establishment of the army canteen is
urged by Brigadier General Frank D.
Baldwin. commanding the Department

Il have been deeply impressed by
the very marked difference in disci-
pine and general contentment among
the enlisted men since the abolition of
the canteen feature of the post ex-
change. If men are unable to get
glass of beer in a decent and orderly
manner in the garrison they will resort
to the vile brothes which cluster
around the borders of the reservation,
where they drink all manner OF alco--
holic beverages and often sink into de-
bauchery and ruin

Damage in Nebraska.

tldI Sldte.
Damage in Nebraska.
In the extreme western and north
western part of Nebraska frost fell,
adding to the heavy damage done the
night before. The weather today is
reported generally clear and all that
is needed now to insure a good corn
crop is warmer weather to mature and
harden the kernels.
Killing Frost Avoided.
Des Moines, Sept. 17-At 1 o'clock
this morning the skies clouded over
Des Moines and central Iowa and rain
began to fall. The temperature rose
somewhat. With these conditions pre-
vailing over Iowa early predictions for
a general frost will me negatiyed. In
any event killing frosts cannot be an
ticipated.
Might Be Beneficial.
Light frost, such as would turn down
some of the corn leaves, might be a
benefit rather than a damage 1t was
pointed out yesterday that with these
killed the sap within the stalk might
be forced into the corn and hasten it
to maturity, thus placing it further
from danger. But killing frost would
prove disastrous.
Corn Out of Danger Unknown.
Just what percentage of the corn is
out of danger is impossible for anyone
to guess. The conditions of the spring
and SUNNI Ter have been so unusual that
corn may be found in various stages
of development in almost every town
ship.
Frosts in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Sept. 1.-THE weather
bureau of Milwaukee reports light to
heavy frosts throughout Wisconsin last
night, probably killing in many locali.
ties.
Corn Was Benefited.
Council Bluffs, Sept. 17.-Although
the temperature went down to Sc here
and as low as 80 in some parts of
southwestern Iowa, reports from twen-
ty counties indicate little damage to
the corn from the frost of Tuesday
night. From many points it is predict
ed that early planted corn has been
benefited rather than damaged, rank
growing of stalks and leaves being
checked and corn given a turn in the
right direction of ripening. Some of
the corn that suffered most would have
matured under most favorable circum-
stances.
Safe in Southeast Iowa.
Burlington, Sept. 17-Corn is still
safe in southeastern Iowa. The mer-
curry went down to 46 above zero this
morning, but no frost has been report
ed. The sky was thickly overcast last
night and on this account no serious
frost was experienced. Farmers in this
vicinity are somewhat discouraged,
however, on account of the unusually
cold weather.
