Those warm days we have been
praying for have come. 1t WAS hot
stuff yesterday. and more oft today.
with . prospect Of some more tomor-
row. And 80 on to the end of the
chapter. Still there are people who
grumble. The man with intent ears
might have heard disparsging 70.
marks about the atmospheric condi-
tions peculiar to yesterday. There
are people who never will be salts
fed. Last week they were COM
planning about the chilly weather.
Today the same individuals are dis
satisfied because it is 30 insufferably
intensely hot. The identical per-
sons would kick il q cyclone struck
them. AMI if put to the test as to
whether 10y would prefer coal
wagon or an ice wagon to run over
them, it is doubtful if they could
make . cheerful selection. You
can't please some people. so the best
way to do is to give them all there is
in the calendar and make them take
it. The philosophically inclined
will, meanwhile, when q day like
yesterday comes around, content
himself with the Imagination tina,
he is not the fellow aimed at. and il
he was declares it never touched him
anyway. This weather profile m is east.
~ solved-to person OF Imagination
Did you ever see q man hustling
along the street with no thought Of
the weather until he ran across q
thermometer on the corner. and ther
take of his coat and suddenly col.
lapse? There is large per cent Of
humanity that does not know that it
ID as hot as it is. until somebody
speaks about it. and then does no,
realize that it is as much SO as il il
was twice as much so. YESTERDAY
the range Of temperature reached il
tho maximum "a above zero, and
still there were those who thought il
was only 50. Others swore it wal
$50 il 1t was q notch. Those are tn,
ones that nobody could satisfy.
Many people in Rock Island swell
tered all day yesterday. and thel
lay awake all night thinking about
it. Then the FIST thing they die
this morning was to look at the Their
mometer and wonder anxiously if to
day was to be as hot as yesterday.
Hot Weather just the Thing.
The man who always gets the
worst of the weather, says this styI,
is just to his liking, exactly. Tha
man is the farmer. He has beer
waiting for it and he can stand i
until he gets ready to call for. that
ordinary substitute in life-water
Corn needs this weather. If it dom
get it, we may have nothing but wa
ter next winter. The salvation o
the crop depends upon it. The ic
man feels the need of it, too. II tn
weather did not change once in
