According to" weather prognosticators, mud storms are unusual. It is believed by some that rain clouds passed through a dry or dusty area and become laden with dust, which turns tOtinud as it falls. Weather warmed considerably early in the week. The ground thawed and many believe an early spring is in evidence. Those more conservative believe however that March and the remainder of Februi ary will bring more cold and snow. - - - - Flowers For Valentine Day Let us deliver a showy Potted Plant or fresh cut flowers, as a Valentine gift.
