COLD WAVE TO
ENVELOP CITY
in FEW HOURS
Zero Weather TO Arrive To-
morrow, Preceded by
Snow Flurries

The first zero weather of the sea-
son is expected 10 follow in the
wake of the disturbance moving
from Manitoba. southeastward down
the st. Lawrence Valley toward the
Atlantic coast This is the chilly
news given out to-day by Forecas-
ter E. Il. Domain in charge of the
Harrisburg Weather Bureau.
NOT much change in temperature
is noticeable this afternoon, but with
lhe approach of evening, the van
guard of the disturbance will bring
the cooler weather with it. The
mercury will continue to drop
throughout the night and will rest
around the ten degree figure. This
is the lowest point that will be
reached tonight. Harrisburgers,
however, cannot build up courage on
this information.
But the information Mr.. Demain
gives out concerning conditions to-
morrow is causing city merchants to
get ready for big rush on winter
wear Many people have, delayed
getting into real winter garments be-
cause of the mild weather that has
thus far generally prevailed, but
their comfort in light wear is al
fury is getting ready to grip the
city firmly.
Tomorrow, Mr.. Demain says, the
weather will get continually colder
as the body of the northwestern
disturbance passes through Central
pennsylvania. Fair and colder will
be the weather, Mr.. Demain SAYS.
adding that the mercury will drop
to the zero figure.
The figure will hover consistently
about this figure and when Harris
burg awakes on Saturday morning,
the slush ice in the Susquehanna,
which will increase considerably in
volume tomorrow, is not expected
TO be moving. For the first time of
the season. the Susquehanna is ex-
pected to be ice bound I'M company
with most other streams of the
state.
The zero weather is expected to
continue for several days. There is
no possibility that it will break up
before the weekend and there is
not assurance that it will then.

THRIFT STAMPS
OF LAST ISSUE
OF FULL VALUE
Those Not Exchanged Before
January | TO Go With
New Bonds

Persons possessing Thrift Stamps
which they bought last year, and
which they did not exchange for
Baby Bonds before January 1. were
reassured this morning that their
stamps have the same value as for
merly. and when they get enough to
purchase Baby Bonds, they can be
used with the stamps purchased this
year.
Many persons who have on hand
few of the Thrift Stamps issued
last year, but who did not have
enough to buy War Savings Stamps,
were fearful lest they would not be
redeemed for Baby Bonds during
this year. Postmaster Sites declar-
ed that there is no difference in the
stamps of last year and 1919.
Campaign Goes On
The cessation of hostilities does
not mean that the sale of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps will lag in
Dauphin county, it was added to-
day.
A supply of 1919 War Savings
stamps has arrived at the Post Of
flee. They are smaller than the
stamps of 1918, and different in de-
sign. This years stamps bear a
picture of Franklin. and are blue
while last years were green, and
the design contained a portrait OF
Washington.
The method of sale in 1919 will
be the same as last year. During
January, War Savings Stamp will
cost $4.l2. next month they will cost
$4.13, and they will increase one cent
a month throughout the year. They
mature January ., 1924, at a value
of $5.
Postmaster Sites has not organ
lied n contest among the mail car
riers to stimulate the sale of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps. The
county has not underwritten a spe-
Gifted amount of stamps to sell, as
it did last year, but the campaign
will be pushed with continued en-
erCy
