GREEN, DRY CHRISTMAS
COLD WAVE IN DISTANCE
Fifty Below in Dakotas and Coming
This Way-No Snow or
Rain in Sight.

So far as the weather bureau can see
green Christmas, but a dry one. No
snow or rain is in sight at present and
none Is looked for, the forecaster said
today.
Christmas eve and the early part of
Christmas day, according to the fore
cast, will be slightly warmer. But look
out for tomorrow afternoon and night.
because a cold wave is coming.
Out in the northwest and along the
upper Mississippi valley the old-fash-
toned Medicine Hat kind of weather Is
raging, with temperatures dropping 40
to so degrees in the Dakotas. Cold-wave
warnings have been issued for the up
per lake regions for tonight.
The frigidity is sweeping eastward.
and is expected to reach the Atlantic
coast by late tomorrow afternoon or
evening. Then the mercury is due to
take a tumble, according to the weather
bureau.
Just how cold it may get the experts
are not inclined to say. combining their
remarks to seneralities such as much
colder weather" and lower tempera-
lures"
However. the men who do the fore
casting feel reasonably certain there
ments to the cold. saying they think it
VIII be dry cold. They are likewise
unwilling to venture a prediction as to
how long the cold snap. cold wave or
whatever 1t may turn out to be, will
remain with us.

Playing the Game

The men who've studied things
like these, who've studied them in
forty ways, say we can help things
DER the seas by having sundry
meatless days. They say, Cut
out the wheaton bread one day
week, and eat corn pone; lap up
less sugar when you're fed, and
help to make the foeman groan.
1t isn't much to ask, gadzooks,
and to refuse them were shame;
so let's instruct our gifted cooks
to read the rules and play the
game. | eat a rooster once a
week, which braces me to play my
harp; again | go down to the
creek and lariat a cod or carp.
When to the table l repair, in
solemn state, three times day,
and sec loaf of white bread there
l sternly order it away. | say to
nephew, aunt and niece, go slow
on butter and on lard; the allies
now are needing grease-we must
not eat it by the yard" The gov
eminent is most polite; it asks us
kindly to retrench, and help our
own men in the fight, and exc the
British and the French. Yet some
there are who give no heed, who
laugh polite requests to scorn;
they don't propose to curb their
greed, and live on hens and fish
and corn. They hang around in
every town, you'll see them any
where you look; and Uncle Sam
is writing down their surnames in
his little book.
