need of entertainment, gratuitously

Rain is badly needed in this com
munity. In fact The drouth is al
ready quite serious, and it is remark
able that crops have matured| in a!
good condition as they have. Il
seems that while there was suffi
cient rainfall to prevent crops from
suffering materially, there has moi
for months been any surplus rainfall
This is probably the reason tina
practically all ponds and water hole
are. now dry. There is now not I
drop of moisture in many ponds tina
have seldom been dry before. Man.
springs are now also failing to pro
duce, and those that are still no
noticeably affected bysthe drouth ma,
be depended on Us sfive ones" -
