Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 March 1918 — SLIP ’EM OUT AGAIN. [ARTICLE]

SLIP ’EM OUT AGAIN.

Off with the “lights” and on with the “heavies.” Cold weather again is with us. March, frivolous, inconsistent March, is up to her usual tricks. The month of windstorms just can’t behave any longer, and she has awakened to the fact that she has been good too long and now notes with alarm that she has but a few more days left in which to cut up capers. If her past reputation for bad weather is to be lived up to she must get busy, and this she seems bent on doing. The weatherman dealt out some rain for today’s program and has announced that Saturday will be fair but cold. Gardeners, enthused with ther last year’s showing, brought forth their garden tools and prepared for an early start, but these same tools are now in drydock. The enthusiasm of the gardeners is o nthe wane and the only thing that will restors it, is some more nice weather, and the indications are that we will have none of that for at least three weeks.
