Editor Herald
Please take notice and publish
what the farmers want and
need.
We need herd law. Wake
up, citizens. Get your minds at
work as well as your hands.
We need officers from repre-
sentatives down to justice of the
peace to make laws in favor Of
the farmer, who cultivates the
soil and faces the bleak winds OF
the cold mountains; who raises
bread and beans. while he wears
his thread-bare jeans; who pays
the taxes for the men that set
around and scheme.
If you want to know how the
cattle men have paid taxes, go
look up the records, and see the
scheming tax list.
Wake up, voters of Baca coun-
ty. Have the commissioners
any right to rebuild those burn
ed court houses over the voters,
whether or no?
Remember we WANT officers
who will work in behalf of the
people. We want herd law,
open section lines for the bene-
fit of the mail service and our
Eome benefit-for schools,
churches and society.

Hurrah for the poem
OF John William Steele
That's the way old Baca
Makes us all feel.
Sure the JOY of
These beautiful days,
Makes us to sing
Dear old Baca's praise.
The lark-buntings are coming,
And mockipg birds, too,
And everything reminds us
We have spring work TO do.
Well first make our garden,
AID then plant our grain,
When broomcorn's done
growing
Will pull it again.
Sue we'll have much here
To be thankful for,
With the climate and country
Both way above par;
And I'll tell you now
1t 0ocS seem to me,
That cid Baca county

COLD SUMMER
 OF YEAR 1916
Danbury Woman's Recollec7 tion of a Remarkable
 Season.

The very unusual ear1ysspr1ngt or the nresent year has brought to notice again the story of the remarkable surine and summer that this section of the country experienced in 1916 and the following article, which was pub lished in the Danbury News several years ago, again has a touch of time ly interest:
 Mrs. Andrew Hull sends toitF1e News al story of the famous cold summer of E1s16 which, in view of the unprece- dentedly mild winter just ending, is of especial interest at this time. Mrs. Hull recalls that her mother told her how her grandfather plowed in July of 1S16 with oyercoat and I1ittens on.
 The year 1916 was known through out the United States and Europe as the co1dest ever experienced by any person then living. There are per- sons in northern New York who have been in the habit of keeping diaries for years and it is from the pages of an old diary begun in 181o and kept until 1840, that the following information regarding this year with out a summer has been taken.
 January was so mild that most per- sons allowed their fires to go out and did not burn wood except for cooking. There were few cool days but they were very few. Most of the time the air was warm and springlike. Febru- ary was not cold. Some days were colder than any in January, but the weather was about the same March, from the 1st to the 9th, was inclined to be windy. It came in like a small lion and went out like very fnno- cent sheep.
 April came in warm, but as the days grew longer, the air became colder, and by the first of May there was a temperature like that of winter, with
