Ii may be said for Senator Cummins'

undo the injury which he helped to do
the republican party, notes the Ames
Times.
We suppose that the esteemed Times
would decidedly condemn physician

from mans body. The Times
method would be TO permit The man to
die.
Senator Carnmins never did injury
to the republican party. The Iowa
senator was one Of the first TO realize
that the cancerous growth had de-
veloped within the party and that If il
was not removed the party would nee

TOWAS CROPS.

UMonte1uma Republcan
! The crop bureau at the state capt.
tol reports that Iowa will produce at
least 330000.0oo bushels Of corn this
year. Study these figures. Some corn
! isn't it?
j A few weeks ago there was a bit of
scare among the producers: a fear ex-
pressed that for once old Iowa was to
come up minus on this great crop. But
. the state that never fails has not vet
come TO the point of breaking q prece-
dent and stands pat on a corn crop
| that looms UP in amazing figures
when we read of the big swath cut by
the drouth in other big producing
states. It's just a habit OF Iowa. Crop
failures are unknown here and it
wouldn't do to go slumping this year
when other sections of the United
States will be short. Great in soil and
great in production thru all the years
have made Iowa land so skyward in
price: have been responsible for the
return Of those who left the state TO
find greener fields.
Not so many years ago 3o0,000,o00
bushels of corn was considered
| bumper and there was little rejoicing.
Corn sold at 20 cents hushel and
the net returns were too meager to
mention: most of the time on the red
side OF the ledger. Today few people
predict less than 60 cents and the
more sansuine on high prices believe
it will go seventy-five or better. The
value of the corn crop this year makes
that of some years look like a four
ounce bottle cork in the Atlantic
ocean.
Iowa farmers are prosperous and
happy There is a business air found in
all the towns from hamlet size TO the
biggest that reflects so The past ten
years have been record breakers in
Iowa and in the United States. The
story OF wealth produced reads like
fiction and the end is not yet. unless

THREE OF CORN CROP.
fFaafield Ledger.]

During the past week The Ledger
has asked twenty three farmers for
estimates on the corn crop of 1913.
These inquiries covered the townships
Of Walnut, Penn, ckhaWk. Locust
Grove. Center, Buchanan, Lockridge,
Round Prairie. Cedar and Liberty. or
practically all the county. The low
est estimate is SO per cent OF an
average crop. the highest Is per cent.
The average is about TO per cent. In
come localities the yield will be consid-
erably affected by an early frost, Tor
it will catch quite an acreage of late
corn. In many sections OF the county
high winds in August blew down many
fields in such a way as to seriously
damage them. This injury will occur
in spots all over the country. 1t is to
be hoped that the yield will be better
than this, but We believe it is fair
estimate.

Much Dynamite Found Beneath the
Window of Mayors Office.

New York, Aug. 21.-Six sticks Of
what is believed to be dynamite were
found this afternoon under a window
of Mayor Gaynor's suite of offices at
the city hall. They were discovered
by a janitor.
After analysis, inspectors reported
that the stuff was 40 per cent dyna-
mite, a quantity sufficient to have de-
molished the city hall, and that deto-
mating caps were found to be placed
in the proper position for exploding
it. A fuse "a piece of Chinese punk,
and three burned matches were found
later near the spot where the dyna-
mite was picked up.
The dynamite and detonating caps
were wrapped in Italian cambric, and
tied with a red and blue twine string.
The six sticks were in one package
and the package was within a few
feet of where Mayor Gaynor was
sitting at the time 1t was found.
