Weather Crop Bulletin

For the week ending Aug. "a
1908. Des Moines, Iowa. The
past week was considerably
cooler than usual, the average
daily deficiency in temperature
being from six to eight degrees
The days were quite warm and
bright, making ideal conditions
for farm work, but the nights
were too cool for maturing the
belated corn. A few seattle red
light showers occurred over the
western and southern districts,
but over a large part of the
state little or no rain. fell Corn
is i'm a healthy condition and
making as good a growth as
could be expected with the cool
nights. Reports indicate that,
with normal weather, about 35
per cent of the crop will be
safe from the effects of killing
frost by September 18th, 62 per
cent by September 25th, and
85 per cent by October LIST.
With favorable weather condi-
lions up to October 18th, from
80 per cent to IS per cent of
the crop will mature, but, UNI
der the best of conditions, there
will be considerable soft corn.
Pastures are in excellent con-
Idition, and the aftermath in
meadows is growing rapididly.
Clover promises a good crop of
seed, and the yield of timothy
seed will be fully up to the av-
erage.

'Pass the Hat for Bryan
Our Republican friends seem
inclined to feel proud to think
that Judge Taft, their candidate
for President, is the rich mans
candidate; they even boast that
Pennsylvania alone will contrib
ute to the Taft fund, five hum
dred thousand dollars. Well, if
that is correct, it only shows a
disposition on their part to d.
vide the political spoils secured
to them by special legislation
by the friends of Judge Taft.
1t is all right for those who
have grown rich off the flesh
and blood of labor and toll of
others tc be liberal, and those
who give in that State are to be
found among the iron mongers,
the steel syndicates, the oil and
coal trusts, and the protected
manufacturers men who toll
not neither do they spin. Yes,
these Pennsylvania nabobs can
we'll say to the democrats; Pass
the hat for Bryan" He is the
poor mans friend, to the farmer
and laboring man he looks for
support, and while we all know
that it takes money to conduct
a political campaign, our Re-
publican friends should not he
vain and proud because they
can commend their millions,
while the democrats can only
have dollars. 1t is no disgrace
to be poor, nor is it always an
honor to be rich DON'T sheer
at the poor pass the hat. I"
We remember in 1910 when
parties were divided into Wing
and Democrat democrats had
become strong and proud. In
that year Martin VanBuren, of
New York, was the democratic
candidate, and Gen. VIM. Henry
Harrison, of Ohio, was the Wig
candidate. When Harrison, the
farmer, was nominated, one Of
the kid glove variety, in a pub
lie speech in the east, said: -
"Wlll you vote for a man for
President of the United States
who lives in a Log Cabin, wears
a Coon Skin Cap, and drinks
Hard Cider?"
The Wings adopted the
challange, built log cabins all
over the country, and donned
the Coon skin cap, and the la
dies wore the coon tail on their
hats as an ornament, and Gen.
Harrison was elected by a vote
of 2S4 electoral votes, to Van
Buren, 60. "Pass the Hat for
