The First of September another New Year's Day because of so many new beginnings these days bring along. The public schools open. The college and university terms are on again. The town houses must open and be prepared for their masters and the family. y There are peculiar charms in the new tints of nature that September brings when she ushers in the Autumn. In the next few weeks the fields let go their lovely green. The corn aisles are broken up and the "golden corridors" disappear, leaving only 6tubble and sheaves for the red harvest moon to look down upon. September later sunrises and earlier sunsets crowd us all togreater diligence to get Anna filings defending on us. Signed September 1, 1020.
