The menacing clouds that have
~overhung the heavens for the past
week. have wrought destruction to
motorists. ranches and roads. Cloud
bursts in different sections are re-
ported almost daily and one scarcely
knows whether to start out in an
automobile or a motor boat. We
cave town in a perfectly good. clean
car, with dry. dusty roads stretching
away ahead Of us. We return in the
wee sma' hours OF the morning. mud
spattered. b~edraggled and nerve
racked from skidding our way
through unexpected mud holes that
resemble small lakes and our car
looks like a war tank. Nevertheless
we've had a glorious time, we've
swallowed more dir with our picnic
luncheon than any crawling babe
would ever pick up, we've been bitten
by mosquitoes and chased flies from
u grub. u coffee was rank with
smoke from u bon fire. the glass Of
sugar turned out to be flour, the
cream was spilled over the cookies,
the fish wouldn't bite and we forgot
to bring the bacon, but everybody
grinned and said it was perfectly all
right. We didn't care for fish and we
liked our coffee black ct was better
for our tummies anyway we re-
placed h hampers. clambored into
II cars and skidded away toward
home. The chains were hanging in
h garage ret on ering from the last
outing. We PIT up the curtains so
we could not look at the next skid.
We sat back under our blankets and
felt sorry for the driver, who occa-
sionally gave vent to his bruised and
battered feelings by saying things.
When we have wiggled our way
through Coyote Springs Canon and
the lights of the city glimmer be-
fore us and a good old Hanna breeze
slaps us square in the face-well, we
begin to plan our outing for the next
weekend.
A cloudburst sending a wall of
water ter to twelve feet in height,
swept down over the home of James

day, carrying away the dwelling
house., barns. chicken houses, fences
and completely ruined the garden
and hay. The family were in the
house at the time the storm broke
and suddenly say the huge wave de-
scending on them, they ran for safety
to a nearby knoll. undoubtedly saw
ing their lives by the act. Mr.. Case
was In Hanna Monday and gave a
most graphic description OF the cloud
burst. All his household goods were
destroyed and his loss will amount
to thousands Of dollars.
The first session Of the Episcopal
