PROGRESS MADE IN
SEEDING AND FLOWING

Des Moines. April 24.-The third
week in April was colder than usual,
the average daily deficiency in tenn
perature being about degrees. Freez-
ing temperature was reported from
the larger part of the state on several
mornings. and one of the heaviest
April snowstorms on record IN this
state occurred over the southern and
eastern counties on the seventeenth.
Several stations reported from seven
to eight inches Of snowfall, but crops
and fruit were not far enough adj
vanced to receive damage from the
snor or freezing temperature. The
heavy showers on the afternoon and
night of the twentieth gave an excess
of precipitation for the week. Farm
Ing operations were somewhat retard-

fall was heaviest, but in the larger
part of the state fair progress
has been made in seeding and plow-
ing, with the soil in fine working con-

CASE WORRIES STATE

Centerville, April 24.-What to do
with a leper to get him home when he
Is found In Iowa and lives in Michi-

boards of health Of two states and the
local authorities. Herman Hirschfleld

pected of having the disease. The

referred to United States authorities.

return to Michigan. In the meantime
he is receiving reassuring reports that
his home people are standing by him,
that the mayor of his city and the Bay

their power to get him home. The
diagnosis on which he is suspected OF
having leprosy was made by Detroit
