Special agent John T. Boylan, OF
the rural free delivery mail service,
has quite reputation as a wide
awake and progressive man. He re-
Gently published an interview which is
of interest to merchants and buyers.
Mr.. Boylan says the first impression
among Iowa business men was that
the rural routes were help to the
great department stores, as through
the routes the farmer could not only
receive the circular and catalogue
of the department store, but receive
much of the goods ordered. The To-
cal business men in Iowa to whom
local trade justly belongs, are noy
meeting much of this competitor by
giving prices and making good offers
through the medium of the local pa
pers. Mr.. Boylan believes this is the
remedy for merchants to employ. There
are a great many good reasons why
the preferences should be given to the
local merchant and Mr.. Boylan rec
ognizes the local paper as the best
medium for helping counteract the de-
partment catalogue.

Crop Bulletin.
For week ending July l3, 1903.

For week ending July ID, 1903
The week was unusually warm with
high percent of humidity. The aver
age daily excess OF temperature was 3
to degrees. On the Sth, 9th and 10th
very heavy showers, with high winds,
swept over extensive areas in the east
central, northeast and north central
districts, and the excessive amounts
of rainfall were reported ranging from
200 to $50 inches. In about one-hali
to two-thirds of the state the rainfall
did not exceed the normal requirement
of the crops, and in some of the south.
ern localities there Is scant supply
of moisture at the surface. Consider.
able damage was done by high winds
and the local Hoods in storm swept
districts, but the percentage of loss OF
crops is not large.
Numerous reports indicate that the
spring wheat and oats are consider
ably affected by rust and smut, espec-
tally in the districts recently subjected
to excessive moisture. The extent OF
injury to small grain from this cause
cannot as yet be determined. The
high temperature and humidity afford
ed ideal conditions for the corn crop,
which is reported to be making excel
lent progress in all parts of the state,
the early planted fields beginning to
show tassels at about the normal
height. In the central and southern
districts haying operations have been
carried on, and the crop is generally
heavy. At many points early sown
oats are being cut
The recent windstorms have been
damaging to early apples In the north
ern section, but generally that Inn
portant crop is doing we'll in other
sections. Numerous reports are re-
ceived of damage to potatoes by rot
and fungus disease of the roots. .

Howard Burrell, for thirty seven
years editor of the Washington Press,
has sold the paper and retired. Bur
rell has been for many years one OF
the most quoted writer's In Iowa. He
seldom entered into political contro-
versy. Some times he would briefly
comment on some current topic. He
was a republican through and through
but he never wandered into political
discussion with Sam Clarke, or John
Mahin, or George Perkins, or Ret or
Dick Clarkson, or Cap Rathburn or
any of those mastery political writer's.
He didn't care much for that kind of
writing. But in his particular field
he was master. He was naturalist,
humorist, philosopher. He was indie
peonent and preferred the new way to
the old beaten track. He was original,
unique and wonder in his power OF
imagination, his invention and his
expression. We believe that twenty
years ago he was more inclined to be
a doubter of what is generally regard
ed as the cardinal principles of the
christian religion than he has been OF
recent years. We write of him as
being dead, which he is not. He says
he will travel and rest and go fishing.
He may do literary work, He is
greater than Mark Twain In many
ways and ought to have been in purely
literary work these many years.

Isn't it noticeable how the writing
a man does so naturally finds the lev
ell of the mans mind. Like the water
in the fountain it seeks the level of
its source. We are led to these OBJ
servations by the character of some
illusions in the Advocate of late. An
editor can make sorry spectacle of
himself when he. forgets the common
courtesies which should exist between
neighboring newspaper men, when he
falls into the habit of insinuating
what his brazonry will not justify him
in charging because of its known un-
truth, and when he has so little self
respect and pride in his own integrity
that he will not stand by the offers he
makes in his own columns. These
things the editor of the Advocate has
been doing the past few weeks.

HOW FIRES MAY START.
Several Things That Will Cause
Spontaneous Combustion.

spontaneous
Damp lampblack will ignite from .le
suns rays. The same can be said of
cotton waste moist with lard or other
animal oil. LampblacB and little oil
or water will under certain conditions
ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and
charcoal create spontaneous combus-
ton. New printers ink on paper when
in contact with steam pipe will ignite
quickly. Boiled linseed oil and turpen-
tine in equal parts on cotton waste will
ignite in few hours under a mild heat
and will in time create enough heat to
ignite spontaneously, says Casters
Magazine. Bituminous coal should not
be stored where it will come in contact
with wood partitions or columns or
against warm boiler settings or steam
pipes. This coal should not be very
deep If 1t IS to be kept on storage for Il
long period. If piled in the basement
Of building it should be shallow and
free from moisture and under good
ventilation. That liable to absorb
moisture should be burned first. If on
fire a small quantity of water shower
ed ON this kind of coal cokes IL and re-
tards any great supply of water reach
ing the fire, thus necessitating the over
hauling of the pile. Iron chips, filings
or turnings should not be stored in a
shop in wooden boxes. The oily waste
which Is not infrequently thrown
among them adds to the danger of fire
from this source. The sweepings from
the machine shop, if kept on hand,
should never be placed over iron shay
ings. This mass of disintegrated iron
is enough to incite heat and combus-
ton. Iron and steel filings and turn
ings when mixed with oil will ignite
spontaneously after becoming damp. A
steam pipe against wood will cause the
latter to ignite spontaneously after be
ing carbonized, particularly if super
heated steam enters the pipe, thus In
creasing the temperature.

The republican state platform, while
not fully satisfying the radicals OF
either side of the tariff controversy,
does what is much better, takes safer
and less radical ground. 1t takes q
position which all republicans can
take, for protection to our own indus
tries with occasional revisions when
needed because of changed conditions.
The policy of protection is one of the
chief tenets of the republican party.
However, the republican party Is the
most progressive, 'enterprising and
up-to-date political party that ever
did political business in this country,
always being ready to consider new
situations and meet all new problems.
The party's great power is largely in
this ability it has to grapple
successfully with new and present
questions. So when the changing
conditions of the worlds commerce
seem to make it to this country's in
terest to yield little of the tariff in
the way of reciprocity with some
other nations, the republican party
statesmen have pledged themselves to
carefully consider the matter and to
make some such changes If thought
advisable. But one thing they will
no lose sight of, that the markets OF
this country, the best in the world, be,
long to the producers of this country
if they can supply them. That helps
the producers here, and we are all
producers or ought to be.

William E. Curtis writes too much
to be accurate, No man who writes on
so nearly everything can be accurate
or very reliable. Curtis can come
nearer doing this than any one else.
His letters are very instructive if you
only knew when they were correct.
Some material breaks he recently
made in Des Moines about things that
Iowa men know more about than
he does, opened the eyes of Iowa peo-
pie to what they should have known
before, that there is limit to even
Curtis capacity to know things.

Officers of the army on duty In the
war department wear uniforms the
same as if they were on duty at mill
tary posts. The practice has resulted
in making nearly every room occupied
by officers a dressing room, where
wardrobes are kept. Most officers dis
like very much to appear on the street
In uniform; it makes them too con-
spicuous. Uniforms for use in the de-
partment are kept in wardrobe, and
the officers put them on when they
arrive in the morning, take them Off
and don civilian dress to go to lunch
con, and upon their return in the
afternoon and departure for home
later go through the same process.
They don't like 1t, but 1t is an order.
For people doing business at the de-
partment it is much better, for q
stranger knows whether he Is talking
with an officer or a clerk, and If IA
miliar with the emblems can tell the
rank of the officer.-Washingt Post.
