THE LOCAL THuNDERsToRMs
"Heat" Storms Caused by Conditions
Over Small Territory

One afternoon a short time ago a
thunderstorm with quite heavy down.
pour of rain occurred over portion of
certain county in the west. The
shower had not been forecast by the
weather bureau, and few days later
letter of complaint was received, the
writer stating that the storm hadruined
q considerable acreage of cut alfalfa
that had been allowed to lay ont to cure,
as the weather forecast had said moth
ing about showers.
Be that as it may, the science and
art of weather forecasting never have
been and never will be reduced 10 the
basis of absolute certainty. The very
operation of the natural laws of the
universe preclude this and with no type
of weather is this impossibility of exact
forcasting more in evidence than in the
case of thunderstorms.
The forecasting of general thunder
storms over large areas is not so diff
cult, as these generally occur when, af-
ter a heated period, large area of
high baronletie pressure with a pro-
nounced fall IN temperature follows the
heated period, bringing with il thunder
storms and later a cool and clear period
of at least several days duration
But there are other thunderstorms,
occurring during periods of abnormal
heat, that are caused by excessive air
convection-that is, by the upward
movement of air masses that are un-
duly heated by contact with the warm
earth. These are carried upward to
such an elevation that they become
cooled by expansion to an extent that
lowers the temperature of the warm
air masses below The temperature of
condensation, and rain therefore occurs.
These heat" thunderstorms are fire.

few miles, or even a shorter distance,

not an infrequent occurrence to have a

added that these cheat" thunderstorms

The Hillsboro Sentry: "A member

close observations as to the hours of

THE LAST BIG LUMBER RAFT
Father of Waters Win See No More

One of the former sights our citizens
beheld while camping or fishing on the
Mississippi at Genoa, Victory and De-
Soto in years past were the immense
lumber and log RATS towed down the
big stream by steamboats, They are
things of the past The Lacrosse Tri-

passage of three million board feet of
lumber in a gigantic raft that went

went down August was the second

tion passed Lacrosse two weeks ago.
The 0ttumwa Bellies, famous old raft
er, showed the last raft through the
drawbrid2e. Il was more than block
long SO long that two bowbosts were
neeied-and it filed the draw of the
Lacrosse bridge from side to side.
There was scarcely six feet of water
between the edge of the raft and the
stone piers on either side of the span,
and it was a nice feat of river craft
which took the creaking, unwieldy
wooden island through without mis-
nap.
Just above the bridge Captain John
e. Moore of Lacrosse, a product of the
early days, was rowed out from the
levee to the big raft. He was invited
to accompany the last raft on its trip.

James H. Woertenoyke Of Californis
is scheduled for a series Of meetings
under the auspices Of the Prohibition
Committee in central Wisconsin this
week, speaking at viroqua, Thursday
evening, August 10, at the opera house.
Mr.. Woertendyke is placed in the first
rank of national lecturers and has an
enviable reputation in this state, which
he has visited several times. Local
prohibitionists are taking bold of the
arrangements with much vim. Some
big rallies are assured in practically

A Useful Wisconsin Invention

One of the most useful modern busi4'
ness appliances is the typewriter. To
present day business men it seems an,
indispensable part of their equipment.
Yet fifty years ago it was entirely IN
heard OF. Within Wisconsin, and by a
Wisconsin man, was this remarkable
business appliance invented. A few
years after the Civil War c. l.. Sholes,
prominent citizen of Milwaukee, be-
came convinced that the slow and la
borious process of long-hand writing
could be lightened and quickened by
machinery. He set himself to his task
with enthusiasm and, before the pass
age of many months, had succeeded in
perfecting a machine that performed
typewriting operations satisfactorily.
The Wisconsin Historical Society has
just been presented by Mr.. F. c. Sholes
of Chicago, son of the inventor, with
one of these fiirst typewriters made, q
curious old machine which but slightly
resembles the modern perfected models.

Autoes at Concert

Notwithstanding threatening wealth
er, a very good crowd attended the
band concert Friday evening. And a
fine concert it was, Introducing melodic
arrangements of many of the old songs
so close to the heart Of the American
people. Quite number of automobiles
took advantage of the new route into
the park, it proving a great conven-
fence. Owing to slippery sod two of
the machines had little difficulty in
making the grade, but this condition
will be remedied before another con-
cert. Our band played the first of
their series of concerts at Lacrosse
last evening.

BIRD LAW TO BE ENFORCED
Federal Regulations for Protection of
Wild Fowl Must be Observed

With the approach Of the open season
for shooting wild fowl, the United
States Department of Agriculture is
warning sportsmen that the federal
regulations as amended October i, 1914,
will be strictly enforced. Some mis-
understanding has arisen from the fact
that the various state laws do not al
ways conform to the federal regula-
tons. This is regarded as unfortunate
but in such cases the department must
insist upon the Observance of the fed
ersl regulations.
Federal regulations divide the United
States into two zones, No. !, the breed
ing zone, includes the states of Oregon,
Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, ILL.,
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
New Jersey, and all states north Of
them Zone No. 2, the wintering zone,
includes all states south OF those named

Found a Floater

Game Warden Curtis tells the CEN
soR that he and Warden Cranston found
the body of man floating in the Wis
consin river. They took it to shore and
notified Grant county officials, who or
dered an investigation made. Towns
along the river were notified and asked
if any one was missing. Owing to the
decomposed condition of the body but
little could be done towards identify
ing the man. AS nc one came to claim
the remains they were buried in the

later identified a. being that of Willard

IS VERY UNEVEN TO DATE
Vernon County Tobacco Crop is Not
Showing Best of Conditions

In this section of the growing district
at least, the tobacco yield Isl not what
might be wished. There are some
splendid fields, and some of such have
been topped, while other fields are very
uneven and excellent weather must
prevail for the next fortnight to make
anything of showing. Westher has
been too cool for satisfactory growth.
OF conditions elsewhere the Edgerton
Tobacco Reporter comments: Almost
week Of excellent weather conditions
has improved the prospects of the to-
bacco crop amazingly, which seems TO
be trying to catch up some Of its lost
standing. Scarcely any of the crop,
however, is within three weeks of the
harvest, while more of it needs month
or six weeks to perfect it and only a
late fall will see it through. Plenty of
warm weather from this or is also i'm.

dozen or such a matter of hail losses
have been adjusted during the week in
sections quite widely scattered. indieat-
ing that the season for this danger is

for tobacco growers viii be conducted
on an increased scale hy the United
States department of agriculture this
year. The man who conducts the local
observations at the various sub stations
is generally actively engaged in the to-
bacco growing industry. He is equip

as the plants are exposed tc One of
the thermometers is kept in shelter I'M

lected data the latter makes his fore
cast and telegraphs it to the postmas-
tiers, TO the telephone exchanges, or to
centrally located individuals in the to-
bacco growing sections. If the indica-
tons are that frost or hail storm is
approaching, the growers will be ad-
vised to cut their tobacco. The points
