Mr. and Mrs. B. Springer spent Monday afternoon in Charles City. Mr.

Kuehne returned to his home in Wisconsin after visiting with his sons for a few weeks Mrs. George Detrick and daughter Dotha went to Nashua Saturday to HAT la to become of all tbe Christmas plants that are delivered from tbe florist Christmas time? Perhaps it would as well for those who like to see things growing and dislike the thought of anything dying not to seek tbe answer for I hare no doubt that many which hare been for the time greatly admired will In rapid succession follow tbe same course to a common fate--tbe trash can. To some, of course, such a fate la more or less Inevitable under the best of core. For instance, a polnsettla could not be expected to last all winter, and it might not be enjoyed if it did, being distinctly a plant of the Christmas season. However, it may be kept In a fairly healthy condition for several weeks If It la kept in a somewhat warm room and watered sparingly.

And when it does begin to fade it should be remembered that it is capable of serving other years of Usefulness after this one. So if yon have no way In which to care for it give it to some friend who has her own place for keeping plants. To care for the plants tbat have come to you In comparatively good condl tion Is not a difficult task, for they probably have been given sufficient fertilizer to last for some time, and therefore that particular want need not be considered for the present Bnt they will need attention in three things --water, heat and light In watering remember that flower- Ing plants require, as a rule, plenty of water, particularly azaleas, cyclamen and bulbs. The lovely little ardlslas, with their red berries, can be glTen less water; also geraniums. Heather has strong roots, and the mistake is often made of watering It too much, for its small roots are In a very fine mesh, and they hold the water and are liable to rot if given more than they absorb right away.

Orange and Our Patrons and Friends As the old year is so near the close we wish at this time to express our full appreciation of the liberal patronage the automobile owners of Greene and vicinity have bestowed upon us. Though we have endeavored in every instance to give value received in the sale of excessories, tires, oils and gasolene, your trade has been most acceptable. We hope for you one and all that the Christmas time will bring you the comforts and joys you have so richly earned, and that there will be no clouds to mar the greatest of all the national holidays. We shall strive earnestly in the future to merit a continuance of partronage, and hope by so doing you will continue to come to our place for your supplies. We wish you one and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

During the "cold summer of 1816," according to a description of that year printed in an old edition of the Toledo Blade, flour went to $13 a barrel. It is also said that the average price of wheat in England was 97 shillings per quarter.

This is almost $3 a bushel. As a result of the shortage of food, bread riots occurred throughout England in 1817. Verv little corn ripened in New England and the middle state farmers supplied themselves with seed corn for 1817 with corn left over from 1815. It sold at from $4 to $5 a bushel. But for an abundant potato crop in England the kingdom would have suffered all the horrors of a famine W.
