SIDE P. O..

MYNARD'S DRUG STORE GIVEN
STATION FACILITIES BUT WILL
NOT COLLECT MAIL.

With the passing of September, also
passed the south side postofhce OF

handled from a south side office, al
though the same accommodations az
have, heretofore been rendered south

form but the regular sub-stat1on has

Beginning this morning there was q
station opened in the w. H. Mynard
drug store where stamps may be pur'
chased, money orders and registered
mail, special delivery, etc., may be had
Just the same as at the main office
but the actual distribution of mail, Its
collection and delivery from a sub
station on the south side is gone fol-
good. The plan will add to the serv
Ice in South Ottumwa instead of TAX
ing from it, so it is said at the post
office. There it is maintained that
time Is saved by distributing the mai
entirely on this side and making the
trip to the south side by each carrier
instead of sending over the mail fol-
distribution and thus delaying the
work by additional handling. Deputy
Postmaster G.. G. Keyhoe states thai
the new plan will cut off considerable
time in the service to south side resi-
dents and they will not only get their
mail more promptly, but be given bet
ter service generally in the collecting
of the mail.
The passing. Of the south side post

ALL CROPS GOOD
EXCEPT APPLES
CLOUDY WEATHER PREVENTED
FROSTS FROM DOING GREAT
DAMAGE OVER STATE

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-For the week
ending Sept. 20, 1912:
The damp, cloudy and cold weather
which prevailed during the third week
of the month continued during the
past seven days. Heavy to killing
frosts were general, and freezing tenn.
peratures occurred in many localities
on two or three mornings. Variable
reports are received as to the damag.
ing effect Of the recent frosts on the
late-planted corn, but the extent of in
jury will not be fully determined I'm.
til after the crop has been harvested.
Probably 20 per cent of the crop was
somewhat damaged, but as a whole.
the crop is remarkably large and sound
in view of the fact that the spring
was late, and at many times during
the season the weather was not con.
sidered to be favorable. Probably go
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 dam
age 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 morning after each
frost 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 history
of the state. In fact, all crops have
been good except apples. The frequent
and we'll distributed showers have put
the ground in excellent condition for
fall blowing, and considerable winter
wheat was sown during the past week.
Pastures are in fine condition and
stock is generally healthy except some
hog cholera prevailing in the south
western countless George M. Chap
