WINTER WHEAT
STO0LlNC WELL;
RYE EXCELLENT
Government MeteOr0lOgist Re-
ports on Conditions Up
to May 80.

Weather during the week ending
May 80. was generally favorable to
| crops and to stock, according to a
report issued by William 4. Lathrop,
government meteorologist at the\ Helena
office of the weather bureau. Fruit
trees in the orchard districts r re-
ported in bloom.
The report follows:
The weeks weather was. on the
whole. very favorable for growth, and
grass and crops made good progress.
Temperatures averaged moderate, al
though the range was large, running
from the vicinity of freezing point to
well up into the eighties. Western and
central sections had from n to three
good warm days. The eastern section
was warmer than the others.
Warm Winds Reported
Strong warm winds are reported to
have dried the surface appreciably, even
to the extent of causing Il hard crust
to form in some localities. which young
shoots could not pierce, but moderate
to heavy rains came OPPORTUNITY and
relieved the situation. The heaviest
precipitation Of the week was 10 at
Dillon on the 9th. Moisture appears
now to be generally plentiful. The
weeks sunshine was somewhat de-
~ficient, although some reoprted it ample.
Field work vas carried on vigorously
and to excellent effect. Some all-night
work was done in the east.
Ranges and pastures continued to
improve and are excellent. The i'm
provement of livestock has also con-
tinued and they are in good TO fine
shape. Landing is nearly done. The
more favorable recent weather in the
northeast is overcoming the weight of
the previous losses in the seasonal
proportion.
Winter Wheat Is Good
Current reports indicate a great
deal of reseeding of winter wheat in
localities. but the general condition of
the winter wheat is good. 1t is s~tooling
out well. Winter rye is good to ex-
cellent. Spring wheat seeding is prac-
tically completed and the crop is in
excellent condition and growing rap
idly. The same is reported Of early
oats. The other small grains. corn, and
flax are going in fast. Potato planting
continues. Potatoes and gardens are
growing nicely. Alfalfa is making
normal growth. and hay is coming up
fast. Peas are doing exceptionally well
in the Bitter Root valley; in some
Yellowstone valley localities they have
been retarded in termination by a lack
Of surface moisture. Fruit trees are in
bloom

WHY l CANNOT COME.

February z, 1922.
To the People of Minnesota:
I have received many generous
invitations urging me to come to
Minnesota and make speeches dur
ing the pre-Convention campaign.
Consistent with my duties, | do not
see how it is possible for me to do
so. We have before the Senate
the Cooperative Marketing Bill, in
which the people of Minnesota are
d eeply interested. The treaties
framed by the Limitation of Arma-
ments are now before the Foreign
Relations Committee of which / am
a member. Following that will
come the Bonus Bill, the Tariff Bill,
the Farm Credits Bill and other
matters of very great Importance.
l think the people elected me to
stay here and attend to my duties,
instead of making a campaign for
reelection. / regret exceedingly
the want of opportunity to meet
with them and to speak to them.
l think this is useful to the Senators
as well as to the people, But in
these times | cannot, merely on my
own account, leave the Senate.
should be pleased, if it were pos
sible, to place before the voters my
views heretofore expressed d
those which | hold upon the great
puplic questions confronting the ma
ton; but, beyond the generosity of
the newspapers, it is not possible
for me to do so.
By my failure to visit Minnesota
| do not wish anyone to feel that
L am Indifferent or unappreciative
of the. generous support and con-
fidence which have been given me.
The only compensation public man
has, is the confidence and esteem of
the people whom he represents, and
as | must rely upon the voters in
each county to select delegates re-
presenting their views, l shall APP
preciate it very much if you feel
that my record in the Senate justi
fies my reelection.

Once there was successful busi-
ness man. He had money IN the
hank. a shiny limousine, and a dis
agreeable disposition. The boys IN
his outer Office called him Mr..
Smith" to his face and THE Old
Sardine" behind his back. They
said he couldn't drink milk because
it always soured when he looked at
it He was strong for number one
and had no us e for sentiment.
Business is My Business" was his
motto. Helping folks along just
made 'em want more help, he IN
sisted, and as for friendliness, he
never could reduce his income tax
by fooling with that. He never
said anything with flowers, not even
to his wife, who was afraid of him,
and he wouldn't have any of this
fake Santa Claus talk around his
establishment. His children were
taught to look after themselves and
never to worry about the other fell
low. He wouldn't throw any good
money away on the Boy Scouts or
the Red Gross or any other mandy
pamby charity, and as for this good
fellow talk at Christmas time, he
just naturally left such things to
the "wimmen." Politics was en-
tirely for the grafters, according to
his code, service to the public for
them that liked it, and religion for
them that couldn't manage their
own affairs. "I'll show EN-" he
said, land keep plugging along in
my own way" the very morning
that apoplexy came along and
doubled him up for keeps. The
papers noted that he was dead, and
the only man in town grateful to
him for having lived was the un-
dertaker.

