In the attendance contest which
the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs started
on February first, to run for the rest
of the year, it looks as if the Kiwan-
ians have given up, for they have not
reported their attendance for thirty
days and at the last report the Rota-
rians were leading by a good safe
margin. Their one hundred per cent
and 95 per cent meetings must
have discouraged the Kiwa ians con-
siderably, but since one hui red per
cent are the aim Of the Rotarians
they are not satisfied with anything
short of every member being at his
seat wher the roll is called.
Tuesday morning Rotarians George
Summer and Zach Wright had Secre-
tary Hal Kohn wire for their reserva-
ton on the special Rotary train which
will leave for Los Angeles for the
Rotary convention on May thirtieth.
They will join the party in Asheviile,
where the train stops for several
hours to allow those going to stop ov-
er and be the guests of the Asheville
club and at special luncheon. The
DELEGATES from Newberry will be es-
corted to Asheville by local rotarians.
Harry Dominick and Ben Dorrity
have already promised to take load
of Rotes to speed our delegates on
their way, other cars will probably
go in the escort.
The Rotary committees appointed
for the administration of President
Hask Kibler are: Publicity, Bill Wal
lace; music, Earle Babb and James
Kinard; public affairs, Zach Wright
chairman, Nc Mower and Ben Dorri-
tv; educational, Ben cromer chair
man, Doug Weeks and Henry Wells;

had a novel way to appoint his COM
mittees this year and instead of nam

WILL THE TRAGEDY OF
ISRAEL NEVER END

Since December, 1918, there have
been more than 1000 separate and
distinct programs, large and small,
in the Ukraine. 1t is known that
25O,OO0 Jews in that country have
been murdered. Countless others
have been cruelty manned, hardly a
woman in the land has not been vlo-
lated, practically all the 3,500,000
Jews alive in the Ukraine are home
less, starving, half naked, and i'll.
Three hundred thousand innocent
babes in Central and Eastern Eu-
rope, whom the war and the beasti-
atty of pogrom-makers have robbed
of either one or both parents, cry
aloud for help. They stretch out
their puny, emaciated hands to US
in America and they cry to us for
help.
These are not exaggerated figures,
inflated for the purpose o. propagar-
da. They are conservative estimates,
based on the reports of trained social
workers, American investigators who
have spent fro none to three years
abroad as representatives of the joint
distribution committee through which
the American Jewish relief committee
extends its aid to the war-str;cken
people Of Europe And wha- 90 they
report?
: DR.. Frank Rosenblattt, who has Just
returned from the Ukraine, reports
that there are 100000 war orphans in
that county alone 1t IS there in the
Ukraine, where Jews have been
slaughtered in the thousands and tens

children will die within the next few
months. No power on earth can save
them, and unless America acts quick
ly. unless there is an immediate and
overwhelming response to the appeal
of the American Jewish Relief COM
mittee for 100000 their fate will
be shared by thousands upon thous-
ands of other orphans.
Then there is soviet Russia! No
one knows exactly what is going on
behind the curtain Of mystery which
has hidden Russia from the worlds
gaze for so many years, but there are
hundreds of thousands of Jewish
children dying in that territory, ac-
cording to reports that have come to
us. There are 10000 Jewish orphans
in Poland and theresare thousands Of
Jewish orphans in Austria, in Hun
gary, and all over Europe.
There are jewish orphans on ev-
cry highway and every byway of Eu-
rope. You can see them on the u1-
friendly streets of the big cities, beg
ging for crusts; you can see them in
the cities and towns which have been
devastated by battle and pogrom,
searching among the ruins in the
hope of finding a BIT Of stale bread,
or something that will satisfy their
terrible hunger; you, can see them on
the roads, you can see them in the
field and in the forests, digging for
rootsy eating grass or herbs. And al
ways they are feverish, always their
teeth chatter with the cold which
bites deep into their bodies, only
half covered with the pitiful rags
they wear. Why, thousands of these
babes saw their homes go up in
flames; thousands of them saw their
brothers and sisters killed before
their eyes; saw their fathers killed,
and in the ears Of thousands there
still rings the shrieks of their moth
ers driven insane by the horrors of
pogroms.
Many of these children, no one
knows how many, have wandered
hundreds Of miles away from their
b.rthplaces, and all of them are with
out shelter, without protection, with

as the JOINT distribution committee is
taking care of 10000 war orphans in
Europe. Twenty thousand! Why,
that's less than twice as many as

A
RECORD MONTH
n1eUnusuaLFea-
lures of Weather
Are Noted.

