IMMENSE LOSS
DUE TO FROST
Millions of Dollars Damage
in Northwest.
CORN CROP IS KILLED
Minnesota Agricultural Expert Places
Loss in North Star State at $5O,000,-
600, but Damage in Other Nearby
States Is Much Less.


St Paul Sept 11.-Millions of dol
lars damage was done to the corn
crop and to late garden truck in Min
nesota, North Dakota, Northern Iowa
and Northern Wisconsin by a killing
frost, accor ling to reports received by
the United States weather bureau.
This is the earliest killing frost
known in the official history OF
weather in the Northwest, covering
a period of forty-five years, and il
lacks two days of being a month

Professor A. D. Wilson. chief of the

$50 100000 This is a loss of one
half, as the crop has been valued al

mate on reports received by telephone
from farmers in Redwood and Olm
sted counties, which are in the sec
ond tier from the southern boundary
of the state, and from the best basis
for estimates of frost damage in the
Minnesota corn belt. If frost kills in
these countries, Professor Wilson says
it is a very good indication that the
entire corn section has suffered. His
advice from the above counties was
that the temperature was down to 81
and that corn had been killed.
The frost was general throughout
Minnesota and the immediate North
west, but ii is believed most of Iowa
South Dakota, North Dakota and East
ern Wisconsin escaped because of suf
ficient wind to prevent radiation.

Washington, Sept II. What pur

peace terms has been circulated
among diplomats here in the past two

The origin of the so called terms
was not disclosed, but they are said
to have been written by Foreign Sec

to Vienna. which since has been point
ed to as Strengthening the probability
that they bear evidences OF authen-

Briefly. the so called terms were.

in some cases the parents :dmltted
that their offspring was beyond

appear in the Police Court to answer
the charge of assault on pupils. On
one occasion teacher was lined IN

other cases the Police Court dlsmls-

These troubles are occasionally IN

that the vast majority Of these COM

GERMANY'S DILEMMA

There was nothing that the Ger
man Chancellor could say without
very great danger, and therefore he
said nothing. He is waiting for some
thing to turn up.
AS is suggested by an exchange,
there has been something ridiculous
about the German proffer of peace to
the allies from the beginning. None
Of its enemies have asked Germany
for terms. The allies have stuck to
their policy of driving the Germans
out of countries where they have no
right, and, have at no time shown
any Encouragement or intimated any
desire for peace until the Germans
shall be elected from foreign coun-
tries and put back where they belong.
Yet ever since the falliof 1915, Ger
many has been offering the allies the
peace terms for which they have not
asked, and in which they have not
shown rhe least interest. No one

but when they are drawn, as IN the E

Now if individuals or organizations
