large cities to reduce the casualties
from Fourth of July accidents. The
total casualties reported including

first two or three days were cool,

many localities the amounts ranged

we're wind storms accompanied the
rain on the evening of the 18th and
did considerable damage to the corn,

the crop has made satisfactory adj

per cent of it is now beyond danger OF
an ordinary heavy frost. The late
corn will require from ten days to
two weeks of warm, dry weather to
mature, and, as usual, small percent

middle of October. Considerable corn
has been cut and shocked or put in
silos The rains have softened the
ground which is now in excellent con-

grains. and this work has progressed
rapidly during the past four or five
days. Some clover has been cut for

President Taft is without doubt
the greatest globe trotter ever at the
head of this nation and there is little
doubt in some minds that he is the
greatest traveller in the world. The
trip that he is now making of some
thing like 1900 miles ranks with that
taken by his predecessor in office in
1908, but as a traveller of the world,
Taft stands far ahead of Roosevelt.
The trip now under way Is but a
pleasure jaunt compared to his wan.
derings over the face of the earth in
previous years. 1t would seem an I'M
likely statement to make that Presi-
dent Taft sas Travelled a distance
equal to that from the earth to the
moon Still the grand total of the dis
lance covered by his journeys since
1900 amounts to approximately 221,-
954 miles and the distance from the
earth TO the moon is 221, 500 miles.
| When the grand total of the number
of miles covered by President Taft is
compared to the distance around the
earth 1t is found that his travels
would take him nine times around the
globe, beside these figures the travels
of other presidents appear small
The first of the presidential tours was
taken by Harrison who made swing

was followed by McKinley's trans

coach and covered 1856 miles. Nc
Kinley's tour OF the Pacific coast cost
the railroads 100000 but that was be.
fore the anti-pass law went into eff

will be paid out of a $4,000 appro-
