"The beer story Is impossible. The
Kaiser has been practically a tee

Indulge freely in beer, liquor or wine.
Even at state banquets the Kaiser

publicly condemned the students of
Heidelberg for their beer drinking."

HOT WEATHER COMES
TO SPEND THE SUMMER
City Residents Preparing for Annual Summer Vocations at Moun
tains and Seashore—“Is it H ot Enough for You In
dividual Again in Evidence.
Monday morning dawned In Rich
mond red hot and *1111 a-heatlng. At
8 A. M. the mercury was flirting with
7 6 degrees. At 1 o’clock It was do
ing the high dive act towards 80. At
noon it was fairly slszllng and—oh,
what's the use. everybody knows how
hot it can get in Richmond.
Sure, it's hot. Awful hot.’ But then
a person can hardly hope to go sleigh
riding in the middle of June.
No, it is hopeless to try to stave
off the summer, but there are rumors
that steps will he taken at a meet
ing to be held here to organise the
"Society for the Suppression of the
Is-lt-Hot-Enough-for-You Individual,"
who has returned with the first drops
of perspiration.
And this is the season when the
head of the family Is swamped each
evening as he sits on his front porch
with green and white booklets. "In
the Heart of the Blue Ridge,” states
one in gold letters; "Driftwood, by
the Sea,” reads another. Then there
are pictures. Great shade trees on
with inviting hammocks; trim little
sailing craft, gracefully skimming over
the surface of ltmlped lakes. All of
this the "old man" must wade through.
Ai night he dreams dreams of great
engines and steamboats forcing
themselves in his pockets and extract
ing his big fat bank roll, the result
of a year's toll.
He arises at dawn with a sigh. At
breakfast his wife tells him it is all
arranged. They will spend two week*
in the mountains, and the remainder
of the summer at the seashore. He
comes across with the long green and
prepares to keep “bachelor's apart
ments” during the. summer.
It Is the same old story. And the
transfer and transportation like to
hear it often repeated. Each year
from the pleasure seekers they reap
a golden harvest. Poor father has to
stand for it all.
But what's the use of worrying?
Summer is here.
