Weather Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, Iowa.
For the week ending April
II, 1911:
The first half Of the week
was cloudy and stormy, with
copious rains attended by thun-
der, and tightening, and in
many localities by high and
damaging winds. The last
four days were generally clear
with cold nights; the minimum
temperature being below the
freezing point over the north
ern half of the state on Il e
mornings Of the 18th and 18th.
The cold, wet weather retarded
farm work, but the rain vas
very beneficial and has put the
top soil in excellent condition
for tilling. Considerable prog
ress was, however, made dur
ing the last three days of the
week in blowing and seeding.
Practically all of the sprirg
wheat and barley are in and
the bulk of the oats will be
seeded by the middle of the
coming week. Grass is begin
ming to start nicely since the
late rains, and winter wheat is
in good condition. Fruit buds
are generally dormant. Not
withstanding the fact that the
season is somewhat backward,
the general conditions are at
present very promising.

Easter Program at First M. E.
Church
Easter Day of 1911 is gone,
but its passing has left many
delightful memories. The peo-
pie of Missouri Valley demon
strated last evening their APP
probation of good music and a
we'll rendered program. The
capacity of the Me lodist
church was not adequate to
accommodate the large aud.
Iience which gathered to hear
the Easter program. The main
auditorium and the lecture
room were completely filled.
the entrances gave standing
room to those who could not
find seats and many were com.
PEELED to turn away. The large
congregation was not disap-
pointed, for the program was a
success from the prelude to the
last anthem.
Much credit is due to Mrs
Guy R Smith, under whose
leadership the service was sc

New Painters Wagon

Jerry Ward has just COM
pleted what is probably the
finest wagon in Harrison Coun-
ty if rot in the state Of Iowa
for j. L. Tubbs. The wagon is
ID #. long, double-decked and
canopy. The lower compart-
ments are for paint, old clothes
etc. These drawers are cover
ed with removable lids which
automatically lock and on top
of this is the place for la 'ad-
ders, scaffolds etc. Beneath
the wagon there are two So gal.
and two 10 gal. oil tanks for tur-
pentine, oil, benzine, etc. The
axles are Timken roller bear.
ing and the work throughout is
hand work. A Presto lite
tank has been provided to fur
nish gas for a search light and
tail light. Mr., Tubbs expects
to use the wagon for country
work exclusively and has
equipped it so completely in or
der that he can go from place
to place without the trouble of
coming back to town for sup
plies. The wagon is a credit to
Mr.. Ward as we'll as Mr.. Tubbs.
Rev. Stanley Curtis left for
Evanston, ILL.,, today.
Miss Hulda Blatta, of Omaha,

Arbor Day.
Arbor Day comes on Friday,
April 28sh this year, and every
citizen should make arrange
ments to plant at least one tree.
This beautiful custom was in
troduce1 by Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, IF Nebraska, in 1872,
since which time it has sogrown
in favor that all the States, and
many fo,ei n countries have
adopted he custom.
Being a nation of 10000, 600,
if only one in four of our people
would plant a tree, that would
increase the gross numberof the
trees about 100000, which is
q subject worth thinking about.

DandeIion Day.

At this time when we are
having so many distinguished
days, even it is said, every
Dog has his Day." But in the
multiplicity of special days, we
must not forget that with us,
"the fifth day of May is Dande-
lion Day." That was a great
day in Missouri Valley. The
Ladies Improvement League,
concluded to have "a cleaning
up of the city, and for a begin
ing, made war on the Dandelino
which had became a nuisance
in the city, and a day was fixed
when they were to receive the
enemy, at a given price per lb. !,
end by IL M. that day the dan
de|ions began to arrive, in sacks
and baskets, by old and young,
without regard as to where
dug, and it soon became evident
that if the supply held out the
League would become bankrupt
and if the citizens had not come
to their assistar ce, ruin would
have been the result. The Day
created more excitement in the
city than a Circus, and made
the 5th day of May memorable
in Missouri Valley for all time.

CAPITALIST ENDS LIFE.

St. Louis. Jan. 4.-Henry G. Scott
fifty-two years old. capitalist former
president of the La CO. Power Com
at 1880 o'clock this morning in his home.
81 Vandevanter place. He was president
of the National Light and Improvement
Company and director of the Merchants
La Clede National Bank.
He had been suffering from mental de-
preston and insomnia for some months,
and was just recovering from an acute
attack of appendicitis and grippe. Scott s
fortune is estimated by friends as in the
neishborhood of 100000 He acquired
most of it in the sale of the La Ciede
Power Company to the North American
interests several years ago.
The SCOTS belong to St. Louis most
exclusive society. Mrs. Scott was before
her marriage Miss Bertha w. Drake
Mr. Scott was born in fredericksburg
Va.
Scott shot himself with revolver which
ne used when he was captain of the
Posse Comitatus during the last great
street railroad strike here some years
ago.
Scott was unable to sleep at all Friday
night. He appeared for breakfast about
$50. While at the table he told his wife
his depression was so great he thought
he had lost control of himself. Mrs.
Scott finally persuaded him to go to his
room and rest. They intended to go down
town later, and Mrs. Scott telephoned for
the chauffeur, who had to break in
Scotts door with an ak after Scott shot
himself.

CASIMIR-PBRIBR
MUST FACE COURT
Son of Late President of
France Again in Trouble.

Paris. Jan. 14.-It was announced that
son of the late President of France. aris-
ing from his hypothecating a pearl neck
lace. would be arraigned to-day, but the
negotiations failed as Janesisch. the
original seller of the necklace. insists
that the affair be settled in the courts.
Janesisch says the necklace. which con-
tainS fifty-Seven pearls. weighing 759
grammes. cost him originally S1,32J francs.
He sold it to an American. who eX-
changed it last spring for more valuable
necklace. JanesSch added three pearls
costing 32945 francs. Hence. taking into
account the recent % per cent rise in
pearls, he considered that 10000 francs
was much below the market value of the
necklace.
Claude CaSimir-Perier says that when
Issaverdenes advanced him 60.OOO francs
on the necklace. although he signed a
sale contract. stipulating that unless the
sum was repaid by November 15, the sale
would be complete. he considered the con-
tract was merely a formula covering the
advance on the necklace. 1t may be ex-
planned that pawnbroking in France is a
government monopoly: between individ-
uals it is illegal. Issaverdenes sold the
necklace to Du Train on November Is for
g.. 800 francs. The latter is willing to sur
render il If he is repaid.
The name of Claude Casimir-Perier has
been seen frequently in the newspapers
this week.
A carpenter sued him for 4.OOO francs
for work for which Casimir-P -Perier paid
checks which were dishonored. 1t is
announced that he has sold seven eight
eenth century tapestries from the pa
ternal chateau at Font-sur-Seine for
] 600 600 francs cash. The family is very
wealthy and owns valuable mines.

Eat What You Will,
Food Makes Not Fat

1t is a mistaken theory that food makes
fat. 1t is not the food You eat But the
way it is digested1 that makes fat. Your
system produces digestive juices, that
turn good food into poor flesh and fat
Stop these juices from being made by
your body and you stop making fat.
The famous Marmola prescription. which
has created so much comment in our
cities, has been prepared in tablet form
for the convenience of those who do not
desire to take the liquid prescription.
These little tablets, when they reach the
stomach, step the juices from working
the wrong way. They renew those fluids
