The temperature is ranging between 35 and 40 de grees below zero, which, combined with the blizzard, makes travel and traffic out of the question.

AFTER HE READS HIS ANNUAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS ON TUESDAY PRESIDENT WILSON WILL PROBABLY SPEAK ON HIGH LIVING COST.
HIGH LIVING COST
 IS PRESSING ISSUE
GOVERNMENT HAS AS YET MADE NO PLANS TO COMBAT PROB LEM OF HIGH COST OF LIVING, BUT EXPECTS TO PASS REME- DIAL LEGISLATION.
Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. . (Delayed) Announcement has been made to the effect that President Wilson will read his annual message to congress on Tuesday. And after he concludes the addres which will acc mpany the reading, it is probable that he will also address the joint session on the prevailing high cost of living in the United States at the present time. Prem the Pre- | dents known attitude on the ques- ton, it is believed that he will de nounCe the high cot of living in the strongest of terms in his address t. the congressman.
 It is understood here that the ad, mini tration has no plans whatever as to how to combat the high cos of living problem. But it is al, stated that the administration be- Heves that it is one O the most pressing issues which this country has to contend with at the presenl time. Action on the part of the government will probably be delayed: pending the rep-rt of the federal trade commission, which i. now making an investigation of the high cost of living.
 Government officials are consider ably exercised over the problem pre- sented by the question. Thousands of petitions have been received at the White House asking some re lief. Many of the petitions demand that the government declare an em bargo on the exportation of food stuffs to Europe. Others favor re medial internal legislation. It is un- derstood that President Wilson per sonally favors an extension of the present laws to meet the alleged conspiracy on the part of f~odstuf dealers to corner food and to keep the price of all foodstuffs and food products high.

HAVANA, Cuba, Dee. 2.-De- layeG Although q month has elapsed since the presidential election here, the result of the election is still in doubt, and it will probably be several months more before the election is de- cided The reason is the perpe- traitor of election frauds in two provinces which must hold other election to determine the result in the chtr- country,
 Elsewhere the vote for presi- dent eff Cuba was very cl se It is therefore expected that the result of the eleetions which are to be held in the two provinces will decide whether President Medocal is to continue in office or whether or not Dr. Alfredo Seayas is to succeed him.

Johnson & Hill Company Have Fine
Exhibition of Wood County
Vegetables.

Cabbage is scarce this year. This
is shown conclusively by the small
amount of cabbage exhibited in the
Big Farmers Week show at the John
son & Hill Co.'S store.
Celery is another good thing to eat
that is conspicuous by the small num-
Der of exhibits But right there the
tale of woe ends, for all other exhibits
are full up and the showing is even
better than it was year ago.
The big exposition opened yesterday
morning with an array of home grown
vegetables that makes one wonder at
all the talk about the high cost of
living and blghted potato crop.
The pumpkin exhibit is fine. One
big pie maker tipped the scales at II
pounds.
There are 100 entries in the potato
exhibit alone and the potatoes are
fine specimens. The display of corn is
also good.
Even some late strawberries are
shown.
The show is a good one and it will
repay any one to take the time to
visit the basement where this eXhibi-
tion is being held.
