Don't worry about the corn crop it will surprise you yet. July and Au gust are noted for their hot weather. About six years ago many people laid their corn by in August, some as late as the 16th and it made good corn too. The subsoil is thoroughly soaked and with a very little rain there will be a good corn crop. Ashley Conger had his tent pitched upon the bank of the river northwest of Loup City, directly in the path of the twister that passed through the north part ol town last Friday night. { He has not been able to find the tent ! since, and all the other camp articles were blown over a quarter of a mile.1 He happened to stay at Loup City that night, the first for some time. ! He was lucky, that’s all. I wish everybody would think jp some funny costume or funny float fof the Route 2 parade on Labor Day. Remember there will be hundreds of ; people in Loup City to watch the parade as it passes through the city ! on its way to Jenner’s Park, one of j the most beautiful places in Nebraska to hold picnics.

Most of the past week has been too wet for all kinds of farm work. Some % corn cultivated over once. Some fields are very weedy. Winter wheat is filling good and some oats commen cing to head. Second cutting of alfal fa is eight inches high and nothing but hail will keep it from making a bumper second crop. The potatoes have enough moisture to make them and the crop will be the largest all round raised in Sherman county for years. The hay crop is made and is without doubt the best ever raised in this part of the country. Rye will be ready to cut about July 10th. Tame cherries are tipe. No hail has visited this part of Sherman county Route 2 had its worst storm of the season last Friday night and in places the wind was in a cyclone form. At Clarence Burt’s several cottonwood trees from two to three feet through were uprooted, his windmill bent to the ground, the wagon was blown out in the pasture and a large patch of shingles torn from the roof of the barn. The barn was also badly twisted out of shape, the buggy was tipped over against one of the big trees that blew over. One funny thing about the storm at Clarence’s place is that it never injured the large boxelder trees that surrounded the orchard. But ten feet from the trees eight or ten big apple trees were uprooted and a big majority of all the other fruit trees were more or less injured, one of the trees being blown in just the opposite direction from the way the others were showing cyclonic conditions. The wind only lasted a few minutes. At V. T. Wescott’s it blew a stack of al falfa in two, several trees were dam aged and along his west line several telephone poles were blown down. J. W. Burwell’s big double corn crib and grainary was turned part way round on its foundation: Torrents of rain fell everywhere and the fields are bad ly washed. The storm seemed to travel from east to west, or if any thing, a trifle southeast. ROCKVILLE HAPPENINGS Obituary.

General Franklyn Benesh, with a corps of heavy artillery, autoed to Rockville Sunday afternoon and en gaged the forces of Field Marshal Sundstrom in mortal combat, and when the smoke of battle cleared away the enemy were in full retreat, being decisively defeated by the score of 4 to 1. The main factor in Field Marshal Sundstrom’s victory proved to be his masked battery “Treon.” This par ticular battery not only withstod the heavy artillery attack of the enemy, but disconcerted them to such an ex tent that only three of them wrere able to locate the range. Prichard and Stott repulsed several flank movements in the vicinity of short and left. Field Marshal Sund strom’s cohorts located the range in the third range with their 42-centi rneters and scored their first markei on a two-bagger by Strom and a sin gle by Kostal. In the fourth and fifth frames the enemy decided upon a reconnoitering expedition, and General Benesh forth with detailed his most trusted lieu tenants to make a baloon ascension The expedition proved to be a mosl complete failure for Ravenna anc three more markers for Field Marsha Sundstrom. The enemy made their lone score in the last stanza when Treon losi the range for a moment, permitting gibbets to walk to first. At this periot Treon attempted a submarine attacl and as a result Tibbets landed or third and scored a moment later or Treon’s fumble of Hlava’s grounder The score by innings: R.H.E Rockville .001210000—4 5 ' Ravenna .00000000 1—1 3 A Summary:—Earned runs — Rock ville, 1; two-base hits, Strom, Thomp sen; sacrifice hits, Strom; bases or balls—off Treon, 3; offFinamo, 3 struck out—by Treon. 8; by Finamo 8; stolen bases—Strom, Coverly, Tib bets, Benesh, Hlava; hit by pitcher ball, Treon; let on bases—Rockville 9; Ravenna 6; umpires, Coulter anc Thrasher. The Ball Player's Prayer. Lord help me to play the game. Ii matters not to you whether I am tal ented or poor in natural gifts; weal thy or starving; a leader among mer or a simple follower, so that I plaj the game as you would have ii played. Help me to keep my eye or the ball, that the curves of tempta tion not deceive me. Keep my feet ir the path of righteousness, that I ma; touch second and third on my wa; 'round the bases. Help me to beat ou my bunts, and hold me that I straj not too far from base when th< catcher is ready to peg me. Coum not my foul balls against me, O Lord for the batting eye sometimes goe: wrong ’though the intention is right Help me in the pinches, Lord, because a good bingle might bring my brothel home. Let not the music of the fan: keep my eye from the ball, nor the enticements of the slabman draw me away from th need of a clean single with a man on second. Help me, C Lord, \o bat over .300, because mj eyes are on the big league for eternitj even while I sojourn here among the bush-leaguers.—Ralph Sundstrom.
