A break In the heat wave which

week, came this morning, when the
wind veered into the west, and clouds
which brought scattered showers,
blew over this section. A high bar
ometer is showing UP in the west,
according TO the local weather bu-
reau. which will mean considerable
relief from the heat for the next few
days.
The indications are for fair and
cooler weather tonight and tomor-
row. Showers which were badly
needed. have fallen in the Dakotas.
and in the west, which has been
parched under the July suns rays.
There are general showers all
through this section, although no IN
liication of any severe storms.
Keokuk ~as one of the four hottest
spots in the country yesterday. The
mercury registered 100 at keokuk,
Des MONIES, Kansas City and at
Omaha, according TO the official gov

The cool weather Of today came as
a welcome relief for everyone. For
over a week the weather has been
hot and sultTy. and Saturday, Sunday
and Monday were especially hot days
with the mercury lowering at the
century mark or close to it While
there was little rain today, the cool
ing OF the air offered a breathing
spell to parched gardens and fields.

Government agents were tnvesti-

importuning farmers to let their
crops rot in the ground
Little had been directing the mine
strike here since his arrival from
Arizona. from where he was deport-

miners TO attack those who worked
and urged Finn women to do picket
duty and to attack miners, II was
