June came very nearly breaking
the local record for a combination of
warm. wet weather as temperatures
averaged higher than in any June in
three years time and there was more
rain than this month has experienced
since 1915, according to the detailed
summary of the weather bureau.
There were no unusually high or low
temperatures, but an almost I'M
broken succession of abnormally
warm days prevailed, some of which
the latter part of the month were
quite sultry on account of the great
amount of moisture in the air. The
highest recorded was "a degrees on
the 2Sth and the lowest 55 degrees on
the 9Th.
The total rainfall was $50 inches
which was distributed over thirteen
days of the month, with one period
from the 21st to the 9th, inclusive
with seven successive days with meas
ureable rainfall, record that has not
been exceeded in the past ten years.
The heaviest 24-hour amount was
3.57 inches on. the 18th, which is the
greatest downpour in more than two
years time.
There was just about the average
amount of sunshine, with eight days
clear, eleven partly cloudy and eleven
cloudy.
The month was ideal for growing
crops of all kinds, especially corn.
Much of the wheat was cut before
the rains the last ten days and the
first crop of alfalfa was secured, but
damaged considerably by rains.

MOVIE SHOW BY GIRL SCOUTS
Proceeds VIII Be Used in Furnishing
Summer Camp at Vinewood.

Summer Camp at Vinewood.
Topeka Girl Scouts want Topekans
to be good scouts and back them in
their latert enterprise. This is the
announcement made by Miss Mary
Mcguire of the scout council. The
girls want one hundred per cent at
tendance at their summer camp
which starts at Vinewood Tuesday
and continues all next week. To at
tain that record the girls need more
funds.
To get the needed funds the girls
are putting on a Saturday morning
movie show at the Orpheum theater.
For this program they have, with the
assistance of G. L. Hooper. manager,
Charles Rays best productions. In
addition they will show a Burton
Holmes travelogue. The show will
start at 1890 o'clock and will last I'M
til noon.
During the past winter the Girl
Scouts have been selling candy and
doing other work to get together suf-
ficient funds to make the camp at
Vinewood a certainty. Now they
want to make it possible far every
girl scout to attend. For financial
reasons, some will be unable to do
this unless an extra sum is raised
from the profits on the movie show.
Hooper has turned over the
Orpheum theater to the scouts free
of charge and is donating his services
toward making it a success. ALI the
proceeds of the show go to the Girl
Scout camp fund and will be distrib-
uted equally among the captains of
the various Topeka scout troops.

Jefferson in Misfortune,

When Thomas Jefferson retired from
the presidency and returned to Month
cello he was much in debt, though at
the time the fact was not know to
most of his friends. He emuated the
example of Washington by trying. to
be farmer, but was so far unsuccess-
full that each year he ran more behind
financially. In the meantime he was
keeping open house, entertaining Law
ishly and sometimes having as many
as fifty guests.
AT length his affairs got into such
bad shape that he was compelled to
ask congress to buy his library and
historical papers, which were thereup-
on sold to the nation for $4,000.
These books and papers now form one
of the most valuable possessions Of
the library of congress. The money
tided Jefferson over for while, but
he was bankrupt when he died, II
years after his departure from the
White House. To the day of his death
he took an active interest in public
affairs. He established the Univer-
sity Of Virginia, serving as its first
provost, and personally superintended
the erection of its buildings.
