that last saturday men shoppers were in the majority while the women folk remained at home rather than travel the muddy roads doctors tell us that farmers lanes never were n such bad condition and it is probably all due to the open- winter with the ground filled with water so that the boggy condition is deep down and the water is not draining away so fast then of course township roads kept well plowed during the severe weather took in the frost to a great depth and this hard pan under mud all delays the drying up process i add to this the fact that easter is ten days earlier than last year
