FALL

HERE

Fall weather rushed into Walla Wal

coutermentS of dust and warmth out

come rain of the season to quench the
thirst of parched fields. Dust disap-

and the wind blowing in fifth gusts only
aCded to the general impression that
Summer had indeed taken fight.
To most the rain came as the signal

stood hesitatingly in doorways and

initial plunge into that dampening ele-
laent known in days gone by as rain.
1t all looked so wet yet withal SO well
come however, that it didn't take very
long for such to make up their minds
to pull their hats determinedly down
and brave the downpour.

saw the mercury chased down from the
heights it has occupied for the past
summer, and realized that perhaps af-
Ter all he'd make up that $50 deficiency

And after all the rain was welcome

couldn't help but smile and thank the
weatherman that he'd had the grace
TO hold back this dampness until har-
vest was out of the way. With most Of
the grain in the inland empire under
cover the present rain will undoubted-
ly be of untold benefit to agricultural
conditions.
