RAIN RECORD UP TO DATE
CROP FAILURE IN SOUTHEAST

The rainfall received by the govern
ment gauge at the Dickinson experiment
station for the evening of June 14th
was IA inches. which makes a total
precipitation of AL inches since March
list. or 70 per cent of the normal rain
fall. Going back to January list, our
precipitation figures IS per cent of nor
NAL.
Readers must take into account the
fact that this is the rainy season in
North Dakota and that while our rain
fall figured very nearly normal the first
days of June. the percentage is now
changed.
A late government bulletin from
Washington gives the startling informa-
ton that drought is general throughout
the United States, t a greater degree
than has been known in years. It is
severe in many eastern states and in
Missouri. Oklahoma, Tennessee and
Arkansas it is acute. This report says
that the entire Atlantic states are far
below normal rainfall.
However, in Western North Dakota,
as will be seen by our report by counties
elsewhere. the conditions are much
better than they we're j year ago. Wheat
is probably looking the. best. and II
favorable conditions prevail for a month
or six weeks more q GOOD. crop will be
harvested.
1t was unusually dry last fall and
during the winter and it may! be that
the drouth will break 0 and that
here will be an abundance of rain
everywhere.

lows:
do not relax your vigilance be-
cause cool weather is at hand. The
ilies laden with germs are trying i'm
every way to obtain the protection OF
stores and dwelling houses. They are
especially attracted to places where
they viii have an abundance of food.
But do not let them! Screen them
out! Swat them!
But this is not all of the danger
from uncovered streetstands. If that
were all, ii could easily be remedied
by screening. The dust raised by the
passing teams and wind. settles upon
them and renders them dangerous.
Some articles may be rendered safe by
washing, but all articles sold in such
places, can not be washed. All such
articles sould be protected from dust,
especially those which are usually
eaten without washing.
DO not use food which has been
handled. Promiscuous handling means
germ laden food. Do not buy food
which has been so handled. 1t is dan

NO DANGER OF WAR.
Major League Managers Laugh at Talk
Of Trouble.

Cincinnati. o., Sept. 5.-The talk of
war between the American association

war comes on September 10, the Amer

the same old lines. according to August
Hermann, Ben Johnson and Tom
Lynch. the three high men in baseball.
The American association is said to

town. President Hermann as much
as said today that he dared them to
secure II.
AS II looms up now the American
association will not get single de-
mand at all. the commission seemingly
having thrown down the gauntlet and
dared the minor magnates to break the

DISPLAYED FOOD MUST
BE COVERED HEREAFTER
DAIRY AND FOOD DEPARTMENT
ANNOUNCES NEW RULING.
Handling OF Produce in Markets Also
Vigorously Scored.

Under n new ruling of the state
dairy and food department. all gro
GERS. butchers. bakers and dealers in
fruit must exercise more care than
ever by covering the veget l5lcs, fruit
andi other foods they display here
after. None of 1t can be exposed to
dirt and flies or unsanitary conditions.
This action on the part of the de-
partment is based on section 497 of
the compiled laws of the state of Mich
igan as amended i'm 1905. The law
gives to the department general super
as cleanliness and sanitation are con-
cerned. During the past few weeks
the dairy and food inspectors have
been giving an unusal amount of at
tention To the conditions under which
food is displayed, sold and delivered
For the first time they have made a
more careful study of the subject and
the ruling of the department is the
result.
1t means that bakers must carry
baskets or trays. It means that neither
cookies nor meats can be placed where
ifles can feast without hindrance:
more than that, it means that gro
GERS and fruit dealers cannot keep
fruit in places where it will be unclean
and unsanitary.
Deputy Inspector John II. Rowe of
Laurium has been very vigilant in the
enforcement of the law in this section
this summer. but ii is likely that he
will be even more so from now on,
as n result of this ruling.
In bulletin just sent out by DR..
Dixon. secretary of the state board
of health, attention is again called
to the danger from the fly and from
dust also to the unsanitary conditions

While it took Gotch II minutes and
Is seconds to gain the first fall, the
second fall required only 5 minutes

The first fall resulted from a reverse
body hold after the men had struggled

gone 8 minutes. 80 1-5 seconds. Scarce
