the death of persons owning property
who do not leave written instructions
as to its disposal, or because of the
loss of wills which have been made.
Where a will is filed with the probate
court by the testator, when in life,
there is claimed to be absolutely no
danger of its being lost or withdrawn
without the testator's knowledge, or
of its suppression from publicity after
the testator's death.
If a person files a will and at sub
sequent date wishes to withdraw it
and file another, the matter is easily
arranged All the testator does in
such case is to surrender to the judge
of probate the certificate of deposit
for the first will when he will be given
a new certificate for the new will.
Under this provision the will can be
changed at any time before the death
of the testator without expense.
If the testator desires to send some
other person to withdraw the will, he
must also send back the certificate
of deposit, Endorsed with his witness
sed signature in blankSpaces provided
on the back of the document.-Herald

Apples are bound to take a drop. Con-
ditions were never more suspicious for a
bountifal crop, at this time of year. So
too, with plum preserves, and even plum
pudding will be more plentiful this year
and be more commensurate with the
size of ones purse, for the conditions
which made last years crop so poor do
not obtain now. The very reverse of
conditions exist and it is assured that
there will be big plum harvest this
season. This is the prediction Of Pro-
fessor Wesley Greene, the veteran secfe-
tary Of the State Horticultural society,
and Prof. Greene is recognized as one of
the best experts in his line in the west.
"The lateness of the spring." said Prof.
Greene, "has served to retard the burst
ing forth of buds until so late that the
danger from frosts is greatly reduced.
In fact, it is safe to predict that blossom
ing will be so late this spring that
, frosts will do practically no damage.
"The cherry crop will be the only
poor one in the entire list of fruits.
This is due to the injury to the trees
! last year by reason Of fungus growth
that attacked many orchards and was
very difficulty to get rid Of. Straw
berries, currants, gooseberries fact,
every kind Of fruit should be unusually
plentiful in view Of existing conditions
and it is especially certain that the
plum and apple harvest this season will
be big one"

IOWA CORN RIOTS IN COLD WET
GROUND
Thousands of Acres Will Have to be
Replanted.

One twenty-five acre patch OF
mine had progressed until the green
shoots of corn could be seen in rows
in the field. The continued cold
weather has caused it to rot and
now | must replant the entire field.
There are thousands of acres in
Warren and Polk counties in the
same condition.-Wm. Gooch, farmer.
With three-fourths of the seed corn
of Iowa in the ground the prospects are
that thousands of dollars will be lost
through the rotting of the seed. Farm
ers in various sections report that
whole fields will have to be replanted.
The bulletin of the weather and crop
service says:
The week has been cooler than usual
the average daily temperature ranging
from to degrees below normal, with
light frosts in nearly all parts of the
state Except in limited areas the rain
fall was below the normal for this time
of the year. The first half of the week
was moderately warm, and conditions
were favorable for field work and the
growth of vegetation. The low temper
allure and rain in the latter part checked
termination and retarded corn planting
especially in the southern section; but
NO material injury resulted from frost.
Reports indicate very good progress
!; in corn planting. wherever the soil has
! been dry enough for field work. The
bulk Of the crop has been planted in ex-
tensiye portions of the northern and
central sections, and in the drier lands
Of the southern section. For the whole
state 20 to rs per cent Of the entire corn
area is planted under fairly good condi-
tions Of soil and filth. Warm and dry
weather is needed to complete planting
and insure normal growth. Thus far the
termination has been good as could be
expected. Generally grass and small.
grain are doing well. Reports as to the
more important fruits are quite favor
able. Though the season is late, the
general outlook is encouraging.

Enjoyable IdIeness.

Stevenson once said that extreme
business is sign Of deficient mentality.
A writer in the Washington Post, evil
IDENTIFY with Stevenson's idea in his
mind has written: "The inability to
enjoy idleness is one of the first signs
of prevented nature. A child can be
idle and happy, but few men can drop
their work and rest with any sense Of
pleasure. The momentum of constant
work carries them forward with head
long impetuousity, leaving them irritat-
ed and annoyed at every minute of UNI
occupied time" He goes on to remind
us that there are many ways Of being
idle with clear conscience, as was
Thoreau, for whose philosophy the
world has cause to be grateful, but who
yet was only an idler according to
modern standards, reminding us in con-
clusion of the poet-philosopher who
long ago said that "idleness is lass
harmful than Improbable occupation"
