LIGHT RAIN FALL RELIEVES DROUTH AIDING FARM CROPS

At last the weather man has consented to break the long drouth and the heat wave which has caused unusual suffering for this time of year and caused farmers to fear for the crops. After a week during which the mercury hovered at the dizzy ninety mark, it took a decided fall early this morning when a shower fell. The rain while not as heavy as needed settled the dust and was of great value to farmers, according to A. D. Cobb, county agent. The rain, he believes, has meant hundreds of dollars to Wayne county. Stephen Kuth, berry grower and agriculturist, said today the rain would not benefit the strawberry crop very much. Days of intense heat, with the soil parched, large cracks appearing in places, caused the vines to wilt and fall to the ground. The rain will not be able to resuscitate the languishing plants, and housewives will either pay heavier prices for berries to can, or forego the luxury. Worry About Hay. The effect of the rain on the hay crop is problematical. It was predicted late last week that the crop would be short, and whether the downfall will help timothy was a matter of conjecture with farmers today. Some asserted if the rain continued, two weeks would see timothy round out, while others asserted the crop was too far gone to be benefited. A general shortage of timothy was predicted. Blackberries and raspberries, according to Mr. Kuth, will be assisted in maturing into good crops by the rain of today. He asserted the fruits were just through blooming, and with today's down pour to assist the fructifying would assure Richmond housowiveR a copious supply for the table and for canning purposes. Small Crops Benefit. Small crops and vegetables were aided by the rain. This observation, according to farmers, held true also of meadows. In places whore the soil is light, meadows were burned out by the heat. Dairymen were anxiously awaiting rain. Corn is standing good and the wheat crop showed little suffering. Lawns about homes and the sward in Richmond parks needed rain. Three days of last week the thermometer registered 01 degrees, and on Thursday broke the season record with fil' degrees as the maximum for the day. The minimum for the week was fifty degrees on Sunday night. The report of the co-operative observer follows: Max. Min.

Shelbyville defeated the Richmond Murrays here yesterday 13-1 0. The game was marred by the injury of two of the visiting team, Haas and Sittlow. Haas was overcome by the heat at the end of the first inning and had to retire. As the other catcher of the Murrays had been injured the day before, a backstop man had to be hunted up out of the crowd and this fact caused the downfall of Richmond. Sittlow turned his ankle in the chasing a fly and had to leave the game, further crippling the team. Gwynn, pitching for the Wayne county boys, was tar more effective that Shelby's mound man but the loss of Haas "allowed the locals to run the bags at will. EXECUTES J REBELS General Orders Death Penalty for Looting. VERA CRUZ, June 1. Four Constitutionalist soldiers were executed at Tuxpam on Sunday for looting, on the order of General Aguilar the rebel leader according to advices received here today.

It is reported that a special train enroute to Vera Cruz from Mexico City was fired upon by rebels who had heard that president Huerta was on board. The dictator is still at the capital.

However, a large revolver was found on Schenck when he arriv-i ed at the barn and this morning he pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon when arraigned before Mayor Robbins. In the meantime Mrs. Schenck came to her husband's rescue and pleaded that he be given another chance. Mayor Robbins released the young man. who is the father of an eight weeks old baby, at the request of ! Prosecutor Reller, when Schenck promised in the future to dispense with the affinity business and be a good husband and father, contributing regularly to the support of his family "If you keep on chasing around," remarked the mayor as the youth left the court room, "you will be brought back here again and get the limit provided for the offense you are charged with."

COUNTY LEADS ALL IN ROADJEFFICIENCY State Highway Superintendents Classify Wayne as "A No. 1" in Work.

As far as road work is concerned Wayne county leads the state, audi is acknowledged by all member of the j state organization of road superintend-j ents to be A-No. 1. W. O. Jones, coun-1 other highway superintendents a num- j roads was not used in any of the eighty counties represented. As a resuit of his explanation of the system used here, Marion county, of which Indianapolis is the seat, will place twenty-five to fifty me na day out of prisons ; on the roads. Superintendent Jones was the first man called on to talk at the meeting, and was introduced as the representative of the county which is the pacemaker for the state. Mr. Jones found that Wayne county is the only county which is working men in all districts at all times. Financial troubles caused by the 1913 flood are chiefly the reason for the lack of road work in other counties. In some counties, the commissioners failed to make extra provision, and as a result are seriously hampered in financing their road work. DIRECTOBSJ MEET Commercial Club Leaders Pass on Work.

DR. COOK INTENDS TO RETURN NORTH WHEN RECOGNIZED

Arctic Explorer in City Says Sea Farming in Northland Will Become Source of Great Wealth. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, explorer, scientist and the man whose name was in every newspaper and magazine and on the lips of every person in the United States three to five years ago after he returned in 1909 to Copenhagen, Denmark, after discivering the North Pole, is in Ric hmond. The purpose of his trip throughout the continent and at motion picture theatres, is to create public sentiment in favor of the I'oindexter bill, which will practically give him national recognition from the government and a j.hmj gold meaal tor nis services, es tablishing his claim of priority to Peary, whose later discovery was the cause of a heated controversy. Dr. Cook is showing his photographs in color from the plates he brought back on foot from the pole to Copenhagen, where his case was first heard. He announced today that he will return to the Northlands, not only bocause of his love of the wild rugged country, but to establish a great new industry, that of sea farming "I will not. make another trin to the pole." Dr. Cook said. "Nothing could be eained bv one trio or a dozen. 1 have the scientific facts, which are of; primary importance, and I know the topography and the nature of the country." Dr. Cook stated that he will not ask money as Peary did although Peary, a later discoverer, was given $50,000 and a pension of $6,000 a year for his discovery. "We could not go there and put a stick in the place where the North Pole is located," Dr. Cook said. "It is easier to tell within a foot right here than it is to locate it within ton miles at the pole. I was openly frank in admitting this." To Open New Industry. "Contrary to general opinion, the far north is not a useless and sterile waste," said Dr. Cook. "The time will come when human life with new industries will extend to within 500 miles of the pole. To that point there is an abundance of grass and animal life. There are minerals and the sea has in it a more usab'e life than the Gulf of Mexico. We do not mean to say that Arctic agriculture in a large way, will ever be possible, but the long continued summer sun is an asset to the Polar regions which we have not i grasped.

DAIRYMEN OPPOSE BOTTLE DELIVERY

The ordinance committee of council at the session this evening i3 expected to prc-sent a favorable report on the two amendments to the milk inspec-j tion ordinance ofefred by Councilman O'Ne al as a substitu'e to the dairy or-j dinance killed at the last cou:.cil meet- . ing. Thi'sc ameii(!ine;iis provide for j the thorough sterilization of all milk bottles and other vessels nsed for hold- i ing mil!;, and for the distribution of, all milk in quantities of a gollon or I less in bottles. j It was learned today that P.en Weiss, ' a dairyman, encouraged by the success j of the dairymen in having the dairy j measure drafted by City Attorney ; Pond killed two weeks ago, now seeks to defeat the effort to have all milk delivered in bottles. It is also understood that other dairymen are also , making such an effort. ; Weiss has distributed voes to all women who patronize him, requesting them to express their preference as ; to whether they desire to have milk delivered in hottles or dipped from a ! can. What the result of this straw vote has been is not known, but it probable it win oe made public at council meeting tonight, or at some other session before final action is taken on the O'Neal amendments.
