he and large majority of the House
hoped to raise a million dollars in
taxes off the shoulders of the people,

Watermelons are selling all over
the state and the commission men are
paying the farmers good money for
their fruit. And the traders in wild
cat stock are sitting around like SO
many hawks, ready to pounce on any
credulous man with a roll. We'd ad-
wise people out in the country, if such
men come among them to run them
back into town.

Some of the promoters of wildcat
stocks who have been operating IN
this territory have proclaimed that E.
A. Osborne, one of the best business
men in Ocala, has invested thirty
thousand dollars in their green goods.
Anybody who knows Mr.. Osborne
knows he wouldn't buy thirty cents
worth of such stuff, but the promoters
are using his name to impose on ig-
norant people.

MIDWEST IN
HEAT WAVE
TORRID BLAST TAKING LIVES
AND DAMAGING CROPS

Chicago, July 1.-THE midwest Mis-
sissippi valley states are in the grip of
heat wave that not only is taking
lives and daily establishing new tenn
perature records, but that threatens
to seriously blight the various crops.
Reports today from Iowa, Illinois,
Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota
showed temperatures ranging around
the 100 mark and in a number of
instances the mercury has passed that
points
In Wisconsin and Iowa and other
scattered rural communities day time
work on farms has been Suspended
and fields are being titled and crops
harvested by moonlight. Opinion
was unanimous that the torrid wave
was fastening the maturity of the
corn crop and that production, un-
less relief comes Immediately, will
fall far below expectations.
Temperatures in Iowa have been
steadily ascending for the last four
days, reaching their climax Tuesday
and today. In Clinton, the mercury
passed the 100 degree mark early to-
day. Burlington established new
heat record at 101 degrees. Daven-
port, recording 101 degrees, reported
its hottest da yin ten years. Cedar
Rapids reported 103, while all other
cities reported the mercury lowering
about the 100-degree mark.
Illinois was getting the same dose,
with a high humidity pressing down
as the temperature rose. At Dixon
a new mark was established at 104,
while Springfield, Rock Island, Mo
line, Champaign, Rockford and
score of other downstate cities re-
ported temperatures above the 100
mark. AT Rockford the temperature
has reached 104 degrees two consec-
utive days, with the minimum above
go. In the last four weeks only five
days have been under 90.
Five Deaths i'm Chicago
Wisconsin points all reported ex-
cess temperatures, ranging around
100, with the exception of Green Bay,
where local rain and electrical
storm last night forced the mercury
down to IA.
Five more persons succumbed to
the heat here today, as the mercury
in the government thermometer
again passed the 80 mark, with the
humidity heavier than at any time
during the recent wave The wealth
er dopester had said that no relief
was in sight.

MONSTER |CEBERCS
ARE SIGHT Ed
THEY HAVE BECOME A REAL
MENACE TO THE SHIPS TRAV-
ELING THE NORTH ALLAN
TIC.

Boston, Mass, July 14.-Icebergs
of unusual size and number, one OF
them estimated to contain enough ice
to supply the homes of large part
of the country for the rest of the
summer, have been encountered by
the United States coast guard cut
ters Seneca and YamacraW which are
policing the ocean steamship lanes.
Since early February the United
States government, acting under an
international agreement and at in
ternational expense, has maintained
the annual iceberg patrol. The coast
guardsmen have helped many ves-
sells osteer safe course through
the danger zone. Some have been
eXtricated from serious positions,
others have been warned when they
were headed for the ice.
The open winter caused a large
number of bergs to break away early
and drift south. They have become
an abnormally serious menace to ma
vigation, according to naval officers.
Many are of huge dimensions.
The giant of all the icebergs is de-
scribed by Lieut.. Com. Il. Fl. Smith,
navigator of the Seneca, as approx
mateIy one-third of a mile long and
towering seventy-five feet above the
water. This berg remained in sight
for nearly a month, during which
time it travelled 800 miles. The va
garies of the ice movements are
shown by the fact that another berg
circles about the vessel, covering 80
miles in three days.
At times the patrol boats have
gone alongside the floating refriger-
ators to obtain cracked ice for the
wardroom or huge chunks which
could be melted to replenish the
fresh water supply.
Although plans for riding the seas
of these dangers to navigation have
often been proposed, the coast guard
officers insist the icebergs "still rule
the northern sea-" They are await
ing with interest reports of expert
ments made by the destroyer Breck-
enridge which sot several bergs with
torpedoes. Some of the coast guards
men are frankly skeptical of this
plan and insist that a torpedo would
make no more impression on an ice
berg than popgun would on a
mountain of cotton.

