Recruits for the Navy

Samuel Canavan, Chief
Oceans Mate in the service of
the United States Navy, has
opened a recruiting officein the
Oxford Hotel, where he can be
seen by any desiring to talk
over the matter of the navy.
MIR. Canavan has served twenty
three years in the navy and is
certainly hearty and thinks
there is no place like the
government service. He served
through the Spanish-Amerlcan
war and also in the Chinese
expedition. His position has
taken him all over the world
and is an interesting man to
meet.
The latest reports from Okla
homa is that it went Democrat
ic by a big majority, electing
everything from governor down
to road supervisors; also adop-
ted the Constitution containing
the prohibition clause. That is
a good start for the new State.
and as we have many Iowa DEM
ocratic friends down there, we
say to them: "Shake.
A young man is getting up a
score card to be used at the
races the coming fair which
will be complete in every re-
spect. If you go to the races,
buy one, for it will give full in
formation regarding the horses
and overs.

Weather Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, Ia, Sep. l6,
'07. Cool weather prevailed
the first half of the week, but
the latter part was warm
enough to give a slight excess
of temperature, with more than
the usual amount Of sunshine.
The amount of rainfall was
generally very light, the show
ers being widely scattered. In
some portions of the state rain
is needed to maintain growth
of pasturage and the late ma
turing vegetables, and to facili-
tate fall blowing.
The warm and dry weather
has been favorable to the corn
crop, which has made very sat
isfactory progress. Reports
indicate that early planted and
we'll cultivated fields in the
southern districts are ripe
enough to be cut and shocked.
In the central and northern
districts the ears are harden
ing, and the fields are rapidly
putting on the brown colors of
maturity. With a continuance
of normal weather during the
balance of this month, four
fifths of the corn crop will be
practically safe. The pastures
are still yielding a fair supply
lof forage.
