Climate Channlnn7

Clearwater, Neb., Feb. 11.-Special
to The News: Where are those peo-
pie that have been asking of late years
why our climate has changed-why
we never have any more such storms
as we had those good old days?"
1t was only recently that an article
appeared in The News asking for rea-
sons why we do not have such blind
ing, driving, drifting SHOWS as the
early settlers delight to tell about.
Such questions were surely an
swered with vengeance last Tues
day even If person didn't believe the
blow of two weeks ago was the real
thing.
OF course these storms cannot COM
pare with the holy terrors" lasting
three days and three nights when
you couldn't see your hand before
you" or for that matter after you
either-those rip-roaring stem-winders
of earlier days that we of later gen
Grafton can have no conception of,
Still day like last Tuesday should
furnish food for thought to the people
who wanted TO know why we never
have such storms as we had in those
happy days gone by.
