One of the most important problems
the next Legislature will have to solve
is how to provide enough revenue to meet
the demands on the State Treasurer. We
suggest that all the taxable property in
the State be put on the tax list at fair
valuation. If this is done enough revenue
will be raised.

Lady Wake.Me.Up

go to bed at night, of course,
And try to get some rest,
And spend the hours in sleep and dreams
Within that cozy nest
But when the morning comes at last
And return, oh, then
What is it comes to me and bids
Me come to life again?
There's no standing at my side,
There's one in the room,
No rust1ing skirt goes out the door,
catch no waving plume.
I call her Lady Wake Me-Up,
This gentle friend of mine;
Invisible and noiseless. she
Who comes when days fine.
Who drags from my soundest sleep
And folds my eyelids up
And bids rise and dress and go
And find my breakfast cup.
O smiling noiseless lady mine,
Some morning shall wake
Before you've climbed the early stairs,
Before the dawn shall break;
And shall catch you at the trick,
And you long before
You've lifted up my little lid
And vanished through the door.
But though plan it every night,
Each morning it's the same,
My eyes are buttoned fast, and I've
Forgot my friends and
Until you come and breathe within
Ny tiny little ear,
In words so low I can't recall
single hear.
Gentle Lady Wake-Me-Up,
If it not for you
I might be sleeping yet-who knows?
And that would never do -

on Muscatine Island.

Muscatine, July 9.-(Courier's spec

have ruined the prospects for a, big
watermelon and sweet potato crop, on
Muscatine island where it was expect
ed a month ago there would be 1000
cars of melons this season. The gar
deners like plenty of rain but it seems
they do not care for it in such excess
sive quantities, especially accompan-
led by the cold weather which came
in June. This caused the vines to rot
at the roots and now the old-time gar
deners are extremely discouraged. One
of fifty-one years experience says
that 1t is the most hopeless outlook in
all his history on the island, He says
not half a crop can be harvested under
any conditions now. Usually several
gardeners are using their irrigation
plants freely by this time of the year.
Now they wish they could work them
the other way and take the water out
of the ground. Irish potatoes are also
expected to, be disappointment as
they are becoming water soaked Cab
bage is the only crop doing well and 1t

much more favorable crops, and field

extensive areas have been flooded

In general the crop situation has
been improved in the larger part Of
the state by the few days of dry

and amount of cultivation; but prob
