A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
Frost Prevailed During Every Month OF 1910 and There
Was Not a Green Thing to Be Seen Anywhere:

The year 1916, which followed the
close of NapOleon's career, is known
as the year without a summer.
Concerning that cold year the New
York Sun 20 years ago published an
interview with an aged man, James
Winchester, who was l years old
when his native state of Vermont was
devastated by snow storms in the
summer of 1916. The whole year Of
1916, with brief intervals of tepidity,
was cold and comfortless. On June
18th snow fell to a depth of ten
inches in Vermont, and in New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania it was
three inches deep.
That storm of June H., said
James Winchester, was one of the
severest l ever saw, even in the depth
of winter, in that locality of severe
SHOWS" A wind, bitter cold, came
out of the north and piled the snow
in deep drifts. An uncle of James
Winchester who sailed out in the
whirl of flakes to herd some sheep in
a distant pacture lost his way, and
three days afterward a searching

RAG PICKER'S TRADE
IS AN IMPORTANT ONE
OLD CLOTHES ARE NOW WORTH
500 TO $40 A TON. RAW MA
TERIAI is SHORT.

The rag picker who has been look
ed upon as engaging in that occupa-
ton from lack of more lucrative en-
ployment, and whose name was a
synonym for poverty, may yet aspire
to the "aristocracy of the new rich"
if the present high price of rags and
paper continues.
For be it known that the rag pick

self lucky to get SIS to $40 for ton
of thrOwn-off clothing, socks past all
darning or theadbare and holey
tablecloths now scorns $50 ton for
the better materials and insists on
not less than $40.
All of which proves the value of
saving everything that is of any val
ue whatever The figures given above
are based on cold fact, and the prices
of rags have resu ted from the cur
| tailment of the importation from Eu-
rope of raw material for dry felt for
many purposes and for the manufact-
ure of paper. The sources of supply
| in this country have been found to
| be Inadequate. Within sixty days,
according to large manufacturers of
dry felt and paper, prices of raw
materials have advanced from 20 to
80 per cent, and the end is not yet
in sight. Had every housekeeper in
the country saved old rags and paper
instead of burning these things as
refuse during the past years raw
material would have been plentiful in
spite of the war in Europe, it is as
serted.
This lack of raw materials for the
manufacture of felt and paper prod
ucts has elected from the United
States department of commerce an
appeal to the citizens of this country
to save rags and paper so that the
sources of supply would be con-
! served.

where. The war has paralyzed this
industry in Germany, Belgium and
France. The foot and mouth disease
gave it frightful setback in the
Central West. Many of the Central
West farmers, badly hurt by the foot
and mouth disease, will sell grain
this year that otherwise they would
have fed to hogs and cattle.
1t is our golden opportunity. What
advantage will we take of 1t? The
prediction is freely made that Loss
will continue to be high Ger She rext
two years.
We can produce pork fast and we
can produce it cheap. With our long
pasture season and our mild winters
we can produce pork at a minimum
of trouble and risk. We don't have
to watch the little pigs to keep them
from freezing as the swine growers
do in the Central West. If we pro-
vide fairly good pasture, have plenty
of pure water, raise cur own grain
and give good hogs reasonably good
care and attention our profits will
be large and sure.
Now of all time is the time to
raise hogs.

year Describing the terrible season
Mr.. Winchester said:
THE wind during June, July and
August. 1916, was continuously from
the north. and it blew fercely and
cod. Farmers wore heavy overcoats
and mittens while about their work
every day during these months, and
there was but little use of planting

but they did plant corn as usual, and
planted with mittens on. July was

BANKER D. v. JAMES
JAILED FOR CONTEMPT
WEALTHY CITIZEN OF BLAKELY
REFUSES TO PRODUCE NOTES
DEMANDED BY COURT.

BLAKELY, CAD. w. James,
prominent in business circles and
formerly one of the wealthiest citi-
zens of this section was last night
sent to the Early county jail under a
contempt charge.
The transaction under which Mr.
James has been sent to Jail grew out
of the failure of the Bank of Blake
ly nearly a year ago, Mr.. James be-
ing president of the bank.
At that time Mr.. James disposed
of large saw mill property at Hell
en-. Fla, receiving in the deal notes
amounting to more than 100000. In
the case of the receiver of the Bank
of Blakely against the Blakely Oil
and Fertilizer Co., of which James
was also president, he claimed that
these Helen Lumber Co. notes were
the property of the Bank of Blakely.
The receiver then asked the court
for possession of these notes. Ihe
court passed an order allowing Mr..
James to negotiate for the sale OF the
notes in order to pay off the depOs-
ftOrs of the Bank of BlakelJ. The
result of his negotiations were to be
reDorted to the court for approval
by the Judge Then Mr.. James was
to enter into a bond for 100000 and
he could sell the notes and pay Off
the banks creditors. -.
On examination in the Blakely Oil
and Fertilizer Co. case Tuesday MI.
James still claimed that the notes
belonged to the Bank of Blakely, yet
stated that he had disposed of a por-
tion of the notes and had only about
$35, 900 of them.
A rule was then brought against
Mr.. James to show cause why SAID
notes should not he turned over to
the receiver of the Bank of Blakely,
and on the hearing Mr.. James stated
that he could produce only S26,OOO
of the notes. and failed to account
for the balance.
The court after waiting for some
time then ordered him to turn over
the notes on hand and account for
the balance, and in default to be
committed to jail for contempt The
matter of the notes has been pending
for several months, and it is claimed
that the court has shown considera-
bile indulgence to Mr.. James and has
given him every opportunity to re-
spond to its orders.
The action of the court in sending
Mr.. James to jail has created wide
SDread interest
