TEMPERATURE HAS
NOT BEEN BELOW so
WEATHER MAN SAYS

Residents of the Rio Grandc Valley
who hurriedly got into winter clothing
last Monday and have been L~etending
that winter has arrived at last will be
rather discouraged when they learn
that the Valley has had no cold wealth
or.
According to official observations
the lowest record during the week was
fifty degrees. which gives no excuse for
woolcns and winter ovcrcoats.
The record shows that since early
Monday morning continuous cloudy wca.
ther has prevailed, with the sun peep
ing through the clouds for SIX brief
minutes at | o'clock Tuesday. The wind
has been in the north and northwest
continuously. and the temperature has
been in the ffties the entire time. The
highest temperature recorded during
the week was 50 at 1880 today and the
lowest was so at 6 am. Tuesday
At no time during the week has the
temperature varied over five degrees in
p hours. remaining practically the same
throughout the day and night. The local
weather observer states this N distinct
ly out of the ordinary and is accounted
for by the heavy blanket of clouds and
fog which has insulated against varia-
tions Of heat and cold.
The most discouraging part of the re-
port for the week il that the Valley pco-
pie have permitted their teeth to chat
ter when the temperature indicated
there was no excuse for il.

have played tackle during most of the
