Kansas crops buoyed by light rain despite heat wave
In Topeka and across Kansas, record heat from 100 to 110 degrees plus hot winds dominated the week ending July 31. Most areas saw no rain, corn tasseling amid drought with prospects of little yield in many counties.

Marriage licenses were issued in Overbrook for Marvin Furth and Austa Flory, with local residents traveling to Colorado. several Lawrence residents returned from trips and Fort Leavenworth exams.
