Bend. —Rains during the past week, according to Henry Swain, government observer for St. Joseph county, ha*ve greatly benefited late crops, including sweet corn and potatoes. As a result of a fall of nearly one and one-half Inches of rain within three days, the production of crops will run practically 50 per cent of normal. The rains, however, came too late to help field corn, except In the low lands. Realizing the condition, the farmers have for more than two weeks been cutting the crop and placing it in silos. As a grain crop, however, corn, according to Mr. Swain, is a failure. Aurora. —Daily B.

TO ELECT NEW POPE

MEMBERS OF SACRED COLLEGE SUMMONED FOR ELECTION. _■ . ,* .-'A Officials at Vatican Hope European War Won’t Interfere With Conclave. By BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE. Rome, Aug. 21. —Despite the war In Europe. It la hoped in official circles of the Vatican, that the hostilities, gigantic as they are, will not interfere with the holding of the conclave for the election of a successor to the late Pope Pius X. The sacred college will be convened as soon as possible, and already Its members throughout the world are being summoned to Rome for the highest official function of the Roman Catholic church Interest in the successor to Pope Plus X centers In the names of Cardinal Merry del Val; Cardinal Diomede Falconia, the former papal delegate to the United States; Cardinal Ferrata, one of the most successful nuncios in the diplomatic service of the church, and Cardinal Jerome Mary Gotti, the active prefect of the propaganda. Although there is a tradition that tho pope must be an Italian, the belief was expressed todav that the conclave of cardinals might select the next sovereign pontiff from among the foreign cardinals In this connection the name of Cardinal William Van Rossum of the arch diocese of Utrecht, the Netherlands, was mentioned. The conclave, when it comes to take place, will be of peculiar interest to the United States, for it will be the first time that that country will be represented at a- papal election by thifee members of the sacred college— Cardinals John Farley of New York, James Gibbons of Baltimore, and William H O’Connell of Boston.
