Ire report of the weather bureau for

day is also given the greatest range
of the month, SO degrees. The amount
of sunshine for the month was above
the normal by five per cent.
There is nothing about the looks
of Kendall's drug store at present to
betray the fact that it was recently the
scene of a bad fire. The last rem
liant of damage was removed the last
of the week when a new plate glass
was put in the north window.
We are in receipt of the Congress
sional Record for July Goth, containing
the speech of Senator Sterling upon
his unwillingness to support the tariff
measure before the senate. In his
argument he inserted a letter written
by our Prof. Shepard regarding the
possibilities of Jul growing sugar beets
in this state. 1t is in line with the
senator's argument hat the sugar beet
industry should be protected.
Brookings and vicinity has been in
the grip of a real hot spell during the
past week. The sky has been practi-
cally cloudless each day and the sun
has been given a very good chance.
However we have nothing to complain
of for it has been hotter in towns in
the western part of the state and in
Kansas it has been 70 hot that the
are drying off the trees. Corn
is considered to be as good as it has
ever been in this vicinity and some
claim it is a full month ahead Of any
like time in years past. Harvesting
is advancing nicely and the thresher
will soon start up.
Quite a large number Of Brookings
people went to Elkton Sunday after
to attend the ball game between
and White. Elkton won the
game 6 to 4, with the score 4 to 4, in
the eighth inning. With the exception
of Brookings there have been some
good ball teams in the county this
year and it would seem that IL the fair
association would see fit to have a
county tournament or some
thing of a like nature at the county
fair it would be a strong drawing card.
Volga, Aurora, Bruce, Bushnell, Elkton
and White have all supported teams
this year and they have all played
pretty good ball.
