Secretary of Agriculture Wallace with his 1888
model of crop control proposing reduction of
paintings in this country by 25OOO,O0O acres is
entitled to all the satisfaction he can get from
its almost unanimous approval by farm leaders
from the principal agriculture states. A happy
beginning for regulations of this size has not al
ways turned out the same way at the curtain
call and rejoicing should be done while yet
there is time.
With America covered with SURPRISES of vari-

Japanese Fight
Along 100 Mile Front
Chinese Ask League Of Nations
For Help in Resisting.

Unable to break the stubborn re-
sistance of the Chinese forces
around Shanghai after weeks of
fighting, the japanese high COM
mand last week launched vast Of
fensive along a 100-mile front in
North China and achieved some de-
cisive victories according to reports
from headquarters in Peiping, an,
cient capital of China.
Six hundred thousand or more
soldiers were engaged in battle
along the extensive new front in
North China, according to estimates
which placed the Chinese forces at
nearly four to one as compared
with the japanese numbers.
Earlier in the week the Chinese
had made what was described as
an orderly strategic retreat at
Shanghai, falling to their we'll pre-
pared fortified second line reaching
from the city Is miles or more to
the northwest. The Japenese forces
followed up, but found it impossible
to bulge the Chinese resistance.
\ Meanwhile the scourage of the
dread ORIENTAL disease, cholea, in
Shanghai assumed graver proper
tions. It was believed there were
thousands of cases in the native por-
tons of the city while in the inter-
national areas the number of cases
during the week to nearly
or quite 800. One American from
Buffola, NJ Y, died early in the.
week.

ABOUT THE WEATHER

Recent hot spells in various sections
of the country naturally have revived
comparisons Of heat with conditions of
former years. In the United States the
hottest spot on an average is a place in
Death Valley, California, named oddly
enough Greenland Ranch, where on July
10, 1910, the temperature rose to 134 de-
grees.
The record for cold in this country is
held by Miles City, Mont, where the mer-
curry sank to SIS below zero ins188s.
Higher and lower temperatures have
been recorded in Africa and Siberia, re-
spectively, although Death Valleys high
mark is within two degrees of the worlds
record, 136 degrees at Azizia, Tripoli, in
1924.
Some interesting cases of excessive
rainfall and snowfall have been noted by
the United States Weather Bureau The
hardest rain ever recorded was at Ophid's
Camp, in California, where an inch Of
rain, equivalent to is tons Of water per-
acre, fell in one minute on April 5gs1926.l
AT Porto Bello, Panama, PAT inches OF
rain fell in three minutes on May /. 1908
The heaviest snowfall ever to occur az d
place equipped for accurate observation
was % inchs in "A hours at Washington,
d. G., in January, 1922.
The most equable and pleasant eli
mate in the United States. and perhaps in
the world. is enjoyed by Key West, Fla,
where the temperature has never gone

modern culture has sprung. 1t has been
described as 1.-THE rise of new impulse in
literature, the yelling up of an enthusiasts
tic delight in freedom of thought, speech

With this movement were associated
the names of such great Italians as Filelfo,
Politian, Scaliger and other ilIustrious
scholars, with Perugino, Leonardo da

mortal companions in the field of art.
The impulse of their genius soon