A summary of weather conditions
prevailing here during the month OF
September has been compiled by
Meteorologist H. Merrill Wills, of Du-
buque, showing vagaries and changes
of Importance during the month just
past The summary is compiled from
a chart prepared during the month
and is as follows:
Temperature.
The first eight days OF September
were unusually warm, after which
moderately cool weather set in and
continued until the goth inclusive.
The twenty-three was warm and also
the last two days, but the remainder
of the third decade was mostly seas
enable, although the minimum for the
month, 80 degrees occurred on the
25th, and light deposit of frost was
observed in exposed places. On six
of the first eight days a maximum of
80 degrees or above was reached and
a new record for September was set
when the temperature rose to SO de-
grees on the sixth, the previous high
record being 81 degrees on Septem-
Der 10, 1895.
Precipitation.
The total precipitation for the
month was almost up to the norma.
but the rains were infrequent, the
bulk of the months fall occurring il
two comparatively short periods, the
8th, 9th, and the 18th, 10Th. During
the former period to total of 1.GL
inches fell, and from $40 to 8:55 p.
N. and also 1915 to 1890 p. NJ, the
rain fell at an excessive rate. No
measurable rain fell during the last
decade, and there was need for more
moisture at the close of the month.
Thunder accompanied the rains of the
8th, 9th and was also heard near mid
night of the 18th and 18th.
River.
The Mississippi river stood at very
low stage the first two-thirGs OF the
month, the lowest being 1.5 feet on
the Sth; and was only slightly higher
during the last third, during which
period it exceeded two feet, remain
ing at the maximum of "a feet from
the 22nd to 25th, inclusive. The av-
erage was 20 feet, and there has been
but one lower mean stage for Septem-
Der, that being IL feet in 1910.
Weather and Crops.
The maturing of corn progressed
normally and entirely without injury
from frost, many fields being almost
ready for husking by the end of the
month. The condition of the soil was
somewhat improved by the rains but
more moisture was needed for p1oW
ing. Meadows and pastures revived
after the rains of the Sth-9th and
1Sth-19th but were still short. Po-
tatoes and truck crops were still
short Potatoes and truck crops were
benefited in many cases but in others
the rains came too late. Fruit was
plentiful. The roads were quite dusty
during the first week, then were
muddy for a few days followed by
more or less roughness for about
week, then muddy again from the
18th to goth, after which they grad
ually wore down and continued good
until the end.

Seed Corn Picking Time Again.

Seed Corn Picking Time Again.
Many fields of corn this year show
ed a considerable amount of root rot,
according to it's development.
Root rot is germ that is in the
soil and apparently thrives better
some seasons than others and when
Prof. Vaughan of the State Depart
ment was in Grant county and exam
ined a lot of fields of corn he found
root rot in nearly every field and he
said the only thing that we can do to
combat it is to rotate rs much as
possible. This germ enters the plant
while young and destroys lot of the
smaller roots and gradually works its
way up the stock and affects the
whole stock. 1t cannot be detected
from any outward appearance except
that the corn does not thrive, but by
pulling up the stock and cutting
through the heart of the plant and
cutting down to the base it can be de-
tected in the joints as they are black
ened by this disease.
The question probably will arise,
what has that got to do with the pick
ing of seed corn? Seed corn will be
picked from the whole field and
stock of corn might be somewhat af
fected with root rot and yet grow
good ear, but it will lack vitality and
therefore, should be weeded out by
thorough termination test in the
spring of the year, and any ear that
does not prove to have good strong
seed should be discarded. Knowing
this to be true it will be necessary to
pick a much larger amount of seed
corn than if this disease was not evil
dent. Therefore, it is a wise plan to
pick three of four times as much seed
corn as will be needed so that the
weaker corn can be discarded and
plenty of good strong seed will be on
hand.
Much work is being done in the in
vestigation of corn root rot and it is
hoped that some developments will be
made to combat this disease The
state of Illinois is already developing
strains of corn that they claim are
resistant to the root rot similar to
the work done on tobacco in this
state.
This is no idle thing and we need
to recognize it. Grant county being
q great corn producing county will
suffer very much in the future If care
is not taken to combat this disease,
and one of the easiest ways of COM
batting it is to pick plenty of seed
corn so that only good strong corn
viii be planted. 1t is uniform stand
that gives you good yield, good corn
with LIS of all the hills missing does
not give a good yield, and the man
that grows the largest number of
bushels of corn per acre has full
