It’s bad weather, but come out to
the big dance at Hamilton Hall to-
night and get warmed up.
The hall will be warm and com-

dance. Good music and a good time.
The cold wave which swept down
upon us Sunday hangs on although it
is some warmer today. For a brief
spell the thermometer dropped down
to 22 then hovered around 24 and 26
until Monday afternoon it climbed to
28. Today it began at 30 and with a
light mixture of rain and sleet. At
noon it was back to 30.
Palacios selected a bad day for her
celebration, but we are told that the
enforced lack of attendance was made
up in enthusiasm. The occasion mer-

In spite of the mean weather, the

From Wednesday’s Daily.
All places of business will be closed
tomorrow. We are having plenty of
holidays and holidays are expensive.
They not only stop things for the day
observed, but the bad efefet runs into
the next day and sometimes into ihe
next day after the next. As a matter
of good business, doesn't it seem
timely to suggest that we cut out
about half of them, say, for instance,
all except the Fourth of July, Thanks-
giving and Christmas? Think this
over, for holidays cost the business
houses enormously without a single
beneficial result.
Don’t miss the big New Year’s ball
at Hamilton Hall Friday night.
