A RAINY SUNNI Err.

Evidently this section OF the cOun
try is not alone in its suffering from
a superabundance of rain. The fol
lowing is from Golfers Weekly:
Our umbrella hand is getting cal
loused again; the score board detains
no Office boy; outdoor games and
plays are at a hOarse discount, and
all our golfing friends are snuffling
in their speech. Since it rained on
this or that saints day, must it rain
forty other days and nights? The
talk one hears about the war is
gloomier for these lowering clouds
and fiercer for the flashes that split
them. No wonder the wise fathers
put their elections in the fall, when
crops are gathered and roads are
sometimes dry. No administration
that ever blessed our country could
stand up for spring campaign un'
der the burden of long rain. Glass
hatred is fostered by these swishing
automobiles which know not the just
from the unjust. This is the real
sort OF season for alternating The
cold OF winter braces the nerves and
bites one into action. but just try to
wake child in time for early break,
fast some warm misted morning and
note the difference-that is. If you
get up early enough yourself. There's
real subject for debate in the ques-
ton whether a lazy summer rain is
brewster than bees in clover. 1t
should be argued before a jury OF dor
mice and the victor crowned with
blue cornflowers dropping full of dew.
With these rain wreathes down the
sky, and the greenness OF growth
everywhere, and the soft airs healing
touch upon it-surely there is gentle
ness now at the very heart of things,
and summer herself is smiling upon
US through the clouds"
