HEAT BROKEN; RAIN FALLS.
Torrid Wave Ends; Temperature
Drops and Brinqs Shower

The torrid wave was broken locally
Monday and was followed today by
rain. which Monday visited other parts
of the state. Starting with tempera-
ture at o'clock Monday morning that
indicated high temperature for the
day, the mercury went only to 81 and
dropped to 70 In the night, while a
cooling breeze that sprung up from the
north Sunday night continued to blow.
The range Monday compared with 80
and 10, the extremes Sunday.
This city and its vicinity was missed
! in the quite general local showers and
| rains that spread over many localities
of the state Monday. The rainfall
here was only trace. But as near
| west as the western part Of the coun-
ty, and at Ames a good shower fell.
Likewise in the northwestern part OF
state, from Eldora and north to Mason
City, rain fell. East of the city at
Cedar Rapids and in the southeas stern
part of the state soaking rains cooled
| the earth.
Rain began falling in the city at
about 10 o'clock this forenoon and con-
ditions indicated that the rain might
| develop into a soaking shower. The
| rain will be of great benefit to the corn
and other crops. The temperature al

The break in the torrid heat wave
and the soaking rain that began fall
ing in this city and county this fore
noon was worth an almost inestimable
especially corn. 1t interfered with
threahing wheat and oats, and may re-
suit in some damage to those grains
in the shock, but the loss resulting will
be as nothing compared with the gain
from the benefit to the corn.
Corn fields in the county had begun
to show the effects of the heat and
drouth, and in widely separated spots
the corn had begun to curl and even
fire. In places, and especially along
the edges of some fields where the
leaves were least protected from the
suns rays leaves of the corn plants
had begun to curl. The damage done,
however, was not serious or extensive.
Another few days of 100 degree wealth
er without rain, would, however, have
shortened the crop materially.
But as one farmer expressed it to-
day: Iowa always delivers a rain ten
minutes before a drouth does damage"
Farmers who had early paintings of
corn that had made excellent growth,
were especially concerned during the
drouth when their fields began to show
tassels. 1t was feared that the terrific
heat would wither and burn the pollen
and affect the development of the ears.
While some slight damage from this
cause may have resulted it was Meth
er widespread nor serious.
In addition to benetting the corn.
the rain was greatly needed in the pas
lures, some of which were turning
brown and drying up rapidly. 1t vii.
probably be too late to help the potato
crop to any marked extent.

REALTY MARKET SLOW.
Volume Of Business Fair, But Inter
estinq Deals Are Lacking.

There was a fair volume Of business
in the local real estate market during
the week ending Monday, but there
were very few deals in city property
that were of interest. The quietness
Of midsummer and a super heated sea-
son was noticeable in the trading in
property.
Practically all of the city property
that changed hands was either vacant
lots or residence property of small
value. There were no large deals.
Several tracts of farm lands were
sold. but the most of them were small
deals. There was one exception. IT
was the sale by F. B. Parsons to w
w. Myers of 154 acres. just east of the
town of Cleuons. The price indicated
in the deed was s24,4S5, a per acre
price of S15S.
Property of a value of $46,642 was
sold during the week, compared with
s2S,120 for the week before, $50,140 for
the corresponding week of June, and
s5S,465 for the corresponding week of
July, 1915.
