What some other cities are doing

Prosperity abounded in Waterloo in

NO ZERO THIS WINTER
Winter Began It's Very Fierce Freez-
Ing Spell on the Last Day Of De-
cember Lasting Many
Days.

The weather prophets are all at
sea this winter and the sea frozen
over. They can make no program
whatever. For instance everybody
this morning was again predicting
squall and after q while the sun shone
out in all its brilliant promise and
the prophets took another look at
their goose bone or took stroll in
the back yard to test the condition
Of their "rhumatiz."
This has been remarkable winter
SO far, but there is no telling what
day, or a week, or month may
bring forth.
Las. winter was different. It COM
menced early and continued late. No
ven1ber Of 1911 was nearly 10 degrees
colder every day than the November
of 1912, just past.
So far this year the thermometer
has not reached zero. The nearest 1t
has come to falling to the zero mark
was degrees above and that was
on December u, and that is the only
day this winter that it has reached
SO cold a point.
There is one year since the govern
ment weather Office was established
here that the mercury failed to fall
below zero. That was the year 1905
when the thermometer fell to zero on
February S, and that was the only
day of the entire year when the ther-
mometer got that low.
The November of 1911 was about
as cold as December 1912.
In 1911, while fires were commenc-
ed earlier and continued more stead
lily than during the fall just past, vet
the severe weather did not commence
until the last day of December and
LIT was in frozen earnest when it did
begin.
For the sake of comparison the~
is given the temperature for a part
Of December for the two years:
