On Saturday, Aug. 20th, Cedar Rap- 

 ids, la., had the most severe hail storm 

 ever known in that section, most ot 

 the hail coming down in the form ot 

 irregular chunks of ice 1%-inch to 

 21/2 inches in diameter. I. N. Kramer 

 & Son had about 16.5 boxes of glass 

 broken. The accompanying illustra- 

 tion shows the north side of the 

 Kramer houses where most of the 

 damage was done, though considerable 

 glass was broken on the south side 

 as can be seen on the small house in 

 the picture. The glass still left on 

 the houses as is also shown is nearly 

 all cracked and broken, and that which 

 was knocked out was hammered into 

 small pieces looking as though it had 

 gone through a mill. Palms, rubbers, 

 roses, carnations and stock of every 



description were badly damaged. Out- 

 door stock was cut to pieces. Dahlia 

 stalks an inch or more in diameter 

 were cut off and vegetables pounded 

 to a jelly. Great damage was done 

 to churches, schoolhouses and also to 

 farm crops.
