LITTLE RAIN IN SEPTEMBER.
Only About One Fourth the Normal
Amount and less than One Seventh
that of Last September

September has been an exceptionally
dry month, there having been only "A
of an inch of rainfall up to Sept. %,
according to records kept by F. r.
Vaughan. Last year during the same
month the precipitation was 5.34 inches,
which was more than double the aver
age for September. During the last
seven years the normal rainfall for the
month has been 2.S2 inches which is
little more than seven times that for
the same period this year.
AS a result all of the streams are very
low and springs in the country are re-
ported as getting shy of water, but the
dry spell has had its beneficial results.
A. w. Sweeton, county agricultural
agent, says it is just what was needed
to ripen the crops. Corn and beans es.
pecially, he says, need dry weather to
ripen to best advantage. 1t also ha:
helped the potato crops to a marked
degree as with too much moisture spuds
are apt to rot in the ground.

Reward for Capture of Deserters.

Gov. H. F. Graham received Saturday
from the war department telegram
that q reward of $50 will be paid for
men who are called deserters. The
telegram explains who are termed de-
serters under the new regulations, name
ly: Persons who do not respond to the
notices sent them by the local boards
that they are to report at specified
time for war service, or persons who do
not report to the adjutant general when
he notifies them that they are to report
for duty. Individuals as well as Off
GERS, are urged to assist in rounding up
these slackers, now termed deserters.
1t is shown that if they did not will
fully avoid service, it will make no diff
ference in the payment of the reward.
The deserters are to be taken to the
nearest post or mobilization camp,
where the reward will be paid.

it was found that 227 telephone men

ually calls along about the 18th, was
among those aiding in the raising of
the fund This fund is to be used as
a mess fund" for the telephone boys
called into service, and to purchase
other little articles, such as are not
generally supplied with the usual
army "regalia."
The News has always had whole
some respect for every employee of
the telephone company, but this latest
demonstration of their ability to do
things" and to do them at the right
time and in the right way makes the
feeling even stronger
You'll always find the telephone

(P st is just barely possible
that this little bit of news, which we
secured uneensored, was not intended

accustomed to such actions.-Ed.l
