pie in the United States live in cities and

Compared with the returns of 1880 the

1921 degrees at 3 o'clock in the after

of the day the humidity measured only
so per cent, while at Z o'clock it had fall

One of the features of the days heat
was the wind that blew over the baked
prairies Of Illinois and Iowa. 1t started
at a ten-mile gait at z o'clock in the
morning, and the mercury began to climb
the tube at the rate of 3 to 4 degrees an
hour until the high point was reached
at 8 o'clock. At that hour the wind was
blowing at the rate of thirty miles an
ho"r. The street thermometer registered
at least 1O5, and some Of those which
were hung where the sun had been dur
ing the morning ran up as high as 115
degrees. The lake breeze which visits
Chicago like a protecting angel during
hot spells played over the city, begin

mercury from 96 degrees to 66 degrees.
The hot wave Wednesday extended
over Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana.

S PRANrs FoR RAIN.
Farmers of the Great Wheat and Corn
Belt See Crons Wither.

1'GAt oCC NTOIpS N1vneTs
The people OF the middle West are
praying for rain. They are praying sin
ely and III groups, but the entire stricken
region. which includes Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa and parts OF Illinois and Indiana,
is moving toward a huge, concerted pray
err day to bring rain to their burning
crops. Unless rain quickly comes to the
relief of the great parched crops in the
immense corn and wheat belt of the
West great loss and in many cases com
plcte ruin Of the crops will result. For
two weeks the hot winds and heat wave
have been at their worst. with the Their
lnometer soaring close to the 100 mark.
The only Way the farmers now hope
to get relief is BIZ asking more than hu-
man aid. Kansas is burning up. In 80
per cent of the counties the crops are
entirely ruined. 1t has been leo degrees
or over in the shade for days upon days,
and the grain is just at that point where
II must have rain OF die. The same CON
dition prevails in Missouri. and other OF
the grain States. Already crops are dam-
aged and vegetation withcrcl and ruined

The suggestion for enlisting executive
action was made by the Rev. George w.
Sharp. n %well-known preacher of North
Missouri, whose home is at Kirksville.
The Rev. MIR. Sharp is confident that
this is the appropriate thing to do to Sc
cure relief in time.
The conditions in Missouri at present,
are serious. according to information col.
lected by Il Chicago paper. All hope of
a corn crop is extinguishcd and stock
~raisers are shipping their cattle to other
States for feed and water. Farmers keep
their wells locked for fear of Travellers
stopping ut night and clandestinely wat
ering their horses. In Mexico and other
villages prayers for rain have been pub
licly offered. AT Warrensburg expert
ments have been made by shooting chem
icals at the sky. AT other points can
mons have been fired at regular intervals.
The heat belt extends across the corn
growing bottoms of the Mississippi val
ley and hour by hour it is drying up the
creeks and wells, which usually have
been adequate for all purposes of cult
walton. Now the stock wanders miles
for a little fresh water to drink where u
month ago the COWS stood rib deep near
the banks.
Some of the finest orchards in the West
now look as if they had been swept by
fire. The fruit is drying up into little
brown shells. which will soon fall to
the ground and dry up to nothing.
