home influences The pathetic appeals he received from his mother and sister in far away Dayton Ohio just before Christmas were soon forgotten The Christmas cheer that was given to him the efforts to pro vide him with a good home where he could earn wages and lay the founda tion for a life of usefulness were not appreciated To be taken from a dingy prison cell into a church atmos phere and surrounded by a Christian Christmas influence failed to appeal to his better nature He not only to the call of the no madic life but he committed a crime for which he is now standing in the shadow of

determining what his choice will be Although there is si ill ample time for sufficient rainfall to insure soort crops tlm continuation of the fong old and dry spell and the failure of indications of rain that a re usually considered certain are alarming the farmers and arousing apprehensions that we arc liable to have another sea son in which the rainfall will fall short of normal Last season there was but little more than half the av precipitation but the spring showers were so timely and well dis that more than half a crop of cereals and hay was harvested The total rainfall for the season ag 315 inches Thoso moat in may find some encourage ment in the fact that this la consid erable in excess ot the amount on cor responding dates In 1911 and 1912 when the rainfall aggregated 161
