The last day of January the maxi
mum temperature was 20 degrees.
Still no precipitation, and an unusual
absence of high winds. The weather
conditions will surely change.
We hear no murmerings against
this mild winter weather, excepting
few ice men. Our older inhabitants
come forward with the remark that
the winters of 1879 and 1880 were
similar. 1t was chiefly noted for its
extreme mildness until March 18th,
when we had a severe snow storm.
lasting several days. After this the
weather grew gradually warmer and
about the first of May we had harvest
heat, or hot winds. This was the
most pronounced drouth we have ever
witnessed. Our common or periodical
drouth, comes in cycles of 10 years.
The seed time came late this year,
and the seeds planted remained in
the ground the same as the day they
were planted. There was no sign of
vegetation. Nearly all the country
was burnt off. and during the heated
term of the year one could see large
whirl winds in almost any direction.
1t certainly did not look at that time
to be a fit habitation for man or beast.
We had AWKWARD feeling to give our
share back to the poor Indian. On
the 10Th of May there was a very
heavy down-pour of rain, after which
we had timely rains the balance of
| the season, and very good sod crops.

Voda.

The ground hog saw his shadow and
now winter has come in earnest
Philip Krhut and j. Malinovsky
went fishing Monday and Tuesday
and caught over 100 fish.
Every body was plowing and getting
ready to sow oats, but the pesky
ground hog spoiled it all.
The people of Voda gave Charley
Kristoff a surprise last Friday night,
when he reached his majority. Two
talking machines were used in enter
tanning. Supper was served at mid
night. Everybody had good time.
Adolph, Fred and Otto Schwanbeck
and their wives and Ralph Kristoff
and his best girl attended the dance
at Collyer given by Henry Powers and
lady. The dance served in place of
the charivari. Everybody reported a
fine time.

Obituary.

Eli McCollum was born at Duquoin,
H., January II. 1872, and died at To-
pel>a, Kas., February 4, 1906, aged n
little over 81 years. He married Mary
e. Evans at Duquoin February 9, 1862
and to this union five children were
born, three of whom are left to COM
fort their bereayed mother. These
are Amos E. of Topeka. David B. of
Lincoln and Mrs. Clara d. Smith of
this place.
Mr.. McCollum and family were
pioneers in Trego county, coming here
in 1878 and settling on homestead
near Ogallah where he lived until a
few years ago. He still retained his
love for the community in which the
best years of his life were spent, and
where he was well and wildly known
as a useful and honored citizen, and it
was in accordance with his expressed
wish that his remains were brought
here for interment. He was for more
than fifty years member of the Bap-
tist church: was one of the original
members of the society here and one
Of its first deacons, taking an active
part in securing a house of worship.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. [. Fl. Clemons. assisted by Rev.
G. W. c. Ericsson, were held at the
Baptist church Tuesday afternoon.
The sermon by Rev. Clemmons was an
instructive discourse intended for the
living, rather than eulogy of the dead,
the speaker remarking that the life
of the deceased was a better and
higher eulogy than spoken words.
The esteem in which the deceased
was held was attested by the large
gathering of friends and neighbors,
/ many coming from Ogallah. -

A stat1stician has estimated that if
one good grain were added to each ear
of corn grown in one Of the states of
the corn belt, it would add 5000, 900 to
the yearly product of the state. If,
instead of one grain, dozen were
added or if a whole ear were added to
each bill. the grain would be cores
pondingly greater, running into the
millions in the latter case Not only
in corn. but in all the products of the
farm, including live stock, improve
ment is the watchword of the times
A single county like Trego would be
largely enriched by adopting the best
methods in any agricultural or live
stock line of work, as many of our
farmers are already doing. A good
agricultural paper like the Farmer
and StOckman, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
setting forth each week the best
methods Of increasing the size and
value of the farmers output, is boon
to any community. The WORLD has
completed clubbing arrangements
with this excellent farm journal and
will be glad to forward your subscrip-
tion for it.
