IF FROST HOLDS OFF
"A Heavy Yield of Corn Is Promised
in South Dakota

HURON, S. D., Aug. 27-The weekly
report OF the South Dakota weather and
crop bureau is as follows:
The temperature during the week
averaged somewhat below the normal.
Several days were SeaSonably warm but
the weather averaged cool, with cool
nights. There was considerable cloud
mess, also. The rains that occurred
were mostly in light to fair scattered
showers although some localities re-
ceived good to heavy showers. The
precipitation, the state considered, aver
aged somewhat above the normal In
some localities showers, though light,
were frequent, with the cloudiness pro
ducing semi-damp weather While corn
did we'll and is steadily nearing ma
turity, warmer weather and more sun
shine in connection with the rains would
nave been more favorable to it's pro-
gress. In some of the most southern
counties considerable of the earliest is
considered about out of danger from
frcst; elsewhere it is mostly in the
roasting ear stage. There is some re-
port, also, of corn ripening unavenly.
Ihe crop is still very promising and the
opinion appears to be prevalent that two
weeks more Of immunity from killing
frost will insure a heavy yield In
most localities the crop is the best for
years.
Small grain harvest is nearly COM
pleted and in the central and southern
counties threshing is becoming general.
Reports indicate that as a rule the
wheat and oats yield will be fair to
good, with more or less shrunken berry

1T VIII Probably Come Down TO the
Latest Tariff Some Time
Today.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-It was an
nouneed today that the Lake Superior
lines had again reduced the freight
rates to st. Paul. This last cut is said
to have been reduction to five cents
on all classes of freight below fourth
class. The story was not absolutely
confirmed, but the railroads declared
that they would take no steps to meet
the cut. 1t was not met today by the
lake Michigan liners either, but the
opinion is that they will come down to-
morrow as low as the Lake Superior
lines have gone.
Earnings of the Monon for the third
week in August were $56,945, an in
crease of $10,431 over the same week of
last year. From July l, gross earnings
were S408, 1927, decrease of $72, 995, from
the corresponding period Of last year.
The Western roads have again re-
fused to make an open reduced rate
for congressional conventions and po-
litical meetings. The result of this &C
ton is that separate propositions will
be submitted for every convention and
meeting as they are held. The matter
will be taken up at the next regular
meeting Of the association.

ST CLOUD, Mimi. Aug. 27.-The
Sixth district congressional Democratic
convention here today placed c. A.
Tcwne in nomination by reclamation
as the party's candidate for congress-
man. The convention was called to
order by Chairman Hudson, of St.
Louis county at IL noon. He outlined
the object for which the convention
had been called at some length. He
told of the great benefits this country
would derive by free coinage at a ratio
OF 16 to 1, and called upon all his party
to stand firmly with their shoulders to
the wheel for this end. After his re-
marks he read the call of the conven-
tion, in which 181 delegates were entitled
to seats, of which number Stearns
county had A and st. Louis county 20.
Attorney F. w. Lyon, Of Morrison,
placed the name of Hon. George Gels
sin in nomination as temporary chair
man, and he was elected by acclama-
ton. In taking his seat the ex-senator
said he appreciated his unfitness for
the honor, but If his party demanded
that he act he would do so to the best
of his ability for love of country. John
Costin Jr.. of st. Louis county, was
chosen secretary by reclamation.
William P. Remer of Stearns, moved
that committee of three be appointed
by the chair as a committee on creden-
tlalS, and the chairman named William
2. Remer, Stearns; J. c. Nugent,
Wright, and E. F. Shaw, Morrison. 1t
was moved that a committee of three
be appointed on permanent organiza-
tion, but the motion did not receive a
second, as the delegates were anxious
to get to dinner. Recess was taken
till o'clock, in order to lunch and
give the committee on credentials time
to report.
When the convention was again call
ed to order, committee reports were
heard The platform as adopted in
dorses the Chicago platform and
pledges support to Bryan and Sewall
and also indorSeS the action Of the
state convention on fusion. 1t declares
the one issue of vital Importance in
the campaign is bimetallism, condemns
the single gold standard and insists
on the establishment Of the free coin
age of both gold and silver at a ratio
of l6 to L. 1t also declares sympathy
with the attitude of c. A. Towne on
the financial issue and advocates his
return to congress. It demands the
passage of the Anderson bill providing
for the taxation of unused railroad
lands and demands that iron mines be
taxed in the same manner as other
lands are now taxed. The usual con-
gresSional committee was appointed
also committee on notification with
Geo. GeisSlin as chairman. Convention
then adjourned.
