Heavy snows, thaws, rain, more snow and
extreme cold weather, one crowding on the

th j streets and roads about Broken Bow a
veritable nightmare for the unwary
traveler. People who have lived In this
part of the country most of their lives de
clare the extsting conditions so early In
the winter are worse than they hav ever
seen them. It' is extremely difficult for
farmers at a distance to get hay and grain
to market In large quantities, consequently
there has been a -steady Increase In the
prices. Baled alfalfa la bringing about 112

Cushman braved the element and drove

his team was so thoroughly exhausted that
both animals dropped in the stalls. It is
doubtful it the team will ever regain, ltf
