SIGNS OF RAIN
We are always Interested in the
weather. Most people are. The
people of this part of Oregon are
probably not so close and accurate
observers of weather Indications as
the people of some other countries.
Weather is' no novelty to them, es
peclally in this part of the year; and
it does not receive the attention that
It does In some other sections. It 1
taken more as a matter of course.
The sentiments of most western Ore
gonians on this matter are those of
the old farmer who, on leaving- home
for the day, had given his wife care-
ful directions what to do in certain
contingencies. But after he had
started he thought of something,
rode back, called his wife td the door,
and added this supplement to his pre
vious directions: "Betsy. If it rains,
just let itrain". This general spirit
of indifference blocks up the wsy
to investigation and critical observe-

ables those of small means,
those in moderate circum

for accumulating money by
systematic saving.

surely The News must be on the
keen lookout to observe and Inform
the people of Its clientage or any
discovery tht might seriously affect

have no desire to promote any need

we feel Justified In saying that f.-r

Quite frequently there has been ob

has been in the northeast, sometimes
for' several hours together. The Isst
time we saw the moon. It had 'a large

rheumatic tendencies have declared
that they "feet it in their bones"
If any farmer has observed a hog
prancing around his pen with a husk
or a wisp of hay In his mouth, that
will clinch - the matter. If he will
report such observations to The News
office, we are authorized to say that
the enterprising and vigilant editors
will publish these' omens, that the
unsuspecting cltisens may not be
taken unawares; but that the house
wives may hsve due notice to take
in their washing oft the line, and
that everything that might be injured
by dampness may be put nnder
shelter.
