Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. Z.

The week ending Monday a. m.
August 9Th, was warmer than usual,
the daily excess ranging from Is to
degrees. And it was rainless, except
light showers in portions of the north
eastern quarter of the state.
The conditions have been favorable
for securing grain in shock, and pre-
venting further damage from effects
of excessive rains in previous weeks.
Good progress has been made in
stacking and threshing with variable
yield,
The dry and hot weather has been
very beneficial to corn in the larger
part of the state, and especially in
sections recently visited by excessive
rainfall. In a few localities late
planted corn on thin soil needs more
rain very soon to develop the ears.
The early planted corn is nearing
the full roasting ear stage, and much
of it is beyond danger of serious in
jury fromsdrouth.
The regular August corp reports
from county and township CORE
spondents show the following aver
ages in conditions: Corn, los per cent;

A NEW CHURCH.

Roland, Aug. S-The organization
of the first English church ever
formed in Roland was perfected
here Sunday. The organization was
largely due to the labors of Rev A. b.
Shrader of the Memorial Lutheran
church of Nevada and ]. Evert Hum
man, a student of Wittenberg Semi
nary, who has been supplying the
formers pulpit this summer, and
was the ultimate outcome of the
stand the Norwegian Lutheran
churches of this place took against
fraternal societies. A number of
lodge members were dropped from
membership in the old churches, and
these, with their families and SYM
pathizing friends compose the new
English Evangelical church. Thirty
members accepted the hand of
Christian fellowship Sunday and half
as many more have signified their
intention of doing so. The board of
church extension ihas assured the
congregation Of 1000 to assist in
erecting new church edifice.
