BLIZZARD VISITS THIS SEC
TION LAST SATURDAY

Severe cold weather and the coal
strike have been the headliners during
the past week. Last Saturday even
ing this section was given a touch of
real winter in the nature of an old
fashioned blizzard, the storm becom-
ing more severe during the night and
Sunday. A heavy fall of snow cover
ed the ground, drifting pretty badly,
and placing the roads in an almost
impossible condition
The storm abated Monday, but
Tuesday another small blizzard was in

ably below the zero mark. The
storm was general in Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and western Nebraska, and ser

there has been an abundance of
moisture which will prove very bene-
ficial to the growing grain, condi-
ton which will be worth thousands
of dollars to the farmers, notwith-
standing the Inconvenience experien-
ced at the present time.
1t would seem that winter was COM
ing early this year. Several of the
beet growers have not yet finished
their beet harvest, and they will be
necessarily delayed in their work.
Public sales that were advertised and
scheduled to have been held this week,
have been postponed on account of
the bad condition of the roads.

a silver lining" as the old saying
goes.
