NEW TREE GROWS IN GREENSBURG

Greensburg, Ind., July 7. A great-grandchild to the first tree to grow atop the 117-foot tower on the courthouse here in 1870 has been discovered. The tiny seedling, four feet away from its forerunner, was spotted by Isaac Minary, courthouse custodian. Local observers, using binoculars, report it appears to be about one foot high. Since 1870 big tooth aspen trees have come and gone from the top of the tower, gaining worldwide attention for this city.

Canadian Cool Front Is Again Sidetracked

Rains Offer Some Relief; Northern Border States Cooler; Maryland Plows Under Crops 3 Much of the nation still simmered Wednesday in a long heat wave which had brought death to at least 152 persons. No widespread relief was in sight, although cooler air from Canada had overspread most of New England, New York and northeastern Pennsylvania. The midwestern states on the northern border, including Wisconsin, Michigan and the upper two-thirds of Minnesota, also felt cooler temperatures. The weather bureau said this cooler atmosphere probably would not spread further. Elsewhere in the hot belt from the Rocky mountains eastward scattered thundershowers brought but temporary relief. The rains, which continued to fall Wednesday in parts of some midwestern states, merely made the humidity high and uncomfortable. Chicago Cooler Chicago after six straight days of 90 degree temperatures or higher, received temporary relief yesterday from overnight showers. The temperature was 82 degrees in the downtown district at noon (CST) although it was higher at the airport, at the southw’est end of town away from Lake Michigan. Baltimore registered a blistering 98 today, equaling the 1911 record there for the date. The city’s water supply was threatened by excessive use and lawn sprinkling was banned. Many Maryland areas reported crops in “critical condition” because of the heat and lack of rain. Some farmers plowed under their corn as beyond help. The weather bureau predicted scattered thundershowers Thursday for the north central states, with high humidity and temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal in the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, and slightly below 7 normal in the Lake Superior region. Hot Again Maximum temperatures forecast for Thursday included 94 for Chicago, 92 to 98 in Indiana and

lowa. The overnight rainfall was highly variable, the weather bureau said, ranging up to more than two inches in local points in eastern lowa, southern Missouri and western Kansas. Although it benefitted from cooler air, New England received only a few local showers which gave little relief to the long drought. Farm crops there were badly wilted and damage was estimated at more than $50,000,000. Nine were known dead and five were missing from a violent rain and wind squall which hit the New York metropolitan area Monday. Hundreds of boats were capsized in Long Island sound.
