Cold Spring and Late
Summer Coming

If the predictions of E. Sim
mons of Weld county, known as
the weather prophet of the plains,
are correct, we'll have wet spring,
late summer, cool nights, and lets
of cold, heavy rains, accompanied
by much thunder and lightning.
Simmons is the man who, last
fall predicted the recent cold wea-
ther when an open, mild winter
was being predicted by most of the
prophets. He says 1916 is ruled
by the planet Saturn and that we
can expect nothing but the kind OF
weather he has outlined. He ad-
vises farmers to take out hail in
surance and all the dry landers to
plant all the land they can break
as it will be fine year for crops.

twenty three out of the forty eight
states which are under state prohi-

ing half of the states. Of these
twenty-three prohibition states
more than two-thirds of them are
Democratic and the question will
have to be reckoned with its next
Democratic Convention. The great
economical and commercial ques-

moral question. 1t will play havoc

cations. 1t can't be shelved by

Wyoming and Utah went "dry" and
