SEVERE HEAT
Ice Famine Ids to Seriousness Of the Situa-

No Promise of Relief

New York, July 10.-The heat
that showed no consciousness
of having been broken last week
returned with sunrise this morn
ing to claim renewed dominion
over the city and it's exhausted
millions. A sitting humidity
prevailed and postrations began
to come in with the earliest police
reports. Two deaths occurred
during the night. The tremend-
GUS demand for milk and ice has
made both scarce, and prices
have risen.
At noon the temperature was
95 and porstrations increased
rapidly. So many horses fell
that Mayor Gaynor bade Police
Commissioner Waldo to instruct
the police to interfere in all cases
where they thought horses were
overloaded.
The local FORECAST said:
Barometric indications are in
favor of another warm period.
The maximum temperature will
be above 95 degrees this after
noon and about that figure to-
morrow.
The maximum of last weeks
heat was SO. "
Chicago, July 10.-The ice sit

family consumption, however, is
only 5 cents.
It is said economy will be- ne

treated us with all christian

his door when we first came and
said make this your home, and
certainly we did enjoy his kind
hospitality. The Lord gave him
and his family great blessings.
May they and others who have
taken this noble start in the

The big-hearted Spencer said
he would give two acres of land
and house and help get an Or

CROP
WILL BE SHORT
In STATES
All Crops are Damaged by Dry
Hot Weather during
June

J Washington, July 10. Hot dry
I weather drouth has played some
thing akin to havoc with the crop
condition during last month, was
the statement made today by
Professor N. G. Murray, acting
chief of the crop reporting board
of the department of agriculture
after the announcement of the
July report on grain and produce.
The report says Professor
Murray, reflects the rather
serious effect of the drought in
June, most effeciing the import
ant crops showing a condition
which yields below last year and
below recent average fields.
"Feedstuffs, oats and hay seem
to have been hardest hit. Less
than two-thirds of a normal crop
of hay is expected and the oats
crop probably will be more than
"a per cent less than last years
crop, and about IL per cent less
than the average for the last five
years.
The corn acreage is the larg-
est ever recorded, but the condi-
tion of the crop is about 7 per
cent below the average. That
indicates a production of ap-
proximately 5 per cent less than
last years record crop, but near
ly 5 per cent more than the
average production in the last five
years. The condition of the corn
crop on July 1, however, was
critical.
The potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The acreage
has fallen off, probably on &C
count of unsatisfactory prices
last year, and the condition of
the crop now is lower than at
any time on July 2, in the last 22
years. Almost a sensational ad-
vance in the price of potatoes
had been made during the last
month. The average price on
July /, was 96.3 cents a bushel.
THE acreage in tobacco has
been reduced % per cent from
that of last year The low con-
dition together with the shortage
of acreage have combined to re-
duce the indications to total
production of 63.3 per cent of
last years crop, or 77.3 per cent
of average for the last five years.
Notwithstanding the drouth
the wheat crop, both spring and
will be we'll up to the
average in total production. It
is scarcely likely that amount of
wheat will vary a great deal
from the average of the last five
years.

LIQUOR EVIL
Dalhart Priest says Greatest Evil
about the Saloon is the
Saloon itself

Over in Dalhart, Texas, Fa thel
Patrick J Murray has been work
ing and talking against the saloon
as every good citizen be he priest
or layman will do. In a recent
address the Father told this
truth about the business:
Is the saloon business, as we
have it in Texas today, an evil
thing and a thing that cannot be
changed into a beneficial thing?
Is there no such a thing as a good
saloon? Are we not condemning
it because of it's associations?
You might as we'll talk about a
decent rattlesnake or a respect
able hell. We certainly con-
denim saloons because of their
associations; but we are not un-
mindful of the fact that The
Meanest thing about a Saloon is
the saloon itself. Do you know
what a saloon is? A saloon is a
a licensed, bonded and protected
resort for men, where, by the
use of an irritant poison known
as alconol, moderate drinkers are
first produced, and then some
of these moderate drinkers are
converted into drunkards. There
is not a saloon in Texas today
that has not purposely and
knowingly produced some drunk
ards. Five thousand drunkards a
year may not be an overestimate
of the finished product of an in
dustry, in which you and | are
as co-operators, by
granting licenses under the seal
of our state. A saloon is an ms
titution for making drunkards.
Drunkenness does not make one
respectable today. 1t does not
recommend him for a response
BILE position. 1t does not entitle
him to the confidence of his
friends. The railroad company
does not want a drunkard in the
train or on the locomotive. The
company does not
want him on the bridge. The
commercial house or banking in
stitution does not want him
handling its funds. The mer-
chant does not want him behind
the counter. The manufacturer
docs not want him beside the
machine. We do not call in a
drunken physician if we care
much for the patient. We do
not hire a drunken LAWYER if we
want to win suit. We do not
want drunken teachers in our
schools. We do not want drunk
IN judges on the bench. You
,an go right ahead and elaborate
IN that just as much as you like.
One of the strongest arguments
along that line against the saloon
nay be summed up in these
words: The saloon makes drunk
ards! the supply of drunkards at
he present time is beyond the
demand; let us close down the
works until advanced civilization
inds some use for the product.
And in the meantime let us take
good care of tue drunkards we
nave, for we helped to make
