WEATHER AND
CROP BULLETIN
81 ~
Past Week Favorable for Field Work
Late Corn Showing a
. Good Stand.

Des Moines, June 4.-The past
week was exceptionally favorable
for field work, Notwithstanding the
fact that excessive rain fell over
some of the northwestern counties
on May 26th and 27th, and heavy
showers occurred in the southwest
ern and west central districts on
Friday night, and light to copious
showers occurred in all other parts
of the state some time during the
week. Considerable damage was
done in Cherokee county by the
heavy downpour q rain. Fields
were badly washed and several
bridges were taken out by high
water. The average temperature
was about normal, although the
nights were cool. Planting and re-
planting of corn is nearly finished.
The late planting is coming up and
shows a fair to good stand. The
first cultivation has begun, and the
fields are generally clean and in
good condition. Small grain and
grass have continued to make rapid
progress except in few localities,
especially in the southwestern and
southeastern counties where the
rainfall was deficient prior to the
last week. The late rains will, how
ever, be of great benefit in all sec
tions. Winter wheat and rye are
heading in northern, and the first
cutting of alfalfa was harvested in
southwestern counties. Most of the
late planted potatoes are up and
give promise of good crop. Straw
berries are beginning to ripen in
southern districts with prospects of
fair to good yields.

Graft Wheeler.

Sunday morning at nine O'Clock
occurred the marriage OF Miss Mary
Graf OF this city to Mr.. George Fl.
Wheeler of Woodstock, the simple,
impressive ceremony being perform
ed by the Rev. J. @. A. Miller of
this city, a former Baptist minister
of woodstock, with but few friends
In attendance. The young bride
was lovely in a pretty white frock
and carried fragrant bouquet of
bridal flowers
Mary is dear girl of whom one
can easily say, no one knows her
but to love her and during her years
stay in this city has made many
friends who deeply regret her de-
parture from their midst. While
here she has been employed in the
Metcalf dry goods store and her con-
genial and pleasing manner with
both customers and co-workers was
such that her presence will be
greatly missed.
Mr.. Wheeler has lately purchased
a general store in Woodstock. He is
o young man of good habits and is
possessed Of the steady and sterling
qualities which make him well
worthy of the young lady he has
chosen for his life companion.
Immediately following the oere-
mony the young couple went over
land to Woodstock where a delicious
wedding breakfast was served at the
home of the groom's sister.

C0LORED FILMS
ARE VERY COSTLY
The Immense Amount of Work Nee
essary to Make Colored Films
for Picture Shows.

Few persons who attend the pict-
ure shows in Webster City have
any conception of the expense and
the immense amount Of work neces-
sary for the production of the beau
tiful hand colored films released
regularly by the Pathe-Freres COM
pany.
At the present time there are no
American manufacturers making
hand colored pictures. AS the ma
jority of the films exhibited in this
country are of American manufact-
ure it is rarely that one of these
beautiful pictures is seen.
1t is in the immense studio OF
the Pathe-Freres company in
France that the majority of hand
colored pictures are made.
The first steps in making the col
ored picture are the same as those
taken in the making of an ordinary
uncolored film The negatives are
made in the same manner and the
posities (Which are the films them
selves) are developed by the same
method. 1t is after the positives
are made that the hard and tedious
work in the producing of these films
begins. The positive of the ordin-
airy picture has no color. None is
shown in any kind of photography,
therefore it is necessary to apply
the color to the positive. AS there
are more than twelve pictures upon
every foot OF film it is necessary to
color every one Of these pictures.
These views are SO tiny that it is
necessary to use magnifying glass
to enlarge the pictures so that the
colors can be placed properly. The
work is done by girls, hundreds of
whom are employed in the immense
studio of the Pathe company. These
girls work all day long upon these
tiny pictures, coloring each one,
great care being necessary in order
that the colors may be the same in
every picture.
As there are about one thousand
feet Of film in every picture and
twelve pictures TO the foot is low
average, there are something like
twelve thousand pictures to be col
ored In just one subject. When it
Is realized that FIVE and six colors
are used upon film one may get a
faint idea of the amount OF work
which Is necessary to get hand
colored picture film ready for the
market.

Another Farm Sale.

Ellsworth News: Ray Hendrick-
son has purchased a 100 acre farm
5 miles northeast of here. The deal
was made through Jos. Olsen and
the purchase price was $125 per
acre.
Three years ago Ray bought 160
acres in the vicinity Of Kamrar, but
was so well pleased with this end Of
Hamilton county that he bought the
second quarter to live on. Cattle
and hogs are responsible in large
way for him being able to make this
second investment.

Old Landmark With a Record.

