B. F. Keltz will regret to learn that
he is a defeated candidate for the
Office of United States district mar
shall for the northern district of
Iowa. Mr.. Keltz has been a candi-
date for the position for the past
two or three years and has worked

recommendations were made:

district-Arthur Springer of Wapel-
10. a
1t is freely predicted by close
friends of President Taft that he
will not follow the recommendation
of the delegation, but will appoint
standpatters to the positions or
make no changes at all in some of
the offices.

CROPS REPORTED
IN GOOD CONDITION
Damaged in Some Sections by Hail
and Wind-Corn is Normal
and Doing Well.

Des Moines, July 16.-Special to
the Freeman-Tribune: Under the
effect Of high temperatures and fire.
quent and fairly we'll distributed
copious showers all crops have made
rapid progress. There was. howev-
er, considerable damage done in
some localities by hail. heavy rains
and high winds in lodging grain.
but this will be more than counter
balanced by the benefit received by
corn, late grains, spring seeding Of
timothy and clover, pastures. pota-
toes, gardens and fruits. Corn made
very rapid growth. and large por-
tion of it is now up to the normal
for the middle of July. Many Of
the early fields in the southern
counties are beginning to tassel,
and all OF 1t has good color. Ow-
ing to the fact that in most localf-
ties the showers came at night, rap
Id progress was made in haying and
harvesting. About all of the rye,
fall wheat and early oats in the
southern counties are in shock, and
threshing will begin in that section
OF the state during the coming
week, with prospects OF good to
heavy yields. About half of the hay
has been put up in fine condition.
The quality of timothy Is extra
good. and while the yield is not
quite up to the average, it is much
better. than last year. Reports con-
tinue to indicate that much of the
timothy will be saved for seed, es-
pecially in southern counties. All
field crops are now in prime condi-
ton, and with occasional good
showers give promise Of large yields
