a Year Without a summ.r

The year 1916 was known through
out the United States as the year
without a summer. January of that
year was so mild that most people
would have let their furnaces go out
had they possessed any, and Febru-
AIRY was only occasionally colder.
March and April coaxed the buds and
flowers out. and May was winter
month, with ice and snow. BY the
end of May everything perishable
had been killed by the cold, and the
young leaves had been stripped from
the trees. June was as cold as May.
Both snow and ice were comon
throughout the month all over the
corn belt, and after having planted
corn two or three times the farmers
threw tip their hands. Snow fell 10
inches deep in Vermont. The follow.
ing winter was the hardest the PEG.
pie of the United States have ever
known. One had to have stockade
around ones smokehouse.-S Louis

SELECTING GERMAN FLAG
How Prussia Placed Its colors on the
Imperial Standard


When the present German empire
was established by uniting the sever
al German states into one realm, the
question arose as to what flag the
new empire should fly. AS it happen
ed, each state wanted its own special
standard adopted. and no two of them
were alike, though as general thing
each was composed of two colors
thus Prussia had black and white,
Bavaria blue and white, Saxony green
and white and every other state, no
matter how small, possessed a flag.
When the German empire became
an established fact, naturally it was
necessary to adopt a banner that
would be distinctive, include all the
states, as every government insisted
on being represented. A council was
appointed to take charge of the whole
matter, and the difficulty encounter
ed in coming to decision will be
better appreciated when it is remem-
bered that there were at least 80
combinations to be made, if all were
satisfied with the arrangement.
The larger states, the kingdoms.
proposed that their flags should be
united and thus form the national
flag, but the delegates from the small
objected SO strongly

Shortage OF food and fuel in large

Meat has gone up; eggs cost twice

has gone up considerably; vegetables
are also beyond poor mans reach.
Even the middle class have hard
time to make both ends meet.
1.-THE laboring class is still worse

people thought that Russia had the
best chances of winning her cam
paigu because of her plentiful food
supply We figured on q possible
shortage Of foreign products such as
coffee, drugs. machinery ard fancy
goods. No one. however, thought
that there could be such ashortase in
big. rich Russia OF simple domestic
victuals ordinarily exported"
The Russkoye Sleyo says:
THE only food left in the province
of Rejaesan is potatoes. In many
communities the supply OF food will
not last longer than the end of May.
A big -four mill in Kursk had TO shut
down owing to lack of grain and coal
supply.
There is no more sugar and no
lard in VlaAikaflas. The. coal fam
inc in Petrograd is becoming more
acute every day Whereas the
daily quantity of coal required is
$4,000 puds, the supply is very small
indeed. The city administration fears
for the continuation of the water sup
ply, as the coal on hand win be ex-
hausted on May 2s.'

scented ON jack or corner OF the flag,

While the movement of troops is
carefully screened in the reports
from the front it is probable that the
Italians on the Austrian frontier are
getting into position to strike de-
cisive blow, but that the clashes so
far have been of comparatively little
Importance. Italy for many months
has been preparing for war and is
probably ready to strike Austria with
powerful army of well drilled and
well equipped soldiers. 1t does not
appear possible that Austria and Ger
many can have trained men to avert
the onslaught and 1t would not be
strange if the decisive struggle of the
war should be fought IN the Trentino
or near Trieste.

EXTENSION WORK
PRESIDENT PERISHO TO SPEAK
IN MADISON NEXT SAT-
URDAY.

Agricultural extension work i'm
South Dakota under the provisions of
the national Smith-Lever act appro-
priating money for that purpose and
a liberal state appropriation made by
the last state Legislature, will be the
subject of an address to be given i'm
Madison on Saturday afternoon of
this week by E. c. Perisho, president
of the State college and acting di-
rector of the agricultural extension
work in this state.
1t is planned TO hold the meeting
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock,

meeting on the street.
Farmers and business men are ex-
pected to be present and participate
in the movement to organize Lake
county so that it may come in for a
share of the benefits of the appro-
priation. A county organization is
essential with a local director and
the plan includes the holding of a
number of institutes and short
courses in the county during the
year.
Mr.. Perisho will arrive in Madison
Saturday morning and spend the day
here.
