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

For the week ending July 1G, 1911
Des Moines, IOwa-With cooler
weather and light to copious showers
in nearly all parts of the state on one
or more days. corn is still holding its
own. Scattered showers occurred on
the 9Th, 10th, 18th and 14th, but the
amounts Of rainfall were generally
two small to be of material or lasting
benefit, and not sufficient to enable
the crop to Withstand the effects OF
another hot wave without serious i'll
jury. Reports indicate that early corn
in the tasseling and caring stage has
already suffered considerable damage
especially in southern and central dis
tTiCts, and the crop as a whole is at
very critical stage. GrasshOppers
are numerous and are injuring uncut
grain, corn and clover in many local
tiles. The bulk of the small grain
harvest has been completed in the
southern and central sections, and
will be practically finished in the
northern counties during the coming
week. Shock thrashing has begun
Pastures, gardens and potatoes con
tinue to deteriorate. Early potatoes
are a failure and the late varieties
are drying up.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM
Auto Owners May Buy Higher
Priced One if They Care To.

Higher price automobile license
plates may be purchased by the state
and sold at advanced prices to auto
owners if the present number plates
are not satisfactory, according to Sec.
rotary Of State Hayward. The state,
ment was made in view. of numerous
complaints that have been made by
auto owners in the neighbOring dis.
trict that the pale blue plates look
cheap and do much to mar the beauty
of an otherwise good looking car.
Nothing is said in the Iowa law, &C,
cording to Secretary Hayward, about
the price of the license plates. Good
serviceable plates were secured at a
reasonably low price. The plates
that now are being distributed, how,
ever, are not exactly like the sam.
pies. Whereas, the regular plates
are pale blue background, the sam.
pies were a much darker hue.
The Iowa number plates are fully
as good looking as the official plates
of Illinois and other states, according
to the secretary Of state.

Lexington Aground.

Sayannahs Ga, Aug. 30-Hard
aground on Hunting Island, opposite
the mouth of the Edisto river, the
steamship Lexington, of the Mer-
chants and Miners Line, yesterday af-
ternoon at o'clock delivered her pas
sengers to the revenue cutter Yama-
craw, and is believed to be in a dan
gerous situation.
The vessel is, however, in an easy
position and tugs are standing by to
render whatever assistance is possi-
ble The Lexington's wireless appa-
ratus was not believed to be working,
and after the Yamacraw took the pas
sengers and left, nothing has been
heard from the ship.
The Yamacraw reported that the
Lexington was in such shallow water
that the cutter could not get close to
her, but had to take the passengers
off in boats. This would indicate that
the Lexington is very hard aground.
Sea is Not Rough.
1t is stated, however, that she is
not heavily loaded, and this may as
sist in the work of getting her off. The
sea was not rough and the ship was
in an easy position, so that no imme-
diate danger to it is anticipated, un-
less there is a considerable change in
the weather.
The point where the Lexington is
aground is near the location of the
wreck OF the City of Savannah, which
went ashore there eighteen years ago.
The first information Of the Lexing-
toms trouble was contained in wire
less message repeated here from the
Mohawk, which is in port at Charles
ton. The Lexington Is about fifty
miles from Savannah and a little
closer to Charleston.

MURDERER MUST
HANG ON FRIDAY
WHITE MAN IN WORTH COUNTY
MUST PAY PENALTY FOR
HIS CRIME.

Atlanta, Aug. 30-William Rouse,
convicted of the murder of William
Bailey in Worth county, and alleged
to be the slayer of twelve other human
beings, will pay the penalty of the
Bailey murder next Friday. Governor
Smith yesterday refused to intervene
and to the scafold Rouse will so. The
hanging will take place in the Worth
county jail.
Following the conviction of Rouse
for his crime, the case went to the
supreme court. The court granted
him rev trial on legal technicali-
ties. He was tried a second time and
again convicted Of murder without
recommendation of mercy He appeal
ed again to the higher court and his
appeal was turned down He then ap-
pealed with able lawyers to the prison
commission for a Communication of
sentence and the case afterwards went
to the governor.
1t has been charged that Rouse is
the bloodiest and most dangerous des-
perado produced in Georgia during
this generation. Rouse and Bailey,
whom he killed, not to mention twelve
or thirteen other person by his own
| admission; were both Worth county
| farmers.
On a certain night, according to the
| prosecution, the two men quarreled at
| Rouse's home. Bailey they contended
was unarmed. Here is what they
| charged against Rouse; That he shot
| Bailey full of holes, some of the shots
entering his back; that he then took
knife and cut the fallen mans throat
severing the windpipe and jugular
Vein; that he then got another pis-
tol and closed the still warm fingers
OF the dead man around it's butt-but
that he forgot to note that the dead
mans right arm had been shattered by
bullet; that he sat above the bloody
corpse with a whisky bottle, and
roared out into the night a song, par5-
ly of his own composition, the re-
frain of which was: "Bill Bailey won't
come home"

BRUNSWICK MAY
DECIDE TO HAVE
BIG WHITE WAY
MATTER WAS TAKEN UP YEsTER-
DAY WITH THE LOCAL
MERCHANTS.
Representative of General Electric
Company Here and Says White Way
Could Sc Mantainea at Small Cost
to merchants.
to merchants,

c. A. Housman, representing the
General Electric &C -npany, is in Bruins
wick Tor few days, and, as a result
of his visit, it may mean that Bruns-
WICK will have 81 eat white way,
which is becoming so popular in many
cities of the South.
e.
Mr.. HoUsman is not representing
any white way company, but is sim
ply interested in the great improve
ment that is being made in many Cit
les and he thinks Brunswick. should
get in line and have white way. He,
of T course, represents a company
Which furnishes the lights for the
white wa, or which has furnished
smost of those installed in many cit
les.
He has just been in Waycross,
where the city has decided to make
the great improvement and within
another month this south Georgia city
Will have one of the best-lighted cities
in the country.
"The cost of a white way is very
small, said Mr.. Housman in CONVEX
sation with a News reporter yester-
day. 1t costs the merchants very lit
tie to erect their lights and main
tain them, and, as the light and water
! company will make a very cheap rate
flor the electricity, the lights can be
*maintained at an astonishingly small
price. No merchant would have to
pay more than $50 or $35 per year for
the lights. l think Brunswick should
install the service at once. Just think
what an appearance it would give
your city to have Newcastle street
lighted as bright as day every night
in the year!"
Mr. Housman will confer today
with officers of the Mutaul Light and
Water company. Yesterday he dis
cussed the matter with a number of
merchants and all of them took favor
ably to the plan.
This is a matter which should be
looked into, as there is nothing which
!. will do more to bring the people out
at night than a well-hghted town. 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Housman will
receive announcement in his plan
and that the light and water COM
pany and business people generally
will cooperate and secure a white way
for Brunswick.
