 Yes, It Was Cold.
 Yesterday was one of the coldest days of the winter that has so far been experienced by the people of Plainville, the mercury dropping as l low as 26 degrees below in places
 throughout the town. Headed by a. strong northwest wind the cold was SO penetrating that many people were compelled to remain inside. A great many cases of frozen ears and noses are reported and the doctors are busy with their hands full relieving those who were tickled by Jack Frost. The plumbers had more work on their hands than they have had in a, long time on account of the freezing up of the water pipes and also with the bursting of pipes which was caused in some cases by the amateurs who were doing their best to relieve the situation. Not only the water pipes but also the gas pipes were frozen and the housewives and others who are wont to use gas for heating and cooking purposes were in a tight pinch. The shortage of coal has made it necessary for many people to use
 gas entirely for cooking purposes and
 also for the heating of their homes. Red Cross Report. The Red Cross society has issued a report which gives the amount of
 articles made and completed to date, that used for and have been sent
 over to the soldiers of the United States who are on the battlefront of France, and also sent out to those l who were drafted and who are sta 1 toned at the different training camps throughout the states.
