NEEDED IN PLACES
Fall Pastures Suffering In Places for
Moisture VIII be Greatly
Revived by the
Showers.

It was no local shower that visiteu
this vicinity last night but a part of
big general rain that extended over
a large part of the country. In fact,
1t rained heavily from Denver,
through the mountains and over the
lakes to the Atlantic coast at New
York.
Among the heavy rains reported
from several points in different parts
of the United States, at Kansas the
total rainfall is reported at one inch;
at Des Moines, one inch and sixteen
hundredths; OF Omaha, ninety one
hundredths; at Davenport, one inch
and thirty-two hundredths, the heavi-
est reported. Keokuk had the light
est of any OF these. the rainfall here
being seventy-eight one-hundredths.
1t was severe enough here, however,
to dam up the cutters at the sewer
entrances, by clogging them with ac-
cumulated fallen leaves, and other
debris.
Many farmers will be delayed in
planting their winter wheat and in
fall blowing. The great crop of corn
raised this year is safe In the field
and it is too early to begin gathers
ing. There is much other work that
prudent farmers should be doing.
which the rain will interfere with.
These are some of the Ills, but the
wonderful help it viii give to the fall
pastures which were badly needing
rain may more than compensate for
the delays caused.
Much of the fall wheat is already
in the ground. but in many localities,
especially down in Missouri, 1t is re-
ported that rains were much needed
to soften the ground for blowing, and
in some localities the earth was SO
hard that the farmers were much de-
layed, so much so that much of the
winter wheat land remains implanted.
These rains will be welcomed by the
farmers so situated. Then, all in all,
the coming of the showers at this
time may be counted as blessings
even If some delays in farm work are
experienced; it will prepare for farm
work that was delayed on account of
the hard, dry ground. Then the pas
lures will again blossom as the rose.

DOWN
RIVER ON RAFT
Rlrclsaw Family Has Novel Means Of
Transportation to New
Orleans.

Floating down the river toward
Keokuk is a small raft with a tent on
it and little gasoline launch towing
it. 1t carries family of three, and
is bound from the north to New
Orleans almost the entire length Of
the river. The Clinton Advertiser
said of it day or two ago after the
raft had passed that point
A most peculiar sight attracted the
attention of many on the river at an
early hour the other morning. Spec
tre-like and cleaning through the fog
and early mist, the apparition re-
sembled shipwrecked Robinson Cru
soc on his raft, with his cat and dog,
ressurrected from the long ago. 1t
was, however, Gobel H. Birdsaw, wife
and son, of Red Wing, Mimi, who is
floating down the river to New Or
leans.
They intend to make their future
home IN New Orleans and chose the
novel method of floating down the
river to their destination on raft,
towed by launch.
The raft is not very large one
but has tent on it, and in this the
family sleep. The cooking is done on
a gasoline stove on one end of the
raft. Several ducks and half dozen
chickens composedly occupy one end
of the raft. Mr. Birdsaw, when asked
when he expected to reach New Or
leans, replied that he would be there
not later than November 1S.
He has been deriving neat profit
on fish which he has caught and
sold at various points on his cruise
down the river. ana declared tina,
fishing has been fine all the way
down.

Birdsaw, q caught big turtle or

raft again, the turtle got away. HI

An old and experienced florist
taught me many valuable and useful
things in regard to plants. One OF his
tricks was that whenever he trans
planted any flower or plant he always
sifted steel filings into the new soil
before he put in the plant. He ex-

rusted when the soil was watered and
that the rust made the plants grow
rapidly. In the long time that was
associated with him never knew his

the colors of the order, purple and
white and also with national flags.
An arch Of electric lights extends
across Main street at Dreamland thea
ire, and the platforms Of the free at

lights. The store windows are very
artistic in decorations especially the
double window of J. B. Worthen,
whcih is filled with great variety OF
fruits, arranged in pyramids, and
baskets, with golden cornicopa or
horn of plenty in the centre, filed
with assorted fruits. Autumn leaves
and purple and white crimped paper
form the decorations; the whole is as
pretty as picture, and is the work
of Mrs. Worthen and daughter. Chris
Eymann, dry goods, F. Fenor, boots
and shoes, and J. w. Kirkpatrick,
iewelry, also had pretty windows.
