Warmer Weather to Return

Although the last few days have been

rising. and. according 10 those that
profess to know something about the
matter, We are likely to have milder
weather for the next few weeks. Cam

the cold snap. as was the case at Dem

The cold wave was general through

al severity in some sections. Ii ex-

were not safe in disbanding and return

them.

they had finished their work the boys

the Indians. Jake was fine marks
