DROUGHT BROKEN BY
HARDEST RAIN OF YEAR
Single Rain, Of Monday Night Brought
More Moisture Than All Other
Showers of Month Combinad-Rain
Greatly Aided Corn and Saved Lo-
cal Potato Crop.

The June drought locally was
broken and an incalculable amount of
benefit was done to crops by the
soaking doNnpour that spread over
probably the whole county and much
wider territory late Monday night.
The rain. amounting to 1.S1 inches,
came just in time to benefit some
crops but probably too late to re-
store others to normal condition. 1t
old not. however, lower the tempera-
ture very much except for a time
during Monday night.
This single rain. the heaviest of
the year. came in a succession of
showers until early this morning
when it rained steadily for long
time. gave the soil more moisture
than all the other showers of the
month combined Previous to Nom
day the total rainfall for the month
had been only rs OF an inch. The
rain covered wide area, a heavy
downpour extending as far northeast
as Waterloo.
Starts Corn Booming.
Altho much of the corn had not
been held back great deal by the
lack OF rain. the thorough soaking
the fields received Monday night and
the continued high temperature will
set the croA,t to booming, and. If the
mercury stkys up. will insure the
corn being knee high by July 1.
Much OF the oats probably was too
near matured to be greatly benefited
but some of 1t will be helped. The
stand in very many places was short.
in fact so short that some farmers
have expressed doubt whether or not,
1t would be long enough to pay to
cut.
The hay crop. likewise. was in
good many sections of the county too
nearly matured to be greatly bene-
flied. But clover will be helped in
many fields.
Rain Saves Potato Crop.
The rain will do much to save the
local potato crop. Reports indicated
that the tubers were setting in large
quantities, but, owing to the lack Of
rain, they we're not filling out az they
should. The rain of Monday night

THEY tell us that denying our
selves certain things helps US
= TO become stronger morally.
Yet have you ever thought how
much more firm a foundation, how
much more strong a foundation the
average home would stand upon IL
the contracting parties practised
self-denial in an effort to get the
necessary furnishings for the home
before marriage?
A woman above average intelli-
gence has just told me her tale of
matronial woe. 1t is pathetic. Yet
l am wondering If much of her suf-
fering might not have been avoid
ed If the couple had practiced self
denial before marriage in order to
get together a decent home over
which the spectre of debt was not
constantly hanging.
I'VE had no furnishings what
ever when we married. We bought
some on the instalment plan, and as
we were both very fond of good
furniture, we bought more than we
could comfortably pay for. My hus-
band earned pretty good salary and
we thought we could afford to take
a chance. Things went well for a
while, but then some of the house
hold linen began to need replacement.
and we had sickness. The cost of
living was hight. The whole
thing began to get on my nerves.
SALARY MORTGAGED.
Every time / saw my husband
smoking a 35-cent package OF Gig
arettes I could not help but rcmnl
him that If he would give up this
expensice habit, I could. perhaps,
replenish some OF the towels that
had been destroyed during one of
his illnesses. Whenever he sug-
gested n little much needed rccre-
alton, I reminded him how fur in
And so he simply got tired of hear
ing of expense, He earned the
money and Il was all mortgaged up,
and of 1t all in two years there was
not O cent he felt free to spend"
That is the tale. And so they
ouarreled. Yet these folks had
within their grasp the great gift
of happiness. The young woman
used to scoff at other girls who
were denying themselves some of
the silly things of life so that they
might have on hand some of the
staple things that every we'll regu-
lated home needs must have.
BATH TOwELS-NOT ICE CREAM.
There was Betty, for istance.
She used to spend her little saw
ings each week on some one or two
substantial things that she knew
she would enjoy later on in her very
own home. She would purchase n
pretty linen piece often for the same
money others no more wealthy than
she spent for n marcel wave at the
hairdresser's.
Betty and John had a good start
before they started housekeeping.
They owned enough towels, sheets,
pillowcases, tablccloths. napkins
and the like properly to run home
without replenishing for several
years to come. In their first. home
they began by furnishing just three
of the four rooms. They furnished
the kitchen. the bedroom, and
bought enough furniture TO get
along with for the living room.
They started with no debt. When
there was n little needed recreation
suggested there was no objection.
They owned what they had The
little savings had been set aside for
future furniture and emergencies.
And after Ave years they are get

only men may propose.
Take a case. A is a man of for
ty-five. A most unselfish, witty and
socially popular man. He would
make an ideal husband. But he has
neither money nor confidence in
himself. Consequently, he has never
earned sufficient money to keep a
wife. He has always wanted to
marry, and because he cannot his
life is being ruined. He is too
chivalrous to propose, to any girl
until he has sufficient to maintain
her. SO he remains single.
B is a charming girl, who wants
to marry, and would make an ideal
wife for A. She has money, but is
too modest to propose.
A and B were introduced recently.

would have no diffidence in pro-
posing.
