Heavy Rains Retard the Wheat
Harvest in the Northwest
ern District
CORN CROP RELIEVED, HOWEVER
Pastures Also Show Marked Improve
ment, and Late Potatoes Give Prom
Use of an Ample YieId-Sprng Wheat
and Oats Considerably Damaged by
Unfavorabe Weather.
Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines. Aug 1.-THE wea thei
and crop bulletin for the week ending
August II. is as follows:
The average temperature for the
past week was slightly above the nor
NAL in the eastern half of the state,
and slightly below in the western
districts. The rainfall was unequa!-
ly distributed, as usual at this time of
the year, but all parts of the state re-
ceived some benefit from the show
cry weather that prevailed the tirst
half of the week. The heaviest show
ers were reported from stations in the
northwest, north central, and cas-
central districts In the northwest
district the heavy rains retarded and
cloudy weather caused grain in shocks
to sprou.. In limited areas considera-
BILE damage to spring wheat and oats
resulted from the unfavorable local
conditions. For the state at large, the
copous rains for the week has been
of nestimable value. The corn crop
has been relieved at it's most critical
stage; pastures show marked improve
ment and late potatoes give promise
of AN ample yield. in portions OF the
southern section more rain is desired
within a few days, but in the central
and nothern sections there is an am
pie supply Of moisture to bring al
crops to maturity.

ASKS $1,000 FOR NAP IN CAR.
illinois Politician Who Passed Station
Sues Pullman COMPANY

East ST. Louis, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Be-
cause he failed to reach Granville
in time to make his speech July 4,
S. w. Baxter, prominent republican
of this city, private secretary to SUI
preme Judge A. K. Vickers, has sued
the Pullman Car Company for $1,000,
the amount he thinks his speech
would have been worth to him. On the
trip to Granville Baxter fell asleep
and the Pullman conductor and por-
ter failed to awaken him. He got off
at the next station and had to walk
half way back to Granville, the re-
mainder of the five miles being made
in an OK wagon that he hired from a
farmer The wagon drew up at the
picnic just as the people were leaving
and Baxter was unable to deliver his
speech.

found that this had been interpreted
by the supreme court, and he informed
the bureau Of that interpretation,
which rendered it necessary somewhat
to modify the method of letting COM
tracts heretofore pursued.
The New York contract for meat was
one of those resulting from the modi
fcation, but whatever may happen 1t
is the intention of the secretary either
to cancel the contract or compel the
contractor to furnish supplies which
will pass d rigid inspection.

WEAKNESS IN CORN MARKET

Corn.
Smaller receipts than the estimated

weakening effect on corn. September

to 1914. Receipts were $50 cars.
The market held fairly steady, Sep
TENDER closing unchanged at 491s.
Oats.

Receipts were 306 cars.
Provisions.
Despite five cent advance in hogs,
provisions were inclined to weakness.
Selling by commission houses was the
cause of the easier tone.

WHERE DEEPEST LOVE ABIDEs.
Gods Goodness Chiefly Felt by Those
in Tribu alton.

Where is it that God, in His search
ing of the hearts of His children,
hears the tones of the deepest love-
and sees on the uplifted face the light
of the most heartfelt gratitude? Not
where His gifts are most profuse, but
where they seem most meager; not
where the suppliant's worship glides
forth from the cushion of luxury
through lips saturated with plenty and
rounded by health; not within the
halls of successful ambition, or even
the dwellings of unbroken domestic
peace; but where the outcast, flying
from persecution, kneels in the even.
ing on the rock whereon he sleeps;
by the fresh grave, where, as the
earth is opened, heaven in answer
opens too; by the pillow of the vast.
ed sufferer, where the sunken eye,
denied sleep, converses with silent
star, and the hollow voice eniImeratea
in low prayer the scanty list Of com.
forts and the shortened tale of hopes.

How DaImatian Peasants Live,

In the interior of Dalmatia the la.
borers still live in the old patriarchal
fashion. The eldest male rules the
household as might some car; in fact,
it is not so many years since he had
life and death power over it's inmates.
When son weds he brings his wife
to his fathers house, that the prop
erty may remain in the family. There,
while he works in the field-for they
are peasant farmers, W rking lands
held by hereditary proprietors, almost
as might the serfs of Russia-she
tends the dwelling. When his guests
come she sends out not only for him,
but for the patriarch, since he alone
can really welcome visitor and he
keeps the keys to the shelf where is
stored the gin in which toast is Of
fered to friendship.
