Generally Fair Today and Monday
Colder Monday.

For the District of Columbia. Maryland
and Virginia, generally fair today and
Monday: colder Monday: moderate vari-
able winds.
The great storm of Friday has passed
beyond the Canadian maritime provinces,

over northern Arizona. To the northwari
pressure is rising rapidly, marking the
advance of the first pronounced high
pressure area of the present winter from
Alaska bringing with it decided fall in
the thermometer to readings below zero
over the northwest, and much lower
tempe-atures from the lower Missouri
valley to the Pacific ocean. In the south
Atlantic and gulf states it is much warm
er. Notwithstanding the great pressure
contrast. there was no precipitation of
consequence, except some snow in the
upper Ohio valley.
The high pressure area over the north
west will practically control conditions
over the country for several days. and
the colder weather will spread to the
eastward and southwark covering the
central and southwest portions of the
country during Sunday and extending
eastward during Monday. Snow will con-
tinue Sunday in the central Rocky noun
tain region, but no other precipitation Of

hundreds of boxes are shipped from

profusely and are very profitable.
Cattle Raising.
Thousands of cattle, sheep and hogs
roam at will grazing on the native
grasses, and receiving no attention ex-
cept in the shearing and marking sea-
son. The greater number of these ma
tive animals have been allowed to in
breed for many years, and the in
it would be if more care was taken Of
them in the way of introduction of
pure bred sires, winter feeding and
herding. This county ranks second in
the state in wool production, and the
wool is clean, free from burs, and
brings a good price.
Climate Superb.
The average northern person has an
idea that Florida is a hot and I'M
inviting section and yet it is beyond
controversy that the summers In this
section of the state are not nearly so
oppressive as are those on the upper
shores of Lake Michigan, or In the
extreme northwest. Along this gulf

breeze blowing; at all times of the day
this breeze tempers the heat of the

strokes are practically unknown in

THE MILLERVILLE SCHOOL
By Miss oOsia MIN sr, Baker, Fla.

About twenty-five years ago, four
miles north of Mnhgan. a log house
was erected. in which the children
OF that time and community were
to be instructed.
This house was small and rudely
made Of split logs. 1t was equipped
with few log straight board benches,
which seated the fifteen or twenty
pupils. One long desk, made of Stat
laewn from a piece Of timber. on
which the children took turns at writ
ing, was fastened to the side OF the
wall.
There was also a email table for
teachers bell, etc, and in one end Of
the house was tackled up a wide.
planned and painted juniper board,
that served as a blackboard.
This school took the name, 'Pn-
grim Rest" from a nearby church
of that name.
The few children attending this
school, walked two or three miles each
day. that they might acquire lnow4-
edge.
AS Father Time passed on. 'old age"
took our beloved little school house.
So the church was used until another
house could be built.
Awakened interest.
It was about this time (ten years
ago. that people began to realize what
an extremely fine agricultural region
there was round about this little
school. Seven years ago the increase
