No Fear Of Famine
Result OF Cold Snap

Washington, D. c, June 10,
Officials of the department of
agriculture believe there will be
widespread damage o crops
as a result of the unreasonable
cold weather now prevailing over
much of the country. Experts
to day expressed the opinion
that there need not be fear Ct
a fruit or vegetable famine and
and said that despite predictions
of the bureau that cool weather
will continue for the next thirty
six hours, no great harm will be
done to corn and other crops.
The early spring planting and
the favorable conditions of these
crops are counted upon to off
set any effect the weather may
have.
The lowest temperature re-
ported to the weather bureau
was from the cranberry district
of New Jersey, where a mini
mum of 20 5 degrees was record
ed last night.
Temperatures below the freez-
ing point were reported.to the
bureau today from central Penn
sylvania and points in New Jer-
sey. Frosts were general
throughout tn e mountain of
Virginia and Maryland.

be saved. Let the little girl be re-
moved. Where are the ushers? /
hope she will 81 without disturbance,
but go she snalli Now, Brother Greg
DRY, sing"
As .ne song swept over the wor-
shippers In a wave of pleading, such
ushers as still remained held a brief
consultation. The task assigned them
did not seem included in their proper
functions. Only one could be found
to volunteer as policeman, and he only
because the evangelist's determined
eye and rigid arm had never ceased to
indicate the disturber OF the peace.
Fran was furious; her small white
face seemed cut in stone as she stared
at the evangelist. How could she have
known she was going to laugh? Her
tumultuous emotions, inspired by the
sight of Hamilton Gregory, might
well have found expression in some
other way. That laugh had been as a
darling Of tongue-fiame directed
against the armored Christian soldier
whose face was so spiritually beauti-
full, whose voice was SO eloquent.
Fran was suddenly aware of a man
pausing irresolutely at the end of the
plank that held her erect. Without
turning her head, she asked in a
rather spiteful voice, Are you the
sheriff."
He spoke with conciliatory persua-
esiveness: Wont you go with me,
little giri?"
Fran turned i~mpatiently to glare at
the usher.
He was a fine young fellow of per-
haps twenty-four, tall and straight,
clean and wholesome. His eyes were
sincere and earnest yet they promised
much in the way of sunny smiles-at
the proper time and place. His
mouth was frank, his forehead open,
his shoulders broad.
Fran rose as swiftly as II a giant
had lifted her to her feet. Come on,
then" she said in a tone somewhat
smothered. She climbed over the
"stringer'' at the end of her plank,
and marched behind the young man
as II ob~livioussof devouring eyes.
AS they passed the last pole that
supported a gasolene-burner, Fran
glanced up shyly from under her
broad hat. The light burned red upon
the young usher's face, and there was
something In the crimson glow, or in
the face, that made her feel like cry
ing, Just because-or SO she fancied-
1t revived the recollection of her lone
liness. And as she usually did what
she felt like doing. she cried, silently,
as she followed the young man out be-
meath the stars.
