From Wednesdays Daily.
T. J. Hall will go as delegate to the
annual encampment of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic which will be held
in San Francisco, Cal, August II to
"a. This is the second time that the
Grand Army has met in San Francis
CO and it will doubtless be the last
time. Seventeen years ago the en-
campment met there and this. body is
not likely to revisit any city at short
err intervals.
Every Family Represented.
Almost the entire membership of
this distinguished and honorable So
ciey live in the eastern and
central states. 1t is not a
continuing body. Into it's ranks
no man can enter who did not serve
his country in the army or navy dur
ing the years from 1861 to 1865. That
such host Of survivors remain of a
conflict which ended nearly forty
years ago is solemn evidence of the
desperate nature of the struggle which
demanded the personal service of rep
resentatives from almost every Ameri-
can family existing at the time. 1t
accounts, also, for the supreme inter-
est which the people always take in
the annual reunions of these veterans.
For the Last Time.
Those who founded the society and
still survive have become venerable
men, whose whitening locks bear wit
ness to their approaching end. Seven
teen years hence there will doubtless
remain some struggling remnants Of
that mighty host, who, with feeble
steps, will wend their way to the ap-
pointed rendezvous once more to meet
their old comrades in arms and renew
their VOWS of fraternity, charity and
loyalty. Whatever honor San
Francisco ever intends to
pay to the survivors Of the

Heat Is Intense.
: At Fort Washington 1t was in
tensely hot and many soldiers who
participated and spectators of the
grand pageant were overcome. Five
cases of prostration were reported but
none were serious. In the first divi.

taken, there being two ambulances in
attendance, while in the second divi-

gent of the medical department were

noon there would probably have been

Crops in Good Condition.
Des Moines, July Unusually warm
weather prevailed during the past
week from Monday morning to Friday
night. The rainfall was equally dis
tributed, some very heavy showers oc-
curing inthe northwest quarter of the
state In all districts the amount of
moisture is ample for the needs of the
crops. and generally there has been
but little hindrance by wet weather.
Corn has made rapid growth and the
early planted fields are being laid by in
good condition, some portions of the
crop being up to the standard in size
and vigor. Cultivation of late planted
corn is in progress, with improving
prospects of reaching maturity. Wheat,
oats and barley are doing fairly well.
The potato crop in many localities is
unusually good. The hay harvest is
in progress in nearly all sections, and
in the larger part of the state the yield
will be very heavy.
Reports from county and township
crop reporters for July l have been
tabulated, showing the following per-
centages of condition: Spring wheat,
SO per cent: corn IT.; oats 81; barley
80; rye 9S; flax So; meadows 104; pas
lures 1O7; potatoes SO; apples TO-;
plums 40; grapes 70.
Last year at corresponding date the
percentages were as follows: Wheat
81; corn 90; oats 95; rye SO; barley
81; flax 80; potatoes 10S; meadows SO;
pastures 1O7; apples 65; grapes IS.
A revised estimate of the area of
corn planted this year shows 81 per
cent, or an average .desrease of 10 per
cent, compared with the area planted
in 1902.
