snowfall and long ana cOHClnulHS CoAu
waves broken by warm PERIODS ot
brief duration is predicted by HERBERT
T. Brown widely known ocean A!e-
terologist. An abnormal conoltlon' NC
holds, is pointed to by many Iactots'
including the record-breaklng colo IN
many sections of the country tnls Iail
beginning with the first SHOWS IN the
northwest on September 10, TOUR DAYS
before the official close OF summer.
The winter, he believes, Will pc Iol-
lowed by a late spring. 1t is hopeo
his prediction will not come true, now
ever it will be we'll to prepare lot
what may be the longest and coldest
winter ever experienced IN TINS coun-
try. Feed for stock, fuel and proVl-
sions for the home should be proVlded
in liberal quantities. Take time by
the forelock and purchase your winter
supply. No matter if you do not need
them all there is nothing lost Dut
much to gain. Don't wait until the
roads are tied up with heavy snow
falls, for the sharks can take adVan-
tage of you with higher prices for
their products.
Pupils in Subscription Campaign
The Curtis Publishing Co. is again
giving the Potosi high school the OPP
portunity of obtaining funds for scnool
equipment by canvassing Tor SUD
scriptions to three of their perlodl-
Gals, namely: The Ladies Home Jour-
nal, The Country Gentleman and the
Saturday Evening Post. The pupils
have organized themselves into three
canvassing groups which are known
as the Green group, the Red group
and the Orange group, with ALVIN
Schmitz, David Seaton and Waiter
Reinecke named as leaders OF the re-
spective groups. Miss Mercile Lesser
will act in the capacity OF aleS man
ager. A feature of the canVaSSlng Or
ganization is that the groups securing
the least number of subscriptions are
booked to entertain the winning group
to a party or similar function en-
titled "a trip to the moon" The IN
structions to carry out the party are
given by the publishing company in
q sealed envelope that will not be
opened until the canvassing ceases.
A Pleasant Surprise
Mrs. Kate Fure, an elderly lady
whom the writer has known for many
years, was very agreeably and pleas
antly surprised at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Jake Udelhofen, in Po-
tosi, Thursday evening, Nov. II. 1t
was when a few of her lady friends
invaded the home with covered dishes
and congratulated Mrs. Fure on her
birthday anniversary, number of years
not given. Those who were present
were the Mesdames John Campbell,
w. C. Hymer, Andy Kaltenbach, Nick
Twohig, ]. Henry Coons, Mate Thorn
as, Jake Udelhofen, Robert Travis

Passing Of "JOe," the Faithful
E. A. Berge, mail carrier on Route
one, is grieving over the loss of his
good and faithful old horse, Joe, .
that he had driven on the route for
some years. Old "Joe" took sick in the
harness while on the trip Friday He
was gotten home and DR.. Eckert, vet
erinarian of Lancaster, was called and
labored with the horse for several
hours but OF no avail-old Joe"
passed in his checks and has gone to
where all good horses go. The loss of
the horse will necessitate Mr.. Berge
getting another one to replace old
"Joe'' and it is doubtful if he can get
one as faithful as he was.
Dispose of POtOsi Oil Co. Business
The stockholders of the Potosi Oil
Co. held a meeting at the garage in
Tennyson to take into consideration
the advisability of disposing of the
business. An offer to take over. the
business was made by the Iowa Oil
Co. of Dubuque, was accepted, and the
Potosi Oil Co. is now an enterprise Of
the past. 1t is not as yet definitely
known whether or not the purchas-
ers will maintain station in Potosi
but the presumptions are that they
will as it is a point of interest to
them.
