This is the day you look even farther ahead. It won't be long now. Instead of rain there will be tapioca snow in the valley, light snow in the hills, deep snow in tha mountains and after that skiing in Bogus Basin and wherever you look the dazzle of sun on snow. All that is still a long way ahead, you tell yourself, but just the same, you are getting ready.

September is a blend of morning mist over the mountains which disappears in the full-noon sun, a growing chill in the air when you get up in the morning and at evening, gray clouds in the blue sky instead of chalk-white ones, a difference in the color and texture of the leaves of trees, a fading of the brightness of flowers, a briskness of school starting, a rising eagerness to begin new projects. End To Summer An end has come to summer, to its lush frdtfulness, its ripeness, and its brillianoe. In these newly cool mornings, boys and girls leave the houses, neatly turned out in the sameness of school clothes inslead of individual assemblages of outfits for play. They wear sweaters in the morning and carry new books under their arms; when they come home in the warm and golden afternoon they bring their books and carry their sweaters. You take a fresh look at these children, moving with dignified purposes in response to the seriousness of school, of work to be done in the long months that stretch ahead.

You see how they have grown during summer's carefree days. Everyone's Grown And not only the children. Out where the ranches are, the calves and colts and lambs, even the puppies and kittens, so small in April and May, have grown in size and decorum and now seem to fit right in with the older animals. Everywhere colors are different. Over there to the east at daybreak the outlines of the mountains, definite in summer, have become soft, blurred, silvered, sometimes veiled.

Later, when the insistent sun is stronger and the mist gives way, the hills are charcoal and brown-green and purple. Leaves Change The leaves of the trees are still green, but the green leaves of September differ from the shining luster of summer ones. And, dry, they lose their thickness so that stands of trees appear less dense. That blue spruce which was almost lost in summer's heavy growth of elms and oaks is seen more clearly now, and there is a new note of color in the landscape. September skies are blue but not the vivid blue of summer, except sometimes.

There comes a day when it rains and when the rain stops in early evening and you look up a road climbing to the hills, look above the tops of trees, the green emphasizing the blue of the sky, and as far as you can see there is nothing but blue: sky, gentle hills, high mounains. The whole world seei.ii washed in blue. Bit Faded Roses aiill bloom, but are they as velvety as they were? Are the colors, the pink and red and yellow, quite as vivid? You have to hold them cioser now to smell their fragrance. But out along the road to Mountain Home, and especially after a hard, beating rain, the sagebrush, now olive-green, now silver, now purple, is more pungent than ever, and the tawny desert grass ripples and has a deeper color than in summer. Once in a while there is a day so warm you tiiink you are back in summer.

But there is a coolness in shade even at noon and the glitter of hot August has become sparkle without too much warmth. A few leaves fall from the trees during the first rain. You see a wide catalpa leaf on the ground and drops of rain cling to it and make a pattern so lovely you wish you could keep it. But mostly the leaves wait. The trees stand still, resting, waiting; they have realized their fulfillment.

Days grow shorter, busier. The house begins to have a different look; every day you put away more summer things. The phone rings and meetings are scheduled. How are you going to have time to do all those things you planned when September started? Colors in the supermarket have changed, even in this era of year-round vegetables. There are golden squashes, deep-red late tomatoes, great purple grapes.

Good smells begin to come from the kitchen; food is being cooked in the oven again: fragrant, bubbling casseroles, perhaps a pie for dinner. You want to get outside as often as you can, to hold on to summer just a little longer. But when you drive past Julia Davis park the picnic tables and the benches are wet and there is no one to use them. Busy September days hurry on, warm and bright, then dark and rainy, every day shorter, every night cooler, until there comes the night when rain falls steadily and on into the next day and there is a cold wind. All day long it rains and you accept the finality of no more days of summer.

Soon those trees out there will have no more leaves at all and there will be only the winter- DANGER OF FIRST THE MEAT OF MAN" MADE "CATTLE CONTAINS A MUCH HIGHER PROPORTION OF FAT NO WILD ANIMAL HAS SUCH MAIVE FATTY DEPOSITS. 7 IT'S NOTHING 1 Dear Editor: Please enroll my little sister in the Birthday club.

A snail weighs less than half an ounce, but a snail can drag more than a pound of weight over a smooth surface! Snails have two "eye horns." If one of them is lost, it simply grows another. And a snail can crawl across the edge of a razor without cutting itself. This is because the skin at the foot of a snail is very tough.

Snails may live in land, fresh water, or in salt water. Most of their food is imade up of plant material, but many of them eat flesh. In the moutlh of a snail there is a kind of ribbon-like file. Snails are able to cut or shred their food into little pieces by using this Snails have eyes which are located at the tips of the long antennae, or at the baise of the smaller antennae. If you flash a light on a snail, it will draw in the tentacles or antennae which have the eyes.

This means the eyes of the snail are sensitive to light, but they can't see images through them. Many kinds of snails breathe air. They have lungs which are located about the middle of the body, slightly nearer to the head. Snails which breathe in water, have delicate gills. Water Is kept flowing over these gills and from this the blood takes oxygen.

Such snails can live on the bottom of the ocean, since they don't have to come to the surface to get air. Snails move across the ground by crawling on the under-portion of the body, which Is called the It is very tough and muscular, and contains glands which give off a slimy liquid so that the snail can glide along the surface.
