 they have had for two years. The tem- 

 perature dropped to 18 degrees below 

 zero. January 21, and remained at this 

 point for two or three days. As a 

 consequence, deliveries are hard to 

 make and a large amount of coal is be- 

 ing consuni.'cl ill Jill attempt to keep the 

 greenhouses warm. Business has re- 

 mained good and indications are that it 

 will continue in this manner until spring. 

 Some building work was started last fall

 among those of the trade ;uh1 anions the
