THE IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Direct
or of Weather Bureau.

For the week ending May Is, 1919.
Des Moines, Iowa.-The past week
was unseasonably cool, and except i'm
the extreme southeastern county is
was abnormally dry prior to the 18th.
Frost occurred generally on the 18th,
18th and 14th with freezing tempera-
ture on the last date In northern dis
tricts. There was, however, more
than the average amount OF sunshine
and rapid progress was made in corn
planting Fully 70 per cent OF the
corn has been planted with the ground
generally In excellent physical condi-
ton, but owing to the cold weather
the seed is terminating very slowly,
and considerable replanting will be
done especially in southern districts
where the ground is damp from the
heavy rains of the previous week.
Small grain and grass, while making
slow growth, are doing as well as
could be expected under the unfavor-
able conditions and some improve
ment is reported. Early potatoes
which we're frozen in April are com
ing up again and are looking well.
The prospects for fruit are very poor.
The week closes with rain falling In
all parts of the state.

BRICK PLANT STRIKE

The employees of the Oskaloosa Paw.
ing Brick Works went out on strike
this morning upon the refusal of the
management to recognize a new I'M
ion recently organized among the
workers, and failure to announce adj
vance in wages asked.
Representatives of the employees
stated that local union of the Inter
national Brick, Tile, and Terre Gotta
Workers Alliance was organized in
Oskaloosa May and that slight in
crease in wages was asked and the
adoption of wage scale. The men
have asked for an increase in wages
from $1.75 to $500 per day, but have
not asked shorter hours. The two
dollars, say the men, is for full ten
hours work.
The matter was presented to the
manager of the company, Mr.. w. P.
Hawkins, last Thursday and upon fail
tire to grant the desired increase the
men went out this morning. The
committee believes that the matter
will be adjusted within a short time
and work resumed. About forty-fve

Aud this history, which deals with
America and Americans and our re-
lations with them In the tone OF en-
thusiastic admiration. written by u
Christian convert In Japan, by the
bye, Is read more widely perhaps
than any other history OF the coun-
try. Americans don't know this: 1t
is high time for them to know IT,
Who then among us are going to
fight the Americans?
Well, there are few lingo news
papers of the yellowest complexion
which have been talking n good deal
of late. Therefore, II the Americans
make war on us willy-nilly, all thar
we shall do, and indeed can do. Is
to ask these yellow papers to take
the firing-line. Most of us are con-
fident that America can beat the
airy and wordy phalanXes of the
yellow sheets with ease and drive
them beyond the bourn from whence
no traveller returns. We shall most
piously pray tat they'won't return.
And we shall, certainly thank our
American friends for the good work.

The Japanese are not all idiots
Heaven knows we have our share OF

And then Japan is not an eXag-
gerated insane asylum.
Don't you think that we are old
enough, that we have common, Or
binary, everyday horse sense enough
to see that we can not whip the
United States? Some people may
like to go into a fight for the pure
and unadulterated luxury of being
beaten to death; we don't. Neither
do We wish to be still bigger luna

miles to get into a fight, when in

Theodore Roosevelt would have
been false to every principle OF
right-minded Americanism had he
done otherwise than refuse to call
on the Pope or anyone else who
made the call conditional on his re-
framing from extending every pos
slble courtesy to the representatives,
of anotherh religious denomination.
In many respects the incident Is re-
grettable, but a great amount OF
good may come from It through the
education of wider circle OF Euro
