WILL YEAR OF 1916
BE SUMMERLESS.

Some of our contemporaries
are specializing over the POSSIBLE
ity that the year 1916 will he
summarizes. The year 1916, the
year after the disastrous end of
the NapOleonic wars, had scarce
ly enough summer to be worth
mentioning and the theory seems
TO be that the terrific lombard
ments ON European battlefields
are bound to have a similar eff
feet upon weather conditions
next year.
June of 1916, We are told, was
a month of frost and lee. Now
England, Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA We're covered with snow.
June II there was a great snow
storm and flocks of sheep We're
overwhelmed and suffocated
The lee was an inch thick on the
Fourth Of July and August 10Th
witnessed a heavy fall of snow.
Not until September We're nor
NAL climate conditions restored.
The notion is that history will
repeat itself after the passage of
century and the alarming
thought in this connection is
that, if the amount of explosives
used in Napoleonic wars caused
all the arrangement of meteoro-
logical conditions, the amount
used in the present war is likely
TO keep the temperature at 10
below zero, at least, all next
summer. 1t surely is time for
universal disarmament. - Ohio

THREE ToAsTs.
Giant Strides In Fixing the Boundaries
 of Our CotIntrv

| 1iant strides In FIxing the Houndaries | of Our Country.
 At dinner party given by .Ameri cans residing in Paris some years age | there were proposed sundry toaSts con corning not so much the past and present as the expected glories of the great American nation. In the gen. eral character of these toaSts geo. graphical considerations were very prominent. and the principal fact which seemed to occupy the minds of the speakers was the unprecedented bigness of our country.
 Heres to the United States" said the first speaker, "bounded on the north by British America, on the south by the gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic and on the west by the Pacific ocean,"
 But" said the second speaker, this is far too limited view of the sub iect. In assigning our boundaries we must look to the great and glorious fu- ture, which is prescribed for us by the manifest destiny of the AnglO-SaxOn race. Here's to the United States. bounded on the north by the north pole, on the south by the south pole, on the east by the rising sun and on the west by the setting sum-"
 Here the third speaker arose, a very serious gent oman from the far west. "If we are going" said this truly pa triotic American, ''to leave the history past and present and take our mani fest destiny into account, why restrict ourselves within the narrow limits as- signed by our fellow countryman who has just sat down? give you the United States, bounded on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south by the procession of the equinoxes, on the east by primeval chaos and on the west by the day of judgment" t"-Phil- adelphia Press.

| Old friends will like to be reminded
 that John Merrick will reach his 9Ott

 l The death on Sunday morning of
 Samuel Bowles, editor and publisher
 of the Springfield Republican, is a
 loss to the world, and brings sorrow
 to many far outside of Springfield. County Road Supervisor F. W. Pratt was a guest at Hotel Bond,
 Hartford, Saturday at dinner given by Comm issioner and Mrs. Bennett of the staff employees of the state highway department.
 There were 86 present at E.ble school Sunday morning The Easter music is pleasing and the concert promises to be of unusual. interest. The topic of Pastor Darrow's sermon was "The contrasts of life," and the text the 1st Psalm. It was an uplift ing discourse, and set forth the l necessity and the privilege of con. fri hnf f0 ho 3o world.
 Many remember that the 18th was the anniversary of the great blizzard of 1888, and some recall that this worst snowfall and tempest ever known in this region was preceded by a succession of cloudless days with an icy chill in the air, not unlike the weather the present mouth is giving us, but we are not anticipating blizzard. but have no doubt that we shall have more snow, for all few people are planting their window gardens and hot beds in anticipation of an early spring.
 The officers installed at the grange were: Master, G. V. Smith; overseer, George Schofield; lecturer, Mrs. G. V. Smith; secretary, Floyd Ayers; treasurer, Miss Dante Palmer; chap lain, W. H.
