THE DO e. ID A Y S

The dog days are a period which IL
given TO the human race every sum-
mer in order that man may have u
forctaste of what is in store for the
sinner. This period continues for
forty days and nights, starting with
July and ending with August II, by
which time everybody is reduced to
repentance and the wearing of sheer
tissue underclothes.
The annual visitation Of the dog
days is due entirely to the action Of
Sirius, the dog-star, which encourages
the sun to produce more heat than at
any other time Of the year. If there
were some way to suppress Sirius by
act of congress and prevent him from
melting the sun to murder. more peo-
pie would remain at home during July
and August. instead of cantcring off
to some S30-a-day summer resort and
idling away precious hours which could

ably is some good reason why Sirius

touring season and destroy the ha2pi-
ness and inner tubes of inoffensive PEG
pie, but science has never discovered
what it is
Before condcmning dog days, how
ever, we should remember that without
them the corn crop would be n bigger

the sun during the dog days may be

height of eleven feet and sprout long

While the weather this week gives
no indications of approaching fall and
closed ears on the local trolley road the
calendar shows that it will not be
many weeks before riding on open
trolley cars will be uncomfortable.
From all over the country is heard
the tale of belated shipments of or
ders and the tale of inability of con
Germs to fill orders. The Twin State
Gas & Electric Co. is, therefore. in IA
serious prcdicament. In June. when
the new superintendent of the Twin
State company, ii. l.. Odds, was in
town. he promised new closed car to
meet the order of the public service
commission by fall. This week, when
in town, he said in reply to a ques-
ton about the new ear, that the officers
of the company had hunted high and
low for Il suitable conveyance within
| the means Of the company and as vet
! had been unable to locate one. On two
! different occasions Mr.. Odds has said
| that the company does not feel it can
afford to place Il new ear on the road
/ but is seeking second hand one that
can be put in tirst-class condition. If
it takes much more time to get one,
and anywhere near the time to put it
! in condition that it did the last one
bought, it will of necessity be a very
late fan if Mr.. Olds succeeds in max.
ing good his promise.
