COLD CONTINUES
IN CURDS BELT
Feared That the Extreme Coid
Will Kill the Trees—Grow
ers Disheartened.
San Francisco, Jan. 9.—The
cold wave in I he citrus bell con
tinues without any indication of
a rise in the temperature. It is
feared that many of the trees
have been killed, and that a con
tinuance of the cold will practi
cally result in the killing of the
industry. Growers are disheart
ened.
James Clark, a stableman 26
years of age, was found frozen
to death in an empty lot. This
is the first case of a man freez
ing to death in the history of
I he place.
The loss to the citrus crop will
aggregate $50,000,000.
EAGLES TO HOLD
BI-IKONTHLY DANCES
The local Order of Moose have
arranged with the Eagles to al
lernate the Saturday night
dances, thus giving the' Eagles an
opportunity to conduct Ihese pop
ular dances semi-monthly with
out running opposition to the
Moose. The first of these dances
will Lie given in Eagle hall next
Saturday, January 11th, and it is
the intention of Ihe-efftomilteo in
charge to make this affair one
to he long remembered. The well
known hospitality of I lie Eagles
and the exceptionally good con
dition of the dance floor will un
doubtedly make these affairs
popular successes from the start.
The dances will be conducted
along the same lines as those
given by the Moose and the gen
eral public is invited to attend,
the committee, however, reserv
ing the right of admission. The
following Saturday night will lie
Moose night.
It's surprising to see how
many people make for “The
•Miff” to get warm rooms these
snappy days.

The Time
To advertise. If business is quiei
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try It.
