Des Moines, Aug. 4.-The weather
during the past week was excellent
for field work and the growth of corn.
Haying and harvesting are nearing
completion, and threshing operations
are becoming general. The tempera-
ture during the week was uniformly
high. except during the nights of
Thursday and Friday, which were
moderately cool.
The daily average temperature
ranged from about normal in the
northwest to three and four degrees
above normal in the eastern counties.
The rainfall was below normal in all
districts, and the sunshine was excess
i've. Light and widely scattered local
showers occurred on the Goth and Goth,
which afforded some relief from
drouthy conditions over the eastern
part of the state The heavy rains
referred to in the bulletin of last week

river divide. and were especially
heavy in the valleys of the Raccoon

In a few localities, corn is beginning
to show the effect of dry weather, but
there has been no damage done yet:
rain would. however be beneficial In
all sections.
Threshing returns from central and
northern districts show better yields OF
small grain than was indicated by the
early reports from southern districts.
The yield of oats Is better than antici-
pated during harvest, but will be be-
low the average. Wheat, rye and bar
ley are giving fair to good yields. and
the quality of all grain is generally
good Pastures and potatoes remain
in good condition. but would be bene-
fitted by rain.

TELEGRAPH

A CHEAP, popular telegraph service
"a is a necessity of modern civiliza-
"A ton. In the United States the
distances between friends, relatives and
business associates are so much greater
than in the United Kingdom that there
is more necessity for popularizing the
telegraph here than in the older and
smaller country. Yet the United King
dom nationalized the telegraph service
many years ago, and we are still only
talking about it.
Since the international cheap mail
rate has been established, that archaic
gouge, the exorbitant tariff of telegraph
and cable companies, is more obnoxious
than ever. Why should the telegraph
service stand still when every other
utility of civilization is being brought
nearer the people? In many parts of
the country there is a telephone in
every home, and there is not any rea-
son why telegraphing should be any
more expensive than telephoning.
When special messenger service entails
time, trouble and expense, it is right
the sender or recipient of the message
should pay, but there is no longer
any reason why the rate per word
should not be reduced to a minimum,
and why telegraphing should not be-
come one of the common conveniences
of everyday modern life.
One of the arguments for a postal
telegraph is the low rate it will estab-
fish for transmitting kilograms. When
the business passes to the government.
every appliance for cheapening the cost
of operation will be adopted. No longer
viii there be any so-called business
necessity for depriving the public of
the advantage of the latest inventions
for cheapening the cost of operation.
There are inventions in existence by
which the service capacity of the tele-
graph could be increased tremendously.
By one appliance, which has been test
ed, a thousand words a minute can
be sent over any circuit of reasonable
length, say from New York to Chi
cago.
Recent inventions have made it pos
sible to send nearly one million words
over a single wire between these two
cities in sixteen hours. 1t is useless
to expect the public will ever get the
benefit of modern revolutionary i'm
provements in telegraphy until the gov
ernmAnt adds to it's excellent postal
service a high grade, modern, satisfac-
tory and cheap telegraph service.
