GOOD RAIN LAST FRIDAY.
ENSURES Crop Of Corn, which Is In the SIX
and Filling Wen.


and Filling Well
A short spell OF hot, dry weather was
broken last Friday evening by one ofthe
best rains Of the season. Great banks OF
dark clouds were lined up in the north
and northwest early Friday afternoon
and slowly crept in a sOutheasterly d.
rectiOn as far as GOOdland when they
broke and covered a large stretch Of ter
ritory, accompanied by heavy rain.
All parts Of Sherman county we're well
vet by rain, and a small amount Of hail
fell in places. A strong wind accom-
panied the storm and did some damage
to wheat stacks that were not anchored
and to those that were not yet compIet-
ed.
But the value Of this rain at this time
is inestimable when the corn crop is held
in view Many large fields Of it in this
county had already tasseled and silked
and had reached a stage in its develope-
ment when more than the ordinary
amount Of moisture was needed. Now
the farmers say their corn is on the
hOmeward stretch, and so luxuriant are
some of the fields that it is safe to say
that the yield in this crop this year will
surpass the experience of the oldest
farmers Of the county.
Another rain may be needed to ma
ture the corn but as the tendency TO
rainfall in this part Of the country is
very favorable there is no anxiety felt in
that direction.
As birds eye view Of field Of corn
in Sherman county, let the eye picture
TO the mind one hundred-acre tract Of
rich-colOred corn as high as a mans
head, all tassled out and the stalks
bullying with the forming ears hooded
with the matted silk. the property of
"Bill" CrOckfOrd, Of Grant township.

Williams and Son Ask Only
Extension of Time
(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2.-Concerning the
request for an extension by creditors
made by John l.. Williams and Sons, of
this city. and J. w. M~iddendorf & Com
pany, a member of the firm of John L.
Williams & Sons, IN this city said today:
so far very few show a disposition to
press US. On the contrary, we have graft
tying indications of a disposition to glVe
both Of the firms time to realize on their
assets and make a settlement. | am sat
isfied we can pay out IN full and leave Us
4 large surplus if we are permitted to do
50, and the figures will bear me out.
"Middendcrf & Company and ourselves
have been trying to carry the load and
to take care OF ourselves and our friends
by protecting the Seaboard ri Our
confidence in the securities has been
strong always. and is as strong now as
ever, but we have not been able to hold
them up against the mysterious and IT.
resistible fall in prices. With the market
in anything like normal condition for
these securities and others selling at any
where near their real value. we would be
far ahead.
W are cramped simply by the I'M
possibility of selling any securities, no
matter how sound, IN the present condi-
ton of the market. Our hope and belief
is that we shall tide over this without
loss to any creditor and with a far
margin for ourselves"
