The weather is surprisingly warm
for Washington's birthday anniver-
sary. At this moment-2:45 p. M,
Feb. 22-the thermometer registers
the temperature as so above the ze-
70 point. The sun is shining bright
ly and stiff, warm wind is blowing
from the southeast. The snow is
melting rapidly and the water is
running down hill-when it has a
chance to run at all. The hills and
fields are bare of snow and snow
remains only where drifts were
deep. There was much ice about
from previous thawing and freezing
and this is disappearing under the
compelling influence of Old Sol. 1t
has been warm most of the time the
past week. This afternoon the
bitches are full of running water
and the rivers are rising.
