day is not to be a long one, for
our schools are to open soon.
The Hustler now at"the; beginn-
ing of q new school year, entreats
every boy and girl of school age
in Henderson County, to enter
the first day that school opens,
and stay until it closes.
One great reason why our schools
are not successful is that the par
ents fail to have their children at
tend regularly. A child losses in
terest, gets behind in it's classes,
when it begins to stay out of
school. We care not how hard the
teacher may work, he may have
complete control over his classes,
every pupil may be induced to
high endeavor through the inspi-
ration caught from his teacher,
but just so soon as the pupil be-
gins to miss school the link be-
tween teacher and pupil is weak
ened, and finally the pupil has
lost all interest in school and
study. The teacher at one time
had complete control over this
pupil; he could thrill his young
soul with . thirst for knowledge,
. desire for the sublime and beau
tiful. But remaining at home

Parents, let us reason together;

MARRIAGE & DIVORCE.
The Past Year Was a Busy One In
Mahaska County. --..

The annual report of the county
clerk showing the number of divorces
and marriage licenses granite from
July !, 1906, to July /, 1907, has beer
completed by L. e. Corlett and sent
in to the state au 1itor.- The average
daily record in the marriage license
market in the county is practically
one per day, as the total number fol
the year fails but two short of that
record. From July /, 1906, until the
close of that year the licenses grant
ed numbered 140, and from the frs;
of this year to July /, there were III.
making total of 81 for the 81
working days in that period. During
the same length of time there were
grante1 by the district court of Ma
haska county 81 divorce DEGREES. Tlis
number, however, does not include the
petitions now pending in the court
nor the petitions which were dismiss
ed or refused during the past foui
terms of the district court
The past two weeks have set a rec
ord which has never before beer

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY TIE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des MoineS, Iowa, July %. - The
week was seasonable in temperature,
and tropical in respect to humidity,
cloudin"ss and rainfall. Thunder
storms were of daily occurrence in
some portions of the state, and in ok.
tended areas heavy damage resulted
from torrential showers, severe wind
squalls and lightning. All observers
report an excess of moisture and sat.
urated condition of the soil, causing
loss of crops on low lands by flooding,
and delaying farm work in cora mead,
ows and grain fields.
The extent of damage caused by
wind and floods can not be estimated
at this time, but it is certain that the
result will be apparent in the final re-
port of the staple crops. The corn
crop mas suffered loss of acreage by
flood and abandonment to the weeds,
probably more than double the esti-
mated Increase of acreage indicated in
the June report. On wen drained
lands, where the crop was laid by I'm
good condition, cora mas made very
rapid growth, and tassels are shown
in early planted fields. With favor.
able weather in the future the flaal
yield may be fairly good. The oats
crop is mostly ready for the harvest,
and some of it is in shock. 1t has
suffered material loss, by the wet
weather and windstorms of the past
two weeks. Spring wheat ana barley
have suffered from the same adverse
conditions. The hay crop has suf-
fered some loss by wet weather, but
the pastures have gained materially
The week closed with clearing skies
and a brighter outlook.

WAL TER COULSON
DIES OF INJURIES

FELL OUT OF THE FAMILY CAR.
s RAGE EAST OF TOWN.
WHEEL PAssEs OVER ABDOMEN
A Ruptured Blood Vessel Results and
the Little Fellow Passes Away
Before Medical Aid Could
Be Secured.

A most distressing accident result
ed in the almost instant death of Wal,
ter L. Coulson, sevel-yearoli son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Lou Coulson. of Spring
Creek township, Sunday evening
Driving home Just before dusk with
all the family, the little fellow fell
out of the rear seat of the spring wag
on in which they were riding, and the
back wheel of the vehicle passed over
the abdomen Of his body, breaking a
blood vessel. He was picked up and
Eurriedly taken to his home, but
death resulted before any of the three
physicians who were summoned ar.
rived.
The story of the accident is Snort
but none the less sad, AMI the grief OF
the parents and relatives is shared Dy
a legion OF friends who have known
the family for years. Having spent
the afternoon at Mr.. Coulson's sisters
Mrs. VIM. T. Sopher, the five mem
be"s of the family were driving nome
in light spring wagon. 1t was NOT
late, but just getting dusk, and all
were enjoying the cool evening breeze
Mrs. Coulson was sitting in the back
seat with her son Walter and sister
and 1t is thought that the little fell
low leaned over to pick up a few flow
ers, which had been dropped in the
bottom of the wagon, when ne lost
his balance and fell. The snock
came so suddenly that no one realized
the full seriousness of the accident
until the injured one had been picked
UP and taken home, when he quickly
weakened and 1t was certain that the
life was about to pass from the little
body. Notning could be done to ease
the child's wounds, but the stricken
parents and friends did everything
possible to check the inevitable end.
Walter Coulson was born in this
county, as were both of his parents
on April 4, 1900, and leaves a brother
