EARLY CROPS HEAVY.

vest is now in full swing turnout this
section of the state The crop, while
somewhat uneven, is going to average
up we'll. There is no longer any doubt
that rust did some injury, especially
to the late grain, and the yield in
quite a number Of localities will be re-
duced on account of it. Early barley
Welded far better than late barley,
early oats have proven better than late
oats and early wheat is better than
late wheat Considerable barley has
been threshed and yields reported here
have been from 81 to As bushels to the
acre.
A great many fields Of wheat are go.
ing to run from 20 to IS bushels to the
acre. which will make up for some
lower averages. and the, county's wheat
crop as a. whole is going to be above
the average, and so is winter rye. Oats
will probably be less than an average
crop. Rain is badly needed for corn
and pasturage. and potatoes here are
making no further progress as the
ground about them is very dry. Scat
tered showers have visited different
parts of the county from time to time
in recent weeks, but this city and some
other sections have been missed en-
tirely.

WAR ON SUNDAY PLAYS.
Cedar Rapids Crusade stirs Up Much
Strife,

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 14.-The fight
started some time ago for the Sunday
closing of the theaters is stirring up an
immense amount of strife in this city
and at this time it is impossible to
tell what is to be the end. The COM
mittee of twenty five, representing the
various mems church clubs of the city,
are insistent on their demands on the
city council that they pass an ordinance
prohibiting the opening of the theaters
on Sundays, and it begins to look very
much as tho they would be successful.
The council claims these people are
taking an undue advantage of them;
that they should not be called upon ito
Judge the matter, but that it is one
for the people themselves to settle. But
the committee insists differently.
In the meantime those who believe
that the closing of the theaters on
Sunday would be a real menace, or
who are opposed to closing them from
any standpoint, are preparing to fight
the matter vigorously, and from the
trend of affairs during the past few
days it looks as tho it ultimately
would be settled by the people, ire
spective of what action is taken by the
council Under the commission plan
of government under which Cedar
Rapids is now operating no ordinance
becomes effective until ten days -hays

elapsed after It's passage. If, before
that time has elapsed a protest, signed
by % per cent of the total vote at the
preceding election, shall be filed, then
the council must reconsider the ordl-
nance, and unless they repeal the Cd
jectionable ordinance, then 1t must be
submitted to vote of the people.
either at q special or general election,
but in any event within ninety days
1t is now stated that If the council
passes the ordinance desired by tho
committee that protest will be filed,
in which event it will come to vote
of the people at the November cleo
ton. And the probabilities are that
that Is just what will happen, for the
council Is DESTROYS that the people
should settle the matter.
AS having an important bearing on
the question the Federation of Labor
ait a largely attended meeting, adopted
resolutions which vigorously protest
against the passage of the ordinance.
In adopting the resolutions the FEEDER
alton declares itself law abiding ana
for clean and moral city, but refers
to the Sunday theater as clean, pure
and innocent amusement.
Much i'll feeling Is being stirred up
and If the matter is submitted to the
people there is good reason TO believe
that it will be the bitterest campaign
that has ever been waged in Cedar
Rapids.
