has passed, and while its wealth.
er was generally rigorous enough
to suit the most exacting, the
last few days of it were mild and
augured a pleasant and agreea.
BILE temperature. AS the saying
goes, it went out Ike a lamb if
It's previous conduct was lion
like. But what shall we say a.
bout the incoming month? The
tables turned, and the weather
conditions have been rigorous e.
nough to meet the requirements
of the frigid zone. His hogship
and his cabinet got together and
mapped a weather schedule for
another six weeks of wintry
weather, but may we not hope
that the winds of it will be tenn
pered to the shorn lamb? Sure
we may, but in these tempestu-
Gus days we seem at sea to know
when the winter and the war will
end. 1t seems that both are hav-
ing high carnival in their dis
plays of power. and probably |
may add, eccentricities? Yes
terday we experienced an 1nus,
ual display of blizzardy weather,
with the mercury occupying the
zone below zero and for a couple
of days prior, and since. The
fury of a gale and snowstorm
operated throughout the day, and
about all the people were shut
ins for the time. Very few peo-
pie ventured out to brave the
storm, only as they were forced
by sheer necessity. Ifthese con-
ditions are on1ens of what is to
follow, it will put. many of us on
our nnettle to provide fuel with
.which'to keep comfortable dur
ing the time preceding the warm
spring-time. This is not written
in a pessimistic mood, but to stir
up our remembrance to provide
for emergencies such as we have
lately experienced.
But how about the end Of the
war? 1t looks somewhat as if
desperation has driven Kaiser
William to play his last trump.
But will it win? We will wait
and see. It seems as if it might
bring his cause more trouble than
glory, and involves more world
trouble than the war SO far was
able to accomplish. It may be a
make or break stroke, but the
end is not in sight, and when it
does come it may find the Kaiser
floating down the stream of Time
in an Indian canoe where waters
may not be deep enough to ope-
rate a U-boat. We hope the
Kaiser may not be, as he thinks
he is, supreme in this world and
that ere long he will fold his sails
and HE for safety to some un-
known country or world. Such
defiance as he attempted to foist
ought not, and will not, carry. if
my prognosis is correct.
Another old landmark has
been removed by the death of
John F. Bubeck, who resided in
our village for the last years of
his life and for manv more wears

tics later than the school year

have in the meantime increased
the average length of the school
