Why We Swelter.

Three natural sources combined to
cause the heat wave which was holding
the nation in it's grip-the sun, the
earth and the southeast wind!
The hot rays of the sun heat up the
earth during the day.
The earth, absorbing this heat, gives
up some OF it in the night.
But when dawn of the next day
comes, Mother Earth finds she still has
some of the heat she got from the sun
the day before. The earth cannot ra-
date heat as fast as it absorbs it.
The earth continues to give off heat
while it absorbs more from the sun.
This goes on day after day, the earth's
heat adding to that of the sun.
Bermuda was the center of an area
of heavy air-the so-called Bermuda
high" Because of its weight, the air
moves along the ground, gaining heat
as it comes up from the southeast.
The air is so hot by the time it
reaches the north, it rises and returns,
thus making circuit.
This circuit will keep on, the weather
bureau reports, until the Bermuda
high" moves. out to sea. This will give
the winds from the northwest chance
to sweep over the country and cool us
off,

MERLE OLNEY MILLER.

Merle Olney Miller, second son of u.
G. and Grace Lumm Miller, was born
in Fulton township, May IA, 1895. Here
nearly all his life has been spent, TAX
ing great interest in the farm, al
ways ready to do his share of the work
with a ready will. With Merle it was
always "come on boys" taking the
lead at the hardest tasks and one of
the last to leave until it was finished.
He never failed to help friend or
neighbor in need or share his last cent
with those less fortunate than himself.
His good nature and happy disposition
made him friends wherever he went,
and to say he will be greatly missed is
but putting it mildly.
Merle has usually enjoyed the best
of health until about four weeks ago
and week later went to the sanitar
ium at Madison for treatment. Here
he underwent an operation which great
ly relieved his sufferings. Although
looking forward to again returning
home, his mind was on the better things
in life, saying to his mother, who was
constantly with him, eve will go to
church every Sunday when we get
home" He was full of courage and
interest in life until the last.
All that medical aid and loving hands
could do was of no avail and Merle fell
asleep Saturday afternoon, July 10Th,
at the age of 81 years, months and Is
days.
He leaves to mourn his going his
father and mother, sister and two
brothers, two aged grandmothers, be-
sides many other relatives and friends.
CANCELS of life and death alike are his;
Without his leave they pass no thresh-
old DER;
Who, then, would wish or dare, be.

Funeral services were held Monday

The T. A. & r. Picnic.

While the attendance at the 34th an
nual picnic of the T. A. & B. society
Wednesday was hardly up to that of
some former years, about 1000 people
were present and were generally salts
fed with the program given. The ball
game in the morning between Hillside
and Edgerton, however, proved rather
tame affair, resulting in a score of II
to in favor of the home team. The
race program attracted fine field of
horses, especially in the free for all
class, and some excellent time was
made on slow track. The following
