UNUSUAL HOT
WAVE OVER
ENTIRE NATION

The people in Audrain county ara
not the only ones who have been suf-
fering from extreme heat this past
few weeks. The condition is both
world wide The extreme heat in the
northern part of this country is said
to be killing the fishes in the lakes,
while reports from Switzerland state
the heat there has started unusual
movements in the glaciers which
threaten the lives of tourists.
T. J. J. See, U. S. astronomer, says
the present heat downpour is due to
meteors on the sun. In Lake Mich
igan sea gulls are reported to be seek
ing relief from the excessive temper
ature by migrating to the center of
the lake. Unlike June 1921 June 1903
was the coolest in years in Audrain
and for 21 days during that month the
highest temperature was 10 degrees.
Thursday was cooler here because of
heavy rains at Moberly and also a
light rain south of Mexico in Gala
way county. In England there has
been no rain fall for practically three
months.
One of the warmest July's in the
history of Audrain county was that
of 1901 with an average of 81 degrees
for the month. The average rainfall
for July in Mexico for 25 years was
4.19 inches. The greatest July preci-
pitation on record for the county was
9.05 inches in 1892 ard the smallest
was 0.03 Of an inch in July 1886.
The average number of clear days
for July in Audrain is Is. The pre-
vailing winds for this month have
been for the most part from the
southwest.

STATE ROAD
MAP CHANGED
AGAINST US

JEFFERSON CITY, July 15.-A
number of changes have been made
by the State Highway commission on
the state road system in many parts.
New routes have been selected and
additional routes provided as a re-
suit of the personal interest shown be-
fore the commission by representa-
tives of counties and highways. None
of the changes made touch Audrain
county.
However a change which has been
made in the arrangement of the So
called airline" route across the state
have been made and in them Audrain
county is entirely left out. This
change has to do with the Golden Belt
route, which passes through Audrair
as does the orth State highway.

! designation Of 4 new state road tirg
Saline, Lafayette and Jackson coun
tics, which viii provide an air line
route from Kansas City to st. Louis

two cities.
From Glasgow, on the north bank Of
the Missouri River in Howard County
the new state road follows the Ole
Trails route through Gillian anC
Slater to Marshall. From there tht
Golden Belt road is followed, passing
through Higginsville and Oak Grow,
into Kansas iCty. This road has beel
sought by Lafayette County farmer
and business men to furnish a mail
artery through the south central par
of the county. The Old Trails roa'
through Lexington remains part o
The state system.
Representative Hams of Salin
County, said that money will be avail
able to build bridge across the Mis-
souri, River at Glasgow.
