I. VA mays and county attorneys
have allowed fragrant violations Of the
Moon law by the city councils" de-
clared Mr. Hammond today. '"rhe in
depreciation Of the Moon law is that
there can be only one saloon to every
1000 inhabitants. Many Iowa cities,
among them being Davenport and
Oskaloosa, have violated the Moon
law. At Oskaloosa, the city council
issued permits for fifteen saloons
when the city is only entitled to nine.
In Davenport the condition was dis
graceful That city has 140 more So

DIES MONIES
TO PRAY FOR RAIN

Des Moines, July 6.-J. H. Telling
ham, secretary of the men and reli.
gion forward movement announced to.
day that practically every Protestant
church in Des Moines will hold
weather changing" prayer services
and the remainder of the week until
their prayers are answered.
The decision was reached by the
ministers that 1t was necessary to aD-
peal from this long drouth spell to the
supreme power and this will be carried
out.
1T is not so much the idea of the
ministers to attempt to change the
weather as 1t is to offer prayer that
the people for this state will be able to
Withstand the long threatening drouth
said Mr.. Fellingham. 1T is the belief
of the ministers that today, as of DID,
weather conditions can be met by ad.
justing ourselves with God. It Is to
gain this point that the services will
be held. This Is tho first time that
any civilized peoples have united in an
appeal to God for a change in weather
since the old bible DAYS"

A negro woman walking a desert
