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

Des Moines, Week Ending July 81.
The average temperature for the past
seven days was very near the nor.
NAL, but the rainfall was decidedly
below the average for the last week
In July, although showers occurred
on the 25th and 18th in all but the
northern part of the state. At many
stations in the Des Moines, Iowa and
Skunk valleys the amount of rainfall
exceeded an inch; the largest being
3.97 inches at Keosauqua. Corn on
low ground and deep soil, and where
the showers were heavy, still holds
it's own and has made satisfactory
progress, but over the northeastern
counties where there has been little
or no rain and in many other local..
ties where the soil is thin and the
rainfall has been light, there are in
the crop, however, is in excellent con.
dition and can stand another week of
dry weather, but the other fourth
needs rain at once. Conditions have
been favorable for haying, harvesting
and thrashing. Preliminary reports
from thrashers indicate that the
quality of small grain is excellent and
the yield will be considerably above
the average of past years. Except
where the rainfall has been the heav-
lest, pastures are practically bare and
afford but little feed for cattle. Stock
water is getting scarce in many To-
calities. A heavy and general rain is
needed badly in all parts of the state.

Whatever may be the final adjust

of their own initiative improve the

spring brings US 10 a quadrennial APP

great boost toward reform. "-Rut-

Ii may be a mistaken impression
but it seems to The News that the
esteemed Rutland neighbOr is getting
on to 4 more practical basis on the
taxation question The News has
long advocated the enforcement Of
the present tax laws, after which it
will be possible to decide upon
necessary changes in the law to
make it more just and practical.
The News is also more thoroughly
convinced than when it advocated
the idea a year ago, that it is the
duty of the Encouragement, through
his several states attorneys, to see
| that the tax law is enforced. AL
though this official took no action
last year, in Washington county
States Attorney Gates asked the list
ers of the several towns to meet him
and the response being quite genera
he gave them a plain version of theil
duties. This meeting was of undoubt

this matter of enforcing the tax law
in earnest this year If the listers

THE KIDNEYS ACT FINE
Headache and Bladder Misery Go Az
ter Taking a Few Doses

If you take several doses of Pape's
Diuretic all backache and distress
from out of order kidneys or bladder
trouble will vanish, and you will feel
fine.
Lame back. painful stitches, rheu-
matism, nervous headache, dizziness,
irritability, sleeplessness, inlamed
or swollen eyelids, worn out sick feel
ing and other symptoms of sluggish,
inactive kidneys disappear
Uncomfortable, smarting frequent
urination especially at night and all
bladder misery ends.
Feeling miserable and worried is
needless, because this unusual prepa-
ration goes at once to the disordered
kidneys, bladder and urinary system,
and distributes its healing, cleansing
and yitalizing influence directly upon
the organs and glands affected, and
completes the cure before You realize
it.
The moment you suspect any kid
ney or urinary disorder or feel rheu-
matism pains, begin taking this harm
less medicine with the knowledge
that there is no other remedy at any
price made anywhere else in the
world, which will effect so thorough
and prompt a cure as fifty cent
treatment Of Pape's Diuretic, which
any druggist can supply.
Your physician, pharmacist bank

you that Pape. Thompson & Pape OF
Cincinnati is a large and responsible
medicine concern thoroughly worthy
of your confidence.
Only curative results can come
from taking Papes Diuretic, and a

Teach Children to Be Fearless.

Don't run to baby and pick him up
the minute he falls. The child whose
mother runs to him and means over
him the minute he falls is much-to-
be-pitied little man. Her terrified
face and cry Of Are you hurt. darling?
Tell mamma where. Poor little pet!"
etc, will make him cry at once,
whether he is hurt or not
Very soon he will imagine that the
slightest untoward event hurts him,
and will grow peevish and fretful
A child who is not fused by a
nervous and adoring mother is very
different. He may have many falls
he probably will. But very soon, with

unless things are really rather bad, to
