Such Extreme Change is
Now En Route.
ROUGH RIDIN' "MULE."
Sikeston, Mo., Nov. - 19. Rather
mean hospitality, the strangers called
it, when Deputy Sheriffs Tom Scott
and Lee Morrow arrested them and
took their "mule" after the two
strangers had invited ,the officers to
have a little "nip." It was a matter of
"compensating the good Samaritans
for the proffered ' ride in the official
car that the "nip" was offered. They
were "hot-footing" it away from here
when the officers "asked them to
ride."
Careful householders, prepare to
stoke the furnace and to cut off the
water, for, by nightfall Sunday, the
thermometer will have dropped 50 de
grees from the highest mark registered
Saturday.
This timely ; warning is issued by
G. S. Lindgren, meteorologist in charge
of the local weather bureau. Mr.
Lindgren said Saturday night that th
balmy temperature of Saturday, .win
give way to more Win try -like atmos
phere as soon as the winds change
and, according to indications Saturday
night, the change .was liable to occur
at nay moment.
The mean temperature Saturday was
GS degrees, which was 1.9 "degrees abov".
normal for the day, Mriandgrentsaid:
The man on the street was about
ready to agree that the temperature
was more than that degree for, thig
satge of November. It was the ad
vent of an early Spring: or the return'
of summer, for him. ?
The storm center was along the
Mississippi . River, said the weather
man, . nad moving eastward. Around
the Great . Lakes Wintry weather was
in evidence, snow being reported in Chi
cago and .vicinity. According to. the
calculations of the-local weather sage;
churchgoers will be wending their way
to houses of worship Sunday in over
coats and heavy wraps. .
