Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. l, 1909-The
average temperature during the past
week was very nearly normal and
while the rainfall was generally de-
ficient showers occurred on one to
three days over the larger part of the
state. The first three days of the
week were cloudy and moderately cool
with frequent light showers, but the
last four days days were clear and hot.
Thursday being the warmest day of the
year, the maximum temperatures rang
ing from 80 to 100 degrees. The rains
were timely and especially beneficial to
corn, potatoes, pastures and garden
vegetables. Corn is doing remarkably
well and has not yet suffered from the
lack of moisture in any part of the
state. Nearly all of the early planted
fields are in full tassel and caring
nicely. The belated corn is doing its
best, but great deal of the very lat
est cannot mature unless frost occurs
much later than usual. The weather
has been exceptionally favorable for
haying and harvesting and most of the
hay and grain crops have been secured
in the best of condition Harvest work
is now nearing completion and thresh-
ing will become general during the
coming week Early reports of thresh-
ing Indicate winter wheat to be of good
quality with yields ranging from twen-
ty to thirty-five bushels. The quality
of oats is better than for the past two
years and the yield ranges from TWEEN
ty-five to forty-tive bushels. Consid
cradle timothy has been cut for seet
in the southern districts and more will
be cut during the coming week.
Pastures and potatoes are doing wei
but will soon need more rain. Rail
would also be very beneficial to corn
especially in the eastern and northeast
ern counties where the rainfall durin!
the past month has been below tn
average for July.

Big Families of Depositors.

The interest displayed by the public in
the offer of the Cresco Union Savings
Bank to add 81 to each savings account
of So or more started at their bank by a
child under Is years of age, does not
lessen in the least. The officers of the
bank report that the plan is working
to their entire satisfaction, new de-
posits being made daily. and believe
that it has produced results in one re-
spect especially which no other bank
can duplicate, ore family of seven and
another of eight, all under Is years of
age, having opened good accounts.
We believe that such occurances of sc
many depositors among children in one
family must be very rare and will be
pleased to hear from other families
| who can boast of so large, or even {
smaller, number of depositors.

The Camp Meeting Progresses.

AS advertised by the bills announc-
ing the Cresco Circuit camp meeting
the Rev. Mr.. Cough spoke to appre-
ciative audiences on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. On Friday and
Saturday evenings as scheduled, the
Rev. j. Arthur Young of Ridgeway de-
lighted those who heard him with mas
terly appeals. Sunday was a red let
ter day. A trio of young men, the pas
tor aiding, furnished special numbers
throughout the day, which with the
aid of the union choir in the forenoon
and solo by Miss Miller of Fayette,
alone offered inducements large enough
to draw large crowds from neighbor-
ing districts.
The musical treat was, however, but
smattering of the good things pre-
fered to the people on that day. DR..
Cooper thoroughly proved himself a
master of assemblies, and by his easy
grace both in the pulpit and in private
conversation won the hearts of all
Rev. Gammons delivered one of his
enthusiastically eloquent addresses
in the afternoon and gave to the day
it's crowning success. We are deeply
indebted to all for their attendance ane
hearty good will. The minister, Rev
Luce, has plans under way for big
day on the closing Sunday, Aug. 8
The Rev. Mr.. Bindenberger, who is
field secretary for Upper Iowa Uni
versity, will preach on that day, ably
assisted by the Rev. H. Williams o
Lime Springs. Those who heard Mr.
Bindenberger some time ago in tn
Cresco M. E. church, and Mr. Williams
on Chautauqua Sunday, know wha
treats are in store for those who come
Cold running water is within ten rod

A lot of Guarrelsorne Scottish

BRIDGEPORT SIXTY
 SIX YEARS AGO

That the columns of the Farmer
 were open to the public in the past as we'll as at present is demonstrated by the following advertisement taken from the issue of March IA, 1842:
 Ramblings:-Taking a walk along the Housatonic railroad the other day, I was struck with the appearance of the sign of an old acquaintance. In the hurry of a moment I popped in and saw the occupant, conversed with him about business, Sc. He, seeming busy, I went to the next loft to do some l business with one of his jours, MT. F., and on being there but a. moment, MT. B. comes and asks if I knew they'd no admittance there. I told the gen. tle1nan I did not and would not in trude; I therefore took my exit. And
 now, if the honorable gentleman will I have the goodness to favor us with a call, at the low wharf, Water street. and also show him that we can man
 ufacture blinds cheaper and better, and pay our jours, than he can and not
 pay them. M.'
 In the same paper the following ad- vertisement appears:
 "CautiOn-Having arrived past the
 age of man, yet considering myself able to manage my own affairs, and propriety and decorum; I therefore forbid all persons from trusting, aid- ing or assisting any one on my ac- count, for I shall pay no debts or con- fractions after the date hereof, my
 fast friends and nearest connections not excepted. Augur Tomlinson.
 Huntington, March 5, 1842.'' A communication dated March 12
 1S43, just 66 years ago today, would
 hardly be applicable today: It reads:
 "Messrs. Editors-I noticed in last weeks Standard a. contemptfble fling at Dr. Simons for dropping in at an
 Irish Ball. In truth, the doctor did from any such motive as is insinuated. That would be unnecessary, for the Irish are all Democrats, as the editor of that paper we'll knows, and there fore require no shaking a, leg at one of their balls to induce them to vote the Democratic ticket. The room in which the ball was held belongs to the doctor. and his object in dropping in' simply to caution us about the fire and lights. The Standards black guard of the doctor for this circum- stance has set the wrong ball in mo- ton. The Irish will have another jig on the first Monday of April next: grand Democratic ball. at which all the sons of the Emerald Isle will be pres ent. and go it good and strong for the doctor. An Lrfshman.'
 In the issue of March 12, 1844, the following appears:
 Thomas B. OsboTne-This gentleman is the Whig candidate for Senator of this district. He was a. member of Congress- and voted for every one Of the obnoxious measures of that body. Why he has been selected in preference to other more consistent and more worthy members of the Whig party has not been explained

WASHINGTON, April "a. In
discussing the international diff
culties experienced in connection
with the japanese troubles in Cali
fornia, former Justice Brown of the
United States Supreme Court, de,
clared at tonight's session of the in
ternational law society that II the
question of the right of the Japan
csc to attend the same schools as
Americans should ever reach the
Supreme Court the "reasonableness
of having two nationalities going to
school together would have to be
considered.
III 1t were question:" he said,
'as to whether there should be sep
arate schools for blondes and bru-
nettes, for rich and poor, no doubt
of the reasonableness of the case
would exist, but the question of
having the different nationalities at
tend the same schools would not be
SO simple of solution.
IF we do not desire aliens let us
keep them out, and the time may
come when more drastic laws than
now exist will have to be made II
we desire to remain an Anglo Saxon
nation, but as long as we admit for
eigners OF an entirely different type
We should see that all are treated
justly"

which debarred him from watching
