AN EAR OF CORN.
campment Parade Asked to
Curry the States Emblem.

Each Iowa soldier who marches in
the great parade at the national en-
campment in Washington in October
will be expected to carry the largest
ear of corn he can find, and genuine
corn from the Hawkeye state at that.
A suggestion to this effect is made in
general order issued by Assistant
Adjt. Gen. Newman from the head
quarters of the state G. A. r. depart
ment recently.
The order recommends that as
distinctive feature every soldier from
Iowa wear a large ear of corn sus-
pended from the shoulder by buff
colored ribbon, fastened to each end
of the ear. Every comrade is urged to
bring two ears of corn in his grip, SO
as to provide plenty for all Iowans,
in case some should fail to have sup
ply. 1t is expected this idea will find
general favor among the veterans.
Department Commander Lindt first
suggested the plan some time ago.
Dr. Newman says there is every indi-
cation the attendance from Iowa will
be large. An excursion has already
been arranged by the Milwaukee and
preparations made for special train
of 10 coaches.

On Governors day at the Chautau-

5000 and 1000 people were on the

Gov. Albert B. Cummins, Milton Rem

Enthusiastically received. Speaking of
the good work Chautauquans are do

touched the broader questions that
are sure to confront the American
people, and must be solved by educa-
ton of the people to highest ideals.
Paying a high tribute to American
citizenship in the past, he urged upon
his hearers the fact that the grand
efforts of history would not solve
the problems of the future, and that
only broader education and deep
study OF the weightier questions of
government would avail. The gov

RUINED BY BUGS.
Innd Will Have Practically No
Crop This Year.

Walkers island, just west of Sioux
City, in the Missouri river, which for
years has produced an annual crop
of watermelons estimated at 25OO0O
in number, will have practically no
crop this year and the loss to the
growers will be $4,000.
The wet weather has caused the
vines to become covered with innu-
merable small bugs. These insects
have destroyed the sap, so the vines
wilted and dried up before the mel
ons matured. 1t is said the crop on
the island was destroyed in similar
manner ii years ago.
The muskmelon crop there also is
practically ruined. Many of the
growers have plowed up their melon
patches and are sowing them in mill
let

PRICE OF SOFT COAL.
Will Probably Advance in That Por.
ton of Town Where 1t Is Not
Produced.
Especial Correspondence

Coal men are confident that the price
of soft coal in that part of the state
which does not produce coal will adj
vance this fall. This is on account
of the hard coal strike in the east,
which has greatly reduced the sup
ply of hard coal in Iowa, leading the
dealers to believe that the demand for
soft coal will SO increase that a. higher
price will naturally follow. Operators
say that the price for soft coal in car
load lots has ranged from SLIGO to ST 80
at the mines, and this will be advanced
to two dollars, in all probability. This
coal goes to the nonproducing sections
where the advance to the retailer will
be added to the price to the consumer,
undoubtedly. 1t is not believed among
coal men here that the price in coal
producing sections will advance.

Tax on Railroads.

The executive council completed the
assessment of the railroad, telegraph,
telephone and express company prop
erty of the state recently. The in
crease in the railroad assessment over
last year is $4,o41 $50, which amount is
borne almost wholly by the trunk
lines, the Northwestern, Milwaukee
and Burlington lines getting the heav-
lest increase. The assessment of the
telegraph, telephone and express COM
panies' property also shows a sub
stantial increase.
