Reported. tomatoes Are Scarce.

Inc COOL mornings OF the last udyS o.
: August and the first of September lead
e one to believe that autumn is near Wher
we arise early in the morning and see
Maltese cat on one gate post, black cal
on another gate post, and another cat Oi
E questionable nationality perched upon the
ridgepole of the milk house, all with
I their faces looking eastward and waiting
for the sun to come up and warm their
noses, we are almost sure autumn is nigh.
= The cats on the gate posts and the swal-
lows on the church steeple and telephone
wires are sure harbingers of early fall
The pleasant weather of the past few
days has been delightful, and more par
ticularly the mornings. From the swell
tering weather of August we emerge into
another and more delightful atmosphere.
Doubtless we all enjoy the change and
are thankful that possibly and presum-
ably the hottest part of the year is over.
Fodder saving is on. There are some
fields of corn near town that are being
topped and stripped in the good old way
! The squirrel season is on and the pros
pect is hattering for a good season of

nuts than last year, and. consequently,
more food for the bunnies