NORBECK SEES
RELIEF AHEAD
SENATOR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA,
ON BRIEF VISIT HERE, FORE
CASTS CONGRESSIONAL
ACTION

Sioux Falls, July 14.-Relief for
the acute financial situation in South
Dakota and other agricultural states
is in sight, said United States Senator
Peter Norbeck at the Cataract hotel
this afternoon. 1t may come slowly,
Just how soon no one is in position
to say, but the senator is optimistic
and sees signs that indicate a gradu-
al lessening of the bars that bind
the farming situation.
Senator Norbeck came In from the
Black Hills where he has been TAX
ing his first vacation in several years,
to make a flying visit to Sioux Falls
on his way to Washington. He will
move his family there in the fall, he
said, and stopped over one day at
Redfield.
"The most encouraging situation"
said Senator Norbeck, that I see is
the gradual lifting of the stringen-
cies imposed by the federal reserve
bank system. The banks of the
country will be gradually better able
to care for the needs of their pa
irons.
"Of course the big need here is
the farm loan but look to see some
relief in the very near future. Great
bodies move slowly and congress is
no exception to this rule but the
members are thoroughly impressed
with the need and will meet il
Il look to see readjustmen, OF
the freight rates on the railroads
shortly which will mean relief to
many lines of industry. 1t will not
nkeiy be any big slash but am con-
fident that change will be noted"

Railway EmplOye
Gets Prison Term

Watertown, July 14.-Arthur An
derson appeared before Judge Skin
ner of the circuit court in this city,
and pleaded guilty to the charge OF
burglary in the third degree. He was
sentenced to one year In the Sioux
Falls penitentiary, and In addition
was fined $3.50. The penitentiary
sentence was suspended In case the
fine was paid within ten days and
provided the prisoner obey the laws
hereafter.
A number of extenuating circum-
STANCES were made known in the case
and were taken into consideration
when sentence was passed.
H is story as told in court was sub
stantially this: Mr.. Anderson, an
employe of the Great Northern road,
was drawing a very small salary. BY
frugal living and guarding closely the
exp ense of the family, he and his wife
were endeavoring to buy a little
home OF their own. 1t was hard
times, and the outgo in spite of all
they could do, ate up the meagre
sala ary. Unexpected expenses occur
red. Mr.. Andrews collected some
money for the company, used 1t for
pers onal debts. The day of account
ing drew near and he did not have
the money. In his desperation, he
cone eived the plan of robbing the till
at he depot. Unskilled in crime az
he WAS, 1t was easy to trace the crime
back to him.
Anderson will be taken to Sioux
Falls this week.

HARVESTING IS
AHEAD OF TIME
BALTIC VICINITY REPORTS
GRAIN IN GOOD CONDITION
FARMERS INSURANCE
90. MEETS

Baltic, July 4.-Harvesting is on
in full swing, full two weeks ahead
of usual time. Rye and early oats
were pretty much all cut last week,
although few belated fields still re-
main. Rye is absolutely perfect
crop this year-perfect both in quail
ty and yield. Weather conditions
have been ideal for its growth and
maturity, and that's had much to do
with the fine results. There's more
rye grown in this locality this sea
son than ever before, and the ten
dency is toward a constant increase
in future years.
Early oats is not the best, although
not to be considered a failure. The
crop was hurt some during the last
week of the recent dry spell, and
there is also considerable rust in IL.
which caused it to be a little light.
Barley is ripening fast and most of
1t and some late oats will have to
be cut this week. Barley is also
fine crop.
Reports about late oats are much
more favorable than the earlier sort;
1t was greatly benefited by the re-
cent rains, while they created a won
derful revival in all kinds of vegeta-
tion. They were especially beneficial
to late oats, corn, potatoes, garden
truck and pastures.
Threshing machines are being re-
paired and fastened into requisition,
and several of them will probably be
humming by the last of the week.
