lief from these eXhausting conditions
for the next two days at least, except
such as may come from the always

portions of the superheated area. To-
day dry thunderstorms unac-
companied by rain prevailed in several
sections of the West, hundreds of miles
apart. They temporarily cooled the
atmosphere, but brought no relief to
the famishlng crops. Absolutely no
rain fell in the corn belt, according 20
the official reports received here. In
Eastern Iowa 1t was a trihe cooler to-

There was no making of mortises or ten

positions right in the snow, and strips o.

have not a man like Marshall to pro-

full Of rapid evolutjors and turmoil for
