MY GOODNESS! ISN'T IT HOT!


have to be pretty busy to keep our
thoughts from the weather and even
then we can't help thinking about
those big catches of fish which our
fortunate neiRhbors made when they
were at Merritt the other day. But
cay, MI. Hawkeye, don't you 1emem.
Der those hot days back there in Iowa
when you were blowing corn and
putting up Eay? Don't you remember
the remarks you used to make about
the weather and the mhn who was big
enough d-fool to stay IN such eli
mate? 1t doesn't seem so hot now as
it did then but there were lots and lots
of days when the mercury stood OIL tip
toe and peeped over the LOT mark.
And those hot suIrry days back Their
in Illinois, Mr.. Sucker, when you rode
about twelve or fifteen miles to town
ON that lumber wagon. The roads
weren't very good either; it had rsip-
ed few days before and. we'll, you
remember whst You SAID abolt ILLINOIS
roads about so many times every year.
1t was good corn W Gather, but say,
wasn't it hot9 Don't you remember
how you promised yourself that you
wouldn't spend another summer there?
And Mr. Kentuckian, what about
those sticky, sweaty days wnen you
tried to find the place in the door yarn
where the shade was the thickest and
because it wasn't any cooler there
than any other place you cussed sthe
niggers and the whole blamed country
and drank lots of somthing that had
cracked ice il it aud every one tastsd
Iise mole. Think Of those long warm
evenings when you slapped mosquitoes
and got maddar every minute and ut
last went and crawled into your bed
which felt as if it had been baked in
an oven q few minutes beforehand went
to sleep making sighting remarks
ABOUT the Lord and lis Judgment in
making Kentucky and these dad blast
cd mosquitoes
And Mr.. Californian, do you ever
think abe ut those mornings down in
the Sacramento valley when you used
to get up real early and shut all the
windows to keep what you called the
cool night air in the house and the
hot plast from the desert OUT? DO
you fondly think OF those long strips
Of puiverised adobe whioh!by courtesy
You called roads, and which rose mp
at the slightest provocation and settled
on everything without regard to rank
or sex. OF course you don't think
now about how wiley had the malaria
and Johnnie had the malaria and the
doctor ga i'd it you didn't get out the
baby would have it and the next
morning You looked in the glass and
saw that your face was getting yellow
and you felt the chills and fever com
ing on. Do you remember how yon
went ont and looked at the thermome-
fef which was almost bursting itself
trying to get over the III mark, aud
then looked at Yourself with some
thing like awe that anyone should at.
temp6 to live in such a climate?
And Mr.. Man from Missouri. We
can't show you thing in the hor
weather line. And Mr.. Man from
Kansas and from North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washing
ton d. G, and about forty four other
places don It all these remarks you hear
eyerv day about the weather have
familiar sound? Do you think the
people of Wenatchee have learned any
new expressions about hct weather?
Now on the level, aren't these the
same old things they said and that yor
