Says It Should Be Crime to Own a Thermometer.

Wheatfield Review. Marshall Steel, of Poplar, Mont., came last week for a visit with his brother, Cyril, and family. The visitor was formerly a Jasperite but has been living in the wes£ for several years and'reports that he has made good as a farmer in Montana. He speaks highly of the country and said that when the thermometer registered 57 below zero this winter he didn’t notice it and remarked that people wouldn’t feel so darned cold rs thermometers were wiped off the earth. Out in Montana he said that the people never feel cold until somebody tells them how much below zero it is. He is in favor of making it a crime to own a thermometer.
