and impressive ceremony united

fully attired in white dress trim
med in messaline and lace. The

hearty congratulations were extend
ed the guests were invited to the

groom's farm near that city.

Leon won the first game of the
year from Lamont Saturday by a
score of to O. Although the
game had been scheduled as High
School contest, some of the men,
bers of the local school team were
unable to make the trip and their
places were filled with outsiders.
Lamont also used two or three play
ers who were not High School schol-
ars and the game was more of con-
test between two towns than two
High Schools. Brown and Leeper
were the big factors in the otfense
of the locals and it was due to the
work Of this pair that the Leon boys
were able to slip over the lone
touchdown in the third period.
Brown carried the ball within strik-
ing distance by a magnificent run of
fifty yards and single plunge by
Leeper carried the oval across for
the only count of. the game. The

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For week ending Sept. 80, 1917

For week ending Sept. 80, 1912
Des Moines, Iowa.
The damp cloudy and cold wealth
err which prevailed during the third
week of the month continued during
the past seven days. Heavy to kill
ing frOsts are general, and freezing
temperatures occurred in many
localities on two or three mornings.
Variable reports are received as to
the damaging effect of the recent
frosts on the late planted corn, but
the extent of injury will not be fully
determined until after the crop has
been harvested. Probably 20 per
cent of the crop was somewhat dam
aged, but as whole, the crop is re-
markedly large and sound in view
of the fact that the spring was late,
and at many times during the season
the weather was not considered to
be favorable. Probable 80 per cent
to IS per cent of the total yield will
be sound and merchantable, and the
balance will possess much feeding
value. That there was not more
damage done by the frosts is due to
the fact that over the larger part,
If not all of the state, the weather
became cloudy early in the morn
ing and remained so during the day.
The final reports for the season will
show that Iowa has produced one of
the largest, if not the largest crops
of corn and small grain in the his
tory of the state. In fact, all crops
have been good except apples. The
frequent and we'll distributed show
ers have put the ground in excellent
condition for fall blowing, and con-
siderable winter wheat was sown
during the past week. Pastures are
in fine condition and stock is gener-
ally healthy except some hog cholera
prevailing in the southwestern
counties.
