A Bit Of Cool History.

MANY readers will not soon forget
the hot dry summer Of 1901 and the
lack Of rain and the hot south winds
that have ruined the corn and injured
the wheat and oats. But not many
are living .oday who remem Der the
summer Of 1916 and how there were
snow and frost in every month and
vegetation Of all kinds was nearly 'all
frozen. The morning OF the 4th Of
July water was frozen over and in
August corn was killed outright and
cut for fodder What little corn did
escape was in very favored localities
and states. Corn brought unheard Of
prices and farmers were obliged to
provide themselves with corn grown
in 1915 for the seed used in the spring
OF 1917; this seed being difficult to
get at s. bushel The price OF all
bread stutfs went soaring and flour
sold in 1917 for Sl3 a barrel.

1t is not known whether the recent
show was a financial success as there
are IL number of bills which have not
been reported. 1t is believed that it
will be about an even break
One feature of the recent show that
has caused considerable feeling was
thoroughly discussed Thursday even
ing. 1t is claimed that the club lost
heavily on the kennel department,
The expenses IN this section were
-$125. The parties displaying dogs
paidin $13. The difference between that
sum and the one first named re-
presents the loss to the club. 1t is
claimed that local parties assured the
poultry club that they would assist
in raising funds for the payment of
expenses in that department. This
they have failed 10 do and it is be,
cause of this that there is so much
feeling. Another meeting will be held
before the matter is dropped. The
poultry club members say that they
have been left to hold the bag. They
do not relish the idea.
