TWENTY INCHES
OF RAINFALL
Record for Crop Growing Season
This Year Proves Itself to be
Without Parallel

The official record of the sub-station of
the U. S. weather bureau located at
Langdon shows that it rained seventeen
different days during the month of July
and during August there were twelve
days on which a rainfall was recorded.
Added to this the first half of September
shows seven day out of the fifteen on
which there was a rainfall. Thirty. five
days in all on which rain is reported as
having fallen during the grain ripening
and harvesting season, while many Of the
other days were moist and cloudy, but
with not sufficient rain to make a record.
Since the first day of July the clear
days, that is days clear throughout the
twenty-four hours we're few and far be-
tween. July gave US 5.25 inches of rain
on the level. August 81 inches and
and the first half of September 1893
inches, making a total of 1888 inches
rainfall since July LIST. To this may be
added in order to complete the rainfall
of the crop growing season of 1912 the
record OF the spring rains of April, May
and June, 7.4l inches, which added to
the late summer and fall season rains
make a total from April LIST to Septem-
Der 18th of 20.3O inches. Considerable

In order that he might have more time

The consequence was that an hour

COMMUNICATION

Editor Courier-Democrat:-
Ihe bootlegger and tin horn gambler
is a menace to every community. He
follows in the wake of honest and in
dustrious harvest hands. He mingles
With them and claims to be their cham
plon. He even urges them to work oniy
for topnotch wages. He lies in wait for
them on Saturday night, wet DAYS and
Sundays with his tanglefoot rot gut and
poker chips, He wants the hard earned
money, n ii the harvesters and police
are not on guard, he's going to get it.
His methods are varied and most un-
~scrupulous. He stops at nothing, not
even at murder. Officers everywhere
should double their force if necessary
and their vigilance and gather these
l1eches, parasites, human wolves into
the fold. No use to send them on, for
they start up somewhere else it is their
business-Hannah Moon.
am enclosing you a copy of an
editorial that appeared last week in the
Hannah Moon. 1t calls attention to a
matter that is of vital interest to u
farmers and business men. The farm
ers and threshers do not want to have
their hired men filled up with booze and
lncapacitated from work every time the
machine stops, nor does the business
man want the money received for this
all good crop taken out of the county
and state by gamblers and booze ven
doris. 1t is money that should come to
MIN IN payment of old debts, and in
purchase of new goods. It is the aim
OF Sheriff Drury and myself to prevent
all gambling, bootlegglng and blind
plgglng, and we wish to call upon all
local officers and all good citizens to
help us. Concerted action by all will
make it comparatively easy to keep out
these law-violators, and to keep the
money at home for the farmer, business
man and honest laborer.
In this connection | would like to ask
you to publish the following extracts
from our laws on these subjects, and
which l think, if generally known to the
people, would be of material aid to the
officers in enforcing the law.

exceed $50 or by Imprisonment in

enforced against the hobo who hangs
around the town and practically refuses
to work for any wages. Such fellows
are here for something else than manual
