MILD WINTER PREDICTED

Weather forecasters, who look to
nature for indications as to what to
expect for the future, are predicting
a mild winter this time. These fore
casters say the absence OF nuts of
all kinds, such as hickory nuts, wal
nuts and even to acorns, is one sure
sign that mild winter is ahead, or
else nature would surely have pro-
vided these things to feed the SPUR
rels and other animals which eat
them. The crop of all sorts of nuts
is scarcer this year than has been
known in long time. Furthermore
there are said to be practically no
dogwood balls; the shuck on the corn
is exceptionally thin, and other things
all point to anything but a rigorous
winter.
