FALL
OF RAIN
No Damage to Speak of in
Morrow County.
Everything Dry again and Har-
vesting I'm Full Progress over
the County.

The rain storm of last Sunday
afternoon was very heavy for a
short time. There was also a
heavy rain Sunday night.
The heaviest downpour was in
the vicinity of Clark's canyon
where there was considerable water.
In the foot hills there was not
rain to speak of, in fact not enough
to cause any preceptible rise in
Willow creek at Heppder.
Up Hinton creek there was
heavy rain and this stream carried
considerable water for short
time.
Reports from over the county
are that the wheat crop was not
injured. No standing grain was
knocked down and the only
damage was a short delay in
harvest operations.
Harvesting is again in full pro-
gress and the settled appearance
of the weather is encouraging for
harvesting of the big wheat crop
without damage.

Funds will be needed to the enc of
July to feed all these millions, and
then the harvest will bring relief; but
there are many hundreds of thousands
TO whom the harvest will not bring re-
lief, for they have neither land nor
cattle. The few COWS in existence are
in such a pitiful condition that they
are useless for milking purposes. The
result is that babies and young children
are being forced to eat coarse black
bread and ihdigestible young cucum-
bers.
The people have sold their all, and
III most cases have likewise sold in
advance all the harvest might bring
them. They have sold themselves and
work, and from all over the outh-
eastern provinces reports are coming in
of young women and girls forced to
prostitute themselves to obtain food.
For these suffering people relief
must be afforded during the whole of

Of disease add to the terrible condi-

tered in relieving these people are made
ten times worse now owing to the prac-

Americans were taking part in the eel

colonies should be independent nations.
