IOWA CORN CROP
HOLDING ITS OWN
SOUTHERN IOWA COUNTIES NEED
RAIN " YIELD is TO BE UP
TO STANDARD.

Des Molnes. July 12.--More rain is
needed to assure Iowa a bountiful
corn crop, according to the weekly
crop bulletin by Dr. George M. Chap
| pei OF the Iowa weather and crop
service. The rainfall for the past
! week, DR.. Chapel declares, was sui
! fic:ent for present needs, but it was
too light to give material benefit.
Three-fourths OF the state was visited
Dy showers last week. The drouth In
the southeastern part of the state
has not been broken and early corn
in that locality Is reported to be in
jured. The week was marked by ex-
cessive temperature, the maximum
temperature being above 100 degrees.
The southeastern counties reported
the highest temperatures with Ill
degrees.
DR.. Chappels report for the week
ending July 9th follows:
! Excessively high temperature and
bright sunshine prevailed during the
first half of the week, the heated per-
iod eliminating in maximum tempera-
lures considerably above 100 degrees;
the highest temperature reported be-
ing Ill degrees in southeastern coun-
ties. While showers occurred over
the larger part of the state on the
night of the 9Th, the drouth remains
practically unbroken The showers
afforded temporary relief in narrow
belts and spots covering probably
three-fourths Of the state, and few
localities reported rainfall sufficient
for present needs, but over the bulk
of the state the amount was too light
to give material benefit. Most of the
corn is still holding its own remark
ably well, but some Of the earliest
planted, especially in the southern
counties, has been seriously injured
and If rain does not come soon the
crop in those sections will be light.
Haying and small grain harvest have
progressed rapidly under favorable
conditions. Thrashing has begun and
early reports indicate good quality
and<a fairly good yield of winter
wheat. The yield of oats varies from
fifteen to thirty-nve bushels The
hay crop will average between one
half and three-fourths of ton per
acre. Pastures afford but little feed,
and in many localities hay is being fed
to stock. Potatoes and garden truck
show serious damage. Wells are fail
ing and water for stock is getting
scarce"

THE SWITZERLAND PLAN.

Question of How to Handle Children
Easily Solved.
In the overcrOwded quarters of every
city where working people live there
are always many small children who
are allowed to run the streets without
proper oversight The great question
with the authorizes Is how to handle
them and prevent them a. far as pos
sible from becoming criminals. Swift
zerland has solved the problem. partly
at least.
In the city of Basel. for instance.
guardian schools" organized and sup
ported by the state. are open every
day. and from the middle of November
till the middle of March every evening.
They can hardly be called schools. but
rather recreation classes. Under the
teachers direction the children play
games. tell stories. sing. embrOider.
sew, and so forth. In good weather
they are taken outdoors for games or
walks. Each class has about thirty
five children In it. just enough for the
teacher or guardian to handle comfort
ably. The state provides all the ma
terials for the games and work.

OFFICERS BLAMED BY
RESCUED PASSENGERS
Chance to Save All on Board
Saata Rosa Refused, Vile
Sea Was YET Calm.

San Francisco-W-t tn anger waxing
rather than dimin sh ng, the rescueu
passengers OF the steamer Santa
Rosa who were brought here, alter
the vessel went to pieces on ON the
rocks at Point Arguello, declared that
a rigid investigation of the saster
would be demanded
They held the Santa Rosa's officers
responsible for the grounding OF the
steamer and many declared they
would testify before the United
States marine authorities that It was
negligence that forced them into a
life and death battle with the break
ers. ss
The ships officers and the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company are harsh
ly censured for delay IN rescuing pas
sengers.
While three vessels stood by from
dawn until dark, ready to take the
passengers off the steamer, nothing
was done until it was too late. The
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, it
IS alleged, could not make up its com
mercial mind as to how much it would
be worth to save the two hundred
persons.
The sea had risen and the other
vessels could not stand in close
enough to make quick transfer OF
passengers in the boats. So the pas
sengers had to take the dangerous
alternative of trying to make land
ing in the surf on shore barbed with
rocks, hemmed by breakers.
So far as has yet been ascertained,
only four members OF the crew-the
second officer, Heuson and three sail
ors-were lost.
