WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
The week ending Monday morning
April 80, brought five days of fair
weather. with temperature above nor
NAL, which were followed by two
cool and cloudy days and we'll distrib-
uted showers. The rainfall was timely
and very beneficial to pastures, mead
ows, wheat, oats, barley and garden
truck, and it is also served a good
purpose in preventing baking and
crusting the previously saturated soil.
Reports indicate that good progress
has been made in preparation of soil
for planting corn, and it is probable
that more than the usual area is now
ready for the planter as compared
with previous years at this date. If
conditions are favorable a large part
Of corn acreage will be planted the
first decade in May. termination of
small grain has been quite satisfactory
and the fields generally show a good
stand. EARLY varieties of fruits show
abundant bloom. The pastures are
mostly in condition to afford forage
to the herds. Though the season is a
little late the general outlook is en-
couraging.

An Arabian Legend.

The Arabians had a tradition that
when the devil started forth from his
own place to the garden of Eden he
was too lazy to walk and begged all
the animals, n after another, to car
ry him. All refused except the SER
pent, which vas then a %quadruped and
the most beautiful of all beasts. Yield
ing to the %entreaties of Satan, the SER
pent took up the devil On its back and
carried him the rest Of the way, no
one knows how far, and after the con-
sequences of the DEVILS entry into the
garden became apparent the angels
were commanded to look up the SER
pent and punish it, so Michael cut off
its legs, and it was doomed hence
forth to travel about as best it could
fiat on the ground.

THE MAY DANCE.

Quite the SWEETEST affair of the sea-
son was the May Dance given at the
opera house last evening. The ladies
were the hostesses and no detail was
neglected which could add to the
pleasure of the evening. The opera
house was transformed into a beautiful
home ball room. Rugs, settees and
easy chairs took the place of the usual
barrenness. The lights cast a delicate
red glow over the hall, while palms,
potted plants and a p~rofusion of
cherry and apple blossoms added to the
brilliant effect. The Hover Wheeler
Bond orchestra was at it's best and
the dancers pronounced the music de-
lightful. At eleven o'clock there was
an intermission during which the
ladies served a substantial and delicious
two course lunch. The program of
the dances was a long n consisting
of thirty numbers with five extras
thrown in for good measure. All
parties concerned are'4good and tired
to-day but they join in declaring that
they had a perfectly splendid time.
During the evening the orchestra in
vited the Twenty-Five Club to a dance
to be given the middle of the month
at which the orchestra will be the
hosts. The announcement was hailed
with delight by all. There is no doubt
about it but that when the ladies of
Denison take hold of anything it is
bound to be a success.
