Saturday WAS comparatively cold,
but the weather man evidently
thought We could stand it a little
colder and turned on the tap, letting
out a northwest wind that seemed to
the pedestrians Sunday to have come
direct from the artic regions. The
wind has been bowling since Satur-
day and gives one the impression, that
it is really cold. The government
thermometer registered % degrees
at sunset Sunday evening; so it was
not really as cold as it seemed.
Wausau Record-Herald Can any
state show finer fall weather than
Wisconsin? We do not think so 1t
is now only month and twenty days
till the end Of the year. Only forty
five days till Christmas. Time to
shop early and avoid the rush. Yet
we have had no snow to speak of,
little frost, and scarcely a day when
it wasn't delightful to be out of doors
And the grass is still green in the
pastures, cattle are fat and sleek, the
harvest is safely housed and the peo-
pie are happy.
