Visited Des Moines on Motorcycle.

Earl Riley and brother Charles, of
Decatur City, enjoyed spin on their
new tandem motorcycle to Des
Moines on Tuesday of last week, via
the Interstate, Red Star and Blue
Line auto trails, making the trip
from Decatur City to Des Moines in
two hours and fifty-five minutes, and
beating the time of the passenger
train some thirty minutes. They
went via Van Vert, Osceola, St. Croix
and St. Mary's. On the Red Star
trail they passed over fifteen miles of
the worst hill country in southern
Iowa. The roads were good and the
only difficulty they experienced was
jumping on and off at bad bridges
and counting chickens which would
sail off into the high weeds, one, two,
three with a great squawk. The boys
remained in Des Moines eight hours,
took in Buffalo Bills show, the State
Capitol, Highland Park College and
the city in general. On the return
trip they left Des Moines at p. M,
and reached Decatur City at 8 p. M,
riding the last 80 miles after dark,
which accounts for the slow time.
They say the finest roads they struck
on any of the trails was the Inter-
State from Des Moines to Indianola.
They used just three gallons of gaso-
line in making the round trip of over
$50 miles. The time is here now
when person living in Decatur City
can eat their breakfast at home, beat
any train to Des Moines, have several
hours in the city to attend to bust
ness, take nap up there and be back
to Decatur City in time for supper.
The Riley boys are contemplating a
trip to Canada on their motorcycle
this fall if the roads continue in good
condition.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending August 10,
1911. Des Moines, Iowa.
Both the temperature and rainfall
were above normal during the past
week; the average daily excess of
temperature being about degrees,
and the rainfall ranged from nothing
in some of the southwestern counties
to 5.54 inches in Dubuque county,
the average for the state being about
1.50 inches. Showers occurred on
one or more days in nearly all Sec
tons, and were heavy over the CEN
trail and northern districts, and eX-
cessive and damaging in some of the
northeastern counties, where they
were, in many localities, accompan-
led by wind squalls, thunder and
lightning and heavy hail. The tenn
perature exceeded 100 degrees at
many stations in the southern Sec
ton on the 10th. The drought has
been effectually broken over three
fourths of the state and the general
conditions have been decidedly more
favorable for all unharvested crops,
pasturage and aftermath in mead
ows. The rains will check further
deterioration Of vegetation and will
be of material benefit in developing
the late corn, except in some local-
ties in the southwestern counties
where the drouth still continues. The
rains, however, came too late to be
of much benefit to early corn which
is, in many sections past recovery
and will, at the best, make light
crop. Late potatoes show consider
able improvement and pastures are
becoming green again. The bulk OF
shock threshing has been completed
except in eastern and northeastern
counties where the work was sus-
pended on account of wet weather.
Much blowing was done during the
week and the indica lions are now
favorable for large increase in the
acreage of winter wheat.
