Say; we got in some swell
Spring Suitings last week,
They are right up to the mo-
ment.
Oats are two inches longer than
last year, and the lapels are so much'
broader and deeper that you can't help
but notice them,
The rests are cut with five buttons.
The pants u.re just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for $15,
$18 and $20, and no matter where yon
go on can't find anything that will
t as nicely as they do.

A regular storm period is central
with the New boon on the 24th. The
Venus period still exists during this
period, adding itsiPiia?ence to Earr'ti)'g
Vernal Ecininam, at its center. The
Moon is also on the celestial equator
on the 25th, near its conjunction with
Earth and Sun on the 24th. By the
23rd almost a phenomenal change to
warmer will be noted in western sec-
tions. The barometer will fall rapidly
to very low readings in the same sec-
tions. High winds will blow from the
east and south, cloudiness will increase
as these general storm conditions move
eastward into the central valleys, and
on next to Friday, the 23rd, to Tues-
day, the 27th, stories of marked inten-
sity and violence will visit most parts
of the country, moving according to
the progressive law governing storms
from west to east. Regular tropical,
thunder, rain and hail storms will.
strikeinany localities, especially south-
ward during the eastward sweep of
these disturbances; but no one should
lose sight of the fact that severe Mar-
cia blizzards and a full-grown cold
wave for the season. will wind up this
period from the northwest.

recent snow fall with which we have
been favored owing to the fact that it
will prevent to a great extent damage

very damaging to these crops. A coat-
ing of snow is very beneficial.
