Des Moines, Iowa
The average daily temperature was
about 3 degrees above the normal,
with excessive humidity and nearly
the normal amount of sunshine, rem
dering the weather oppressive to man
and beast. Frequent showers, mainly
at night, with heavy dews and fogs,
interfered with farm operations in
haying, harvesting and threshing. Ex-
cept in the northwest district, the
rainfall was generally excessive. On
the evening of the 7th considerable
damage to crops and buildings was
caused by heavy windstorms in the
north central district.
Reports Indicate that Some progress
was made during the latter half of the
week in haymaking, harvesting and
threshing. The corn crop has made
very rapid advancement in all we'll
cultivated fields. Pastures have never
been better. Potatoes on dry soil are
very promising, and the gardens are
unusually productive.

Speaking of AmerIca;s naval base
 on the Pacific a writer in the Engin- eering magazine says that the Puget Sound navy yard Is located at the head of Port Orchard. an inlet from Puget sound. in Kitsap county, Wash ington. The yard is approximately
 l30 statute miles from the open sea;
 is 2,4O0 miles from Honolulu, 4.0OO miles from Panama, and 5000 miles from Manila. It can be said without exaggeratiOn that the yard is the best situated naval station in the world. There are two channels leading from the main sound to the navy yard. one from the north through Agate Pass and the other from the east through
 Rich's Passage. The bottom of the bay descends quite rapidly to a depth at mean low tide of 90 feet. sufficient to float the largest man-of-war. Af- ter reaching this depth the bed of the bay deseends slowly to the middle where a depth of 50 feet is reached. Port Orchard bay. the harbor in front of the navy yard. covers an area of about three square miles. thus afford ing secure anchorage. with excellent holding ground in from six to eight fathOms. for at least fifty men-of-war

One of the most sensational trials of the age came to an end yesterday when jury at Boise, Idaho, set Will liam Haywood free. The great ma- jority of people are pleased with the verdict. Even those who do not sanc- tion labor unions couldn't bring themselves to believe that the officers of any union would sanction whole sale murder. The effort to fasten the killing of Steunenberg on these Fed eration of Miners officers was bold and daring piece of work, and that it has failed shows that the people of that part of the country are not as prejudiced as some people supposed. Now that Haywood is set free, what of Orchard, a confessed murderer? Will the promises made to him before the trial hold good now that a not guilty verdict has been reached, de- spite his sensational and brazen evil denee? If he is as guilty as he has said on the witness stand, his term of life will be short. On his own evil dence he is traitor and murderer
 It is nonsense to try to reclaim such a man, and the least he should get is lifetime with the chain gang.

STORY OF GRAHAM FLOUR.

Graham flour is so named from Dr Sylvester Graham, who in 1929 first used and strongly recommended foods made from unbolted four. The gra- ham bread aud crackers made in those days were coarse and unpalatabls ani were eaten more as a dietary obliga- ton than as an enjoyable food.
 But, In accordance with the theory of Dr Graham, foods made from ibis four proved to be very beneficial. The digestion was rgthened-the appe- tite improved- hEc the coarseness Of the four had q stimulating estcet upon the digestive organs.
 The graham :oOds, througl experi- ncnt and skin. became more dnl more aaIatable b.stii E1Gsly the real graham cracker-the tempting food-was pro- duced by the National Biscuit com pany. Its flavor is that of the sweet. nutty kernel of wheat. almost a les sert-it is SO rich and delicious. Used instead of bread at any meal. 1t fur nishes sn agreeable change. For lunch or late supper it satisfactorily takes the place of meats and ileavy food and lesves none of their ili-ef- fleets. As a cereal at breakfast nothing can excel graham crackers and cream.
 The National Biscuit company gra- lam rTgekers are packed in mossturu and dust-proof boxes. keeping in all tIK-ir oven trispness. freshness and flavor. When you open box II is equivalent to taking them from the oven. and therefore graham crackeSs should be served from the original package to be enjoyed at their best All grooers keep the graham crackers os rIe Nsto1aI Biscuit comraoy.
