wore one pair of shoes with Neolin
Soles for nineteen months. This chase
covering both American continents

him another seven months.
"Until | discovered shoes with
Neolin Soles, bought new shoes about
every two months, said Mr.. Jones.
Twenty-six months of, wear under

FIRST COLD THEN HOT
1913 a Year of Extremes, Says S. d.
Flora in Review.

The year, 1918, began with the cold
est month, except one, since state wide
weather observations were eSta bliShed
in 1887 and had the undesirable dis
tinction of having some of the hottest
and driest summer weather on rec
ord, during June and August, as
shown by a summary of the records
kept at 125 stations of the weather
bureau, which cover conditions in
every county," says S. D. Flora. fed
eral meteorologist in yearly review
of Kansas crop and weather condi-
tions, issued today
1t was a poor year for nearly all
| crops except wheat, and that was
| badly winter killed at the beginning
of the year and in the north-central
| and western parts shriveled up by the
| intense heat just before harvest time.
! Killing frosts came later in the spring
and in most places much earlier in
the fall than usual. Early planted
corn in the southeastern counties
rotted on account of cold weather the
latter part of April and, tho the crop
improved thru May and June and
raised high hopes of good yield by
| the middle of July, it was practically
| burned up by the scorching heat of
August, yielding one of the smallest
returns of grain gathered in the state
, in the past forty-four years. Finally,
after the summer crops had been
| ruined by drought and frost had pre-
maturely killed the drought resisting
grain sorghums over a large part of
the state, the Weather made change
t. cool and damp and the year ended
with almost record breaking falls of
moisture in October, November and
| December, that again soaked the
parched Garth and gave the fall sown
| wheat ore of the best starts it ever
had.
THE highest temperature recorded

August at Minneapolis, which is only
| a degree less than the states record
| for not weather while the lowest was
| 80 degrees below zero on January II
at OberliT, which comes close to the
previous record for low temperatures.
| The hottest month was August, when
| the temperature for the year came
within a degree of normal.
| THE average precipitation Grain
and melted sleet and SNOWY over the
eastern third of the state was 80. A

wester:, third 21.13 inches: and for
the entire state, 2S.O7 inches. which is
| "a inch above normal and the great
| est amount the state has received in
any year. except 1915, and in the past
nine. The annual totals were above
