win Parker the Apple King" of north

storm fully G00 bushels of apples COW
cred the ground. Thousands Of bushels

Mr.. Parker says that there is no mar
ket for cider vinegar. A good many APP
plies still remain on the trees but these
are so badly pounded by the hail that
he does not think they will be mar
ketable. Mr. Parker has lived on this
farm for forty-seven years and this is
the worst storm he has experienced.

LAWSUIT OVER OLD WATCH.
Insertion Of handspring Results in
Legal Proceedings.

! Fort Madison, Aug. 4.-The main
spring of an old watch. originally pur-
chased some fifteen years ago by NJ.
Helm. of Franklin township. is the
| basis of dissension of legal case
| brought before Fred H. Ginning, justice
! OF the peace of that township. and
{ now carried to the first district court
OF Iowa on a writ of error
| The watch needed a new handspring.
! and its owner forthwith took it to one
; Frank Hadley. ieweler at West
Point. The watch was duly operated
upon. a new handspring inserted and
the timepiece returned to the owner
in the usual manner of business trans
actions, the matchmaker guaranteeing
it for a year.
And on the st" hinges the contro-
versy started. The defendant claims
ne stated the handspring would last a
year. and the plaintiff seems to have
tee that the watch would run year
1t didn't and hence the suit for SIS
dana ges in the justices court.
When the case came to a trial. the
defendant. by his attorney. moved for
a change of Venue. and after some dis
cussion the motion was filed. A tran
script ordering the case to the next
nearest justice court. was asked for
ard the usual fee rendered for the
same. when the justice asked for the
payment of the costs OF the case to
that time. which sum the defendant
declined to produce. whereupon the
Justice rendered judgment in favor OF
the plaintiff in the sum Of s1S.
Now the defendant has carried the
case TO the district court. and asks
for reversal of the decision and re-
handing of the case.

Monticello. Aug. Bumper corn
crops in this section Of eastern Iowa
are now a certainty. The crops are In
excellent condition despite the long dry
hot spell, and rains of recent date have
meant millions to the Iowa farmers OF
these parts. After weeks trip thru
the counties of Jackson, Clinton. Jones,
Cedar and Delaware. it is easily OBJ
served that the farmers are certain of a
bumper corn crop especially. There are
few complaints concerning the dry
weather but the recent rains have
changed the brown and parched
meadows into fields OF green. There
are threshing crews scattered every
where and the oats yield Is usually
running between forty and fifty BUSH
els. The barley yield Is not UP to last

the farmers report forty bushel yield

MUCH FRUIT ENRouTE
California Products Passing Thru Iowa
Sy TrainIoad

Fort Dodge Aug. 4.-If the fruit that
passes thru the city on its way 10 the
fruit starved people in the east is anv
indicati ton Of the fruit crop in Cali
fornia this year, it speaks very well for
the 1911 crop.
Last night two trainloads went thru
on their way from Fresno, Cal. In these
two trainloads there were altogether
about sixtyfve cars
An average of about a trafnIoad
every twelve hours is going thru the
city on the T. c. road alone these DAYS.
Last year altho a large amount of
fruit passed thru the city there is no
comparison between it and the great
amount that the railroads are handling
this year. The reason for this NAV be
that there ts an unusually large crop
but 1t is thought by railroad men that
Il indicates more general demand this
year.
This fruit consists chiefly at the pres
ent time OF peaches and pears. Orange
trains are thing Of the past and there
will be no more for some time to come.
