We felt the winters early touch
on Tuesday when the northeasterly
snow storm brought from six to ten
inches of snow. Huge drifts were
piled up in some places and roads
were blocked to traffic. Mail carriers
going out Tuesday morning could not
complete their routes. Attendance
at the local school was small, very
few of the country children attending.
The local mail carriers have pro-
vided themselves with "snowbirds"
and will soon be able to deliver mail
to the rural boxes regardless of what
kind of snow drifts there will be in
the road.

the drought of Summer. but they still

A great deal Of the water which
falls in the Ozark region OF missouri
drains away in subterraneau riVuletS

come to the surface they are called
springs, and the largest or the springs
form rivers that are navigable for

Mississippi River, for the lake rises

is an intake, and when the stream Is
