AUGUST.
What is the matter with August? It is
the only long midsummer period of hot
days, few showers and no holidays. There
is not even a suggestion of a national cele­
bration between Independence Day and
Labor Day.
August was not always the forgotten
month of the year. In early times the name
was unknown. When the year was divided
into ten months by the Romans the period
of heat and humidity marked by dry
rivers, lakes and creeks was called Sextil-
is. History says it was Ceaser who changed
the seasons and gave us the month of Aug­
ustus, now shortened to August.
Why not consult the goddesses, Ceres,
Pomona and Flora, and get a proclamation
naming some day in August for a national
festival, in commemoration of the cereals,
fruits and flowers? Or why not get some
fabled mermaid-nymph to set apart a day
for national aquatic sports and liven up the
month of August? There are enough days
to spare, the time between light and dark­
ness is long and the danger in outdoor
revelries is not so great as in some other
seasns. August days and vacaton-time are
too bright too be passed in the hum-drum
of everyday existence.

The new editor is on the job. Although
the Eagle was published last week under
the change of management, Paul Robinson
did all the editorial work as a courtesy for
the abrupt change, to allow the new man
to have time to move here and become
settled.
Mr. Robinson was a pioneer in news­
paper work in Vernonia, and has worked
the Eagle up to its present status. As an
editor, he is widely known, and has gained
many friends in the profession. Because
of mining interests and a desire to quit the
strenuous newspaper life, he has retired;
and he and his family are now enjoying a
well-earned vacation. The present owner
wishes to thank Mr. Robinson for his fair­
ness and four-square methods of dealing m
