awful Saturday. when the mercury

Today the temperature at noon was
20 degrees and year ago it was
IL below zero, a difference of 80 de-
grees.
Merchants of this city say that there
Is such difference in the amount of
sales In these two Saturdays that it
Is almost amusing. Last year most
OF the stores closed at noon because
they had no customers. and were I'M
able to heat the stores.
Newspapers a year ago today said:
"All traffic was paralyzed and trains
stood STILL and the first interurban
from Indianapolis arrived late this
afternoon"
To add to the unpleasantness of
the situation, it was almost impossible
to buy coal at any price. Hundreds
of persons crowded into the fuel ad
ministrator's office to beg for coal,
and only half ton orders were filled
But today-well the war is over and
maybe that accounts for the weather
of 1919 as compared with that of
1918.
