The Elma-Cresco Game.

Quite number of Cresco base ball
enthusiasts accompanied the Cresco
team to Elma on Sunday and were re-
warded by witnessing one of the best
games of the season, Cresco winning
by score of z to 0. The game was
very fast, being played in one hour and
fifteen minutes. Cresco had everything
their own way and at no time was
there any possible chance for Elma to
win.
Scheutz and Chapman We're the
Cresco battery and received first class
support from the local players.
Elma did not succeed in getting a
man past first until in the ninth inning,
which was the most exciting part Of
the game. First and third bases were
occupied and the man at the bat had
two strikes when he hit an infield ball
to the shortstop who played to first
and shut off all runs.
A return game will be given Elma
soon.

A Destructive Hailstorm.

This vicinity was visited by hail
storm Sunday evening which, while not
SO destructive as the hailstorm of last
year, passed over much the same ter
ritory. The damage extends in vary
| ing degrees from west Of Howard Cen
ter in southeasterly direction to the
river at Vernon Springs. West of town
considerable damage was done the crops

ry hail insurance. Considerable dam
age is also reported at the Will Web
ster, Henry Wilson and A. w. Isbell
places. The storm extended eastward
past the Will Church farm. 1t seems
to be the general opinion that the
small grain in the path of the storm
sustained more damage than did the
corn.

the hail which smashed in the neigh
borhood of 500 lights of glass at his
greenhouses, which loss is partially COW

Cresco Home Coming Festival.

The Lawn Tennis Association have
enlarged the scope of their proposed
fall entertaiement so as to include a
home coming and reunion of the early
settlers of Cresco and Howard County.
Forty-one years ago the city of Cresco
was plated and it was thought desire
able to arrange for reunion, with
suitable program, of the survivors of
the early residents.
The lectures and entertainments will
be given in a mammoth tent which will
be erected presumably in Gillett's
grove in the east part of town. This
location is easy of access and affords
plenty of shade.
The three big days will be Aug. Both
and 31st and Sept. 1st, although the
tennis tournament will commence one
day earlier. The attractions for the
three days will be as follows:

Is it the Green Bug7

Within the past few days good
many oat fields in this vicinity have
been showing unmistakable evidence
that something was wrong. Some
have attributed it to rust, others
to the after effects of frost, while 9
good many are inclined to the belief
that the damage is caused by the
dreaded green bug which caused such
devastation in the southwest earlier in
the season and which is now reported
to be at work in Ohio and Indiana. In
search of information as to the local
crop conditions we called on Will Hunt
ting, who informed us that in a drive
over considerable territory ne found
good many fields of oats which in his
estimation were considerably damaged,
but that barley and flax were in good
shape. He also showed us some of the
little louise like bugs which many are
claiming to be the genuine article OF
green bugs. Mr.. Hunting is some
what inclined to doubt that they are
and has sent few of the bugs to the
state entomologist for Identification.
Mr.. Hunting says that the bugs may
be found as thickly on barley as on oats
and the barley still be all right, but in
the southwest the bugs made no dis
tinction in the destruction of the differ
ent kinds of grain. Mr.. Hunting has
also been in correspondence with the
officers of the Hunting Elevator Co.
and they write him that the reports of
the green bug in Iowa and Minnesota
are without foundation and that in
every instance the bugs sent to the
entomologists for examination prove
to be harmless member of the aphid
family to which the green bug belongs.
The Minneapolis Journal of the 9Th
contained an editorial on the green bug
scare from which we quote as follows:
Professor Washburn, the state en-
tomologist, with the succient accuracy
of a man who has been intimate with
bugs all his life, calmly declares that
there are no green bugs as yet in north
western wheat fields and that there
are likely to be none. The devastating
green bug of Oklahoma bears so strong
resemblance to his harmless brother
aphid that has lived hereabouts ever
since wheat was raised, that it takes
an expert and magnifying glass to
detect the difference. But there is
decided difference in the habits of the
green bug and our own harmless louise.

cresco--Her Past, Present and Her
Future Prospects.

Mr.. Editor;
Please allow me small space in
your paper to express my views of the
natural and steady growth of our beau
tiful and widely spoken of Cresco, Iowa.
Just forty-one years ago, the sum-
mer of 1866, the foundation of Cresco
was first laid by those many good souls
who are laid away in our beautiful Gem
etery. Our first stores and dwellings,
were mostly moved from New Oregon
and Vernon Springs. A few of the
dwellings still remain, but the primi-
tive country store had to give way to
Cresco's fine brick business blocks
which adorn our Main street.
What a contrast between our first 4th
of July celebration and the one just
passed. The few of lis left can well re-
member our flat car excursion to Con-
over-our Pullman's had planks for
seats with tree branches for sun pro-
tectors. Our girls were out in their
sun-bonnets, decorated with our prairie
flowers, their mothers made suits mot
tailor made), the men and boys wore
their cowhide boots and straw hats,
but we were a jolly party. Our town
was packed with teams and wagons
carriages and automobiles We're not in
it. We had jolly 4th and only one
big knock down.
The question has been often discussed
what made Cresco what she is today,
and the true answer is, her fine farm
ing surroundings and thrifty farmers
with her wide-awake business men,
who were always on the lookout for the
good of our city and their patrons. We
then had no combines or department
stores.
The few old settlers left to wander
over our beautiful city of today and see
her fine houses, beautiful lawns and
well kept gardens and her miles of ce-
ment sidewalks would say with many
strangers who visit our town that Cres-
co and her people are progressive.
It's not her fine houses and lawns that
Dresco people feel proud of, it is our
fine schools and churches. Well might
we be called the city of churches, and
the question generally asked by the
homeseeker how is your town fixed
for schools and churches? Cresco can
answer with pride, we have all you de-
sire.
The future of Cresco looks brighter
than the past; the price of farming
lands will go up, city property will be
in demand, more business blocks will
be built, our electric road with her car
shops will bring to Cresco many fami-
lies who will find us. ready to receive
them. Many of our farmers will re-
tire and make their homes with us as
we can offer all who wish to be one of
us, cordial welcome to our ideal city.
Thanking you for your kindness for
space in your widely circulated Twice
a-Week, will close with that house,
hold song of John Howard Payne:
Home sweet home,
There is no place like home
