SOUTHWEST FUR EDITORIAL THE TANG OF FALL In the early mornings a light feathery fog hangs over the lands and there is a tang in the air Over the Sound a veil of mist lingers as if to protect the water from the brilliant sun that has just shown its first rays over the horizon Out over the meadows the fog rises and falls as if fanned by a breeze All nature is quiet One does not need to look at the calendar to feel that fall is near Along the roadside the shrubbery has taken on new hues of red and yellow The trees have begun to show maturity in their foliage Tnc The logged-off land is covered with the latest i last feeding place for the bees As the sun unusually bright the atmosphere warms up to summer heat as if to make up for the cool nights The grass covered with the morning dew soon dries off after giving relief to the thirsting tation toward the mountains a I veil of smoke hovers low over the signal signs that the for- est ranger dreads to see But away above all the snow-capped tain appears as if suspended in the sky by some invisible power What I a world to live in and how for- I are we who live to enjoy such Land water I tains great tracts of evergreen I trees tall and all
