on five consecutive days. According to the records of the Albany Weather Bureau, December, 1917, showed the lowest temperature average in forty^ one years, December, 1876, having re­corded the same mean temperature for the month, seventeen degrees. While the normal average temperature for December during the forty-four years since the Weather Bureau was estab­lished has been 27.5, the mean tempera­ture last month was 17.2, which shows an average daily deficiency in tempera­ture of 10.3 degress. There have been other cold Decembers, however, the av­erage for the month in 1904 and in 1890 being twenty degrees, and in 1910 it was but twenty-two. December, 1917, made a new minimum record, however, the lowest temperature officially recorded being 19.2 below last Sunday, and the nearest approach to thia was on De­cember 27, 1914, when the mercury dropped to eighteen below.

Since 9 p. m. last Friday The Troy Times official thermometer has shown temperatures above zero but three times and then for comparatively short periods, the highest point reached so far being seven degrees above about 2 o'clock yesterday. The mercury has stood above zero only twenty hours in almost a week, and in some of the out­lying districts and more exposed places has not gone above zero at all. The official thermometer yesterday showed the temperature above zero from 10 o'clock yesterday morning until nearly 11 o'clock last night, but to-day Was somewhat colder, as the mercury did not Vllmb above the zero mark ujjtil well after noon.

The slightly moderated temperature during the middle of the day has enabled the Icemen to resume the har­vest, and the finest Ice cut In many years Is being housed. Clear water Ice of from twelve to sixteen Inches thick­ness is being taken from the river and local ponds. The lower Hudson amd Mohawk valleys show comparatively small amounts of snow remaining on the ground. Corinth with twenty-two Inches has the greatest depth of snow, and Hoosick Falls has the greatest thickness of Ice, eighteen Inches. Me-chanlcville shows three inches of snow and twelve inches of ice and Glens Fa l l s has thirteen Inches of snow and nine-inch Ice.

THE NEW VOTERS.

The Republican Party of Rensselaer County Invites Women to Represen­tation in the Party Councils—A Let­ter From Chairman Lewis—Views to Be Exchanged at a Conference Tues­day.

The Republican County Committee will hold a quarterly meeting at head­quarters on Fourth Street Tuesday, January 8, at noon, when party matters will be considered. In connection with this meeting Chairman Harry A. Lewis has addressed a letter to representative women of the county asking them to attend and consider the relation of the

k women to the party. The letter fol­lows:

The Republican County Committee of the County of Rensselaer Ts Che Republican party organization of this county, a» you know. Its membership includes one Committeeman from each election district. For this reason every shade of political belief within the party fs represented and this fact is em­phasized when we remember that each must be elected by the direct vote of the enrolled Republicans of the dis­trict.

It should be and, I believe, is the wish of this committee to meet the new voter of the county more than halfway in any effort on her part to devise a plan whereby ahe may be rep­resented in all party councils. All that should be required of her would be that she signify In some way her al­legiance to the Republican party.

If Interested in the principles of the Republican party and if interested in this question of representation. will you suggest any plan that seems likely to briryg about a mutually satisfactory result, especially to the women them­selves?

The regular quarterly meeting of the County Committee will be held at headquarters, 26 Fourth Street, Tues­day, January 8, at 12 o'clock noon. You are cordially invited to be present on that occasion, at which time we will be glad to have you express your views personally or In writing.

Very truly yours H. A. LEWIS.

MRS. ANNIE SRERWOOD HAWKS. •

Death at Bennington of Author of Famous Gospel Hymns—Was Edu* <•ai.Nl In Troy Female Seminar)-— Her First Verse Published In This City.

Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks, author of many famous gospel hymns. Including I "I Need Thee Every Hour," died at her i home at Bennington, Vt.. to-day at the 1 age of eighty-three. With the death of the celebrated Fanny Crosby some time ago, Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks was left as perhaps the last of the noted writers of the gospel hymns of the last half-century. From her fourteenth ye^r. when her first bit of verse was puuUshed In this city, she devoted a large part of her long life to the production of poems and hymns. Of her hymns which came Into common use the best known Is "I Need Thee Every Hour," which Is said to have been translated Into more for­eign languages than any other modem hymn. Mrs. Hawka, who was born in Hoosjok In 1835, waa educated in the public schools and in the Troy Female Seminary. After her marriage xo Charles Hial Hawks, member of a New York banking firm, eh© lived in Brooklyn un­til the death of her husband In 1888. Since then she had made her home with her daughter in Bennington, Vt. Hex first hymns were written in 1868 at the suggestion of her pastor, Dr. Robert Lowry, who set several of them to music. Mrs. Hawks describing the writing of her most famous hymn, said: "1 remember well the morning, many years ago, when in the midst of the daily cares of my home 1 was so filled with a sense of nearness to the Master that, wondering how one could live with­out Hlra either in Joy or pain, these words, 'I Need Thee Every Hour,' were flashed into my mind. Seating myself by the open window in the balmy air of the bright June day, 1 caught ray pencil and the words were soon committed to paper, almost as they are being sung now. It was only by accident, as It would seem, that they were set to music a few months later and sung for the first time at a Sunday School convention held In one of the large Western cities. From there they were taken further West and sung by thousands of voices before the echo came back to me." Among other hymns of which Mrs. Hawks was the author are "The Cross for Jesus," "Good Night," "Why Weepest Thou?" "Who'll Be tho Next to Follow Jesus?" and "In the Valley."

Reply From State Commission in An­swer to Query From County Conser-vntion Agents—What Dealers Are Permitted to Do.

Miss Alice J. Bunce, Food Conserva­tion Agent for Rensselaer County, has received a reply from the State Food Commission in answer to her question about "combination sales" made by dealers to compel persons needing sugar to purchase other articles. The com­mission states that all combination sales of food commodities are forbid­den with one exception. The commis­sion also says:

"Pending further notice, and as a what conservation measure, the dealer may sell sugar in combination with cornmeal, at the rate of one pound of sugar with two of cornmeal. No other combination will be permitted, nor will any other ratio than that here stated t>6 fallowed.

"The dealer shall not sell either the sugar or the cornmeal at a price yield­ing him a profit greater than he has normally enjoyed upon the particular commodity.

"The dealer is not required to make combination sales of sugar and corn­meal, but may do so at his discretion."

TROY'S NEW ARMORY.

Tentative Plane Drawn by State Archi­tect Are Now In the Hands of. Gen­eral Kemp for Approval—Building Will be Similar to Old One—Harvard Brick to be Used. Tentative plana for the new Armory,

which Is to be built on Fifteenth,Street, have been drawn by State Architect PIl-cher and are now in the hands of Brig­adier General Kemp for approval. Changes will probably be made before the Armory Commission finally adopts them. It was at first thought that the Armory would be a collection of struc­tures, out the present plans contemplate a large struoture, which will include a large drill shed and company quarters similar to the arrangements of the old Armory. Provision Jiaa not yet been made, but it Is expected, for the housing of horses. An appropriation was made by the state last year after the Armory fire for $300,000 for the purchase of the site and the erection of the structure. The alte>cost $40,000. It Is thought that the money ort\ hand will be sufficient to complete the building. BrlCl^ similar to that used In the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute buildings will be used. It is the Intention to have the new Armory as complete as possible.
