Weather Crop Bulletin

for the week ending Sept. 10, 1911.
The average temperature was very
nearly normal. it being slightly above
in the southern and below in the north
districts. The rainfall was deficient in
most of the western and northwestern
counties. but was heavy and excessive
in the southeastern counties. Many sta
tions in the southern portion of the Des
Moines river valley reported amount in
excess of three inches, while in coun-
ties adjacent thereto the amounts were
generally more than an inch. A mark
ed improvement has been noted in the
condition Of pastures and late potatoes,
and fall plowing and seeding has been
resumed and with the soil in fine tilth
except in the southwestern districts
where the rainfall was very light. AL
though the weather was mostly cloudy
corn has made rapid advance ment to-
ward maturity, and fully 10 per cent
of the crop would not be injured by a
moderately heavy frost. The work of
cutting and shocking corn, and filling
is progressing rapidly and more fodder
will be secured than ever t'efore in the
history Of the state. Many new silos
are being erected. Considerable dam
age was done to corn, fruit and build
ings by hail, high wind and lightning
during the heavy showers on the after
noon of the 6, in the southeastern coun-
ties. G. NJ. CHAPEL.

Public Library Well patronized.

That the Public Library is proving a
popular institution among Cresco peo-
pie is evidenced by the circulation it is
enjoying. In book compiled by the
Secretary of the Library Commission
of Iowa. can be proven the strength of
this statement. BY a comparison of
the various reports, the Cresco library
presents very much more creditable
showing than many other towns its
size and larger.
During the month of August the cir
culation was 1888 volumes, of which SIG
of these were fiction; "a books on biog-
raphy and-travel. the remainder being
almost entirely reference books.
There are now 1915 catalogued books
in the Library, and also. several not yet
catalogued which will bring the total
number Of volumes up to at least 3, 500.
New books are constantly being
added, the following having been pur-
chased since July 1st:
The Prodigal Judge.
Miss Gibbie Gault.
The Camera Fiend.
Mary Cary.
Rule the House.
Music and Other Poems.

A Lead Pencil Danger.

In the United States the danger Of
putting pencils in the mouth has long
been recognized, and in ali the schools
every precaution is taken to prevent
the interchange of pencils as well as
the moistening of them with the lips.

elders, who ought to know better, per-
sist in putting pencils in their mouth
regardless of the risk they run.

day in order to give Miss Reed 20
oloEy laboratory period.
The U. S. History class is still dwell
ing on early exploration and discovery

no doubt prove to be valuable ad-
dition to the school library.

Those Church Suppers!

Church sales, dinners, teas and the like are
not only means for promoting social enjoyment
and incidentally of replenishing the treasures
of the organizations which provide them Those
functions serve real and valuable economic
purpose, as is indicated by the lady whom Edna
X. Wooley quotes in the Toledo Blade This
lady. weary of the work of providing three meals
day for her family, consisting of herself. her
husband and her daughter, finds a new ioy in
living at this time of year, and explains why:
Last night we went to roast beef dinner. To-
night we are going to Methodist progressive
supper. My husband hates those progressive
suppers, because we start with soup at the
church, you know, then go to some house for the
meat course and finish up at some other house
Tor the dessert. He says when he sits down to a
meal he likes to finish the job on the spot, in.
stead of getting up every little while, putting OH
his hat and coat and galloping out into the cold
and cruel world to resume his eats at some other
stand. But think it's fun. It's blessed change.
Tomorrow night go to Presbyterian church
supper. That's only rs cents, too. and I don't
see how they do 1t for the money The next one
after that Is Episcopal turkey supper and the
next Is also turkey supper at the Unitarian
church. Then come the Disciple and Congreg.-
ton church suppers. and by that time you'll see
my cheeks sticking out with rich living What
would we poor home cooks 10 If it wasn't for the
church suppers? They give us a rest from the
eternal routine of planning and cooking the daily
meals Nobody that hasn't tried that three-mcal.
aday business knows what grind 1t gets to be.
l don't believe there's man on earth rN..gl9
stand for it.
