WITH THE BREAKING OF day
yesterday morning, one Of the finest
rains that has ever fallen in this part
Of Oklahoma began to sob down upon
the earth. There was nothing to it
but rain, and it made an attempt to
exceed the speed limint in raining. In
little over one hour, eighty-two
hundredths of an inch of moisture
had fallen. The entire country Of
Tulsa, practically was visited, as were
surrounding counties by the rain
storm, which was accompanied by but
little wind.

THE OLDEST INHABITANT is
authority for the remark that this is
the first spring season in that part
of oklahoma in many years that
typical March wind has blown. March
wind blew for several days in Febru-
ary, although at that time it was not
easily recognized as such, but there
have been several days since the first
Of March that the genuine article has
been thrust upon the communitl. Sew
en- days from today will the sun "cross
the line" and Spring will officially
have been ushered in. 1t is then that
the equinoXinal storms are scheduled
to put in appearance, according to the
almanac readers, who have also pre-
dicted snow for tomorrow.

THERE WAS SOME WIND in and
around Tulsa yesterday. 1t blew and
1t blew and it blew, straight from the
southwest out of the Texas Panhandle
country. and 1t warped up the skin
on a fellows face like banana peel
withering in the sun. The woods
soughed like soughergette trying to
throw straight, and it was not untl
night fall came to quiet them that
the winds came down from their high
horse and assumed a peace such az
the Bulgarians are fighting for. Prac-
tically all day the temperature re-
mained above the 60-degree mark,
and the lowest mark was but so de-
grees. This is a little bit early for
cyclones in oklahoma, the spring crop
just now being planted, but the cy
clone harvest is being reaped in
Louisiana and Texas, each Of which
states were yesterday visited by dam
aging cyclone winds.
