Des Moines, Iowa.
Although the nights were cool the
days were hot, making the average
daily temperature about five degrees
above the normal. The sunshine was
excessive, there being scarcely any
cloudiness until Saturday afternoon,
and there was practically no rainfall
in the state until Sunday morning,
and then only few light showers in
the northeastern counties. Corn is
doing as we'll as could be expected
under present conditions. In the
southern part of the state, where the
drought has been most severe, much
of the early planted corn is dry
enough to cut, and the binders are at
work in some fields. Under the eff
fects of the rains two weeks ago late
corn is filling out fairly well, and in
the northern counties where the
rainfall has been the most plentiful
the crop will be fully up to if not
above the average of past years, but
elsewhere the present dry, hot
weather is forcing it to maturity too
rapidly for the best results. The dry
weather is also damaging apples,
pastures and late potatoes, and de-
laying blowing. In southern districts
wells are again failing and pastures
are brown. In some sections stock
| is being given almost full winter ra-
tions.

Count Happiness a Duty.

Be happy all the time. 1t is we'll
established law that mental habits
are as readily formed as physical.
HAPPINESS is one state OF conscious
ness
What mind may do for the body is
incalculable, and what each individ-
ual working along the same line
toward happiness in every other in
dividual, could do toward uplifting
the human race is also incalculable
Pulling thus together, with mind
gradually lifted above sordid brood
ings, and each taking the best view
of life, few generations and the
whole plane of thought would be
healthier, happier and broader, for
progress and happiness-or, SHALL we
say the capacity for happiness-are
parallel.
Make it a mental habit to see the
good in everything. Keep before your
mind mental idea of happiness and
harmony. From the thought that evil
exists only for the purpose OF being
developed into the good and beauti-
full and then keep your mind trained
to the tune of the good and beautiful.
Remember ''the imagining force is
real creative force for each one OF
u.s." and that mental pabulum
should be as carefully selected as the
menu for dinner You may choose,
and should choose, what you will
think as what you will eat, and let
me warn you that just as food you
eat affects you physically, so what
you think affects you physically, for
mind, body, and soul are interde-
pendent, and you have only to ex-
pertinent to prove this to your own
satisfaction.
! For instance, if at this moment
you are suffering from a dull head
ache, your brain is sluggish and
your mood depressed; if the head
ache is sharp, then your nerves seem
"all on edge," and instead of being
depressed, in spite of the pain, you
feel an exhilaration amounting to
excitement. Similarly, too, excite
ment causes the blood to circulate
more quickly and in the direction of
the head, and, correspOndingly, men
tai depression retards the circulation
so that it fails to stimulate as it
which it flows.

very closely related, after all, and if
we could only realize how desirable
it is to have the mental and
physical forces working harmonious
ly together we should the more en-
Enthusiastically and earnestly endeavor
to bring them into that state.
Do not think the old trite saying,
''Be good and you will be happy is
merely a saying. On the contrary,
since everything is by comparison,
everything is good or bad, lovely or
unlovely, productive of good results
or of bad, and SO it follows, that il
you are in the "good" class all the
good things are due you-happiness,
beauty, propriety. Some one has said
Happiness is uncertain, transitory, -
but | must disagree.

SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Positive Proof That Bird Travelled the
Distance From England to South

The capture Of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal, South
Africa, the other day, has resulted In
an astonishing insight into the migra.
tory habits Of BIRDS. From a number
and address stamped on the ring 1t
was discovered that the swallow was
one Of 11,483 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking Of birds began In 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
hinged" About three per cent. are
afterwards noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest fight so far. A
black-headed gull ringed as a nesting
In Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
in February, 1912, in Flores, Azores.
