Good Weather in January
We expect good weather in January. It is the rule. Del
egates who attended the conventions at Alliance and
North Platte, other western Nebraska cities, will remem
ber the excellent weather which helped the entertainment
wonderfully. There are plenty of automobiles in Craw
ford which "eat up" the excellent western roads like a
prairie fire before a sixty-mile wind. Autos are used all
winter out here and mud is unknown. Hring your over-
coats we don't believe you'll need to use 'em.
