Seymour Bond, who has been at
work on an invention to thwart the
German submarines, has sent in the
drawings to Washington and the first
of the week received letter ackowl-
edging the receipt of them. Thousands
of inventions are being turned into
the government each month and these
are carefully gone over by the experts
who will use them if practicable. Scy-
mour will give out nothing on his in
vention and does not expect to re-
ceive any remuneration if it proves
successful.
The city officials do not propose to
have the electrOllier standards at the
intersections damaged If they can help
it and this week they have been paint
ed white so they will be visible to
drivers of machines. Several of the
standards have had to be replaced
during the past few weeks on account
of being run into by machines. Drivers
complained that the posts we're not
plainly visible after dark and it was
decided to paint them white. The
electrolliers at the intersections pre-
sent such fine appearance that it
might be we'll for the. city officials
to so ahead with the improvement and
paint all of the standards and make it
a truly white Way"
The intense heat of the past week
was broken late yesterday afternoon
by fine rain storm which was worth
thousands of dollars to the farmers of
Crawford county. The hot winds dur
ing the past week were seriously af-
fecting the corn which would have
been damaged considerably if rain
had not fallen. Farmers report small
grain to be exceptionally good this
year and right now they are in the
midst of harvesting. Slight damage
from hail during yesterdays storm is
reported in districts west of town. The
rain came as a great relief to the peO-
pie Of DenisOn, who have been swelt-
ering for over a week. The mercury
has been boiling around the century
mark for the past three or four days
while folks have been fairly sizzling
in, hn 'Tn1av is o1rnNct ideal
and the weather man predicts cooler
weather for the balance of the week.
Local coal dealers aer worried over
the coal situation and fear that they
may be unable to take care of their
customers this winter and are urging
their patrons to put in their winter
supplies at once in order to make
room for more coal at their bins on
the sidings. The government has fore
ed maximum price of coal. The peo-
pie have responded by refusing to buy
storage coal now that the danger of a
rise in price is past This is danger
Gus. A low maximum price doesn't
prevent coal famine. A fixed price
will not get coal if none is to be had.
1t only says that for the coal avail
able mine owners may charge only so
much Nothing has been done so far
to fix the retail price. That may go
up. If you want coal, remember that
to produce and distribute it the mines
must have miners and cars. Both are
alarmingly short The best way to
avoid a coal famine this fall and win
ter is for the consumers to take part
of what they will need now when the
miners have time to mine it and when
the railroads can transport it. Dcni-
son people should investigate the sit.
uation now before it is too late.
