Giggling miglGlg. they Jumped the
stcalthy tread around the house to
Sarah James cabin in the backyard.
Bonnie Dick was sitting on The floor
before the open door, the entrance Of
which was securely barricaded to keep
him inside. Sarah Jane was in the
kitchen cooking supper; they could
hear her happy voice raised in relig-
ious melody; Mrs. Garner had not yet
returned from card party; the coast
was clear, and the time propitious.
Jimmy tiptced to the house and soon
returned with big bottle of a power
full "blondine" in one hand and stick
Of candy in the other.
"Bennie Dick" he said, here's a
nice stick of candy for you If you'll
let us wash your head"
The negro baby's thick, red lips
curved in a grin Of delight, his shiny
ebony face beamed happily, his round
black eyes sparkled as he held out
his fat, rusty little hands. He sucked
greedily at the candy as the two mis-
chievous little boys uncorked the bot
tie and poured a generous supply of
the liquid on his head. They rubbed
1t in well, grinning with delight. They
made a second and third application
before the bottle was exhausted; then
they stood off to view the result Of
their efforts. The effect was ludi-
crous. The combination Of coal black
skin and red gold hair presented by
the little negro exceeded the widest
expectations of Jimmy and Billy. They
! shrieked with laughter and rolled over
and over on the floor in their I'm.
bounded delight.
"Hush!" warned Jimmy suddenly

noated Sarah James song nearer and
nearer.
"'Hit's de old time erligion,
Hits de ole time"
She caught sight of her baby with
his glistening black face and golden
hair. She threw up her hands, closed
her eyes, and uttered terrified
shrek. Presently she slowly opened
her eyes and took a second peer at
her curious-looking offspring. Sarah
Jane screamed aloud:
"Hit's de handiwork er de great Je-
hoshaphat! Hits de .Marster's sign.
Who turnt yo' hair, Benny Dick?" she
asked of the sticky little pickaninny
sitting happily on the Roor. els a

Benny Dick nodded his head with
a delighted grin Of comprehension.
"Hit's de doing er de Lord" cried
his mother. He gwine turn my chile

There was an ecstatic giggle from
behind the door.
Sarah Jane rushed inside as fast as
her mammoth proportions would ad'

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending July Z, 1912.

For the week ending July Z, 1912.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The weather during the past seven
days was exceptionally favorable for
farming operations, and in most sec.
lions for the growth of crops. The
average temperature was about S de.
grees above the normal, and while the
rainfall was decidedly below the
average, many localities received
light to copious, and in few sec.
lions, moderately heavy showers.
The warm, dry weather, and the ex-
cessive sunshine were very beneficial
for haying and harvesting. Much hay
was put up in the best condition; the
yield being somewhat below the
normal. Most of the rye and winter
wheat, and many early oats are in
shock in the southern counties, and
harvest has begun in central and
northern sections. All small grains
give promise of good to extra good
yields, but late oats need rain to fill
to the best advantage. Considerable
rust is reported, but probably no more
than usual. Corn continued to make
rapid growth, and half of it is nearly
up to the normal height for this seas
on of the year. Some of the earlies,
planted fields in the extrtme south
eastern counties are beginning to tas
sci, while much of the late planted
corn is less than IL inches high. Pas
lures remain generally good, but are
beginning to dry up and should have
rain at once. Corn, potatoes. late
oats, fruit and garden truck also mood
rain. Much of the timothy, especial
" in the southern counties, will be
saved for the seed.
The following is summary OF re-
ports from crop correspondents
showing the estimated condition OF
staple crops July 1, 1912, as compared
with the average condition on that
date in past years: Corn, SO per cent;
oats, 100; spring wheat, IS; winter
wheat, 30; barley, 80; rye, 96; max,
Sc; potatoes, SO; hay, Sc; pastures,
IS per cent. On July l, 1911, the con-
ditions were as follows: Corn, 102 per

cent; oats, u; spring wheat, 80; win.
ter wheat, So; rye, SO; barley, 70;
fax, "a; potatoes, SO; hay, 81; pas
lures, 60. The Secretary, Iowa State
Horticultural society reports condi-
ton of fruit as follows: Summer ap-
pies, 81 per cent; fall apples, TO-;
winter apples, II; pears, rs; Ameri-
can plums, II; cherries, so; red rasp-
berries, 81; black raspberries, IS;
blackberries, 40; grapes, 50; cur
