DRY WEATHER NOW
NEEDED FOR CROPS
Both Wheat and Corn Would
Tin Vi.H, With T.Htla
More Sunshine.
OTHER CROPS ARE GREAT
While the rain of Sunday night is
Dot figured in the data given out
in the crop reports of the Burlington
and Northwestern, railroad officials
assert that Nebraska is getting more
rain-than is needed for the growing
crops.
The crop reports, taking into con
sideration conditions up to the end of
last week show that for the period
covered, all Nebraska was given a
thorough wetting.
Added to the rain of last week, all
through the North Platte country
and as far west as Grand Island and
Long Pine, there was a terrific down
pour Sunday night. Up along the
Platte and in the Elkhorn valley there
was one to two inches of rain during
the late afternoon and night. How
ever, the weather is now clear and
somewhat cooler. In the country
over which the Sunday storm passed,
it is reported that most of the streams
are out of their banks, and in many
section the crops on the bottoms are
flooded.
Need Dry Weather.
In making up its weekly crop re
port, the Burlington officials assert
that to assure a bumper winter wheat
crop, a week to ten days of dry
weather is needed. During the week,
with favorable weather, wheat cutting
will be commenced in the southern
counties of the state, and next week
harvest will be in full blast all
through the South Platte country.
The comparative estimate indicates
that wheat is still in fine condition.
On the basis of a perfect crop, the
Burlington gives out the following
figures for last week and the week
previous. They are as follows, by
divisions:
Last Previous
Division. Work. Weak.
Omaha t-
Lincoln 97
Wymore 9S 96
McCook 91 101
Weedi Grow Fast.
It is reported that, due to the con
tinued rain, corn did not progress as
rapidly as desired. The trouble was
that farmers were unable to get into
their fields, and while the corn was
making a good growth, the weeds
were growing still more rapidly. Com
parative figures on corn on the basis
of 100 per cent for perfect condition,
are as follows for the end of last
week and the end of the previous
week:
Last Previous
Division. Week. Week.
Omaha 96 94
Lincoln 94 96
Wymore 95 93
McCook 94 101
Other crops continue to give prom
ise of bumper yields, with the pas
tures in about the best condition ever
known.
Omaha Man Missing
Almost Two Weeks

Conditions in Turkey are about nor
mal and, reports to the contrary not
withstanding, there are no Americans
leaving the country on account of
political reasons or the war, Samuel
Anderson, treasurer of Roberts col
lege, Constantinople, who just arrived

boy, with quite a record in college
work in the Orient, is here for a few
days' visit with his parents, Mr. and

cases stripped them to the skin in an
effort, to make sure that they were
not carrying any papers of political
significance. The members of the
party, however, got through all right
after successive overhaulings at the
hands of officials.
Mr. Anderson remained in New
York for a few days for conference
with the financial department of the
board of foreign missions of the Con
gregational church, which maintains
Roberts college at Constantinople.

were 540 students at the college up
until the time the war broke out,
whereas there are 420 attending at the
present time, many of the members
of the class having joined the colors
of the Turkish army.
Mr. Anderson has been in the
Orient for several years. Previous to
his connection with Roberts college
he was treasurer of the Syrian Pro
testant college at Beirut.

the easy way to
heal sick skins
Don't worry any more about that itching skin
trouble. Just spread a little Resirtol Ointment over
the sick skin and see if the itching does not disappear
as if you had simply wiped it away
And even more important this soothing, healing
ointment rarely fails to clear away promptly every
trace of the unsightly, tormenting eruption, unless due
to some serious internal disorder. ,
Doctors have prescribed Resinol Ointment for over'
twenty years, and thousands owe their clear, healthy
skins to its use. It contains nothing that could injure
or irritate the tenderest skin, and is so nearly flesh
colored that it can be kept on the face, hands or other
exposed surface without attracting unpleasant attention.
Resinol Ointment usually gives even prompter
results if the' sore places are first bathed thoroughly
with Resino( Soap and hot water.
