Another advocate for a snno fourth
for .South llvml. is ChWZ Grant of
tho fire I partnu nt.
The hot -vvathr of th p ist fv

expert to put in a huy
fourth. A rain would
lessen the danger, but at that a
couple of days of dry weather would
he KuMicIent to endanger the prop
erty of trie city aKHin.
Chief Grant said that Independence
day always records a lon li.n of
fires, and unless tome effort is made,
this year it will prove more disastrous
than ever. Thw Is tho lirst year
that puch a lon? continua.1 Ury speli
has preceded the Fourth, and the
fire department members feel that
fome effort should be made by the
citizens to prevent the losses that
usually result.
The state tiro marshal ures a Fane
and safe Fourth as one of the ways
of preventing a heavy loss. Citizens
have been requested to destroy any
material that might set tire easily,
and are ured to take extra precau
tions to prevent tires starting.
Juno a Dry .Month.
June has just closed making a rec
ord this year an having the least
amount of rainfall ever recorded.
During the month only three-fourths
of an inch of rain fell. The month
made three important records never
before, recorded in the weather man's
Journals. It was not only the driest,
but it was also the hottest June ever
recorded, and also had two days, tho
10th and 11th on which the coldest
weather ever taking place in June
was recorded.
With the three important records
the weather h;us done but a small
amount of damage to the farmer.
During the two nights jf which frosts
wero reported, the damage to corn
and smaller fruit was not very ex
tensive. The drought came sat an
opportune time for cultivated crops.
The cultivated crops were not dam
aged to any extent, while wheat,
which, during the dry period, was at
the stae where it was developing in
the berry did not require much moist
ure and was not materially damaged.
According to John H. Uordner, enor.'-'h
moisture was stored up in the
veloped stalk and roots to carry tho
berry to the ripening stance with but
little loss. The dry period would, of
course, increase the ripening of the
grain.
Oats Wen Damaged.
Damage, to oats amounted to
than to the wheat. Other crops
been damaged slightly but the
loss to the farmer, resulting
the drought will not be great.
Deliberately challenging the weath
er man, Tuesday afternoon when he
tantalized the city with threatening
rain clouds and an occasional sprinkle,
the big street sprinklers . were kept
busy, and many of tht pedestrians
emerged into the streets coatles.- and
unprepared in every way for even a
little shower. Tuesday, the first day
of July, began with the weather a
trifle cooler than tho dav preceding.
The thermometer recorded only S3
above as a maximum temperatuTe and
dropped to the 71 mark at the coolest
time.
Smiles took the place of frowns
Tuesday when the weather acted as
everybody thinks weather should act.
It was Just right for the man who
didn't care to wear his coat or for
the man who wanted to keep his on.
Sleeping was tine Monday nUht and
everyone was satisfied. The parks
were crowded Tuesday night but
more for a desire to get out and enjoy
the long looked for breeze, than to
get out where it was cool. Tho back
bone of the hot sped is thought to
have been broken now end the temp
erature is expected to stay down
where It belongs, according to South
Bend citizens.

WILL GET $50,000 GIFT
FRANKLIN . Ind., July 2. The
last of a 52 00.000 fund was raised by
Franklin college Tuesday night in an
effort to get tho $50,000 offered the
institution by John D. Rockefeller.
The college had until July 1. 1913. to
complete its fund upon which the
gift devolved and Monday night it was
$5,000 short of the necessary amount.
Tuesday was the first day on which
ordinary stamps could be placed on
parcel post packages. No more parcel
post stamps will be issued, hut, those
in circulation can be placed on any
mall matter, either on letters or second
class matter and the letter will be car
ried as if an ordinary stamp had
been placed on It.
This is in accordance with the post
master general's ruling which went
into effect July 1. Special parcel post
stamps were installed by the postoffice
department a& it was thought neces
sary that this matter should be han
dled separately and that the clerk
would be able to recognize it with less
difliculty if a special stamp was used.
It was found that the special stamp
caused delay In other lenartments of
the office and therefore It was discon
tinued. The new ruling Is well liked by the
local postofllce clerks. It lessens the
confusion and expedites the handling
of packages. Instead of handling so
many different kinds of stamps the
clerks will have only the regular issues
to care for.
