DIR. Beard Lands Fine Position.

DR.. Archie Beard writes from Bos-
ton, Mass, to change the address of
his Tribune from that city to Mime
apolis, Mimi, where he expects to be
located for an indefinite period. DR..
Beard, who is a La Junta boy and
the son OF Mr.. and Mrs, John Beard
of this city, has been managing as
sistant of the Massachusetts, General
Hospital in Boston ever since he
graduated from the medical depart
ment of Harvard College. He has
finished his work there and goes to
Minneapolis as medical resident OF
the University Hospital. This hos
pital is connected with the Universi-
ty of Minnesota, and DR.. Beard will
teach in the University and also have
charge of 800 medical beds in the
hospital
The opportunities in the hospital
are very great. the university being
well endowed and unusually equip
ped for research work. DR.. Beard
will have charge of the diabetic cas-
es. and will make that branch Of
medical science his specially. Mime
apolis will probably be his perman-
ent home.
DR.. Beard concludes with the in
teresting observation that he finds
the Tribune a great help in keeping
and although opportunities some
times keep young men a long way
from their native heath they are al
ways interested and like to hear
from the old home town through the
medium of the official news dispen-
ser"

July Weather Report.


pect of change in weather condi-
tions, and all the indications are in
evidence that 1t will continue to be
hot and dry for an indefinite and
unknown period The oldest inhab-
itant has never had an experience
with the weather hereabouts similar
to that which has prevailed during
the past month While they have
had good showers all around us,
within a distance of five miles in
every direction, there has not been
enough moisture within the corpor-
ate limits OF La Junta during the
past month to wet your whistle, or
even moisten II. The records OF the
North La Junta weather reporter
show that we had seven showers of
more or less copiousness during the
month of July, and two traces of
rain, and that the grand total of pre-
cipitation for the month was seven
ty-one one hundredths of an inch.
The rainfall in July of last year
amounted to l57 inches, and for the
same month of 1914 the rainfall ag-
gregated a total of 4.Sl, the greatest
amount in single month for a peri
cd of several years. This was the
month when the dry farmers declar-
ed, with great vehemence, that this
country had been lied about for
years in order to keep prospective
there was really and truly more rain
fall in Colorado than there was In
Missouri. Now that we are having
typical Colorado summer they
have probably changed their mind
as 1t is said that all great men do,
whenever the occasion arises that
justifies such a procedure. One year
ago, during the month OF August.
the rainfall amounted to three inches.
and we may have q repeater this
year, but II we don't We might as
well give up hope as the total rain
fall for the last four months of the
year 1915 amounted to just little
over an inch. The total rainfall for
the first seven months of 1916 has
amounted In all to 5.47 inches, only
n little less than for the one month

qua has failed to bring us rain this
year as II did last year, and this is
probably one OF the reasons why the
outdoor university" is not as popu,
lar this year as II was last.
According to the North La Junta
Thermometer the highest tempera-
ture recorded was on July Sd. when
II registered 9s degrees. and there
were twenty-six days during the
month when temperature OF 90 de-
grees or over was In evidence. The
lowest temperature recorded was 5s
degrees on the morning OF July l4th.

At the fashion fete held at the Ritz
some time ago, the crinoline effect
was still the most accumulated fea-
ture; there were many dainty, airy
creations, all made with the bouffant
skirt, corded or lightly boned. The
more conservative afternoon and the
majority OF the street costumes, how
ever, are gradually narrowing down
in width. Many Of the street suits

STORY XVI.
The sushytaIIs At a Picnic.


Perhaps you think tits rather early
in the season to go on a picnic. Well,
perhaps it would be for children, but
you see, squirrels are different. They
don't mind the cold bit, for they
have nice fur coats that they never
have to take of. SO, though the win
ter had hardly gone, and though
spring was little late in arriving,
Billie and Johnnie Bushytail and Jen-
ME Chipmunk went to a picnic. Bully,
the frog, had asked them.
III you would like to 60 to = pic

is going to be one"
"Where!" asked Johnnie.
Down by my pond" answered Bull
". 1.-THE ducks are going to have
It, but that doesn't matter; you can
come Just as we'll as not"
But we're afraid Of water since we
were shipwrecked," remarked Jennie
Chipmunk, who had just finished do
ing the dishes, and had hung the tow
els up to dry.
"Oh, we'll, you don't need to go in
the water" said the frog. "The ducks
will do that. They are used to 1t"
SO Johnnie and Billie and Jennie
asked Grandma and Grandpa Light
foot II they might 60 to the picnic.
yes" grandpa said. If you are
careful not to take cold. A cold at
this time Of the year Is very bad in
deed. Oh. my, yes, and q mustard

So they went to the picnic, Johnnie
and Billie and Jennie Chipmunk, and
they took their lunch In q basket
Mrs. Wren made for them out OF
grass and straw They had, several
kinds Of nut sandwiches. some wild
cherry tea and some soft maple-tree
buds that were just swelling up.
Through the woods they went, the
two little boy squirrels and the or
phan chipmunk, laughing and shout
ing and having a fine time. Pretty
soon they came to the pond where the
picnic was to be held. And oh, what
lot of ducks were there! There
were big ducks and little ducks, and
white ducks and gray ducks, and
ducks of all colors And Mrs. Quack-
QuacK was there, also. She came
right up to Johnnie and Billie and
asked them:
well, are you all right since the
shipwreck?"
ooh, yes, thank you so much for
saving U.S." spoke up Jennie, who was
very polite indeed.
"Well," said Mrs Quack-Q uack,
"the picnic is about to begin, so
must leave you, but I will see you
