1t Is astonishing how great change
few years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from u

matron is only dim shadow. a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to The system through the

Weather-Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 8, 1907
Following an unusually mild winter,
spring opened about two weeks early,
with phenomenally warm weather in
the last decade OF March, and very
favorable conditions for an early be-
ginning of farm operations. The sur
face dried rapidly, and in all districts
a considerable amount of seeding was
done on the fall plowed land before the
1st of April.
The first week IN April wasssrelative-
ly cooler, though the average was
about the normal. The first half was
slightly above and the latter part be-
low the average, with heavy frost and
ice on the morning of the 9th. The
rainfall was below the normal, except
in a limited portion of the southeast
district. Well distributed showers on
Saturday night and Sunday, followed
by light snow fiurries, afforded very
welcome moisture to the newly seeded
fields.
The crop season opens with fatter-
ing prospects. Very much more than
the usual amount Of seeding has been
done, with the soil in extra good tilth
for the reception of seed. and plowing
is in progress preparatory for planting
corn. The chief drawback on the
farms is the scarcity of help to take ad-
vantage of favorable conditions.
AS yet we have no reports of serious
damage to fruit buds.

A grand and unprecedented boom in

Thousands and thousands Of dollars are

remodeled and used as hall, which
when completed will cost nearly $685.

Cresco house mover will move the old
church on the church lots southwest of
the school house for $250.00, which he
will commence at once. Jos. Balse, of
Cresco, will excavate the basement for
the new church for $4,000. All brick
except outside will be purchased from
the Cresco brick yards, and will require
somewhere about 100000 bricks. This
church will be all brick, stone and
cement, except the roof, and it will
take over 10000 feet of lumber to finish
it. We were in hopes to be able to
send you photograph of the church
