Weather Crop Bulletin.
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. II, 1912

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. II, 1912.
The past week was cool and showery
with an excess of cloudiness and hu-
midity. The average deficiency of tenn
perature was about degrees, and
while the average rainfall was about
normal, many localities reported an ex-
cess of moisture. In some sections
showers occurred every working day
of the week. which delayed threshing
and stacking, but the bulk of shock
threshing is finished in the southern,
and we'll advanced in the northern dis
tricts. Reports continue to show large
yields of small grain. Corn is still doing
we'll, and with favorable weather in
the future will t.,ake one of the largest
crops ever produced in this state. Many
of the early planted fields in southern
and central counties are now in roast
ing ear stage. and the late planted
fields are making rapid growth, but
would do better with warmer weather.
Pastures and potatoes are improving,
and generally in good condition. Fall
blowing for winter wheat has begun in
southern sections.

New Oregon Sunday School.

Rev. B. w. Soper preached to a
large audience last Sunday afternoon,

very plainly pictured what true religion

his sermon very much. There was also
large attendance at the Sunday
School. The secretary's report gave
US the total number present of IS. All

Keep Uncle Sam Out of Virginia

Federal encroacb ment in Virginia,
without specific consent from this
State, is to be stopped if bill now
before the House, offered by Hugh
A. White of ROckbridge. becomes
law. The bill came up before the
Committee on Federal Relations. at
a special meeting called by Chair
man ]. f. Templeton, and it was
unanimously reported.
The government, it was recently
said, had in dredging the Potomac
made some new ground with the
mud on the Virginia side. This had
been fenced in, and the complaint
arose at once from the adjoining
owners, who claimed riparian
rights.
The White bill repeats the act fo:-
merly passed allowing the United
States to come toVirginia and acquire
land by purchase or condemnation,
or otherwise. and then to take com
plete Jurisdiction over it as to gov
eminent. Under the law as it now
stands, the Federal government
came near establishing pena
colony, and it was only averted by
the protest of the Senators and Re-
representatives. in Congress.

Girl Typist Matches Stoker in Ply
steal Labor

The girl who is operating a type
writer does not appear to be doing
very heavy physical labor as COM
pared with the brawny individual
in q stokehold who is shoveling coal
into o hungry furnace, but this is
one OF the many instances in which
superficial appearances are decep-
tive, as a comparison of the force
expended by the two will show.
The stoker may be credited with
handling one ton of coal per hour
or eight tons per day plus the
weight of his shovel. Adding the
shovel to his 1850 pounds of coax
be expends about 10000 pounds OF
energy.
For each key struck on the type
writer there is an expenditure Of
something over three ounces OF
energy. or, say one pound to the
average word. \ fair operator will

will make a thousand lines. so there
are 5000 pounds of energy to be
added to the $4,000, making $4,000
pounds of energy expended-which
