day life goes to prove in the days of
sorrow that came to the editor of this
paper and his family this week The
thread Of love and devotion which has
spun out over twenty-seven years sud-

the hearts to break that had stood so
long at the wheel. He that has prom

struggle of years is ended and the sweet
sleep Of peace and perfect faith in the
Advise Goodness which put courage

pense. The nobility and refinement OF
heart and mind were stamped indelibly
on the loved features and when the
spirit had Its flight the frail shell that
had housed it was beautiful to see.
The very essence of unselfishness,
the love of life and friends, the gentle

ton aggregate only $500 miles, and
$3.50, 100000 is given as the probable
cost Of laying the links to join the
North American and South American
systems. But the discouraging feature
OF the situation is that the work still
to be done falls in regions where the
local need Of railroads is least pressing
and where the capital invested would
be sunk with little or no hope OF res
turn within the century. At the two
ends of the chain progress In railroad
building is active and healthful, but in

waits on the slow development OF pops

sources.

projected will give an east and west
extension from the capital almost to

central American states the railroads

building of the Panama canal is conn-
ted on to stimulate the desire for d.

At the other end OF the line in the

tied in the county. 1t appeared that
the defendant had given an illegal
prescription upon which the sale was
made. He was not interested in the

mers ito raise their own flour" for the
berry is shriveled and light in weight.
OF course. there are some pieces OF
good wheat, but the general report is
that 1T don't pay to SOW wheat"
Potatoes are a big crop, good In quail
ity and quantity. Near to town farm
ers are now glad to sell at % cents per
bushel, and everything now goes to
show that the housekeeper can put in
a supply Of late potatoes at 20 to IS
cents.
Garden vegetables are all good, the
cabbage crop insuring many barrels
of kraut and low prices at the stores.
Fruit has been a blessing in the way
of strawberries and raspberries, while
cherries have probably never been so
abundant In Iowa as in 1904.
Hay is good but not SO heavy as some
years. and pasturage is still equal TO
all demands made upon 1t, and up to
this date seasonable showers and rain
has kept them in good condition.
But corn is our mainstay. and we
are more interested in 1t than any
other one crop. And on August IL the
prospect is splendid. Notwithstanding
that there is light stand, many fields
only running to two or three stalks, in
a hill, only a very early frost will pre-
vent a big crop in time. The ears now
formed are of good length, the silk
of healthy color. the tassels more
than abundant, and the stalks large
and sturdy. The wet places OF the
past two years are now covered with
as good a crop as ever grew in Iowa.
Sod corn is especially fine. The hill
tops on broken farms are not making
as good showing as during the past
two years.
While many localities, /. e., many wet
counties, have only had n very small
corn crop for the past two years. and
for that reason trade has been light In
such counties, there have been CONF
paratively few business failures. But
many men have gone OF business, and
vacant stores are very much in evl-
dence in such places. Travelling men
have Jumped" such territory, neces-
sarily making the hotel trade an up>
hill business, while the railroads have
the number of trains, simply
because there was not enough business
to Justify the former runs In many
Of these wet counties land went Off
$40 to $1h an acre. from the boom
prices Of 1901 and 1902.
All this shows how much we all de-
pend on the farm, farmer, and his
for business and prosperity.
Only the poultry and egg products and
good prices have kept many farmers
from running in debt. AS it was they
went without many things, in the way
of house itdornment and conveniences;
made old clothes last the longer, ana
economical in every way. But now
with present conditions OF small grain
and an almost certainty of a good corn
crop business in these wet counties Is
sure to pick up. The minimum amount
of drainage put in during the last two
years. as we'll as the present work in
this line under way, will soon make
the term wet" refer more to coun>
ties working under the muiot law,
rather than to the condition OF soil.

A LEFT OVER FROST.
IClarksville start

A frost in August ought to make the
oldest inhabitant scratch his few re-
manning hairs vigorously to determine
whether he had ever heard of such a
thing. The frost, which was light but
general. must have been left over from
spring, for it certainly cannot be that
fall is so close at hand. If corn is not
to be nipped it will have to prick up
its ears lively and display more silk
that it is at present. But then. it is
still a long time before the usual time
for shoveling snow.
