FIVE STATES WHITING

BIZ United Prrss
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Weather pre-
dictions of fair and warmer"
brought despair today to farmers of
five midwestern states where crops
are whiting under one Of the most
protracted dry spells in the memory
OF the oldest residents.
Pastures, as well as corn and other
late crops, are reported suffering
from the drought in Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Michigan and Wis
consin.
Butter and cream records showed
an almost Unprecedented decrease
in dairy production, due apparently
to poor pasturage.
Fears Worse Drought in August
c. A. Donnel, federal weather
forecaster for the Chicago district,
said rainfall in the five states dur
ing July was only 35 per cent of
normal. Many localities, he said,
have had no rain since early last
month.
Drought conditions may be aggra-
waited during August. Donnel said,
by record hot weather which would
draw even more moisture from the
parched ground. He predicted less
than normal rainfall for the next
month.
Precipitation for the rest of the
nation was about normal during
July" Donnen said. but in the arid
section of the midwest the rainfall
in several localities was less than
half of normal.
For the entire year the decrease
has been about q per cent and for
July the precipitation was even
less"
Records of the weather bureau
here show that the driest place IN
the midwest is EStherville, Ia, where
no rain has fallen since July 8.
Sioux City, Ia. Urbana, Ill, and
Terre Haute, Ind, have had no rain
for three weeks.
Unusual Conditions
Unusual locations of low and high
pressure areas are responsible for
the drought in this section" Donnel
said. Millions of tons of water have
been evaporated from the upper
Great Lakes this summer, but the
resultant rain has fallen in other
sections.
"A consistent high pressure area
in the southwest which defies ex-
PLANTATION. is one reason for the con-
tinued drought"

side arm and stiff arm with the hand closest
to the opposing tackler Any shifting of the
ball is a risky maneuver, however, and the
young players should not attempt it without
a great deal of practice.
The use of the stiff arm comes natural to
some players, but any boy can learn it by
practice and proper instruction. AS the OPP
ponent gets close enough to tackle, the free
arm is thrust at his head or shoulders, keeping
him of at least an arms length.
Combining proper use of the stiff arm with
fast clever lodging viii make any backfield
man hard to stop In the open field. Dodging
is one of the most effective ways of eluding
opponents, and all the great open-feld run
ners have this ability to a considerable degree.
The change of pace is also effective. II is
executed by the runner slowing his speed or
increasing it just as he is about to be tackled.
This makes the tackler miscalculate the posi-.
ton. Side-stepping is used by many great
open-feld runners with a great deal of sue
cess. OF course, the ideal back of this type
combines speed with change of pace the
ability to dodge and sidestep, twisty hip move
ment and the use of the stiff arm.
great many of the best open-fleld runners
have been famous halfhacks. While they are
OF all builds and sizes, some of the greatest
stars have been tall and rather slim. A good
halfback should have great speed or at least
great agility and quickness, and he should
have balance, being able to keep his feet like
a cat. Because he Is in every play either as
runner or blocker, he must be tough and sturdy,
able to stand abuse. Needed mental attributes
are intelligence, alertness, courage and deter~
minatiOn.
Finally, the ability to kick and pass ef.
fectively makes q halfbaek all the more valr
liable TO his team.

EVEN the best open-field runners are of little
value to their team unless they know how
and when to use their interference. Sometimes
a coach who has an unusually brilliant rum
will give him unusual amount of free
dom in his running but the ordinary player
will ruin his chances of success by forming the
habit of leaving his interference.
A back can make himself difficult to tackle
by learning the use of the stiff arm and tha
art of doging. The stiff arm is very effective
against opponents who are poor tacklers, or
who tackle high The runner must learn to
shift the ball from one arm to the other, SO
that he can keep free the arm between himself
and the would-be tackler.
Many players who use the stiff arm effectively
carry the ball in both hands until they are
about to be tackled, then shift it to the OUT

ing. little Johnny, her youngest brother, had
been under her feet in the kitchen all afternoon,
insisting on sampling everything that he was to
get for supper.
AT last she was ready to 60 and she would
have to hurry to be at the recreation room of
the church by $50, when the social was sched-
uled to commence. But 1t was not far to the
church, and it still lacked minute or two of
$50 when she was crossing the street to
reach it.
Her eyes fell on an expensive automobile
parked before the door. She recognized it as the
Harker car. How wonderful it must be for Don
Harker to be able to drive to even simple So
cial in car like that!
If Dorothy had been watching where she was
going, instead of feasting her eyes on the Car,
the tragedy never would have happened. But
she not watching and SO she tripped over
the curb. She did not fall, but the precious box,
which she was carrying carefully before her,
slipped from her grasp and fell into the gutter.
With a cry she bounced upon 1t and picked
it up. Then her heart sank, and tears welled
up in her eyes. The beautiful red ribbon was
stained with mud, and one corner of the box
was crushed.
TOR moment she considered turning around
and going home But she refused to give
m to the HOPELESS Disappointment that gripped
her. Bravely she walked into the church, fixed
up the box as best she could, and placed it on
the table with those of the other girls.
Hello, Dorothy!" Fac Linton greeted her.
Then her eyes fell on the box. "Oh, whatever
happened?"
Dorothy told her. Fac sympathized with her,
and finished by saying: Your box looked just
like mine before you dropped it. The same size,
and a red ribbon just like mine"
The reception room was already filled with
merry boys and girls, and the auctioning Of the
boxes was about to commence. They gathered
around the platform on which the table bearing
the boxes was set. and Mary Craig president OF
the girls class, mounted chair.
"An right" she called Remember that no
girl is allowed to tell any boy which box is hers.
OF course the girls know which are which, but
that doesn't matter They aren't paying for
them"
shouted at Mary begging her to tell them
which box was hers. But the class president
continued: I'll pick the boxes up at random,
and all the boys can bid. The highest bidder
gets the box and his partner for the evening
is the girl who brought that box. Are you all
ready?"
They shouted that they were, and Mary
picked UP the FIRST box. Dorothy who was
standing well to the back of the crowd turned
away. The accident to her box had killed all
her interest In the party
Suddenly she was conscious that Don Harker
was standing next to her, and that Fac Linton
was on the other side of Don. Then Dorothy
overheard Fac say to Don In a low voice:
Don't forget, Don. Mine is the square box
with the red ribbon"
Dorothy turned away. her eyes flashing with
anger. To think that Fac, already the most
popular girl there, should cheat so that DON
Harker would get her for his partner!
