Weather-Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, Iowa, June Is,
1908. The average tempera-
ture and sunshine have been
below the normal during the
past week in all parts of the
state, and the rainfall was be-
low normal over the northeast
err, and above in the southwest.
ern half of the state. Showers
occurred in some part of the
state every day during the
week, yet there was an aver
age of four days without rain,
and work in the cornfelds was
vigorously pushed. Most of
the early planted fields have
been cultivated once, and, in
many localities, the second
cultivation is we'll advanced.
Considerable planting and re-
planting was done in the fields
which had previously been too
wet. Many fields in the river
bottoms and on flat; undrained
land are still covered with
water, or are too wet to permit
any work being done, but for
the state at large there has
been a decided improvement in
the condition of our staple crop
although there will be a de-
crease in the anticipated acre
age, as many fields have been
or will be abandoned. The
final acreage will probably be
about the same as that of last
year. The cool weather was
beneficial to small grain, in pre-
venting the development of
rust, and those crops, together
with grass and potatoes, are re-
ported to be in very thrifty
condition. Hay making is re-
ported as having begun in Iowa
county, and some alfalfa has
been cut in Marion county.
The yield of cherries, which
are now getting ripe. will be
Large over most of the north
ern and light in southern dis
tricts, but Strawberries give
promise of a fair crop in all
parts of the state. The apple
crop will be light.

The 9Th street bridge across
the Boyer at Lo,an, is one over
which there is a great deal OF
travel. The one there now is
sadly in need of repair, and
will costa considerable sum to
repair it. Would it not be bet
ter to take the old bridge away
and replace with a modern ce-
ment foored bridge like thu t on
Erie street in Mo. Valley? IT
looks to us that it would be
good business economy to do so.
OF course the bridges of the
county are increasing in num-
Der as the drainage systems are
enlarged, and, as lumber is con-
stantly depreciating in quality
and approaching in price, it is
not good economy to brild
bridges composed largely OF
wool. Steel and cement ere
the cheapest in the long lun,

which the Storz Brewing Co.,
of Omaha has just put on the.
market. The first of a series

We understand the Triumph

ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

President ]. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, of which in the freshman and
sophomore years, he disapproves.
"a freshman of 16 or H." said Pres
ident Schurman, lis too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind is not mature
enough. 1t will make mistakes.
in it's immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He,
though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that he put in
practice In the cemetery.
1.-THE old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head
stone, with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
But inscriptions, he found. were
very expensive. He economical in
| this way:
"He had the Christian name of each
wife cut on small stone above her
grave-"Emma," MARY" Hester
Edith" Under each name hand
pointed to a large stone in the cen
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:
"'For epitaph see large stone.'"

JOHNNIE MATHEWS TAKEN FROM

New Jersey Farmers, Fooled limo
After Time by Swift Current in
Icy Stream, Are Finally
Successful.

Pennington, N. AFTER iaboring
all night In the swollen, ice filled
stream OF the South Branch river
band of farmers succeeded shortly be-
fore dawn in rescuing seven year-old
Johnnie Mathews, marooned on
wagon in the midst of the. torrent.
The river was rising inch by inch
as the men worked, and the boy was
taken of in the nick of time, the
wagon having disappeared beneath the
food when light came.
News of the boys periloIs plight
was brought to neighboring farmers
by the two men who were driving
with the boy when the wagon became
stalled. They were Frederick Rowe
and Arbor Marshall.
With a team of horses they had
started for Pennington and attempted
to cross the south branch at Packers
island, they said.
The river was in flood several feet
deep over the embankment, but the
| horses kept on until they were close
to the bridge ITSELF There the cur
rent became far swifter and the ice
swept down in great masses.
The roar of the stream and the
blows of the ice terrified the team and
they baked. The men whipped and
coaxed, but the animals only whin

Against the Current.

fog, however, and the farmers knew
there still was time.
Three of the strongest at once start
ed out together in an effort to ford
their way as far as they could and
swim the rest. The distance was not
great, but they soon were forced TO
turn back by the swirling rapids and
great cakes of ice.
The rescuers knew it all was over
with the lad II he fell asleep, SO they
kept calling to him frequently through
the night. The seven-year-old boy
kept his nerve and held to his pre-
carious seat, while the food roared
through the trees and structure of the
bridge and the ice cakes struck and
shook the wagon.
All the while the water rose slowly
but steadily and drove the rescuers
back. The cries of the boy spurred
the men on to further efforts. and at
intervals through the night fresh at
tempts were made to swim to the
wagon. In each case the rescuers
were driven back exhausted.
1t was long after midnight when a
rowboat was brought up on a wagon
and launched. Two men got in it and
with a lantern aboard rowed out. The
sweep of the racing tide and the buff
feting of the ice caught them and their
boat was driven down stream. way
from Johnnie, whose cries had grown
feebler.
The boat was driven ashore a mile
away from the bridge. More precious
time was passed in transporting the
little craft to point mile above the
bridge. so that it could float down in
the center of the. stream. Rowing
with all their strength against the
current, the men in the boat slackened
its speed as they neared the bridge.
There the man in the stern leaned
far out and, catching the half frozen
boy by the shoulder, pulled hin
aboard. While the ice crunched
against it the boat was swept on. but
a landing was made safety. and rs
dawn was streaking the sky Johanis
