Mason City, July IA discussion OF
the three questions, roads, bridges and
drainage. is to occupy the attention OF
the boards Of supervisors which are to

little on the line Of theoretical as posi-
BILE and decidedly practical. While eX-
perts are all right in their places IT Is
believed that the best results will come
from those who have to do and dc
handle these questions. 1t is therefore

pared to talk practically Of their &C
complishments. Roads will have the
right of way on Wednesday. bridges on
Thursday and drainage on Friday. TWO
hundred and fifty supervisors are ex-
pected here.
The treasurers will met in the as
sembly room of the court house. The
chairman Of the program committee is
a resident OF Clarion and expects to be

soon, Auditors will meet in the grand
jury room while the superintendent OF
poor farms will have possession OF the

Enormou. YieId Of Wheat.

Shenandoah, July 13.-The wheat
yield in this part Of the state is un-
usually heavy this year. 1t is thought
by many that the wheat harvest will be
the best in many years in this section
The wheat is being delivered to the
Shenandoah Milling Company's ware
house at the rate Of more than fifty
loads a day. In an interview in the
World today ]. w. Trullinger, manager
Of the mill said:
1.-The yield this year Is the greatest
the quality the highest, the acreage
the biggest I have ever known 1t to
be, and the prices are good. The farm
ers are beginning to realize that fall
wheat is the surest and best paying
crop they can raise. Corn may fail
but fall wheat never. The gain in wheat
acreage this year proves that my the
DRY is gaining ground. Before farmers
have always sowed their poor ground
to wheat, and got good yields Some
of them this year have put their good
corn land into wheat, and it has paid
them big.

Fraser Farmers Son.
Special to Times Republican.
Boone, July IA peculiar accident
is reported from Fraser in which the
miraculous escape of the 4-year- OLD
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Ball is
told. The mother Of the little fellow
sent him to the oat field to call Mr..
Ball to supper. She told him to hurry
back home. The lad told his father
and the father told him to go on home
and that he would return in few
minutes, he desiring to finish the work
at hand. Instead OF going home the
lad laid down among the oats and fell
asleep. Mr.. Ball did not know OF the
lads presence until he had driven the
machine on him and heard his cries. ,
The boy. 1t would seem, would have
been cut to pieces, but he lost only the
thumb on one hand and the small toe
on one OF his feet. He was slightly
bruised and badly frightened. When
the father heard the lad cry he stopped
the horses and backed the machine.
The lad was picked up and hurried to
the house and a doctor called.

Company and the Burlington railroad
would never permit q settlement OF n
long standing controversy as to who
should pay the taxes on certain tele-
graph lines in southern Iowa, especial
ly along the old Humeston and Shen-
andoah line The railroad company
claimed that the lines were included in
the value OF the railroad and tho state
insisted upon the telegraph company
paying taxes thereon because used by
that company. The matter was In
court at one time and 1T was supposed
a settlement was effected. but when the
assessment came up again this year
the representatives OF the two COM
panies had different story each to tell
as to what the settlement was.

Worry Dry About Prescott.

Prescott. July 13.-Within the pasl
three weeks evrything has become
very dry. The gardens are as good as
dead. early potatoes are greatly in
jured; the small grain mostly harvest
ed and much better than expected; hay
very light but all taken care Of in good
shape, but whether the corn is going
to stand the lack Of rain much longer is
the all important question. One thing
in it's favor S that it is at a standstill
in growth can stand the heat bet
ter than if it was farther advanced,
and the people have never done so
much sky gazing as during the past
week. Every cloud Is watched with
interest.
On the 18th Of June we had our last
rain-that is within a distance Of
about three miles of town. Outside of
that scope they have had showers over
the county, but with the heat register
ing from SO to LOG.
Adams county is breaking all records
for heat. one hot day after another
without rain is trying the courage Of
the people. altho in some parts Of the
country they have had showers.
Crops nj Crawford Fine.
Denison, July 13.-Thanks to good
growing weather in the spring the
crops Of Crawford county are in prime
condition. Thousands of acres of corn
are now tasseling out, and has good
color. Winter wheat and rye will give
fine crop, spring wheat will go fifteen
and sixteen and oats twenty-five and
thirty bushels to the acre. The straw
is not long, but Of sufficient length to
handle with the harvester.
The rich river bottom lands. which
in wet years produced little are now
growing a record breaking crop of corn
for them. The pastures are pretty well
burned out, and the hay crop will be
light. Glover, however, did not winter
kill and gave strong vigorous crop.
There have been local showers so that
up to date this part Of Iowa is in far
from bad condition.
