LIGHT FRosTs DURING THE
WEEK DID LITTLE DAMAGE

According to the summary issued by
the department of agriculture for the
week ending May %, the temperature
in Illinois was low during the first half
of the week, and vegetation, conse-
quently. made but little growth. To-
ward the end of the week it became
warmer, with much needed sunshine.
Light frost in many localities of the
northern district occurred on several
dates. but little or no damage resulted.
Precipitation was deficient in the
northern portion. and the soil is be-
ginning TO show the lack of moisture.
In the southern portion most of the
week was showery, and farming OPP
erations were delayed by wet condi-
ton of the soil.
In the northern district the greater
portion of the corn crop has been
planted, but IN the central and south
ern, not much progress was made
with this week, owing TO wet weather.

The Investigation into the accounts
of S. f. Smith is making progress and
is keeping c. A. Mast working over

a day as well on his task of inspect

task of Strengthening Mr.. Smiths ac-

one. Mortgages have been playing
hide and seek between the boxes of
the different estates for so long, that
tracing their devious path from the
date they were first entered in one of
the estates until they were finally
found in some other, or until they
disappeared on the way, is quite a
job. Mr.. Smith. it has been found
was an expert bookkeeper. He kept
beautiful set of books, and he was
able to make them balance perfectly
and those who have looked over his
transactions feel growing admira-
ton for the wonderful technique with
which he was able to carry along the
sadly complicated estates and conceal
shortage until it had grown to S110,'
