somewhat married by the heavy show

There was a parade just before

number took part. A pleasing part
of this feature was the representa-

in character dress.
Following a picnic lunch, which
was eaten in one of the large stores
Prof. S. T. May, of Madison. gave a
patriotic address. The talk was vel

Huron, Sept. I'm. Il. Blystone,
state meteorological, in his report on
weather and crop conditions for the
week ending September IL. says:
The temperature during the past
week averaged somewhat below the
normal, though ii was moderately
warm during the middle portion.
Scattered showers occurred during
the week and in some localities these
were quite heavy.
Corn matured slowly over most Of
the state, though a few correspond
ents state that progress toward ma
turity was quite rapid.
A considerable amount of corn is
reported to be already safe from
frost, but the bulk of the corn will
require about 10 days of ~seasonable
weather to become safe. In some To-
c~alities a longer period will be re-
quired.
Threshing progressed rapidly with
a generally good yield of grain of
good quality.
Flax is mostly harvested.
Potatoes are fair to good.
The alfalfa seed crop Is rather
light.
Pastures are in need OF rain.
Ground is dry and u%nfavorable for

MORE men To GO
TEN MORE OF THE SECOND CALL
ARE NOTIEIED-FIETEEN
TO BE SENT.

Pursuant to an order issued by
Adjt. Gen. Morris, of Redfield, the
second contingent of Is men, 40 per
be sent from Lake county for the
first draft, are being notified to APP
pear for transportation on Septem-
Der %. The board has not notified
the whole number of Is yet, but in
session yesterday notified 10 of
them. The rest will receive notices
within a few days.
Some delay is being experienced in
notifying the men, due to the tardi-
ness of the district board in certify
ing names of men back, both those
who have claimed exemptions, and
those who have not. This board
does not like to go ahead with this
work OF notifying even those who
claim no exemptions without the au-
thority of certification by the district
board. And, too, the situation, If
they should proceed to notify those
whom they know are liable, without
receiving the Qualifications, they are
sending men out of their logical turn,
which is not the intent of the board.
While only 10 OF the list of 10 men
have been selected for a certainty,
the others will be known in a short
time, it is hoped, as the local board
has demanded certification or author
~ization from the district board. The
names of the 10 men are: Leo ker-
stein. John C. Richardson, John J.
Mahoney, Arthur G. Peterson. John
f. Potas. John w. Dooley, William
Bohlman, Lester o. Dollars, Herman
A. Auckscheim, jr., and Walter Han
son.
These men are summoned 10 Dc
ready to 90 on the morning train on
! Saturday, September %. 1t was un-
derstood that they were TO go on the
18th. but that was changed by a mes
sage from the adjutant general. Ac-
cording to the instructions they mus
place themselves in the hands of the
board the night before, but under
special request they may be allowed
TO remain in their homes until tbs
morning of entrainment. But thi'
privilege must be obtained oil the
board by special application.
