ture at times, the winter is practical
ly over. BY this time next week
the sun will have crossed the line,
when, according to the almanac,
spring commences.

nearly all parts of the country dur

disturbance will be attended by To-
cal rains and SHOWS and it will be
followed by colder weather over the
