Henry Vosbeck, janitor at the
Free Press building, commenting on
weather conditions todav said that
last year he commenced firing the
Free Press heating plant on October
10. and there was no let up until
May Is. Mr.. Vosbeck predicts mild
winter. One of his reasons is that
the cornhusks are light this year
Another one Is that the SQUIRRELS arc
not storine many provisions away
for the winter. The greatest reason
however, is that Henry feels in his
bones that the winter is goiDg to be
a mild one, and that's al there Is
to il. If Henrv's predictions fall
DOWN he had better take to the "tall
and uncut." Peeved coal consumers
