Des Moines, April 1S.-The weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
Monday says:
The first half of the week was cloudy
and stormy, with copious rains attend
ed by thunder and lightning. and in
many localities by high and damaging
winds. The last four days were gen.
orally clear with cold nights: the min
imum temperature being below the
freezing point over the northern half Of
the state on the mornings of the 18th
and 18th. The cold, wet weather re-
tarded farm work. but the rain was
very beneficial and has put the top soil
in excellent condition for tflling.
Considerable progress was, however.
made during the last three days Of the
week In blowing and seeding. Prac-
itically all Of the spring wheat and bar
ley are in and the bulk of the oats will
be seeded by the middle Of the COM
ing week. Grass Is beginning to start
nicely since the late rains. and winter
wheat is IN good condition. Fruit buds
are generally dormant. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the season is some
what backward. the general conditions
are at present very promising.

himself, and the murder OF his land

shot few minutes before, on Easter

of his landlady to another home and
that this. together with his rheulra-

Operating Forces Decreased.
Special to Times Republican
Mason City, April 1S.-The secret OF
the very heavy steel rails which were
laid by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul on this division about a year ago,
is now explained by the increasing size
Of its freight trains and the mammoth
engines used in hauling them. Six
months ago they increased the size of
the average freight train TO forty cars.
This took fewer men and It took so
we'll as an economical measure that
now there is an order on this division
to increase the size OF the trains to
sixty cars. Railroad men are wonder
ing where it is TO end. They are of the
opinion that the road bed is not in any
100 good condition to stand such enor-
nous trains as it must now do.
While they realize that it is reducing
the number OF men in the service they
are Of the opinion that it gives added
danger co -ailroading and they do not
believe that in the long run that il
will be as economical as it now seems.

BY way OF WARNING.

Again we draw your attention to
a vital subject. ...
Present indications are thaI the
fire losses in the United States and
Canada for 1911 will exceed 500,
100000. The figures for the first
four months of the year show total
of $S7, $4,000, as compared with
$67,222,1OO during the sa.na period
last year.
The losses for 1910 were 1924, 4O6,-
$50, and if the present rat:o of in.
crease continues throughout; the
year, the 1911 losses may approach
$300,000,000. This will exceed
any year in the history of
the country except those OF the San
Francisco and Baltimore contlagra.
ton.
Government officials, under writer's
and firemen agree that the majority
of these fires are due to carlessnoss
and are easily preventable.
All of the recent fires, which have
attracted public attention because
of the heavy loss of life with which
they were accompanied, were. due to
the carelessness and Indifference of
the owners, occupants, or municipal
authorities. The country cannot go
on Indefinitely burning up hundreds
of millions each year, merely for lack
of proper individual and municipal
responsibility, New York has been
spending $10,O00,OOO year for fire
extinguishment and only $4,000 for
fire prevention.
The recent shirt waist factory fire
aroused the public and the authori-
ties, and fire prevention is to be made
much more prominent hereafter.
The most important consideration
is the development of sense of
personal responsibility on the part of
propert owners for the excessive
fire vast, which is draining the re-
sources of the country and weak
ening it's insurance capital
A score of fire insurance companies
have retired from the field already
this year, because of the heavy los
ses last year and the unfavorable
outlook, two of the number being
companies over hundred years old.
Don't you think it a good idea to
join in the movement to thwart the
fire demon?
