Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 April 1914 — Weather Still Wet and Nasty. [ARTICLE]

Weather Still Wet and Nasty.

Sunday was what the old-fash-iened weather experts would call a “weather breeder.* ’lt was a beautiful day and everybody was out enjoying it. The late fire at St. Joseph’s college—the gymnasium building—attracted hundreds, perhaps it would be better to say thousands, for it is probable between 2,000 and 3,000 people visited the scene Sunday. Monday morning started in with a drizzling rain which contin»ed throughout the day, and thus putting an end to the hope of farmers who had expected to begin oats sowing early this week. The rain continued all Monday night and until nearly noon yesterday.
