Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, May %, 191O.-
The past week was unseasonably cold
with little or no rain until Saturday
when light to moderate showers
occurred over the larger part of the
state. The daily mean temperature
was about Z degrees below the normal,
and light frost occurred in many locali-
ties on two or three mornings, but the
damage was inconsiderable except that
the low temperature prevents the
termination and growth of corn. Re-
planting is general and some fields
have been planted three times. Good
seed corn is exhausted and the pros
poets for an average stand are very un-
favorable. In addition to the damag-
ing effects of the low temperature, cut
and wire worms are becoming very
active, especially on sod ground. All
small grain, grass and potatoes have
made considerable improvement during
the last seven days, due to the copious
rains of the previous week and those
crops are generally in good condition
except that grass in meadows and pas
lures is short for the season of the
year and the hay crop will be much
lighter than for the past two or three
years. All fruit crops will be light.

SKINNER School sud Institute.

Despite the fact that we have abou,
twenty teachers in the county from
other places we are still short OF
teachers, two schools being without
teachers for the spring term. After
visiting many of the schools we find
that several of the teachers will not
teach next year and that we are apt tc
be short again. We are anxious to
help the matter out If possible, and
have decided to hold an eight day sum.

tinue up to the examinations. Make
this entirely review and help those de-
string to pass the examinations. also
those holding third grade or provision
ais for the first time.
The periods to be forty-fve minutes
long, and give the staients the privi-
lege of asking for any certain thing to
be explained that they feel the need
of. This to help get your certificate.
Not only will the common branches be
taught, but also the first grade
branches. We hope that number will
take advantage of this work and try
to get certificate or to raise the one
you have.
As you know the first grade and sec
ond grade teachers have no examina-
tions to take this year. They want
what all teachers need, more training
along the work they have to teach.
Several have asked that institute be
held in August SO that they will not be
all tired out when coming to insti tute.
Also in many cases when institute is
held in June by the time school starts
in September all enthusiasm is gone
and note books lost. About one-third
Of the counties in. Iowa held institute
last year in August aud pronounced it
a Isuccess. Institute for all teachers
will be held for one week beginning
Aug. 18th.
For summer school the following in

Modern woodmes Meeting.

The series of meetings conducted this
year by the local Modern Woodmer
lodge has been so successful that an
other one will be held this Saturday
June 4t1.
Originally it was planned that the
last of the series would be held in May,
but in view of the success of the meet
ings held heretofore the matter was
submittee to decision of the audience,
and the audience decided that another
public meeting with a program is de-
sirable.
The program for Saturday is as fol:
lows:
Violin duet by Mr.. John Kakac and
Miss Helen Kakac with piano accom-
paniment by Miss lone Kakac.
Song by male quartet.
Solo by Mrs. E. H. Allen.
The Age We Live In-an address by
Charles Pergler.
Song by Male Quartet.
Solo by Mrs. E. H. Allen.
Violin Duet by Mr.. John Kakac and
Miss Helen Kakac with piano accom-
paniment by Miss lone Kakac.
During the warm season, in July and
August, there will be no public meet
ings of this nature and large attend
ance is therefore expected.
The program will commence at $50
sharp. The public meeting is preceded
by closed meeting that will commence
at 7:45 sharp and the members should
be present at this time.
The impression seems to prevail that
part part of the meeting consisting of
the program is accessible only to Modern
Woodmen and Royal Neighbors. This
is not SO. The meeting, as far as the |
program is concerned, is public and in
tended for the public. Everybody is
welcome.
