Remedy for Drouths
Celebrations are cynical!y supposed
to bring rain. So, of course, the jux-
Imposition of market day. and two
such large and popular picncis as the
Methodist and Presbyterian Sunday
schools brought a good, heavy rain
Tuesday evening.
Since this is an almost sure rem
edy for drouths (not prohibition dry
spells), let's plan some more picnlcs.

to turn his Victory bonds into oil
stock, how to keep the carbon out of
his automobile, and how to popular
ize himself in turn with possible GUS
toners by cluttering up their NOR
ming correspondence with few
more irritating circulars.
