Gazette Reporter Tries To
 Explain Blizzard Report

Eminently right one time, MT. Spectator. that light bill did stag ger the Gazette Scribbler. to- gether with the odor of the hootch he saw poured out in the street, adding his angryness because he could not get the opportunity to swipe jar of that good looking old corn whiskey. All this would make you. Mir. Spectator. as it did the Gazetter. get entangled in the wires. and you wouldn't know where you were at.
 Anyone will get balled up if he attempts to dabble with the weather or politics, because the weather bureauites get it mixed up badly. and many a good man has been ruined by politics.
