The hot weather of yesterday called
swimmers to the river by crowds, and
the season is fully on. 1t is presumed
that a greater part of the smaller boys
go into the water without the folks at
home knowing anything about it, I'M
less the pride of the family happens
to go home with his shirts ON hind
side before. or his hair wet. 1t is very
seldom that a mother will .allow her
son to go swimming, and the result is
that by the time that the fond parent
discovers that the yOungster goes
swimming in the river, he has been
a master of the art for some time.
There is not as much danger of drown
ing where the boys battle, in Angus
ia. as there is of getting backs sun
burned by staying around two long
without their clothes on.
