 The weather was very disappoint- ing yesterday for people who had plans in the works for trolley rides and trips through the country wheth- CT afoot or in vehicles. It rained all day, so hard at times that people got soaked who were not out over a few minutes. It kept at it all night and showed no signs of abating when folks woke up this morning. The prophets claim that we will have no fine weather until after June 20 and there is nothing about getting it then either. As the joker said. looks now as if the summer will be over before it comes at all. But 1t is not wise to give up too soon. The warm weather is low in getting around, but prob- ably after 1t shows up it may finger longer than usual and in this way make up in the fall for what 1t de. prived Us of in the spring.
