A HOT WAVE is PREDICTED
Warmest Weather of Summer is Elk
pected This Week.

Rock Island may prepare for a hot
week. The mercury has been high in
the northwest and the wave of heat is
now fairly upon use. 1t was 104 de-
grees at Pierre, n. D., last night, and
nearly as high all over the area af-
fected by the hot wave. There is no
reason to think this will be moderated
when the hot wave strikes Rock ISL
and. and if the outlook last night is a
guide the hottest weather of the sum
mer will be experienced.
