Many stories Of big poker games

tanned more than thousand head OF
cattle. When they came to the
crossing Of the Arkansas river near
Coolidge they found food on.
They were unable to cross for two or
three days. To while away the time
the two men engaged In q poker game.
When the flood finally subsidized so that
the cattle could proceed one Of the
cattlemen said ito bis son, who was
helping to drive: Just turn my herd

Weather Chief Promises Relief

WASHINGTON, July 13.- Chief
Willis L. Moore of the government
weather bureau today issued a sign
ed statement explaining the cause
of the hot waive of the last ten DAYS
and telling why he believes relief is
at hand
For a prolonged period" says the
chief, ''the barometric pressure has
been above normal over the Atlantic
ocean and low over the northwest
ern portion of the American conti-
nent. The international weather map
of Wednesday showed a reversal of
this pressure distribution-an ex-
tensive area Of high barometric pres
sure appearing over Alaska, while
the pressure over the middle latitude
of the Atlantic ocean has fallen be-
low normal. This changed pressure
distribution is strongly indicative of
the dissipation of the warm weather
over the eastern states and the mid
die west in the immediate future
and period of moderate temperature
in these districts lasting through the
remainder of this week and contin-
uing into next week"

35 silos from these forms will be built
this season
The forms are located at Superior,
Ashland, Wittenberg, HortonviIle. Bur
lington, Baraboo, and Cottage Grove
and arrangements to have them sent
out to the farmers around these plac-
es can be made by writing the Col
lege Of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin.
Five silos, one each at Portage,
Baraboo, Hortonville, South Milwaukee
and Cottage Grove, have already
been completed from the forms. The
first of the forms was sent out in
March. In May four were in the field
in June five were ready for use, and
this month all seven are being used.
There are now more applications than
can be filled this season, but or
ders are still being taken for next
season, which will open in March
An elaborate explanation of how to
make the silos from the forms is con
tanned in the new bulletin on Con
crete Silo Construction, just issued
by Prof G. A. Ocock of the College
of Agriculture