The old frame building on Des
Moines street just RACED to give
place to a new brick to be built by
l.. E. Stuart was one of the first
structures on that street, and it has
a record. 1t was built some forty
years ago, was occupied for num-
Der of years as beer saloon and
was so occupied when the prohibi-
tory law took effect in 1884, TWEEN
ty-eight years ago. A resident of
Webster City told the Freeman-Trib-
une day or two ago of the things
that happened there in the good
old days when rum ran riot" A
man by the name of Peter DELPHI
was then running the place. Peter
had lots of trouble with his custom
ers and figured frequently in police
court records. Upon one occasion,
when "the boys We're having a
time" Peter got the worst of it..
There was a little cellar under the
building, access to which was gain
ed by a trap door from the saloon.
Peter kept his beer in this cellar.
One night when business was good
the supply of the amber fluid in
the ice box became exhausted and
Peter descended into the hole in the
ground to get more. The boys told
him to hand up three or four kegs,
which he did, then when he at
tempted to climb the stairs the trap
door was dropped and Peter was a
prisoner in his cellar. The boys
placed a number Of chairs over the
trap door, sat down in them and
proceeded to reduce the visible sup
ply of liquid refreshments. This, of
course, took several hours. all of
which time Peter was in the cellar
yelling like Sioux Indian and
threatening all manner of things.
When the company had had all they
wanted they told Peter they would
let him out il he would promise not
TO prosecute them. To this Peter
readily assented, giving his word Of
honor. He was then permitted to
emerge from his den and when he
did so the saloon was deserted. Next
day he had the whole bunch arrest
ed and each offender contributed a
few dollars to the school fund.

Women Win as Home Builders

Women Win as Home Builders
on the general principle that it
takes a woman to do we'll the thing
that a man knows all about. How
ever, the making of a real home is
second nature with most women and
for that reason they should be con-
suited pretty freely about the plans
for the house. When it comes to
lumber we find the women are ex-
tremely keen on the satin finish and
smooth surface stuff. Guess they
know that this kind of lumber is
going to save heap of money in
the actual work of building because
it won't need any planning or sand
papering by the carpenter. We're
strong on that very thing ourselves
and the mills we buy of lay particu-
lar stress on the high grade quality,
bright color and natural grain Of
their Finish, Flooring, Ceiling, Sid
ing, Case, Base, etc. Come in and
see this for yourself. diff

WE NEED BETTER
FIRE PROTECTION
Urged by Committee From Fire Pre-
vention Association who Re-
Gently Visited City.

The visit of the committee of the
Iowa State Fire Prevention Associ-
alton to this city last week is the
cause of much interest being arous-
ed in greater fire protection. 1t is
probable that a local association
will be organized. The state associa-
ton is in cooperation with the Ma
tional Fire Prevention Association
the first of the kind organized. A
letter received at this Office from one
of the members of the committee
who visited the city will be of inter-
est to our readers. An extract from
his letter follows: IN
Fire prevention was first taken
up by large interests in the east, as
they found it impossible to secure
adequate insurance in the congested
areas. BY organizing the parent as
ISOLATION they reduced fire hazards
in the high value districts and in
surance companies reciprocate by
writing larger insurance therein.
The movement came west to Chi
cago and the late Marshal Field was
one of its sponsors and now nearly
every state has an association work
ing along the same lines and Coop
Grating with the national body. The
work of the association is just what
the name would signify, the preven-
tion of fires, and it has met with
good success, especially in the east.
The per capita share of fire losses in
the United States is $2.51 yearly,
while in Europe 1t is 33 cents, due
to better laws as to buildings and to
the enforced keeping of properties
clean. New York City expends over
ten millions annually in the up keep
of its fire department and only s15,-
600 for fire prevention.
In Webster City we found some
risks that were a menace to the
property exposed and in our system
of reports these will be brought out
and owners notified by letter from
the secretary Of the association and
1t is hoped that they will cooperate
with us to the extent OF seeing that
unnecessary hazards are done away
with.
We found that the wiring in the
majority Of the buildings is old and
poorly installed and recommended to
the men present at our meeting
some method be installed by which
a property owner can be confident
Of securing wiring that will not be
a hazard to his risk.
We found that Webster City is
badly in need Of extra equipment
for fighting fires and emphatically
urge that this matter be looked in
to, as the good luck that has kept
the place from having bad loss
from fire may have dulled the pub
lie sense to the need of adequate
fire protection. You need a chemi-
cal wagon first, as it would be Of
untold service in fighting basement
and small dwelling fires, and extra
ladders are also much in need. These
with other items should be taken up
at once and this association stands
ready to make ,any suggestions on
this point at any time. There never
was fire but that little care at
the proper time would have pre-
vented it and this surely is move
ment in the right direction and de-
serves the support of every public
spirited citizen.

No More
Constipation
---WHEE!
It's Me For Olive Tablets.

That is the joyful cry Of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and Calomers old.time
enemy, discovered the formula for
Olive Tablets while treating patients
for chronic constipation and torpid
liFers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth-
ing laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of
these little sugar-coated tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to
act normal. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Il is easy to compel bowel and liver
activity for a time with calomel and
nasty, sickening, gripping castor oil,
but the after effects are dangerous,
and the real cause of the trouble is
often not even touched.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are so
easy to take that children do not re-
gard them as medicine. at all.
If you have a dark brown mouth"
now and then-a bad breath-a dull,
tired feeling-Eick headache-torpid
liver and constipated, you'll find quick,
sure and only pleasant results from
one or two little Olive Tablets at
bedtime. They're perfectly harmless.
Thousands take one every night just
to keep right. Try them.
