The weather is a little warm,
but the bicycle is as popular as

warmer in Winter and cooler in
Summer
HOME grown waterme Ions
have made their appearance on
this market, but the price is so
high they do motor rather we
do not think they would taste
good.
COMPLAINT has been made
that the city does not remove
garbage as often as it should in
some instances. This is a very
serious complaint just at this
time and the matter should be
looked into.

their appearance. Pears, too, are
ripe, and watermelons, peaches,

our wonderful country. A Cham

EXCURSIONS are abundant
these Summer days. They lack
only one thing to make them
complete-watermelons. Excurs
sions and watermelons seem to
go together. Only a few days
more and our delicious home
grown melons in all their juicy
ness and sweetness will be abun>
dant.
