ture Distinguished Season.

The summer, which officially came to
an end today, had for its chief charac-
teristics it's rainlessness and freedom

than fifteen inehessewhich Is about four
inches below normal. The fact that

gan at s o'clock that night and con-
tinued until nearly noon of the 18th.
The rainfall during this storm amount
ed to five inches, which brought the
total for August up to 7.72 inches, a
life-sayer for the summer.

three days of September has been nine

actly 3.19 inches, more than an inch
