"THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF 'W IT WAS In December, ISM. For days the weather hud been mild, but the early settlors In the Mississippi valley shook their heads doubtfully. "It's a weather-breeder," they said ominously. "It was like thin In December, isw. the winter of the deep snow. Look out for a change I Then the change came. First a lltfht snow fell, then It turned to rain and the ground became ankle-deep lu slush. Suddenly a cid wind. Dew" blowing from the west. Almost Instant ly the temperature dropped from 40 degrees above lero to 20 below, a change of 00 degrees In a little more than that many seconds. The whole face of the country was changed from water to Ice und In some places the strong wind blew the water In a series of ripples which froze, mak- Inir a stretch of rldices on the Ice. In one settlement a group of boys, going home from school, came to a pond about fifty yards wide. The larger boys started to wade across and reached the onnoslte side only with difficulty for the water was freezing ahead of them. One little fellow held back for a few minutes and by the time he had started the Ice was thick enouirh to suDDort his weight the whole distance. The "sudden change" wrought ter- rihln havoc over a wide stretch of country. Deer, elk and other wild animals perished In their tracks. The settlers' live stock seemed to be driven craiv by the sudden cold. Chick ens curled ud on their roosts and fell to the ground, frozen solid. Thousands of horses, cattle and hogs died before they could be brought Into shelter. A vnune bov who was riding home from a neighbor's cabin was thrown from his horse, which ran away. His hoots were filled with water and by the time he bad reached home, only a short distance away, both ooots were frozen fast to his feet. One man, rid Ing across the prairie, realized that he would not be able to reach the nearest settlement alive If he tried to push on. So he dismounted, killed his horse, dismembered It and crawled in side the warm body to escape the Meld wind. Weeks later passersby found his frozen body Inside Its Icy tomb. Later Investigations of the "sudden change" showed that the Icy blast had struck the Mississippi river settle ments about ten o'clock In the morn ing. By three o'clock that afternoon It had reached central Illinois and by eleven o'clock Indianapolis was In ltf grip.

YOUNG BROTHERS DAIRY Radio Po$ibilitie$ A nromlnent English radio auditor snld recently that be could foresee th day when rndlo would create tin ex change of experiences between the si lence of nature and the hum of the city. He said: "I would set up my aerial tomorrow If in the heart of Lon don 1 could hear the cattle lowing on remote hills or the barking of a fox In Essex, or the scream of an eagle over a Scottish glen. I would gladly summon the roar of Niagara to rearess the roar of the Strand ; but suen things are not yet" Prolific Sow A. Clow, Bockwood, Ont., Is the pos sessor of a sow that has broken all breeding records of western Ontario. Although only six years old. this hog has given birth to no fewer than ten litters of dIks.

Coffee Ship More Than Three Years on Voyage The old Dutch sailing vessels of days gone by were notoriously slow, blunt of bow and clumsy. 1 heir slow ness was considered an advantirJM by Importers of green coffee from The Netherlands East Indies to AmerW i, ulnoe tha effect of the conllnemeul of the coffee beneath closed hatches was held greutly to Improve Its nuvor Such "sweated" coffee brought top prices in the market During the World war one shipment of Timor coffee Is said to have taken three and a half years coming from Java to New York.

Dr. G. 8 Warren, agricultural economist of Cornell university, has collect ed evidence on the price trend to be expected. He finds prices are acting In almost exactly the same way they did following the Civil- war. The price level following the Civil war continued to fall for 18 years. Dr. Warren, believes price levels In the United States will again act In this way. The present huge supply of gold has much to do with the situation. Great Britain alone has sent to the United States Blnce the beginning of the war more than Sl.800.000.000 worth of aold nearly a quarter of all the gold money In i the world. Before long, Dr. Warren thinks, Europe will take her gold back. V The staunchest friend one can have is a bank book of his own to lean upon.
