SEVERE HAIL
INJURIES CROPS
Watermelons and Corn in La
Crosse District Damaged
By Falling Ice

Although the hail stones that fell
in countless millions in the vicinity
of Lacrosse Tuesday afternoon
were not as large as hen eggs they
were of sufficient size to damage
the corn and watermelon crops, &C
cording to Henry Bell, local bust
ness man, who was caught in the
downpour of ice particles while
driving from Lacrosse TO Ameri-
Gus in hi sautomobile.
SO large we're the hail stones and
with such force were they hurled
downward that one of unusual size
pierced a heavy glass sun protector
on Mr.. Bells car. The hole Liadc
in the sun protector is about the
size Of a penny.
"If it had not been for the sun
protector | believe the stones
would have cracked my windshield"
Mr.. Bell said. 81 talked to sew
eral representative farmers in the
vicinity of Lacrosse befer l lett
and they stated that the hail had
seriously damaged their watermelon
and corn crops"
While the Lacrosse district was
being visited by a severe hail storm,
the people residing near II. O..
Jones' farm, several miles from the
city on the Kidd's mill road, were
entertaining 35 to so miles an
hour wind storm, according to Mr.
Jones, whose corn crop suffered Sc
rious damage from the high winds.

NO FIRE ALARMS

Firemen Hope Luck Will Con-
tinue in Their Favor While
They Repair Pumper

Tomorrow Thursday will be 3
weeks since the fire apparatus has
had to respond to an alarm, accord
ing to Chief Query, who has been
keeping his men busy repairing the
big pumper and doing jobs about
the department.
This morning the fire truck used
in phmping water is torn down for
repairs, and it is the hopes of all
men in the department that no fires
will occur during the next few
days, while the pumper is dismal
tied.
at will take the men several days
to repair the pumper," said Chief
Query, "and although we would
be able to fight small fires with the
smaller apparatus, we would find
ourselves at serious disadvantage if
we attempted to control a large
blaze without the aid of the pump

ing one days, since we had to leave

1t is not unusual for the appa-

a time during the summer months.
The busiest time of the year for

DRUG PARLEY ENDS,

Convention Ratified-With-
draWaI of Porter Regretted,
Chairman Asserts.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, February 19.---The state
ment that the American delegation to
the International Opium Conference,
by its boldness, directness and de-
votion, gave supreme impetus 20 the
whole anti-drug campaign Is utterly
unchallengeable,,P President Zahle dc
clared today in his valedictory to
the conference. He characterized as
most unfortunate the incident Of tho
withdrawal Of the American delega-
ton from the Geneva meeting.
NO voice was raised, no voice can
be raised against the justice of the
principles enunciated by the Ameri-
can delegation" asserted the presi-
dent
NJ Zahle said that the only ques-
tion was as to the moment when the
American principles could be realized.
Without taking any position on the
two conflicting viewpoints Of the
conference--one favoring Immediate
action and the other demanding more
time for the suppression of opium
smoking-the speaker said he wanted
to express his regret, first, that the
Americans should have felt the ne
cessity of Withdrawing and second,
that they had withdrawn before tho
end of the conference.
Says U. S. View Followed.
The President emphasized. however,
that the conference, since the with
drawal of the Anne ricans. had tried
not only to take no action that might
make future cooperation with the
United States difficult, but had sought
to apply the American viewpoints as
far as they were understood. He said
that the conference had safeguarded
Americas right to a seat on the CEN
trail hoped
that the United States soon would re-
turn to the worldwide movement
launched at Geneva.
The speaker frankly admitted that
the American principle for the limit
ing OF the production OF opium to
medical and scientific needs was not
included in the convention as an OBJ
legation. although it had been accept
ed both by tho leagues advisory
opium committee and the assembly it
self. He said the conference had
made every possible effort. up to the
last moment. to find a solution. but
when none appeared. the frankest and
wisest course seemed to be to
strengthen the provisions of The
Hague convention.
Thinks Problem UnsoIved.
AS for the problem of opium smok-
ing in the Far East, NJ. Zahle believed
the conference had done its best, but
had not solved the great problem over
production of opium and coca leaves
nor crushed the worlds drug evil.
He pointed out that the great pub
licity given the conference had sound
ed a warning to the whole world. He
predicted the result would be the
education Of public opinion.

concrete achievements of the confer

BERLIN, February 19.-The Franco

This Is simple fact. After the
French reply to the latest German
proposal for short-time arrange

was nothing to do but to call a halt
and give the negotiators time to think
things over.
None the less the Germans are opti-
mistic. They think their success in
negotiating treaties with other coun-
tries will persuade France to "be
reasonable"
