Showers Have Fallen in Norh- ern Part of Belt, But
 They Were Slight
TEMPERATURE SOME LOWER
In Some Places the People Are De- voting Themselves to Securing Drinking Water, as Supply Is
 Growing Very Scarce.

Washington, July 25.-Official reports show that the corn belt region continues hot and dry, with no prospects of imme- diate change in the condition. Showers have fallen in the northern half of the corn belt area since last night, including Nebraska, Iowa, northern Illinois, north ern Indiana and Ohio. Most of these rains, which were generally light, fell last night. Today there were some light rain falls in western NabrasKa and Oklahoma These slight precipitations, however. the forecast officials say, are not always con ducive to the best results to the growing crops, as they are mostly thunder show CTS immediately followed by hot sun Showers, it is said, possibly may occur In the drouth- stricken region this week, as they are usually inseparable from visita- tions of intense heat, but no general re- lief is predicted.
 The temperature today, while few de- grees lower, still remains very high from g5 to 100 degrees and higher. Ne braska, Missouri. Iowa and northern Illi- nois have had some rainfall, though gen. orally very light in amount. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan had some good showers last night, and a. continuation of the precipitation, particularly in Wiscon- sin and Michigan. is predicted for to- morrow.
