CIVIC CLUBS help
in SMALLER TOWNS
Federation Pays Attention to
This Work
(By IONA Gale.)

The department of civics of the Cen
eral Federation is paying special at
tention to civic work in towns of u.s.
900 inhabitants or less.
1t is recommending that civic clubs
instead of working alone, endeayor 70
form the citizens into an organization
OF the whole town to transact this, the
towns business.
This committee urges, too, the ap-
pointment of director of recreation
and believes the next decade will sec
the Office of director of public recrea-
ton as much a matter of course in
cities as will be that of vocational
teacher.
Meanwhile private effort will have
to inaugurate the work. 1t is as easy
for a small town to inaugurate this as
for city.
The value of directed recreation is to
a town what Y. NJ c. A. director or
a playground director is to few. He
develops social centers, opens tbs;
school houses in the evenings, directs
Fairgrounds, controls motion picture
shows, inaugurates open-air sports,
plans pageants and takes charge of the
public observance of holidays. He is
the new master of the revels-with an
ideal as big as democracy.

DeS MoineS Iowa.

For the week ending Sept. IA, 1913.
~. Des Moines. Iowa.
A marked change in temperature
occurred on the Sth, and the past
week was cool and pleasant. The
average temperature was, however,
slightly above the normal, although
light frost was observed in many To-
calities on Friday and Saturday
mornings. Copious to heavy rains
fell in all parts of the state, except
the extreme southeastern and north
western counties, on Wednesday
night and Thursday. Pastures have
revived and show considerable i'm
provement, but the rains came too
late to be of benefit to corn or late
potatoes except in few localities
where the potato vines were still
green. The rains were, however,
sufficient to facilitate blowing in
many sections, but not enough to be
of material benefit to the water sup
ply. The excessively hot, dry wealth
er during the first seven days of the
month hurried corn to premature
death and stopped the filling process
that usually occurs during all of
September and part of October, and
as result the crop will be lighter
than was indicated on September /.
Much corn was cut and many slices
were filled during the week.

Heart Failure.

Rev. Cyrus Deyoe, minister of
the gospel and an old soldier was

Anna Inman. Mr.. Deyoe had no chill
dren except an adopted daughter,

Mr.. Deyoe was ordained in the

in the spring of 1894 by council

ton for eleven years; Of Mt. Pleasant
No. 2 for four years; Of Zion and
Shelburn church in Grundy county

missionary of the north Grand River
Association of Baptist churches and

ed the man who gave greatest prom
Use of temperance legislation. He

and has been an Odd Fellow for over
forty-tWo years.
The funeral will be held today at
1900 a. m. in the Mercer Baptist
church, conducted by Rev. John P.
Thomas, formerly of this place af-
ter which interment will be made in
the Lowry-Snyder cemetery.
He believed in the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man. He
believed that the man who scattered |
flowers in the pathway of his fell
lowmen, who let in the dark places !
of life the sunshine of human SYM
pathy and human happiness, is fol-
lowing in the footsteps OF his Master. !

Montana Letter.

Broadview, Mont, Sept. H., 1913
Editor Reporter and Iowa friend!
too:-Perhaps you would like tt
read letter from Broadview, Mon
tana.
We filed on our homestead here
Dec. 7, 1911, and while we really
only existed at first, and worked
very hard, the experience was a
pleasant one to us as we looked
ahead in hopes of having a home
some time. We left Leon almost
two years ago with merely nothing
but our health and strength and de.
termined minds and we often think
and, talk of the many poor homeless
people in the east and among the
Iowa hills where we were born and
raised, who need home, and of the
good land in this and other western
states waiting for them for almost
the asking. Possibly if we could
send our homestead back ITO Jour
brothers and friends to look at SO
they could see our good crops, II
might wake them up. But should
they come west, no doubt they would
have very hard and skinny time
for year or two, but what is that
compared to having a hard time all
your life by renting or working for
wages?
Our crops here are practically the
the same as produced throughout
the northwest. Fall wheat is the
main crop, although there is lots of
oats, spring wheat, barley, flax and
sugar beets raised.

for the past two years. Some very
good crops have been produced and
it will only be question of time,
when we will be raising corn equal
to some of our sister states.
Several farmers are experimenting
with alfalfa, and are meeting with
very good success on soils that have
been under cultivation. They have
better success where they SOW a
nurse crop of oats or barley with the

peas, beets, kale, satisfy, cabbage,
lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, squash,
sweet corn and pumpkins cannot be

a biped dressed in corduroy trousers
was on Des Moines train lately
and he was filled to the brim with
the spirit that makes Des Moines ia

man from Leon, with hair on his
teeth and whiskers in his ears. He is
