The First Cold Wave

The weather bureau gave sufficient
warning of the cold wave, and ever
foretold its severity but very few be-
lieved that the mercury would crawI
down quite so low as it did-l7 de-
grees, according to the register of the
governments thermometer, on We'd
nesday night. The drop was from 81,
the highest on Monday, to 20 Tuesday
night, and then went three degrees
better Wednesday night. The coolest
weather last winter was January 2lst,
when IS degrees was reached.
A number of water pipes in town
froze up and burst and the plumbers
will be busy for a day or two. Several
ladies' whose husbands would not be-
lieve that it would freeze, suffered the
loss of their flowers.

that the early and extreme cold snap
has killed many thousand of boil vice.
