who know about what the crop was
then. In the windows and on the
counters and desks of business places
around town are numerous samples
of corn, taken at random from vari-
GUS farms about the county, and the
grade and finish is splendid. 1t is
reported that many growers are even
now selecting from the standing corn
the seed for the coming year.
This crop has had some very close
squeaks in its starting, growing and
ripening. The spring was late, wet
and cold. The summer was favor
able, except for a threatened hot
wind, but as August closed the
weather continued cool. September
opened with cool weather, and in
places there were heavy frosts, which
struck this county only in isolated
spots. and not seriously. Then came
the warm rain, and though the
weather has been warm, ii has been
so moist as to cause considerable APP
~prehension by those who were not in
touch with the actual conditions.
This attitude was without cause,
however, and it now bids fair to come
to a most successful harvest.

in TRAIN Wreck

TURNED SLEEpElt-NO IN
JIRIES SUSTAINED.

j. c.. Schultz and wife We're involv-
ed in the wreck of a Pullman sleeper
this morning at Tracy. Mimi, while
on their way home from a business
trip to Minneapolis. The car was
turned partly Owe on its side. and
the occupants made their exit through
windows and doors while il was in
this position. There were no serious
injuries.
The train on which they came from
the cities was r%earranged in the
the yards at Tracy, and the car i'm
which they were sleeping was taken
in front of a switch engine TO be
placed in the train. thereby obscur-
ing the headlight of the engine.
There was a freight ear partly over
the switch which their car had tC
cross. The corner and end of the
freight ear was torn off by the i'm
pact. and the corner of the sleeping
car stove in. and the ear itself turned
partly on its side. Mr.. and Mrs.
Schultz were on the lower side of the
car in its new position. and with diff
ficulty made their exit, but without
further misha~ than a few bruises
and considerable fright.
Mr.. Schultz says that there have
been a number OF such incidents in
the freight yards there, and it is
growing into a confirmed habit.

GOOD CORN ASSURED
FIFTY PER CENT OF CROP IL
NOW ASSURED-TWO WEEKS
MAKE BIG CROP.

Good news Of the condition of the
corn crop is borne to us by persons
who have done a good bit of travel
ing about the county, and by grow
ers who visit the business places in
the city. The general deduction
drawn from the mass of evidence
that at the present time so per cent
of the corn crop is beyond the effect
of frost. A week will place rs per
cent to the safe side, and 10 days or
two weeks will result in, as one of
the growers enthusiastically express
ed il this morning, "A swell crop of
corn"
Great interest lis evinced in this
crop this year. Other crops have
been wholly satisfactory, and 1t need
ed but this crop to make the total
agricultural produce of Lake county
to be a marker in history. 1t is stat
ed that the crop is better-assured
safe corn-than any other since the
one of 1912. This is atttested by
men who are growing it, and men

NENT NUMBER TO GO ON
OCTOBER 3.

The second part, or 40 per cent,
of the quota of men to be supplied
by this county for the draft, num-
bering Is men, 10 Of whose names
were published in The Daily Leader
Saturday, are receiving notice from
the local board to present themselves

to Woonsocket, where they will meet
a special train from the north On

of certified names from the district

draft. There is a portion of the
names certified up previously by this
board, which the district board has
not certified back. The next number
to be sent will be selected from that
certification.
There is a strong current of senti-
ment among business mel to give the
men some kind of recognition Satur-
day. The plans are not yet formu-
lated, but it is recognized hat such a
move would be wholly desirable. and
that they be given what comfort
could be got together. both material
and moral. 1t is probable hat they
will be given a feed either under the
management of the Red Cross or the
Merchants association. and that they
be given some of the small things go
ing toward making comfort kits for
the men.

GERS said today that it was thought
that the number would be equal to if
not in excess of the registration of

that there would be less young men.
Due to the demands of both the war
and the scarcity OF labor. young men
are not registering in numbers that
they have heretofore.

i'm the new model school will come TO
order for work. Work of building on
the model building and of repairing
on the buildings of the Normal, has
been brought to completion, or AT
such a stage as to allow of using all
the buildings.
There are no changes in the fac
ulty this year in the sense of any of
the older instructors or officers be
ing displaced. Miss King has been
added TO the Normal faculty to in

FINE MONTH FOR CROPS
August, 1917, One of Best in History,
Weather Man Says.

August of 1917 was one of the cool
est .wettest and best crop growing
Augusts experienced in Kansas, &C
cording to the summary of daily rec
bureau issued here today by 5. D.
Flora, meteorologist. Only two other
Augusts have been cooler while three
have had more rain in the thirty-one
years the statewide record has been
kept, according to the summary
1.-THE rains were widespread and
general almost from the first of the
month";" continues the August weather
summary, land severe summer drouth
was effectually broken by the end OF
the first week. The average rainfall
over the eastern third of the state was
554 inches; the middle third, 5.22
inches; the western third, 3.S3 inches,
and for the state, 4.94 inches, or 100
inches above normal, making it the
heaviest precipitation that has fallen
in Kansas in any one month since
June of a year ago and more than
July this year.
1.-The excess in moisture extended
to all parts of the state except the
north-central and northwestern parts,
where there were a few counties that
had less than the August normal. The
heaviest amount reported for the
month was 1920 inches at Macksville
in Stafford county, and the least 1.5s
inches at Leoti, in Wichita county.
Measurable rain fell on more days
than in any previous August on record
Temperatures were below normal
two-thirds of the month and the
monthly means were below in all
parts The highest temperature re-
ported was 100 degrees at Phillips
burg on the fourth and the lowest AZ
degrees on the twenty-eighth at La
Crosse and on the twenty-ninth at Jet

1.-The winds were unusually high
even for August, and the sunshine was
also-below normal. but adequate fol

THE revival of crops after the
rains began was almost magical. Past

DIVIDE WAR SP0ILS
Austria Gets Nine-tenths of Russian
Poland.

Zurich, Sept. ACCORDING to in
formation received from Vienna, Ger
many will annex one-tenth of Russian
Poland and Austria will annext the
rest. Emperor Charles will promul-
gate a decree uniting Russian Poland
with Galicia and proclaiming the
whole territory united kingdom,
with himself as king.
The new Hapsburg Poland will have
its own parliament, but its foreign
policy army and finances will be con-
troIled by Austria The immediate eff
feet would be to make the Poles liable
to military service in the Austrian
army.
1t will also involve removal from
the Austrian parliament of deputies
representing Galicia, giving the Ger
man parties in the reichsrat numerical
preponderance.
