THE FIRST FROST
GOVERNMENTS RECORDS ARE
SAFE CRITERION.

Truckers and gardeners planning
for late crops should be aided in de-
termining their "best bets" on the
first frost by referring to this histor-
ical summary of frost occurrences in
various sections, just issued by the
United States Weather Bureau:
Killing frost has never occurred
earlier than September 10 south of
the extreme southwestern portion of
South Dakota, extreme southern
Minnesota, central Wisconsin, and
the interior northern portion of low
er Michigan. 1t has never occurred
earlier than October / south Of the
extreme north portions of Oklahoma
and Arkansas, southern Tennessee.
and the mountain districts of North
Carolina and Virginia. 1t has never
occurred earlier than October 20 to
the southwark of the extreme north
eastern portion of Texas, northern
Louisiana, the central portions of
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. South
Carolina, and eastern North Caro-
lima.
The chances are even that killing
frost viii not occur before Septem-
Der Is in most of North Dakota,
Montana, and the extreme northern
portion of Minnesota BY the first
few days in October killing frost oc-
ours on the average one year in two
as far south as the southern portion
of Nebraska, southern and eastern
Iowa, southern Wisconsin, most of
the interior portion of lower Michi-
igan, and throughout the greater
part of New England. BY October
Is it may be expected in at least half
the years as far south as the central
portions of Kansas, Missouri, Hi
nois, Indiana, throughout eastern
Kentucky and the mountainous sec
tons of the Virginias
There prevails in some sections a
popular belief that in the season
when frost may be expected it's oc-
currence is largely influenced by the
phase of the moon, or other periodi-
cal phenomena Careful tabulation
of frost data and its comparison with
moon phases fails to disclose any
such relation.

ASK COOPERATION
PENN COLLEGE SEEKS. SUPPORT
OF COMMUNITY.

The following letter addressed to
Secretary Shanahan Yas read before
the Commercial Club meeting Wednes-
day evening, and given endorsement
by the club: . = '
AS the time for college to open ap-
proaches we can not help but think
of the relation which the attitude of
the city Of Oskaloosa bears to the sue
cess of Penn College. zEi
The city OF Oskaloosa has many dis
,tinctive features which make her diff
ferent from any other cities one of
which is Penn College. Those who are
interested in the college should be in
'terested in the city ond those who are
interested in the city should be inter
ested in the college. Together we stand
and divided we fall.
We wish to suggest two or three
ways in which we believe the CONNER
|cial club can assist in making Penn
College the institution which such a
city as Oskaloosa deserves.
In the first place the opening of the
college year is at hand. Each year
IOskaloosa furnishes her quota of stu
dents. We would like to appeal to the
city and community to be loyal to the
home institution and give Penn the
first consideration. #
In the second place we know that
most Of the members of the CONNER
cial club are interested in good athlet-
les. From our local high school have
come many othletes who are worthy
Of playing on the best teams in the
country. Penn would like to have
these men on her gridiron, basket ball
floor and track and thereby spread the
name of our city and college in the
headlines Of the leading papers. We
certainly should see to it that these
young men have as good an opportun-
ity to enter Penn as they have to enter
some foreign institution.
Then we believe the same principle
o. patronizing home Industries should
be practiced in the educational world
as in the business world, In fact edu-
cation has become business.
The college plant which Penn Isl
in Oskaloosa is one Of
which any city in Iowa or the middle
west should be proud. We wish to
call your especial attention to the
Woman's Dormitorles. These are be-
ing constructed with funds secured by
! bond issue These bonds are now
being sold. We would appreciate any
assistance on the part Of the business
