Warmer Weather, Rain,
Need of Indiana Crops

A summary of weather and crop
conditions in Indiana for the week by
J. H. Arlington, OF the Indianapolis
weather bureau, follows:
Except on Friday and Saturday,
very cool weather prevailed through
out the state during the week, with
minimum temperatures at some sta
tions on Monday and Tuesday morn
ings near the frost limit. No frost
was reported from any place, how
ever, and because of abundant sun
shine, which was far above the aver
age, corn, tomatoes, late potatoes, on
ions, sugar beets and other growing
crops made good advance, and are in
good condition, as a rule, except in
the dry areas. Local rains fell on Sat
urday or Sunday in the northern half
of the state, affording sufficient mois-
ture in most places, but the western
tiers of counties generally are much
in need of rain, and some firing of
corn is reported.
Wheat thrashing was practically
completed during the week at some
southern points and oats cutting in
the north will be finished within the
present week and thrashing is COM
mencing with very satisfactory yields
For all growing crops warmer wea-
Their is needed, especially for corn, to-
matoes and tobacco. The growing
season to date has been much colder
than that of 1918 and 1919, although
the deficiency in temperature is not
so great as that of 1917.

Wisconsin Promises Big
Potato Crop This Fall

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 5.-Potatoes,
generally regarded as a food staple,
but more. recently forced into the lux
ury class by high prices, will soon
sell for half their present price, it
was predicted today by officials of the
division of markets and the state ag-
ricultural department
Wisconsin, the banner potato state,
will soon harvest its greatest crop.
According to officials there will be
no holding back of the crop this year,
and the bulk of it will either be on
the market or enroute by Christmas
Losses through dry rot suffered by
farmers last year have served as a
lesson" it was said
The division of markets will devote
much of. its time to see that the po-
tatoes are properly marketed. Under
new state law the division can pros
recute growers who hoard foodstuffs
to force up prices.

Polygamy is Reduced in
PHILIPPINES BY Education
(By Associated Press)

MANILA, P. l., Aug. 5.-Practice of
polgamy in the Philippine Islands is
being reduced through education of
girls of the leading families of the
outlying provinces, according to Frank
W. Carpenter, retiring governor of the
Department of Mindanao and Sulu.
Mr. Carpenter is here to turn over
administration of his Office to the
Secretary of the Interior The Sultan
Of Sulu renounces all pretensions to
temporal sovereignty but gains recog-
milton as ecclesiastical head of the
Moha mmedan church in the Sulu ar
chipeligo. The treaty guarantees to
the Sultan and his people the same
religious freedom had by all adherents
of all other religious creeds, the prac-
tice Of which is not in violation of the
basic principles of the laws of the
United States"
1T is important to note" said Car
renter in one OF his messages written
as governor, that this includes the
abandonment of polygamy There can
, be no question that it will disappear
as the relative number of persons of
tie two sexes reach an approximate
natural equality
Mr.. Carpenter said that girls of
i prominent families in Mindanao and
| Sulu are being sent TO Manila public
schools whore they associated with
| Christian girls. The girls are advised
TO adhere strictly to their own Mo-
| hammedan religion as their influence
, it is said, would be destroyed if they
abandoned it. When they return to
THEW own people their Influence tends
to eliminate plural marriages.

Nobleman Deplores
SPANS Indifference
To Blind Citizens
(By Associated Press)

MADRID, Aug. 5.-Twenty-fi thou
sand sightlesS persons are added to
the population of Spain every year
owing to inattention to cases of small
noX, measles, scarlatina, meningitis
and the after-effects Of sexual NAL
aides, writes a Spanish count in Ell SOL
The count asks why Spain thus
makes people blind and then abandons
them to a life of miserable mendl
cancy in may cases. He points out
that they are neither properly cared
for nor educated SO that they may
take care of themselves.
He says most Of the institutions for
the blind, and there are many such
esta blishments in the country, with
rare exceptions are inefficient and an
tiquated with teachers lacking the
necessary training. The blind are
taught very specifically basket and
box-making or the most elementary
music.
The count deplores "the traditional
ignorance of the Spanish authorities
which do not heed or take advantage
of the experience of the United States,
England and other civilized countries
In dealing with the blind"

ASK COX TO STAND
FOR NATION. LEAGUE;
"DELAY DANGEROUS"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Am
erican Rights League, an organization
whose membership includes many pro-
fessional and business men scattered
over the country, today sent to Gov
ernor Cox, the Democratic nominee
for president, an appeal that he stand
flat-footed for the league of nations.
The appeal was signed by George
Haven Putnam, president of the
league The communication says:
"The coming presidential election
will as heretofore, be decided by the
Independent voters. The obedient
party man can, as always, be trusted
to give his support to the regular
ticket without raising question as TO
the wisdom Cor lack of wisdom)
shown by the bosses in the selection
of the candidates or in the shaping OF
the party policy as expressed in the
platform.
Plea for League
But the Independent voter is In
terested not in the triumph of one
party machine or another, but in the
assurance of a wise, safe and patriotic
national policy on the essential issue,
or issues of the day; and he will give
his vote to the candidates whose plat
form and whose utterance make cledI-
cut and unmistakable acceptance OF
such policy.
1.-THE essential issue of today Is, In
our opinion, the acceptance by the
United States Of the league of nations.
The question for the voters to decide
is, shall the United States, which was
shamefully and dangerously late In
taking it's part in the world war, con-
tinue its shameful and dangerous de-
lay in taking up its share of the work
of assuring a worlds peace?
tt'The league Of nations, with twenty
eight signatories, has been constituted
and Is, under serious difficulties, be-
ginning its work
Germany and Turkey have not yet
been able to prove that they possess
stable civilized governments capable OF
fulfilling their obligations; while
Abyssinia and Dahomey are not in
terested in the purpose of the league.
a Now Up to v. S.
at is for the United States now to
decide with which of these three
groups it will associate itself.

degenerates of both sexes, who have
chosen the schools as a fruitful field
for their operations.
