We can't change it so might just as well try to enjoy it. r : Although it is cold, there is a nice warm blanket of snow which covers the fields and affords excellent pro tection against - the danger of the young wheat freezing. The coasting is getting excellent and everybody including grown-ups are having a great amount of fun. The cold makes us all feel ambitious and if the nights in the summer time were as cool as these, we would all enjoy our night's rest quite a bit better. ' . If we can have about three more weeks of this kind of weather, we will surely have spring when it breaks. When we think of the poor people in China, I do not think , that we, when sitting by a cozy fire after a hearty meal, had ought to be dissat isfied with life or old Jupe's tricks. Athletics ' .
