TORCHY is with us once again, which of
course means you will settle back with the
confidence of complete enjOymcnt-and you'll
not be disappointed. The story OF "Torchy
and the Prod" seems TO be just pure hunor.
and vet it sets forth one of the most profound
and bitter truths that have developed in Amer
lean life. and apparently without any intent
1t drives home the fact that the American boys
who start in life with rich fathers are generally
handicapped beyond their capacity Most OF
them don't have any show at all to accomplish
anything which may sound absurd to you, but

What Constitutes a Subscriber

e.Ss~
A court decision has lately been rem
dered in Massachusetts on what consti-
tutes subscriber. The judge firmly
believe that the man who received the
paper, although he never subscribed
for it, is entitled to pay.
James Thompson moved, and Will
lam Robinson took immediate possession
and receivedsand accepted weekly
newspaper that was delivered to him
through the mails every week. The
good natured editor sent accounts fire.
quently, but no attention was paid to
them by Mr.. Robinson.
Finally there was day of reckoning.
Robinson had-received the paper for
some time, he informed the collector,
but he said that he never subscribed
and declined to pay for it. The judge
personally questioned the defendant,
who said that he had read and made
use of it and was receiving the ac-
counts, which were frequently inclosed
in the paper.
Judgement was rendered in favor of
the newspaper. The judge was severe
in his criticism of people who are re-
ceiving papers and do not think it
worth while to pay for what they re-
ceive and make use of. 1t is an act of
dishonesty, he SAID. One should ac-
quaint the publisher and pay for what
ever numbers he receives.

weather.crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. Z, 1910. =
Light to heavy showers occurred over
nearly all parts of the state on the
night of August I'd, but in some locali.
ties the rainfall was not heavy enough
to afford more than temporary relief
from drouthy conditions. The showers
were, however, timely and beneficial
and in a few sections where rains have
been frequent and heavy, the corn crop
is now assured. On the other hand,
the crop has deteriorated oyer the
northeastern counties and in many To-
calitles of small area in the central dis
tricts where the showers have been
few and the rainfall light. The bright
sunshiny days and moderate tempera-
lures have been favorable for thrash
ing and this work has progressed rapid
ly with very satisfactory results, both
as to yield and quality of grain. The
bulk Of the shock thrashing is COM
pleted and early reports indicate that
the average yield Of oats will be about
forty bushels per acre; wheat, twenty
five bushels; barley, thirty-two bushels;
and timothy seed, four bushels. Pas
lures, meadows and potatoes are suffer-
ing for moisture and rain is needed for
all growing crops and for fall blowing
in southern counties.
Following is summary of reports
from crop correspondents of the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service, showing
the estimated condition of staple crops
August l, 1910, as compared with the
average condition on that date in past
years. There has been q decided i'm
provement in the condition of corn
during the past month, over the larger
part of the state and especially over
the northwestern, southeastern and
many of the southern counties where
showers have been timely and rainfall
sufficient to keep the plants growing
rapidly. On the other hand, the condi-
tion has declined over the northeastern
and some of the southwestern counties,
due to deficiency of moisture. The
average condition of corn for the four
quarters of the state are as follows:
Northwest quarter, 81 per cent; north
east, so per cent; southeast, 96 per
cent, andssouthwest 80 per cent, which
makes an average for the state of 90.5
per cent. The average condition for
the western half of the state, which
has 81 per cent of the corn acreage, is
SO per cent as compared with Ss per
cent for the eastern half.
