Yes, quit talking back to your wife. 0:0 A HOT SUMMER Are we in for scorching summer'.' July's sample hot days make it ap pear so. Put last winter was mild. And a mild winter usually is followed by a cool summer, for nature has a way of evening up the yearly tempera ture. Sometimes she skips a year o two. but in the long run cool sum mers follow mild winters and hot summers follow cold winters. In the last 140 years, the coun try's yearly temperature has aver aged 4'J degrees. Taking it by dec ades, it Jia.s never varied as much a; two degrees from that average. The coldest July on record was in lSlfi. the famous year when snow 1-11 in the Northern states every month. The hottest Julys were in 17M) 'and 177 . I The coldest January was in 1 S T 7 and the coldest March was in 1S8.". 1 The three warmest decades were ' those ended in 1&00. 1S10 and 1 :-'. , The coldest decade followed the se cond hottest. These figures, from the Weather llureau, lend support to the old men in Plattsmouth who claim that "wo 'don't have the winters we u-ed 10." Maybe they're right. but the Weather Pureau .says that there nev er is any permanent change in avir age yearly temperature. You scowl at the thermomcto. and wonder whether it's going to get hot or cool. Trobably the. cave man wondered likewise. It was curiosity about the wcati. cr that made Gblileo invent the titer momctor in loOH. He knew exactly how much probably so he could boast to his grandchildren that he'd "passed through wore weather than this." (Jalileo- curiosity about the weath er was shared by his pupil. Torri t ell t. who invented the barometer, in 1643. yimilar curiosity I'i years later caused the Grand Duke of Tuscany to found the first weather bureau. He distributed weather-vanes, ther mometers and barometers to menka all over Italy, aud told them to send their observations to him by courier so he could determine whether weath er is as fickle in one town as an other. At all times we curse the weather . and the climate, yet mother nature has in her storehouse on earth ev ery sort of climate and weather you could desire. The moistcst town is Cherrapon gee, India. Its rainfall averages 4aS inches a year and one time rose to 905 inches. Probably the Cherrapon gee people pray for draught at the very time farmers around Platts mouth are praying for rain. The coldest place in the world is the village of Verkhoyanski. in far northern Siberia. That town never has any summer and sometimes the thermometer registers SO below zero. No doubt they'd trade for some of these hot days in Plattsmouth. We're willing. Aren't you? -:o:- CHICAGO TO BECOME ELK HEADQUARTERS Grand Lodge Approves New $2,500, 000 Structure There Conven tion to Atlajitic City. I,os Angeles. July la. New fields of fertile promise came within view of the antlered herd tonight when the grand lodge officers of the Bene volent and Protective Order of Elks completed a session here that pro vided for Elkdom a national head quarters and a national publication. Chicago was selected for the nation al headquarters and plans approved for a monumental structure to house the heart of the lodge at a cost of $2,T0.000. Arrangements were set in motion to produce within nine months, a monthly publication en titled "The Elks Magazine." to be issued from Chicago. Omaha, which had some little fol lowing among lodges of the middle west, as a suitable location for the new- national headquarters and as a contender for the 1922 convention, permitted both to be settled without firing a single gun in their campaign for recognition. The next conven tion will be held in Atlantic City. The herd, represented by some r0. ourt delegates disported itself, while its leaders worked, in monster barbe ques after watching its most highly trained members execute spectacular drills in a contest that won for the Zouaves, of Jackson, Mich., the na tional championship among Elks for drill work. The Salt Lake team was second and San Francisco third. Tomorrow will mark the close of the grand lodge sessions, when of ficers for the ensuing year will be in stalled and final reports, including the budget for the coming year, will be read and acted upon. And the herd will step out with antlers high tomor row, for this is the one great exhibi tion day in Elkdom. the day of the grand lodge reunion parade. It will, in fact, be a day of pageantry for in the evening a second spectacle will be presented - a motion picture elec trical pageant, conceived by the ci nema producers of Southern Califor nia for the Elks. Three days of playtime will follow in further parades, aerial tourna ments and varied programs of pleas ure events for bringing to a close the fifty-seventh annual gathering of Elkdom. FEELING SOMEWHAT IMPROVED rather W. S. Leete. rector of St Luke's church of this city, who has for t lie past few weeks been suffer ing from a severe attack of inflam atory rheumatism, was in the city today and is feeling somewhat bet ter altho he still feels the effect of the attack and which has left his left hand and arm quite stiff and sore. Father Leete is staying in Omaha in charge of the St. Barnabas parish in that city during the absence of the rector. Father Lloyd B. Holds aple. who is on missionary work in Serbia and will remain there until the return of Father Holdsaple and in the work of the two parishes as well as his illness the genial rector has had a rather stiff job.

The American Legion post here i to conduct a "clean-up" membership drive next week. Although more than seventy-five per cent of the ex service men in the community belong to the post, the officers say they will not be content until a state of 100 per cent efficiency is reached. Co-incident with the local drive, posts all over the state will scour their respective territories for new members. The drive will start Mon day morning, the third anniversary of the beginning of the Meuse-Ar-gonne push that netted such wonder ful results for the allied cause aud played no small part in the bring ing to an early close the great world war. The Nebraska department is nov fourth in the list of states approach ing 100 per cent membership, all of the three now leading having con ducted their mid-summer drives, and it is claimed that if each post in the state turns in four members. Nebras ka can live up to the slogan. "First at Kansas City." when time for the big convention rolls around in Oc tober. The Legion is the most rep resentative of all ex-service men's or ganizations and it should be a mat ter of but a short time until it at tains 100 per cent membership over the entire country. MEXICO QUESTIONS LA F0LLETTE MOTIVES Mexico City, July 13. Resolutions expressing a vote of thanks by the Mexican senate to United Staes Sen ator La Follette for his action in op posing military operations against Mexico without the express authority of Congress were voted down last night in the senate when the reso lutions were reconsidered. The senate met in secret session and, according to LI Universal, de cided that the senator's utterances against military aggression "were not. inspired by regard for Mexico, but political motives." It was said by several senators on Monday night that a message of felicitation was already underway to Senator La Follette. It now appears that the draft of a note to the sen ator was signed by only twenty-six members of the upper house of the Mexican congress, and had not been formally adopted by that body. L00KING OVER WORK This morning E. Flynn. general superintendent of the Burlington lines west of the river. N. C. Allen superintendent of the Omaha divis ion and Mr. Newton of the general offices at Chicago, were at the scene of the recent threatened break in the rip rapping on the east side of the Missouri River inspecting the work. Mr. Allen has devoted a great deal of his personal attention to the checking of the washing of the river and has been very successful in stop ing what threatened to be a most serious break in the protecting banks of the river. Mr. Flynn and Mr. New ton departed later for Nebraska City and from there to Rulo where more or less trouble has been experienced in handling the flood conditions of the Missouri. HEAVY WIND STORM The residents south of this city report that one of the heaviest wind storms of the season visited that lo cality last night and for several hours the storm raged in a great intensity and in some localities caused not a little alarm. The rain that followed was not very heavy and did no damage as the greater part of the storm seemed to be de voted to wind. If you want good printing let us do your work.
