At the hour Of closing yesterday-that

the Weather Bureau. fourteen inches
Of rain had been registered since August
]. and, II you only knew il, fourteen
inches OF rain means something. The
least significant feature about II might
be said TO be that this is the record
breaker for rainfalIs in August around
these parts. The most significant might
also be said 10 De the estimate OF just
how much water has fallen on the head

TO the depth It penetrates into the
