A large crowd gathered at E. B. Lynehe’s furniture store this afternoon to watch the contest in baking between a number of little girls under fourteen years of age. We have had contests in debating, oratory, art and needlework, but here was something practical, something calculated to appeal to masculine as well as the femenine. Biscuits were the articles to be baked, and they were turned out by tin* little workers in brown and luc.ious loveliness, with ilakey white beneath Hie brown, needing only a lump of golden butter to make a dish fit for a queen. Really the reporter grew poetical watching those biscuits come from the deft fingers of the liitli cooks. The contest was inaugurated by the itui'k Stove and Range co., and the first prize was a minature Bucks Range, which will bake cakes and biscuit as well as its larger relatives. Second and third prizes were given, both being pictures beautifully framed. That the c intest might bo perfectly fair tlie store furnished all tile ingredients. Big Four Hour being used. About twent y elite; ■ d the contest.

Rev. R. Hicks in his weather predietions for January promises abundance of cold weather with many storms and heavy snowfall. He says; “A reactionary storm period is central on tlie 1st, 2nd and 3rd. There are several reasons for apprehending general and severe terrestrial and atmospheric perturbations at and about this first -Korin period in 1908. Within seventy minutes of sunset on tho 3rd general and heavy winter storm, amounting to bllz/. irds and blockades in any sections, with severe seismic disturbances in many parts of the earth may reasonably be counted on. No reader of these forecasts should be surprised if one of the greatest cold waves of tlie winter appears from about the 3rd to the 7th, progressively out of the northwest. By tlie 7th rising temperature, falling barometer and renewed storms of rain, sleet and snow will appear in western sections. My the 9th the front of these s:orm areas will reach central parts of the Mississippi valley, with possible winter lightening and thunder southward on and touching that day. Moantime a phenomenally high barometer and a rushing cold wave will bo advancing from the northwest. By tlie 1 Ith the storms, amounting to blizzards over wide areas, will have passed to the Atlantic seaboard, leaving the high barometer nnd severe cold to dominate the countrj generally, progressively from about the 10th to the 13th.
