HEAVY FROST DOES
NOT IAJURE CROPS
Northwest Has Cold Spell
and the Price of Wheat
May Advance Soon.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. 24.-General
frosts were experienced over the
Northwest States last night with the
cold wave extending down through
Wisconsin and Michigan to Iowa, llli-
nois and adjacent states. Tempera-
lures yesterday through Minnesota
and the Dakotas averaged from 30 to
So. and on the Canadian side the range
was from "a to so, as nearly as traders
in grain could learn.
Heavy frost was reported from Du-
luth in this state and Dickinson. Lis
bon and Napoleon in the Dakotas.
Grain spectators here and at other
markets we're not inclined to attach
much Importance to the damage by
frost, but it is admitted that before
the week ends it will be found that
the damage will be found serious
enough to advance prices to consid-
cradle degree.
Encouragement was given by. numer-
Gus dispatches from the Canadian
Northwest which showed that the
wheat crop either had been harvested
or had progressed too far to be affect
ed by frost. Prominent officials of
the Canadian Northern Railway, who
have just returned to Winnipeg from
an extended tour of the grain-produc-
ing district. said they did not believe
the frost had done any damage.
They estimated the crop of the three
provinces at 225.OOO,OO0 bushels and
added that the amount of breaking of
new ground exceeded that Of any seas
on and would mean greatly in
creased acreage next year. The Off
cial forecase for the Canadian North
west is for fair weather and slowly
rising temperature. but the change is
not perceptible tonight. according to
late dispatches from Winnipeg.
Wheat pit advices from Chicago an
nounced that the frost had made slight
difference in the trading there, the
range covering V and * cents, with
net gains at the close of Il for Sep
TENDER and December delivery and u
cents for May
B. w. Snow, the Chicago crop ex-
pert, does not share the general opti-
mism and points out that under SINH
lar circumstances he failed to gather
a bushel of marketable wheat from a
big tract that was apparently safe the
night before slight frost, which had
the effect of whitening the milky kerr
nels beyond any hope, although this
was not fully apparent until threshing
time. q

Dainty pieces Of china and sparkling
gems of cut glass tastefully arranged
bespeak q housewives sense of the

the care Of chinaware and cut glass is
freedom from dirt and grease. the enc

regard can be obtained by the use Of
Hewitt's Easy Task Soap. It loosens
the dirt and cuts the grease, bur does
not scratch. Costs five cents and

TEXAS WILL VOTE ON
The LIQUOR QUESTION

ton July 22 now ordered is the full
fillment Of the peoples demands.
An Indication Of the probable vote
July ~ can be had from the result
Of the primaries. North Texas cast
majority vote for the prohibition
candidates, while South and South
west Texas went overwhelmingly for
the anti candidate, although these
districts contributed largely to the
submission vote Leaders Of both
sides take this vote as indicative, the
prohibtionists stressing their cam
paign in South Texas and the antis
carrying their campaign with increasr
ed vigor into North Texas.
1t was i,oted that the prohibition
amendment resolution provides that
in the event prohibition shall receive
the majority OF the votes said
amendment shall be declared adopt
ed" Just what effect this attempt
to make the amendment self-enact-
ing may have has not been determin
ed Some say this provision is in
conflict with the last clause in the
constitution providing the governor
shall issue a proclamation declaring
the result Of any election upon an
amendment Though there Is no pro
vision for the governor in the reso-
luton whatsoever, most people think
the intent is the same as the consti-
tuition. 1t is question that might
possibly be raised before the courts
in a contest. If there is any doubt
about it. it is a coup for the prohibi-
tionists, for they couched the Ian
guage of the resolution.
