Safe From Riot.

That whimsical but Indispensable
functionary, the weather maker, de-
lights to play wild FRANKS on the
green things of earth, especially on
maj, the most verdant Of creation,
and his plans for haryests. This year
has been one of unusual growth, FOR
the periods Of sunshine have been
long and the rain storms have been
dropped in at well timed and evenly
measured instances.
Seldom have crops grown 80 unin.
teruptedly as they have this year. In
the early summer there was the
proper amount of moisture, and the
cool, even temperature was exactly
right for oats and hay. The harvest
Of oats has been enormous and farm
ers report that the quality of the
grain is very high. Hay attained
good height, although the yield will
not be as heavy as last year. This
was due probably to a bit of winter
killing in meadows that were carried
over from last season. But after the
middle Of June came warm weather OF
the snug, steady variety that is a de.
light to the farmers heart. This
rushed the corn and tobacco into
rapid growth, for these two Wiscon.
sin staples had been backward up
to that time.
July Short on Rain.
The latter part of June was marked
by heavy rainfalls, so that the month
of July was ushered with a plenty of
moisture in the soil. This condition
made 1t possible for the ground to

easily are dried out. The drainage to
crops from lack of rain was more
than offset by the dry, hot weather

cultural population to experience SO
many favorable days for cutting and

continued heat makes certain the

to treshen the pastures. With the
excess of precipitation for August the
total shortage for the year is re.
duced from 800 to 2.59 inches.-not
at all bad, when one considers that
the rainfall has been almost devoid
OF deIuges. Besides a good part of
the shortage came with winter. when
the snowfall was abnormally light.
SO long as the weather man brings
the drouth in harvest time he is safe
IN his garnet in East hall. Riot
threatens him only when he causes
his deIuges to fall on the just man as
he cuts and shocks his oats.

COMMITTEE HAS CONFERRED
WITH ATTORNEY RUPE
ABOUT MATTER.
THE PLEDGES OF A FEW men
Have Been All the Backing the
Movement Has Had in Past
s. Association Needed.

3 "A committee, chosen. from among
the members of last years Chautanr
qua association, is working on a plan
which will, if it is carried out, in
sure the eChautauqua as permanent
institution. - e
The committee, composed of E. K.
Shera, D. R. Ellabarger and John n.
Nicholson, has conferred with Attor-
ney John L. Rupe in reference to in
cooperating the association, and al
though no definite action has been Ia
ken, it is practically assured that an
association, incorporated to proect
the interests of the stockholders,
will be formed. g., .
For three years a, chautauqua ses~
sion has been held, backed by pub
lie. organization, such as the CONNER
ciai Club or Merchants association.
A few men were leaders and person.
ally pledged themselves to stand
good - for any losses occasioned
through mismanagement Y or bad
weather. So far, each session has
been ore of success than its pred
ecessor, but the strain on the few
men has been too great and they wish
to shift some of the responsibility.
The Incorporated company will not
be a private enterprise, but will be
conducted along tire, same lines aas
have the associations and commit
tees in the past There would prob
ably be no capital stock, but sum
which would be subscribed by differ
ent citizens to cover any possible
loss. This sum would not be greater
than $4,000, and would not be paid
into the treasury unless there was
need for more funds.
The question of using the Glen is a
serious obstacle to the committee.
BY the last legislature a law was
passed which allowed chautauquas
the use of public parks under the
condition th0t any profits which
MIGHT be gained are to be turned
over to the city treasury. This
leaves the association to start the
following year with 10 capital. An
effort will lie made at the next SEES
sion Of tie Legislature 10 rass q meas
