IF YOUR HERALD DIDN'T
ARRIVE LAST WEEK, THIS
MAY EXPLAIN 1T

Some of our readers, we are
sorry to say, did not receive their
Herald last week. simply because
we ran short of paper. Paper had
been ordered three weeks be-
forehand, and we filled out gov
eminent form ABC, as has usual
ly been required when ordering
newsprint. The company wrote
us back after some delay, that
due to new regulations, we must
fill out form BQR. This we did,
but during this transaction the
government regulations were
again changed and the paper com
pany again wrote to request us
to fill out form ky before they
could ship our paper. While this
was going on we ran out of pa
per, and many old and new sub
scribers did not get their Herald
that they rightfully expected. We
now have paper and in the flu
ture will try to order early, 3
months or more, so that this will
not happen again.

Old Timers ALI
SturnpedB
Freak Weather

For once the old timers here
about are stumped by the worse
than fres.kish weather we are
having.
They usually declare they have
seen as bad or worse weather
than the kind prevailing at the
time. Even when the 30 or 33
inch snow fell in March, 1912,
the grizzled oldsters avoWed that
they had Waded through deeper
SHOWS in the long ago. But this
time none of them have arose to
to declare so far that they have
known colder weather IN June
than we are having at present.
A good part OF the west has
been covered with snow several
inches deep this week and I'M
usually cool weather prevails far
south. History says that there
were frosts every month in the
year during 1916. In the late sum
mer of that year Thomas Jeffer
son spoke of unusually cool sum
mer in a letter to one of his
friends.
Oats. grass and Irish potatoes
are fairly good, but other crops
are not growing at all.
