LIGHT FROSTS VISIT
MOST UT NEBRASKA
Corn Crop Not Injured, is General
Opinion Of Railroad Men and
Grain Dealers.
MARKET DISCOUNTS DAMAGE

Light frosts were general over Ne
braska and Iowa sunday night, ac-
cording to morning reports to the
railroads. In this state the frost line
extended as far south as Wymore in
Gage county. AS rule, the opinion
among railroad and grain men Is that
II was not heavy enough to injure the
corn crop.
An index of the opinion of what
effect the frost will have upon the
corn was visible on the Omaha grain
market at the opening session. As re-
ports OF frost came in, corn COM
menced to bulge and sold UP cent
from the prices last Saturday. Later,
damage reports were discounted and
prices quickly went back and trading
was slow.
There WIS no frost In Omaha.
train men during the day and after
getting reports from their agents out in
the state and over IN Iowa, practically
NIL assorted that the frost was not Sc
we're enough In any locality to iniure the
corn. A good many of them asserted
that II would prove beneficial, as Il
would stop the rank growth and aid
ripening.
Experts Optimistic.
With one exception railroad men arc
optimistic. Discussing tho frost and the
prospective damage, Frank Walters, gen.
eral manager of the Northwestern, said
"A light frost will not do any harm
IT will tend 20 stop the growth and
hasten the ripening"
Fred Montmorcncy, assistant general
freight agent OF the Burlington, said
No damage will be done by light
frost. 1t is Just what ia needed at this
time. 1t will ripen up the corn"
Charles J. Lano, general freight agent
of the Union Pacific said.
Corn is not far enough along to escape
much damage by even n light frost"
Low Temperatures.
According to the railroad reports the
coolest spot I'm Nebraska Sunday was
at Oakdale. There the mercury went
down to S6 degrees above zero. Other
points where temperatures were consid-
cred low for August were: Broken Bow,
81; Harrington, IS; Tekamah, 80; Sargent,

CORN CROP HOLDS ITS OWN
Report to Burlington Indicates Fa-
vorable Conditions, Except in
Southern Part OF State.
WHEAT BETTERs EXPECTATION

The Burlington's crop report for tho
week ending last Saturday indicates a
favorable condition for corn throughout
the state, with the exception of on the
Wymore division in the southern part
OF the state, where rain was frequent
and heavy. ranging from one to two and
one-half inches. The prediction with ref
erence to corn generally is that the whole
problem is one of weather. With dry and
hot weather, a bumper crop is looked for,
but should it continue wet and n killing
frost occur before September, lot Il
soft corn is looked for.

Dredoe as a Life Saver.

When Anson Rabuck, fourteen years old. fell into the SusQuehanna river at Klines Grove. Pa. the other day he did not reappear and men and boys grappled and dived for the body.
 Three hundred feet down stream a coal dredge was working, and in few minutes the digging machine threw the little fellow up on the screen, ap- parently dead
 His frantic mother, who lives close to the stream, urged that they try to save the boy, and half dozen men took turns under her directions, at using first aid to the injured meth ods." After half hours work the boy showed signs of life and by eve ming was able to eat his supper.
 Doctors said that 1t was one of the rarest cases of resuscitation that they ever heard of.

WAYS OF AVOIDING CANCER
New York Board of Health Has Issued Warning Which Is Worth Careful
 Attention.

The new York board of health has issued a circular warning the public of the increasing danger from cancer From this 1t appears that at the pres ent time one man in every fourteen and one woman in every eight over the age of forty die of cancer. Can eer claims 75,000 victims every year in the United States.
 The board of health gives some ex- cellent suggestions as to the best way to avoid cancer. The most important of these are not to permit any irrita- tion of the tongue by contact with broken or decayed teeth. and not to neglect any swelling of the skin. lips, tongue, etc.
 A wart on a child is rarely anything but wart: on an adult it is likely to be the beginning of cancerous growth.
 In it's earliest stages cancer can generally be cured by a simple op- eration; in its later stages 1t is gen erally incurable. though some forms of it in some parts of the body have been eradicated by the radium treat ment
