Show . . 4 Ruminatin' M Roundabout ? In which Ruminator proposes to dream a lot, think as little as necessary, scatter a few bouquets bou-quets while their objectives are still above the sod to enjoy them, and fire a hot-shot now and then while said Ruminator Ruminat-or can enjoy seeing the sparks fly. The treatment accorded Manager J. Cass Root and his Junior League baseball boys by the live-wire little lit-tle city of Tremonton was everything every-thing we had expected, if reports are true. One of the truly outstanding out-standing smaller cities of the state, with business houses and populace "on their toes" for everything of a worthwhile nature, Ruminator is not a little proud to have called that place home for a few months in 1928. Staging an event such as the Junior League state tournament tourna-ment and doing it in commendable commend-able manner is a job made-to-order for Tremonton, Utah! Ralph Russey hands us a clipping clip-ping from a paper published in Wichita, Kansas, where it must get really hot, from the figures quoted. quot-ed. There is nothing to indicate just what day of the month it was, but at 12:30 o'clock it was 110 degrees de-grees hot, tying the previous day's high record and going up at the rate of a degree each hour with the peak expected at 4 o'clock! All hot records in history for that part of Kansas were being broken. Perhaps a forerunner of the political heat likely to be generated this fall. The Sunflower Sun-flower state has had some hat elections in the past and the fact that a favorite son is the aspirant for national honors will probably not interfere too much with plenty of heat this fall. But, getting back to the weather, wea-ther, the city engineer of Wichita made some temperature tests on this particular day and found as follows: In dry dirt 137 degrees, in dirt street 118, down town' 122, in the sun in car 122, in shade in car 117 and in sun outside car 147. fl'hanks, Ralph, we feel a lot cooler just from reading of the discomfort that must have been Wichitans'. |
