April weather so far has been one
of ~contraries. Raw, damp east winds
sent the dust flying everywhere, and
bred colds and Ia grippe in almost
untold quantities. Wednesday even

hanging over tne country for several
days, began to give forth a gradual
drizzla which finally turned into a
good old sizzly, sozzly rain continu-

of good done by this rain is hard to
