This VIII Comfort You.

Fearing that perhaps the public will
not know the precise character of the
white substance now covering the
earth In large quantities, we hasten to
explain that 1t Is snow, or, In French,
neige; in German, schnee; In Dutch,
sneeuw; In slavonic, sneig; In Italian,
neve.
In small quantities 1t Is harmless and
beautiful. In amounts such as are Mt
present with u.s. 1t defies description
in polite language. Snow, nelge,
sneeuw, etc, ETC., Is water-vapor con.
densed from the atmosphere and pre-
cipitated upon this already troubled
earth In frozen and crystalline con-
dition. The article we know as snow
is produced when the process of con.
densatlOn and fall occurs In n temper
ature below 80 degrees.
We might add, by way Of making
this explanation complete and clear,
that the crystals vary greatly in form
and belong to the hexagonal system.
They are formed upon n nucleus In
the same way as n raIndrop.
This, we feel, ought to make cer-
tain recent events and present condi-
ti0ns much easier to bear,-Cincinnat

Ground Glass in Bread.

Aunt Sarah McDougal, well known
pioneer lady of Weston. and owner of
the famous McDougal Camp in the
Blue mountains, knows what it is to
be victim of the ground glass pro-
poganda. Sunday she cut open loaf
of bread from the Model bakery at
Walla Walla and after having eaten a
couple of small slices, cut another and
encountered particles of glass. Ex-
amining the loaf, she found as much
as a handful of ground glass in the
center Of the loaf. She at once took
an emetic and called her son. S. A.
Barnes who notified District Attorney
Keator who at once came up from Pen
dleton to Weston. The federal auth
critics were communicated with, and
an investigation is being made. 1t is
thought that some enemy of the bak-
cry owners put the glass in the bread.
as no other loaves of the same ship
ment at Weston showed traces of glass.
