Situation Regarded Serious.

The dry weather has practically
matured the corn crop, although in
some of the late corn sections the
drought has cut the prospects to
some extent, according to the review.
Prof. J. Warren Smith, editor Of
the review, said today that drought
in this country is not often so wide
spread as the present one. He said
he would characterize the situation
serious as to pastures, meadows and
water supply.

Similar drought conditions threaten
serious damage in many parts of the
United states. the weekly weather
and crop review of the Department
of Agriculture just issued by the
weather bureau declared
Grain Crops Favored.
Late growing crops are adversely
affected. and the lack Of moisture has
materially slowed down fall seeding.
The warm and sunny weather. on the
other hand, has been favorable to
some OF the many grain crops.
Stating that light rains fell during
the week along the Pacific coast, the
review said: Drought conditions pre-

there was insufficient moisture for the

One Minute Essay

Symbols and signs believed to have
been chiseled anywhere from 400 to
10000 years ago have been discovered
on lava rocks in a remote section OF
sOwyhee county, southwestern Idaho.
The inscriptions bear striking resemb'
lance to Chinese alphabet characters.
The inscribed rocks are in the vicinity
of several caves which scientists will
explore this SIMMER. Two distinct
types Of carvings, Geographic and pie
tographie, have been noted. Arehaeolo-
gists believe the Geographic antedates
by many years the Photographic. Both
examples have been found on a single
rock. Near by is another rock with a
possible third system supposed to ante
date both the Others but which has
weathered beyond possibility of decl-
phering.
: Local Indians say the more modern
carvings are the work of their fore
fathers but assert the others are the
work of evil spirits. Resemblance of
the inscriptions to Chinese characters
is taken by some to substantiate the
theory that the early American Indians
descended from shipwreeked Chinese or
came from a race which migrated from
Asia by way of Bering strait.

nothing about boys they would have suggested
such act of dsloyaty to dogs. And then Mr. White
undertook to put show of his own and he learned
something.
He called for dog parade for the Fourth of July and
offered prize for the boy bringing the largest number of
dogs. To his asonshment and chagrin not boy ap
