THE JULY TEMPERATURE
MADE UNEVEN RECORD.
Below Normal in Northern Indiana,
Above Average in Southern
Counties.

The monthly report of the Indiana
section of the weather bureau shows
that last month the average temper
ature was below the normal at al
stations from which reports are re-
ceived, in the northern and central
parts of Indiana, with the exception
of Mauzy and Franklin. The opposite
conditions prevailed in the southern
part of the state, where the temper
ature was above normal. The precf-
pitation during last month was I'M
evenly distributed in the state, but as
rule there was ample moisture ex
cept in scattered localities in the
southern counties. where more rain
would have been decidedly beneficial.
The average temperature for last
month for the state. determined from
the records of the fifty-seven stations
from which reports were received,
was 74.S.

OF THE SUBJECTS THAT WILL

ed by ii. The bill did not pass, but the
members of the postmasters' associa-
ton will endeavor TO bring such strong
pressure TO bear that ii will be passed
this year. In speaking of the con-
vention and its objects, Postmaster
Spekenhier said:
The object of the association is to
confer on all questions relating to the
postal service. and through the depart
mental officers. correct defects. devel-
op better methods and in every way
promote the general interests of the
service. The value of these conven-
lions has been realized and the postal
department grants full freedom of dis
cussion at them on disputed questions.
differences with the department and
all matters relating to the service.
Thus the postmasters are relieved of
embarrassment and through their rec
concentrations a number of important
changes and improvements have been
made in the service generally.
The issuance of stamp notes by the
department will again be discussed at
the oncoming meeting. and a strong eff
fort will be made to have the law au-
thorizing them, passed by the oncom
ing session of congress. They would
do away with several evils, and with

them would neither be an expense to

er would have bought The note
would be transferable from hand to
hand just are stamps. and the amount
called for would be paid to the person
presenting it at the office for redemp-
ton. No charge would be made for
the issuance of the notes.
1T is argued that although there
is strict ruling against selling stamps
at discount, this is done by the large
mercantile establishments who receive
stamps in lieu of money in exchange
for goods. These houses get more
stamps than they can care for and
therefore they have to sell them at a
discount. If the stamp not was is
sued no such practice would have to be
tolerated. The opponents to the meas

DIRECTORS UNDERTAKE
BUILDINGS REMOVAL
Have Been Unable to Find
Anyone to Do 1t.
SMALL STRUCTURE SOLD.

After futile attempt to secure bids
from contractors for the removal OF
the old brick property on the Y NJ c.
A. site, the directors have at last de-
cided to undertake the removal of the
structure. The chief reason assigned
for the failure of contractors to bid
on the removal of the buildings is that
labor is so scarce that they will not
assume the risk.
1t is thought that the management
can successfully employ enough men
to raze the building and then sell the
old brick in a lot. The smaller of the
two buildings has been sold to Oliver

Morris was driving down the street at

Wilson, in company with two depu-

officers thought that Morris was one
of the whisky peddlers' party and
called to him to halt. Not under

attention and drove on. When the
officers started after him he became
nervous and whipped up his horses.
Shots were fired In the air, but the

beyond recognition, his clothes soaked

who resided three miles west of this

Randell, il is presumed, started

thought, and carried the body 100
feet.
He was 20 years old and was not

Indications Are That Deficit in Pro-
duction Will be Counterbalanced
by Increase in Prices.

AS the season progresses IL is becom-
ing more certain that the fears Of a
crop failure SO generally entertained
before the recent heavy rainfall had
little foundation in fact. 1t is true
that the aggregate yield of all the
crops will be less than last year, but it
is also certain that the falling off in
bulk will be nearly, If not quite, coun-
terbalanced by the higher value OF
this years crops.
The most important crop exhibit of
the present week was the governments
report, which corroborates this view.
While the condition of spring wheat
and Of oats showed considerable dete-
rioration as compared with the begin
ming of July the indications for corn
crop of 2,648, 34S,OOO bushels and a
winter wheat crop Of 400, 500, 900 bush
els, we're much better than had been
generally anticipated. The indicated |
corn crop is $50, 900, 900 bushels under
the actual crop Of last year, but at the
higher price now ruling for the cereal
it promises to bring In much more to
the farmer.
The indicated yield of spring wheat
per acre is 1879, against last years final
Of 1916, but the increase in price per
bushel will far more than compensate
the farmer for the falling off. Taken
altogether, and with the known fact
that the hay crop has not only been
large but that it has been saved under
exceptionally favorable conditions, the
farmers returns from the crops Of the
present year are likely to be as large
as those from any year in the past.
