loan fund for the use of worthy farm
boys and girls in attendance at
schools of agriculture is announced
by Mrs. E. v. Ripley, home and COM

Bureau, by the principals Of the Min

has shown that students are excel
lent loan risks, so the money raised

tural education.

million Dollar Rain Ends
Drouth, Six Day Hot Spell
Crops in Large Area Saved by
Half-Inch of Rainfall
Tuesday Afternoon
RAIN QUITE GENERAL
Thermometer Reading of 100
or Higher Recorded Five
of Six Days

A half inch of rain, described as
worth a million dollars" fell Tues
day afternoon, ending a heat wave
and drouth which threatened to great
ly reduce the amount and quality of
small grain, corn and hay produced
in the county this year.
Scattered reports from outlying
communities indicate that the rain
was quite general to the south and
east and in most places to the west.
North of the city the amount of mois-
ture was considerably less, it was re-
ported.
The rain was badly needed after
week of blistering hot weather dur
ing which the thermometer fire.
quently crossed the 100 mark to
threaten the 108 degree record set
two years ago. Friday, Redwood
Falls reported the hottest recording
in the state.
After a comparatively comfort
able sc Wednesday of last week, the
mercury climbed to 1O3 Thursday
and Friday registered los. Saturday
was only slightly better with SO,
Sunday was an even 100, Monday 104
and Tuesday 1O2 until rain late in the
afternoon cooled the air. Wednesdays
high was sc degrees.
West of Redwood Falls small areas
were reported in which it was believ-
ed the rain came too late to prevent
some loss to the crop. Small grain
and hay, particularly, was believed to
be hard hit.
Although summer did not official
ly arrive until Wednesday, the early
part of June was unusually hot even
for midsummer. Thirteen days are
recorded as over 80 degrees, five of
which were also over the 100 mark.
No 100 readings were recorded in
June last year and only six days were
over 80 degrees. Two years ago,
however, June was surprisingly simil-
ar to this June. Fourteen days that
month temperatures of 80 degrees or
more were reported and five times
the mercury was los or above. June
%, 1881, when 108 was recorded,
stands as the hottest day on record
here.

Personalities
BY Nellie Dodson

It seems to me that the appeal of
the picture, THE White Sister," would
have been doubled If Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer had borrowed FREDRIC
MARCH from Paramount for the Co
starring part opposite HELEN HAYES,
rather than give the role to CLARK
GABLE. Gable is fair enough actor
for modern roles such as he has been
portraying up until this time, but
somehow he didn't seem to be quite
up to the role of Giovanni in 1.-THE
White Sister" The role would have
fitted Fredric March far better than
It did Gable. In the first part of the
story Giovanni is dashing, carefree
young officer: Gable played that part
OF the role well enough, but in the
latter part of the story where Clio
vanni has gone through the rigors and
hardships of a prison camp, and where
he has only the one desire to become
reunited with Angela, Gable seemed
to lack the depth of feeling necessary
for the part. Fredric March gives an
intensity and realness to his parts
which would have made the role Of
Giovanni fully as outstanding as that
Of Angela. Clark Gable was too
brusque, too abrupt, in the very mo-
ments of the picture when he should
have been exactly the opposite. In
stead of the part of Giovanni dominat:
ing the personality of Gable, the per-.
sonality of Gable dominated the role
of Giovanni; the Gable smirk, and the
Gable mannerisms were all very much
in evidence. Fredric March could have
been equally as dashing and hand
some as Gable in the first of the pics
ture, and he could have given the final
scenes the delicacy and finesse which
Gable seemed to fall just short of.
