night who is without a more or less

The firing was at 200 and 400 yards

the fact that after having completed
their work they returned to camp and
took up signalling and other branches
of the service.

22O 900 ushe Crop May he
Badly Damaged.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. l5.-Corn, Ne
braska's big crop, estimated at GEO.
100000 bushels, is in grave danger from
frost. According to experts the corn
will require at least two weeks more of
hot, dry weather to mature.
With the ground thoroughly soaked,
rain falling every day and the equl-
noctial storms but one week distant.
there Is much doubt that the crop will
ever come to maturity. There was slight
frost in the northwestern part of the
state last night and some damage re-
suited. A heavy frost before the corn
is matured will practically ruin the en-
tire crop.
