ASK GOXTO STAND FOR NATION LEAGUE; "DELAY DANGEROUS" WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. The American Rights League, an organization whose membership includes many pro. fessional and business men scattered over the country, today sent to Governor Cox, the Democratic nominee for president, an appeal that he stand flat-footed for the league of nations. The appeal was signed by George Haven Putnam, president of the league. The communicaton says: "The coming presidential election will, as heretofore, be decided by the independent voters. The obedient party man can, as always, be trusted to give his support to the regular ticket without raising question as to the wisdom (or lack of wisdom) shown by the bosses in the selection of the candidates or in the shaping of the party policy as expressed in tha platform. Plea for League "Rut thft independent voter is in terested not in the triumph of one party machine or another, but in the assurance of a wise, safe and patriotic national policy on the essential issue, or issues of the day; and he will give his vote to the candidates whose platform and whose utterance make clearcut and unmistakable acceptance of such policy. : VTho essential Issue of today Is, In our opinion, the acceptance by the United States of the league of nations. The question for the voters to decide is, shall the United States, which was shamefully and dangerously late in taking its part in the world war, continue its shameful and dangerous delay in taking up its share of the work of assuring a world's peace? ''The league of nations, with twentyeight signatories, has been constituted and is, under serious diffiiculties, beginning its work. .'Germany and Turkey have not yet been able to prove that they possess stable civilized governments capable of fulfilling their obligations; while Abyssinia and Dahomey are not interested in the purpose of the league. v- Now Up to U. S. "It is for the United States now to decide with which of these three groups it will associate itself. Short News of Citv I Wa; Morton's BlrtMay Wednesday.

Warmer Weather, Rain, Need of Indiana Crops A summary of weather and crop conditions in Indiana for the week by J. H. Armington, of the Indianapolis weather bureau, follows: Except on Friday and Saturday, very cool weather prevailed through out the state during the week, with minimum temperatures at some stations on Monday and Tuesday mornings near the frost limit. No frost was reported from any place, how-1 ' ever, and because of abundant sun- j shine, which was far above the aver age, corn, tomatoes, late potatoes, on ions, sugar beets and other growing i crops made good advance, and are in good condition, as a rule, except in the dry areas. Local rains fell on Sat-j urday or Sunday in the northern hair

For all growing crops warmer weather is needed, especially for corn, tomatoes and tobacco. The growing season to date has been much colder than that of 1918 and 1919, although the deficiency in temperature is not so great as that of 1917. Lightning and Thunder Are Subjects of Study By College Professor BLOOM INGTON, Ind., Aug. 5. Study of lightning flashes and the velocity of thunder has been undertaken here by Dr. Arthur L. Foley, head of the department of physics of Indiana university. The United States government has loaned a complete set of apparatus, such as was used for sound ranging on the French front. By means of this apparatus, which will be modified to suit the experiment, together with a photographic study made at the same time, Dr. Foley will undertake to learn definitely the velocity of thunder and something about the nature of the lightning flash itself. A photographic study of explosion waves and the nature of explosions is being conducted by Prof. John B. ; Dutcher.

Polygamy is Reduced in Phillipines by Education (By Associated Press) MANILA. P. I.. Aug. 5. Practice of polgamy in the Philippine Islands is being reduced through education of girls of the leading families of the outlying provinces, according to Frank W. Carpenter, retiring governor or the Department of Mindanao and Sulu. Mr. Carpenter Is here to turn over administration of his office to the Secretary of the Interior. The Sultan of Sulu renounces all pretensions to temporal sovereignty but gains recognition as ecclesiastical head of the Mohammedan church in the Sulu archlpeiigo. The treaty guarantees to the Sultan and his people "the same religious freedom had by all adherents of all other religious creeds, the practice of which is not in violation of the basic principles of the laws of the United States." ."It is important to note," said Carpenter in one of his messages written as governor, "that this includes the abandonment of polygamy.

Wisconsin, the banner potato state, will soon harvest Its greatest crop. According to officials there will be no holding back of the crop this year, and the bulk of it will either be on the market or enroute by Christmas Losses through dry rot suffered by farmers last year have "served as a lesson," it was said.
