A Chicago woman lias been convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to hang, it remains to be seen if the execution is carried out. The city of Greenfield has purchased the boyhood home of Indiana’s beloved poet, James Whitcomb Riley. The home will be restored and made into a public

shrine. It will grow in interest ( and importance. 1 i Although Constable Dick of Lon don saved the life of King Edward VIII, lie probably acted like any I other person would have under the same circumstances. To prevent | another from killing is human. The ! < oii.si.il>:. is ent it led to what praise < he is receiving and will no doubt be rewarded by the king. Every effort should be made to < have arrangements complete to feed th>' large crowd expected here Sunday. August 2, the opening day of the big Centennial celebration. It is not over enthusiastic to expact lo,mm or more people. That's a crowd and everyone will grant that it is a job to feed several • thousand within a two-hour period. We should have ample facilities for; their accommodation. I The Decatur gye department 1 1 worked heroically last evening and ( saved many thousand dollars worth of property of the Erie railroad. The boys kept a stream of water mi the tire until a larger supply was brought by the Erie engine ami kept the flume down so it did not injure the main track. Only | three box cats out of a string of I a hundred or more burned. The I local department received the thanks and appreciation of the Erie. Religious services as those plan tied for the opening day of the Centennial will not only be ini pressive and inspiring, but will be recorded as one of the most unique programs ever held in the country. The uniting of all denominations in the observance of the Sabbath in an out door service is an act which thrills those who appreciate tolerance and community cooperation.

\ thousands in attendance and a prayer of thanksgiving from the heart of every individual. A former St. Paul police chief is charged beiu s a go-betwaen in the Hamm kiduuping. Il is alleged that he received $25,000 of the ransom. The twin cities got a lot of bad publicity from the gangdom hook-ups and it would not be surprising to see the former officer convicted. In many cases crime cannot go on as it did in St. I'uul and Minneapolis unless some ’’protection” is given the criminal and from the way the bad boys gathered there, it appears the present charges are not groundj less. Decatur and the Centennial observance will be honored with the presence of Governor Paul V. McNutt. The governor will come to Decatur. Friday of Centennial week and will dedicate the tablet to the pioneers. Through the governor’s visit, state-wide recognition will be given to the Centennial anniversary and Hie day promises to be one of tile outstanding of the week. In addition to honoring the pioneer, the veterans of all wars will be given recognition on this day, the program being in charge of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion. Despite a lull calendar, including many engagements in this state and the interruption of a lew day’s rest which the governor planned for himself, he consented to give of his time to make the trip here. The community appreciates his in-

tercet in the Centennial obser-i vattce and assures him of a great, welcome. Q * * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ; 2.

DROUGHTS IN _ UNITED STATES Weather Bureau Expert Classifies Droughts In Nation (By J B. Kincer, U S Weather Bureau! Washington. July 20.- Drought* in the United States may be dtvld ed into two general classes. In one class are those of a transitory nature, affecting usually a relatively small area and of iiW«i’ atively short duration, frequently lasting only a single year: in the other those generally droughty conditions that have a tendency to persist for comparatively long pet iods. Smoothed weather records show long-time trends in precip ■ tation, covering a good many years, alternately above and below normal. The short period droughts are not usually definitely related, to the more general long time trends. When a minimum phase of precipitation obtains, such as is now being experienced, there occur at short intervals what may be called families of droughts, in contradistinction to the transitory, or short period, ones that fall in the first group. Prior to the minimum phase of precipitation responsible for the present family of droughts, so to speak, the last general condition of this kind occurred in the latter part of the BU’s and the early 90s of the last century. At that time, following a series of years with rather abundant rainfall, widespread scanty moisture began n 1886, and, while interrupted in 1892 by fairly abundant moisture, there was marked tendency generally for subnormal rainfall from 1886 up to 1895, culminating in severe droughts in 1894 and 1895. the driest years of that minimum phase. The year 1896 had fairly good precipitation, but 1897 was deficient in moisture between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Following Illis general long time drought, there were several belonging to the transitory class short-lived and often affecting seriously only comparatively small areas. Among these may be mentioned that of 1901 in the interior valleys and the soifiliwest. The

following year. 1902. had plenty of moisture in most states. Another transitory drought occurred in 1910. principally in the central and northern states and the south, but this again was largely a one-year affair. Another one in 1917 affected principally the southwest and northern plains, and still another. in 1925, was severe in the south and southwest. Thus, for some oo years up to 1930, there were a number of short-period droughts, but only one persistent and markedly dry phase of United States climate, that of 1886-1895, lasting, in general, about lit years. Some years, of course, were better than others. The present dry phase began iu . 1930 and has continued, with a few interspersions of fairly good years, such as 1935, up to the present time. There have been in this period three extremely dry years —1930, 1934. and 1936. The few available precipitation records, covering 100 years or more, indicate that a general dry phase, somewhat comparable to that of 1886-95, and the more recent one of 1930 to date, obtained in the 30's of the last century, or approximately 100 years ago. The outstanding wet phase of the United States climate in the last century was from about 1865 to I'BBs, with a secondary maximum during the first two decade* of the present ceifury, through several transitory droughts were interspersed. All of the foregoing statements refer specifically to that part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains. Some tree ring records of Ibe far northwest indicate that there probably was a major minimum precipitation phase, at least in that area, soon after the middle ot the eighteenth century, witbin the period 1755-80, with a succeeding maximum phase culminating about the beginning of the nineteenth century. While study of long weather records has not as yet disclosed a law to justify a forecast of future droughts, such study does give an historical background, which warns us that droughts In future may be expected, just as severe as those of the past. For example, the records show that in the early 90s, or some 10 years ago, there was a drought in the so-called “dust bowl” just us severe as that recently experienced Doubtless, ,wljen the preset, drought definite ly comes to an end, there will be a period of years with comparatively heavy rainfall, just as before, and little will be heard about dust atoms and the like. But, in planning a permanent farm program for such areas, the basic cou-side-rations should include the practical certainty that dry climatic phases, at least as severe as iu the past, will record. Cause of Droughts There is much loose talk these : days about changes in climate due

There are two basic principles in r am production getting moiat ‘ re into the air through evapor- ; ation and getting it out again, through condensation, in the. form ■ of cloud and rain drops. The hist is Important, but the latter much more so as related to the mattet | of droughts. The only way to produce rain in appreciable amounts is by cooling the air containing the , invisible vapor of water The ; reason why cooling causes condensation is the fact that warm an | can hold more moisture - water, vapor—per unit volume than cool , air The capacity of air, or rather of space, for holding invisible moisture doubles with each increase of 20 degrees in temperature. Thus, a cubic foot of air. saturated, at 80 degrees, if cooled down to 60 degrees, must lose, by condensation, half of its water con tent, which appears as clouds and rain. The details of these processes. while interesting, are too long to give here. Air cools most rapidly when rising; the normal fall in temperature for an ascending column of I air ts 1 degree for each 183 feel of rise. Nature effects this method of cooling in a number of ways, and usually on an immense scale. Air moves from place to place over the earths’ surface in mass formation. These masses come from two main regions—poler and tropical. Those from the poles are dense, heavy, and relatively cool;
