ID. E. Dozer, of Defiance, had
charge of the music, with Miss Linda
Dozer at the organ, and was assisted
by Mrs. Dozer, Mrs. Feindel, the pas
tors daughters, Maggie and Laura,
and Mrs. John Long, of Florida.
A number of others were in attend
ance from Defiance and South Ridge
Altogether it was a day of joy and
gladness long to be remembered by
all and source of great encourage
ment to the pastor and the congrega

Are Wedding Trips a Failure?

"Should wedding trips be abol-
ished?'' is the latest query agitating
readers of London newspaper, and
it seems almost as unanswerable as
SIS marriage failure?" A man with
five sisters-in-law, however, standsup
for the good old custom and says he
likes having his back showered with
rice and an eye shut up with an old
slipper, and if he should be married a
dozen times-the Turk.-he'd have a
wedding journey-every time. All
the brides in the kingdom, too, are
replying in the little dove-like COOS to
the editors cynical question, there
fore it is presumed the wedding trip
will not be abolished while bride
grooms have money to go honey
incoming with and the brides believe
in rushing into print on the tender
subject.

A few years ago when the fattening

The South scarcely begins to get one

possibilities of some other are seen,
and it becomes difficult to follow the
rapid progress that is being made in
the liberalization of its industrial life.
