1.-THE necessity for abolishing the
dornitory system can easily be found
out by visiting the school,"> says the
report of the jury. I'VE do not think
it proper that further comment be
made on this phase OF the matter.
The board recommends that each
girl in the institution be provided with
q separate sleeping room.
Considerable criticism is found in the
fact that the institution Is not provided
with proper protection against fire
and the system of locks used in lock-
ing the girls In their rooms at night
Is condemned.
The jury recommends the construc-
ton Of fire escapes on all Of the cot
tages. the providing Of better facilities
for fighting fire and change in the
system Of locks which will permit Of
all the doors in the institution being
unlocked with one key.
Regarding its inspection Of the Polk
county farm. the grand jury recon-
mends the construction Of two new
buildings. 1t is OF the opinion that
the pauper ward for men should be
replaced by a new building.
Words OF praise are spoken for the
manner in which Mrs. Lucy Sickles,
matron Of the Mitchellville school, who
succeeded Miss Hattie Garrison two
months ago, is running the institution
and the manner in which A. w. Mally,
custodian Of the poor farm, Is caring
for the county's wards

Des Moines, June 20.-The weekly

was about ali that could be desired
as to temperature. the average for the
state being slightly above normal. The
rainfall was, however, uncqually dis
tributed. but all except the extreme
northwestern and southeastern dis

many localities in the central ana
northeastern counties the amount or
rainfall was cOpious to heavy ana
ample for present needs. but over the
larger part of the state the rainfall was
light and in some places practically
none.
In many localities, and especially
over tho southern and northwestern
counties, oats, hay, pastures and po-
tatoes have already been damaged and
will continue to deteriorate If the
drouth continues. In other sections
where the showers were heavy and in
the northeastern counties where rains
have been frequent, all crops are IN
good condition.
Corn is still making rapld progress
except in the southeastern counties,
where the drouth has been the most
severe and of longer duration. Most
