For the fourth time in as many

an almost spring-iilSe temperature
prevailed, but an hour later cumulus
clouds of an ominous character began
to appear on the horizon especially
In the southeast, and before 10 O'Clock
the sky was entirely overcast and
snow had began to fall. The storm
was not unexpected, as the unusually
warm weather of the previous "a
hours had convinced the .'progEosti-
Gators that change in conditions
was impending.
The fluctuations of the barometer
also indicated that something was
about to happen in atmospheric affairs
and those who studied its movements
We're not surprised at the coming
storm. At o'clock this morning the
barometer marked 243, but two hours
later it registered 244 an upward ad-
vance of tenth of degree At 5
Thursday evening the barometer at
Hunter Palmer's drug store stood at
24-6. Its decline of three-tenths of
degree in 16 hours was almost in
dubitabie evidence of a radical change
in the weather. Snow is still fall ing

High School Girls
Score Big Success

The two-act operetta, THE Wind
mills of Holland presented at the
Opera House Friday night by the
members OF the Girls Glee Club of the
Canon City high school. was an en-
phatic success in every detail. The
attendance was all that could be de-
sired. and the staging and delineation
of the play was admirable and de
liehtful
The opinion was general that bet
ter or more pleasing entertainment of
the kind had not been seen here for
a long time. Practically every seat
in the Opera House was occupied by
an interested spectator and listener,
splendid tribute to the anticipations
of the public. as well as to its enjoy

received such an ovation. Certainly
none have been more entitled 10 an

showing study and understanding OF
its requirements and relations to the
operetta as whole on the part of its
representatives. In program so well
balanced and carried ont it would be
invidious to compliment or commend
any Of the individuals in the cast. All
were first-class, and all are entitled to
praise for the excellence of their work.
We may be permitted, however. with
out dispararement 10 the others. TO
say that Miss Dorothy Lewis in the
role of Mynheer Hertogonbosh, a rich
Holland farmer. was a scream OF mer-
riment and humor The choruses
were fine and were given well-earned
applause, The operetta was given in
fun Dutch costume. and was an attrac-
tive feature of the entertainment.

Gratiot Committee Wants State to

A committee consisting Of c. f..
Brown, y. L. Johnson, Jotham Allen,
and George Ogden of this city,
and several members of the St. Louis
board Of trade were in Lansing
yesterday for the purpose of en-
deavoring to get some state ac-
tion on the east and west state road
through the county, which runs from
ST. Louis to Alma and west to the
county line.
The condition Of the road was put
before the state highway commits
sioner and he was strongly urged TO
take early action in regard to this
road which is considered one of the
poorest pieces of state road in this
section of Michigan, particularly the
stretch Of road TO the west from Alma
to the county line.
While no definite promise was
given the committee, it is believed
that as "a result of the trip 20 Lansing
that some early attention will be Civ

CREASER BUYS
DAVIES BLOCK
Legal Entanglements Cleared
Away and a Clear Title
Was Secured.
WILL ERECT NEW BUILDING
Modern Brick Structure Will Replace
Present Wooden One in
Near Future.

Philip w Creaser, well known
Alma real estate dealer, has pur-
chased the Davies block Of the VIM.
IT. Davies, Sr, estate, and the prom
se is held out that this block viii be
replaced in the near future by
modern brick structure, in keeping
with the city.
A few weeks ago when he sold the
Creaser block to Floyd Luchini Mr.
Creaser turned his attention TO the
purchase Of the Davies block, but be
cause of the various claims on the
property and the fact that 1t was
part of an estate, made the ironing
out of the legal entanglemetns a big
proposition. Others mad endeavored
to purchase the structure, but be-
cause of the legal entanglements
which they ran across, backed up.
II was a process of several weeks
work on the part of Mr.. Creaser to
get the matter in such shape that a
clear title could be secured upon the
property. When this was done. the
matter was quickly closed up. 1t re
quired that the William T. Davies
estate, Mr.. and Mrs William 7.
Davies, Jr. and Janette NJ Davies.
be satisfied before the matter could
properly be closed up.
When seen yesterday Mr. Creaser
stated that IL was his intention to
replace the present wooden building
with a modern brick structure in the
near future. Plans for the new
structure have not yet been made
and it is very probable that no active
work will be done before late sum-
mer at the earliest and il may pos
sbly be fall before the new structure
is started.
Until the new building is complet-
ed. the new owner Of the property
expects to continue his offices in the
old Creaser block which Floyd Lu-
chini recently purchased.
