1t is unusual in this dry summer
to be caught in rain storm that
halted traffic for several hours and
sent gushing torrents Of water
across the roadway, but that's the
experience of Mr.. and Mrs. G. r.
Easton on their return to this city
last weekend. Mr.. and Mrs. East
on and family were returning last
Thursday from a ten day trip that
took them as far west as the
Colorado border, through Iowa and
Nebraska. Last Thursday in Le-
Mars, Iowa, heat made driving diff
ficult, for the temperature stood
at no degrees until o'clock in the
afternoon. Huge, threatening banks
of clouds advanced swiftly
from the southwest accompanied
by highwinds. Then like buckets
dumped at once the rain came.
For three hours it poured on the
sweltering countryside. In its wake
torrents rushed wildly across road
ways, sometimes to a depth Of six
or eight feet. All traffic was halted
for about three hours. AS far
north as Pipestone the heavy rains
had come. Mr.. Easton said that
the great volume of water did not
do as much good as the gentle
paters this community received.
It came in such great quantities
that it ran off before 1t could soak
into a parched earth. Mr.. and
Mrs. Easton returned to this city
