Summer Is Due To
Arrive Shortly
After Noon Today

Summer VIII be here imme-
diately after dinner--that is to
say, the noon dinner ike they
have out on the farm-or is it

The man whose rubber heels
melted and stuck him to the
pavement last Sunday was the
first to harbor the suspicion that
summer was in the offing. as
harbor master might say. Since
then, the evidence has been Gu
mulative.
Any one who will refer to his
almanac will find that Summer is
due to arrive June %, IL hours
and 27 minutes. Therefore, be-
fore the / o'clock whistle blows
today, the long g-expected, voluptu-
Gus season will be with us.
The coming of Summer also
means the longest day Of the
year. From sunrise TO sunset
will be IA hours and 10 minutes.
Old Sol has been getting out of
bed at 4:52 a. m, since June 16.
but it was not until yesterday
that he took to putting off his
bedtime until I'll p. m. Today
is the longest in only what might
be termed a theoretical sense.
The group of days, from June 81
to %. are all of the same duration
as measured in minutes. 1t takes
a split second watch to differ
entiate in this group.
After next Sunday, minute
will be clipped off from the day

til almost before we realize it,

OVERTHROW OF PRES.
.OBRECON OF MEXICO
DECLARED To Be NEAR
Bloodless Revolution Is
Predicted By Phoenician
With Gen. Felix Diaz
The Temporary Presi-
dent

That there will be another revo-
ln+ion and a successful one in Mexico
is the prediction of a Phoenician
who has recently returned from an
eastern trip after meeting many per-
sons. Mexican and Americans, who
are concerned in it. 1t is his belief
that it will be practically bloodiess
revolution and that General Felix
Diaz Will be established as proVl-
sional president in Mexico City not
later than next September.
IT is not expected that there VIII
be serious fighting except in the VI
scinity OF the capital, and it is the
belief of this gentleman that Pres
ident Obregon will not offer Wig
orous resistance.
The revolution will be different
from any previous one in that the
great middle class which has held
itself aloof from all previous revolu-
tions viii join with the upper class

lion of 1857 which afforded protec-
lion TO the lives and property of both

IS expected that de la Barra will be

plished Immediately is set out in a
