The weather bureau seems to have
gotten things badly mixed this year.
There has been reverse in the order OF
the months, so far as the weather and
the temperature are concerned. Through
out the month of August we had splendid
September weather, with cool, pleasant
days, and nights cooler and more pleas
ant than the days. AS II suddenly
awakened to the fact that August had
been omitted and Observation-Disclosures,
the weather man started on September
TO make up for the omission, and has
been giving us a first-ciass article of
August weather for more than two
weeks.
With the mercury steadily registering
about 90 and the nights close and warm,
the lover OF midsummer who thought he
had been cheated out of his enjoyment of
long heated spell, has been inhls glory,
while the summer girl and the summer
beau who came home from the noun
tains under the impression that the sea-
son had about ended, are berating their
luck as they swelter in the extraordinary
heat of an extraordinary September.
Rain which has been promised by the
weather bureau as a relief. not only to
suffering humanity. but to the parched
ground, has not put in an appearance,
having been sde-tracked somewhere out
west. However, 1t isn't so very uncom-
Portable, for the heat has It's compensa-
tions. The season at the parks and other
nearby resorts ls prolonged. aud the
brilliant sunshine seems to be In har-
mony with the bright outlook for bust
ness and general all-round prosperity

however, our club "pulled togeth-

Taking it altogether it was good
game, and there was much en-
