rain and they had to skurry in hot
haste for home. They were able to
get home and enjoy the splendid rain
afterwards.
Tom S. Svoboda for Sheriff.
Mr. Svoboda has been constable of
Cass county for ten years a:id has
made a good record in that office.
This is the first time that he has
ever run for oGice of any kind, and
hopes that the people of Cass coun
ty will give him a chance. Mr. Svo
boda is 43 years rid rind hns lived in
Cass county all this time. People
of the county are proud of having an

in the middle west and grain sorg
hums in the southwest.
The heat, however, has brought
benefits to offset in part the damages.
Where it has not been so badly rolled
nn as in carts of Ohio, corn has
grown well. Weeds have been kept j
down and the fields cultivated to a i
point favorable for a quick recovery j j3
when rain comes. P-J
Moisture before corn tassels and j
silks would erase much of the poten- i fc"?
tial danger. If it does not come be-
fore that time, which is only a day j
or two to a few weeks away, the corn
harvest will be of uncertain quality.
Excent in southern Texas, where
Borne cotton is shedding, dry weath- j
er evils have beer, counterbalanced I
by benefits to the south's great cash J
crop. In many sections cotton ii j

farmers generally have been able to
decimate the boll weevil with dust
that rainfall often makes ineffective.
Cotton Danger Less.
Cotton is not as near the critical
stage as corn and spring wheat, and
while it has been badly hurt in re
gions, economists say the crop will
give a good accounting of itself with
rain.
Winter wheat was harvested under
ideal conditions for storage. Pasures
generally have been cut short, caus-;
ing many cattlemen to liquidate!
while stockers and feeders delayed J
retrenchment. Milk yields have been j
shortend. th Chicago supply cut al
most to the danger line.
There has been fairly good hay
crop. Potatoes have not been badly
damaged in Idaho and northern
Maine Florida citrus fruits need
rain, but are holding out'well. There j 0
has been a good sub-soil moisture j t
in the corn belt, but the crop threat- ;

Spring Wheat, Corn and Cotton Can
Be Saved by Bain Coming Soon;
Com Loss Biggest.
Washington, July 22. Farm crops
were described today by department
of agriculture economists as far from
being ruined, although they have
been damaged by the drouth that has
spread from the Rockies to the At
lantic. The drouth's chief danger now,
they said, lay in the possibility of
its continuing into the critical grow
ing stage of three great staples
spring wheat, corn and cotton.
Spring wheat was believed to have
been saved from serious deterioration,
by an inch of rain that fell in Can
ada and the American northwest just
when the grain was beginning to
head short and the kernels shrivel.
The damage has not been entirely
alleviated, and additional rains are
needed.
Corn, probably facing the heaviest
loss of all, is estimated by a seny
official source to have had 50 mil-
lien bushels lopped off the prospective
I yield. Heat and drouth have been
i severe in the corn belt proper, the
Ohio valley and the south Atlantic
states. The drouth in Indiana has
been the worst in 2 9 years.
Small Grain Suffers.
South of Springfield. 111., corn is
estimated to have been reduced 20
bushels an acre in yield.
In all small grain areas the crops

Government in business usually ,
means inefficiency in business.
In a recent address, Edward N. j
Hurley brought out some interesting j
facts regarding the shipbuilding in- j
dustry wnen coneroneu uy uc kui r J
eminent during the war. He stated J tvjj
thnt. at. the most conservative esti- ; V?J
mate, the industry was at least 25 -
Tier cent less efficient after the gov- j eks
eminent became responsible for wages i JtJJ
than before, and that at least half a i gj
billion dollars could have been saved (
by private management operating :
with the same men on the payroll. JZ
"A genius who could invent some 1
method of getting the profit motive
into governmental operations, exclud-
ing graft, would be worth hundreds ;
of millions a year," according to Mr. 1 13
Hurley. "As it is now, there is no . V-4

ment for the one who lets it slip. v

with other businesses, all seeking to
cut costs and lead their field. The
job of a government employe is not
generally dependent upon outstand

wonder that the American people

have time and again insisted that : gyi

ing and leave business where it be- 1 i?3
