Des Moines, Iowa, Sept Is, 19lO.-
The first three days of the week were
clear and very warm, but the last four
were cloudy and cool with generally
heavy rain on the 22d and 23d Corn
made rapid progress toward maturity
during the early part of the week and
about IS to 80 per cent of the crop is
now safe from an ordinary frost. Much
of the remainder will require ten days
to two weeks to be safe from damage
from heavy frost and would be serious
ly injured by freezing temperature
within that time. Rapid progress was
made during the early part of the week
in cutting corn and filling silos. The
late rains have put the ground in fine
condition for fall plowing and that
work, together with seeding fall grain,
is progressing rapidly. with large in
crease in the acreage of wheat. The
early sown winter wheat is up and is
growing nicely. Considerable hay was
put up, especially on the Missouri river
Late potatoes con tinue to
improve where the vines were not
killed by the drouth, but the crop will
)e light. Pastures are in excellent
for fall and winter feed.

FINDS IN CACTUS
SUPPLY OF RUBBER
New York Man Said to Have Discov-
cred That One Species Yields

the botanical garden OF the Univer-

sentative of New York cactus
grower had visited him recently and
had obtained specimen of cactus
from which he declared rubber could
be made.
The species OF cactus has never
been suspected of containing rubber.

covered that rubber can be extract.
ed from It in paying quantities. The
truth of the claim, DR.. Macfarlane
explained. has been substantiated
through extensive experiments.
The cactus thrives in California.
but there are several large specimens
of the species in eastern greenhouses

pose of the New York men is to gath
err these larger cacti and take them
to the western State for cultlv ttion.

The LIMIT REACHED.


Automobile speeding and the de-
struction of life and property It has
spread in its way through this city
are very proper matters for serious
consideration by the Grand Jury and
every other organization, official and
u. official, that exists for the protec-
titn of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.
Conditions in this city as develop
ed by the incidents of the past few
weeks are outrageous, In 80 far as
they have to do with the safety OF
the people who make use of the pub
lie streets.
Fatalities of comparatively recent
date are merely the inevitable re-
suit of the automobile speeding habit
that has produced long list of mar
row escapes to pedestrians and
those using the public streets for We
hicles driven at a moderate pace.
Ordinarily the feeling Is that II
the driver of an automobile wants
to risk his life he is entitled to do
so by going as fast as he pleases.
But there is limit, and that limit
has been reached
Apparently privilege and liberty
have been interpreted as license.
One result is that two men within
very recent period have been kill
ed, and others are in the hospital
recovering from their injuries.
The community Is almost ready
to use shotgun law. II something is
not done by the authorities. 1t is
quite probable that some careless
driver will be shot or mauled to
death, and then the delicate ques-
ton will arise whether delayed reg
ulation or the man who takes the
; law into his own hands is more at
fault.
With the latest case put before
the Grand Jury--as will presumably
be done out of consideration for pub
lie opinion, though the magistrate
should not hold Cluney-the conclu-
sions of that body will be drawn in
accordance with the facts. There
should be no exceptionally severe
punishment visited upon this par
ticular man because public sentiment
is aroused to the breaking pitch and
the people seek someone on whom
to wreak their vengeance. This man
should have absolute justice melted
out to him. To this every man IL
entitled, including auto speeders,
under suspension of sentence or out
on bail.
Irrespective of the result of ordi'
nary court procedure, the mere fact
that"the prosecuting department OF
the city and county is bringing these
matters, in all their detail, before
the inquisitorial body, will have 4
very good effect on automobile driv-
ers. whether they belong to the first
families or give Kakaako as their
place of abode.

make cost to the city of $l1, 1886, and
adding the cost OF plant as previous
ly mentioned, brings the total to s15,.

Under the Warren contract the city
is up against an expenditure of ST..

using exactly the same material, we
save $243O and own the plant in the
bargain.
Why should we pay s3.20 per square