The Minnesota Legion Memorial
Hospital.
On February 18th, at Rochester
Minnesota, the Gopher Legion Ex-
ecutive Committee arranged for a
campaign to erect at Rochester a
Minnesota Legion Memorial Hos
pital to be constructed in 10O-bed
units, each unit costing $250,000.,
two such units being authorized at
this time.
For the past two years, the Will
liam Mccoy Legion Post of Roches-
ter has manfully shouldered the bur-
den of caring for the thousands of
former veterans from all over the
state and nation who come there
every year for treatment, the aver
age being from $50 to 200 each
month. But William Mccoy Post
cannot carry this heavy burden in
definitely
Once erected, approximately s16.-
oOO per year will operate this hos
pital, which amounts to an average
OF S31 for each of our 500 Mime
sofa Legion posts-less for the
small posts and more for the big
posts-which means that by paving
this annual sum, any Minnesota post
can place the sick veterans or their
families of the community on a
train for Rochester, knowing that
upon arrival they will be met by
Legion representatives and receive
the best hospital nursing care and
medical and surgical treatment that
the world has to offer-that of the
new Legion hospital in cooperation
with the world famous Mayo Bro
theirs Clinic.
II sick veterans or members of
their families are able to contrib
ute to the support of this Legion
nospltal IN return for their service
rendered them, they will have that
privilege, thus tightening the bur-
den OF each Minnesota Legion post,
put II they are unable to pay, of
which fact their Legion post will
judge, they will receive the same
prompt, careful, and expert treat
ment, without cost. Tentative nlans
also provide that any Minnesota
Legion post or any Legion most or
Legion department of the nation
may donate an amount sufficient TO
endow a sperial bed for buddies
they may send to Rochester for
treatment.

needed to erect the hospital in.

A fool there was and his pipe he lit

Of spark-and the fool he fur

The day was windy and dry.
The forest was burned to its very

Old hoary oaks, and the tender

His payday comes no more

Where the cooks tin pan woke the

But the mill is silent, the trees are
gone,
The soil and the forest floor.
A deadly sight are those hills of
rocks
Which once were beds of green
No hope for the human, no food
for the blocks,
The floods must be held by expens-

And the harbor is silted to the

The ships no more are seen.

Leaves camp fires burning too,
While the patient puplic pays the

NONE CAN EXPLAIN "AURORA"
Northern Lights Said to Be Due to Passage of Electricity Through
 the Air.

The aurora borealis Cor northern lights) is occasionally seen in the north temperate zone and frequently in the polar regions It is said to be due to the passage of electricity through the rarehed air of the arctic zone. The name aurora borealis" was first used by Cassendi, who, in 1921, observed one in France, and wrote q description of 1t. The 'au- rora" Is periodic in it's manifestations, the finest displays being at intervals of 60 years, and less marked ones at intervals of 10 or II years. It IS also asserted that these greater and lesser displays correspond with the increase and decrease of spots on the sun. The phenomenon Is generally manifested in the following way: A dim light appears on the horizon shortly after twilight, and gradually assumes the shape of an arch, having a pale yellow color, with Its concave side turned earthward From this arch streams of light shoot forth, passing from yellow to green and then to brilliant violet The name aurora australis tor southern lights) Is ap- piled to similar phenomenon visible ir the vicinity of the South pole.

When Jokino Is Dangerous.

Husbands should be careful how they spring jokes at the table. And wives should be alert on guard against the consequences of surprise that amounts to shock In certain cases-such as that at New York re- gently, for instance.
 Men who toss off jokes at the table and cause their wives to laugh so sud- denly that they pull a piece of meat into the trachea and choke to death have a grave responsibility. Of course, the habitual joker who gets fresh stock every week runs no such risks. His wife Is immune to laughter at his funny cracks,' and stands in no dan ger.
 But fellows who are pleasant only once in long time, and who pull a joke perhaps twice in a lifetime should time their efforts so that their wives have not mouthful of meat handy to pull into their windplr es. For that Is not what windpipes are for, and they resent intrusion of solids.-Ex- change.
