Girls called Viola should be too
proud Of that distinction to use either
Of the pet terms, for Viola is the most
universal of names, both In modern
times and in antiquity. 1t is taken, OF
course, from the flower, which is viola
even in Sanscrit, the Oldest and most
primitive of Languages. However,
this flower is so small and retiring as
to become synonymous with modesty
According to Greek legend, the Viola
is 1.-The fair daughter OF Ajaxs blood"
having sprung from the earth as the
hero's life-fluid poured forth to
purple flood' Violets were very nu-
merous in ancient Hellas, and even to-
day Athens Is known as the Violet
Crowned City, as Paris is the "City OF
Lilies" only the flower referred to IN
the Paris title is pun on the word
Louis, pronounced Lys In patois and
Lys is French for Lii.
Both here and in England Yolante
is not unfrequently adopted by Violas
of a romatic turn of mind. but the
name rarely figures in the birth regis
ters, which shows that the girl was re-
christened by herself or others as she
grew up to be fair representative OF
the ambitious title, for Yolante Is a
title rather than name, the first syl-
liable being evidently contraction OF
Viola, and the last standing for "land,"
which the old Saxons spelled with t.
Naturally the violet is the emblem

OF
AN INCH RAINFALL
THAT coPIoUs AMOUNT OF PRE-
cIPITATIoN IN oTTUMwA DUR
ING MONTH or JUNE,

Fourteen ona-hundredths Of an inch
of rain, practically one.seventh of the
smallest unit Of measure, was the pre-
cipitation in the city Of Ottumwa dur
ing the month Of June. There have
only been several sprinkles, little
tantalizing shadows Of rain that have
been mere aggravation when the
precious sky water has been so much
needed to refresh and give new life to
the scorching and whitening fields OF
the farmers. In the category of wealth
er obseratories they were not
enough to be placed even under the
head of traces" On June 16 about IL
p. m. the only rain of the month com.
menced and fell intermittently until
almost daylight the next morning and
the register at the fire station IN
charge OF Voluntary Weather Observer
Charles Sloan showed that when the
final drops reached the earth, that the
average precipitation was fourteen
OF. e-hundredths of an inch. It may be
looked upon as mere drop IN the
bucket but it was invaluable to the
crops. Not that it caused them to
shoot up and grow but Is was preser-
vative of life. 1t gave the fields sufh-
cient moisture to gain strength for the
remainder of the dry spell which has
not yet reached an end.
This past month has been the hot
test June that Ottumwa has experien-
ced for many years. The hottest day
June 10, showed the mercury to stand
at 1O3 degrees. Nine days found the
thermometers registering 100 or over
and only seven were below 80 degrees.
Weather Man Sloan's observations
also show that there were, nineteen
fair days and eleven clear days, leav-
ing no room whatever for bad days.
N, ax s Chieago's Hottest.
Chicago, July This has been the
hottest June this city has ever known.
The average temperature was 72.s,
which is 6 degrees above the normal.
Seventeen years ago, the June average
was TIA. This month the maximum
temperature was 9S.5 officially but on
several days the mercury at the street
level registered 100 degrees or more
There were many deaths and hundreds
of prostrations.
