HEIR TO $4,000 FOUND
Preparations Were Being Made to
Declare Man Legally Dead.

KOKOMO, Ind, July 3.-A small
estate here has been given to G. H.
Scott, named in the will of his
half-sister, Mrs. Catherine Goyer,
just as authorities had decided to
call an end to their three-year
search, and declare him legally
dead.
Scott learned of Mrs. Goyer's
death, and that he was sole heir to
her $4,000 estate, through a chance
remark Of his son to the poStmas-
ter in Woodston, Kan. The postmas-
ter was one of the scores of persons
to whom w. w. Drinkwater, execu-
tor of the will, had written in his
search for Scott, who has been liv-
ing in Sabetha, Kan, near Woods

Nationwide Move Demand

the American Guardian, Farmer

til Tom MbonI- and Warren Bill
lings are freed.
Oscar Ameringer, veteran editor
of this organ, claims a circulation
of 10000 for the special Mooney
Billings edition. The appeal says
in part:
This is not labors case against
California. 1t is Americas against
California. The craven cowardice,
the heartless callousness, the disre-
gard Of human decency displayed by
the ruling forces of California is q
challenge to America.
Therefore, be done with pleading
and beginning. Say 1t in deeds.
Say it in dollars-the sacred Ian
guage of CALIFORNIA; upper caste.
This means the boycott of Cali
fornia by every man and woman
who still has o spark left Of the
holy fire that once upon a time
made this country the land of the
free. The boycott was good enough
for the founders of this republic to
bring a British parliament to terms.
Boycott California and all that

LACK DROUGHT
MeteoroIogist Says Rains
Late in Season Preclude
Situation Like 1880.

Fear of a renewal of the dis
astrous 1890 drought was allayed
today by j. H. Arlington, senior
meteorologist of the United States
weather bureau at indianapolis. II
present conditions continue, Arm
ington said, crops in Indiana will
not suffer. materially from the heat
Arlington pointed out that al
though precipitation at present is
far under the amount for the cor
responding period of last year, the
rain has been scattered over a
larger period, providing vegetation
sufficient moisture to insure normal
growth. The sub-soil, however, he
said, still is in need of water, never
having recovered from the drought
of last year, which drained every
drop of moisture to a depth of many
feet.
Heat waves such as the present
one," Arlington said, twill not
wither crops in the, state If inter-
mediate showers continue as they
have recently. This hot weather is
especially good for corn. 1t and
other vegetation have progress we'll
after a slow start, caused by cold
spring, and from indications at
present will return normal yields"
In explaining the paradoxical
rainfall condition, Arlington point
ed out that precipitation now is
7.O3 inches under normal. At the
end of June, 1880, precipitation was
only 1.55 inches below normal. Last
year, however, nearly all the entire
years rain fell during January and
March,. so that this year, although
there had been approximately six
inches less, the situation is more
satisfactory because rain did not fall
in such a short period.
Only 1921 inches of rain has fall
en- this year, weather bureau rec
ords reveal. For June the figure was
only 2.2O.
What the soil needs" Arming-
ton said, sis a long, steady rain that
will not run off into creeks and
streams, but sink into the ground
and replenish the supply of moisture
in the sub-soil. Then, even if pre-
cipitation falls off, crops will have
enough water deep under the sur
face to sustain growth.
