Easter Rain “Sign” Failed Last Sunday.

Last Sunday, the second" Sunday since Easter, the old adage regarding rain, failed to connect, but proving the truth of another adage, however, that “all signs fail at a dry time.’’ The day was bright and very pleasant; ahd every one possessing an automobile was out taking advantage of the balmy atmosphere. Our recent rains did a great deal of good, but they moistened the earth to a depth of only a few inches, while beneath that it is still dry as a bone. We need several inches of rain soon to insure good grass and grain crops.
