model Of regularity which never

when 1t failed to give FORTH its usual

varying from three hours to scvcra:
months. Data OH tho subject have

Even today there are certain irrcgu
lnriticS of the sun that science cannot
altogether account for. These arc the
so called sun spots-enorlnous dark
splotches which appear from time To
time on the solar disk and which are
supposed to have great influence on
the atmospheric conditions of the
earth. Scientists have long studied
these phenomena. but neither their ex.
tent nor periodicity has ever been de-
termined.

j. MacAllister, Scion
Springs Wis. Aug. II,
| The Times: Through your
columns | am glad to write to
my Mo. Valley friends in and
out of the Presbyterian church,
This is a very pleasant place
for a summer outing. The
Lake is about 6 miles long and
from a half to three quarters
wide. 1t is we'll wooded all a.
round, probably a hundred cot
tsges are scattered along the
shore, most of them on the
western side, as that is nearest
the village and railroad station.
There is a pretty little Island
i'm the middle Of the Lake to-
ward the southern end. Here
every variety of trees grow
which is to be found on the
mainland, Pines are chef a.
mong these, Norway Pines tall
and handsome, White Pines
shorter but very graceful, Jack
Pines standing like soldiers in
the ranks. On the Island
there is a we'll built, good sized
log cottage which formerly
gave comfortable shelter to
some dweller who wished to be
"far from the maddening crowd
but has evidently for some sea
SONS been unoccupied. Every
window has been broken INFO
small fragments and every
article of furniture been car
ried off, except a good set of
bed springs. Toe people who
own cottages on the Lake shore
asi1e from local real estate
people, are mainly from Duluth
and Superior, some are from
Hudson. These come season
after season and evidently
greatly enjoy the environment.
There are several families from
Sioux Falls, and quite a number
from Iowa. The Iowa folks
hal a picnic a few days ago
after our arrival. This was
held in a fine park of a grand
group Of Norway Pines, we
spent several hours together

as Iowa cooks can produce and
after story and song, having
been warned by thunder that
rain was coming, we went our
various ways by path and boat
to our cottages. Among those
present were Mr.. and Mrs. B. j

a sister of Mrs. Moore and her
daughter, from Grinell, a broth

who resides near Solon Springs

found Mr.. Ross contented and
happy. He has quite a piece of

the towns or cities where en-

Rev. Mr.. Barber a former pas

on a claim. His father and
mother are with him. He looked

on the claim and other improve
ments. He told me he had
worked as a motor man in Du-
luth during the winter. While
sympathizing with those pion-
eer people one could not but
admire their courage for the
lonely life and their enterprise
and energy. The hopes which
they entertain that some day all
that country will be settled and
towns spring up and then their
claims will be valuable. | GER

father lives with her, he is

is ingenious in many ways that
mean comfort. They have a
good house and quite a crop
growing. After dinner we
drove to school house where
a few Christian people were
gathered for Sunday school.
Encouraged them in their good
work in pressing upon them
the possibilities that might lie
concealed in even a few boys
and girls. | never met people
who seemed more grateful for
words of cheer than they were.
Summer visitors might do
much in this way and encour-
age those who are building up
our country. Yesterday after
dinner we all went in bathing
That was one of our warmest
days and the Lake was a real
pleasure. Later our neighbor
Mr.. Bell from Hudson, Wis.
who owns a fine launch took us
out for trip on the Lake.
There were some friends from
Grlnell and Spencer on board.
We sailed all around the Lake
and around the Island enjoying
it greatly. We have wished
many times as we read of the
hot weather in Ia, that our
friends were up here with us to
enjoy cool air and delightful
water. Our cottage is on the
Lake shore and we have the use
of a good boat during our stay,
we all enjoy this. Many come
here because of freedom from
hay fever in this region, and of
course to escape from the heat
of the town and country. We
should have Mo. Valley colony
next summer. | would not
like it as a winter locality.
There was ice on the Lake on
the 9th of last May and a kill
ing frost on the 22nd of Aug.
With the sincerest of good
wishes for all our friends in
the Valley.
Believe me yours Truly,
John MacAllister.
