A Fine Service.

The Children's Day service at the
Christian church Sunday night was
greeted with a packed house, and
many were turned away, being un-
able to secure even standing room.
The newly beautified interior Of the
church, together with the ferns and
flowers and the white dresses Of the
children, made the scene very
pretty one. The program was one
OF the best ever given in the church,
no work having been spared by the
committee in charge either by way
of decoration or preparation. Every
participant is deserving Of especial
mention, and the ladies in charge
may well take to themselves the
credit due them.

WEATHER C0ND|-
TONS were ideal

Des Moines, June 1.-The last
week of May brought marked i'm
provement, and the weather condi-
lions during the six working days
were ideal for field work and the
termination and growth Of vegeta-
ton. Excessively high temperatures
and almost continuous sunshine pre-
vailed, with no rain after Monday
noon, except a few light, local
showers on Friday morning, until
Saturday night. Rapid progress was
made in planting corn, and 80 to So
per cent of the crop is now in. The
early planting is. up and shows a
good stand. Cultivation is in prog
ress in many fields, but there is con-
siderable blowing yet to be done on
low wet ground With a continu-
ance of the warm, dry weather prac-
tically all of the corn will be plant
ed by the close of the coming week,
but if wet weather prevails the
acreage will be considerably less
than it was last year. Winter wheat
and rye are heading in southern,
and rye is in blossom in central
counties. All small grain, grass and
clover are making rank growth. Po-
tatoes and garden truck are doing
nicely, and fruits are promising.

PARK.
IS SUGGESTED

E. D. Curtis begun work yester-
day on the little parking of grass
at the east end of the Northwestern
station and will set out a number OF
geraniums and other snowy flowers
which will make very attractive
little spot in the midst of some
what desolate looking locality Of
our city beautiful. ".
We have been informed that the
railroad company are perfectly will
ing and even anxious to fix up their
yards along the tracks between Su-
perior and Des Moines streets if the
merchants along the right of way
would only keep their backyards
cleaned up. The railroad has even
offered to donate burning cans to
dispose of the daily rubbish and
most of the merchants have respond
ed cordially to the requests of the
company and the mayor of the city,
but few can destroy the good work
of all the rest. Unless all clean up
it doesn't do very much good. 1t
would only take few minutes each
morning to dispose of the rubbish
which accumulates in a day and the
result would be an attractive little
parking along the railroad tracks
for travellers through the city to
Judge US by, rather than the pres
ent array of back door rubbish heaps
and in wet weather a dirty pond of
mud and water.
If work could be begun on this
park now, sod could easily be talk
en- from the streets to be paved this
summer, few trees started and If
interest warrants it, curbing put
in similar to that in the middle Of
Des Moines street. With these i'm
provements made, our railroad yards
would be one of the most attractive
spots within the city limits. A lit
tie interest and help from every
merchant along the borders Of these
yards and cooperation on the part
of the railroad company and the
thing can be easily done and done
easily.

Eaualize Assessments.

Yesterday the board of supervis-
ors completed the equalizat ton of
assessments in the county as return
ed by the assessors. No changes
were made except in Liberty town
ship and the town of Jewell. In
Liberty the value of three year old
horses was increased IL per cent
and town lots in Jewell were in
creased 20 per cent. The average Of
farm assessments run from about
s43 per acre in Webster township
to $57 per acre in Cass. The aver
age for the county as not far from
$50. The board expects the state
executive council to increase values,
and thinks the council in better po-
sition to do it, as the council can
make the average in the various
counties or townships of the state.

June MEETING OF
MINISTERIAL UNION

The regular monthly meeting of
the Ministerial Union was held at
the home of Rev. and Mrs. r. R.
Percy last evening.
A delicious two course dinner was
served at six-thirty to the ministers
and their wives by the hostess, Mrs.
Percy.
Following dinner the guests re-
paired to the attractive parlor of the
new parsonage home and posed for a
flash light picture. All of the mem
bers of the union and their wives
were present last evening and Ar
tist Traver thinks that he has Sc
cured very good picture of the
ministerial group.
The business of the evening was
largely devoted to discussing the
matter of union services during the
warm months of July and August.
The plan of conducting an out door
service was suggested and seemed to
meet with the approval of major,
ity. However, no definite action
was taken and it will hold over UNI
til another meeting, when the pas
tors can report the attitude of their
various congregations in the matter.
Following the business session all
Joined heartily in social hour
which was spent very informally
and pleasantly.

Falls From Piano Box.

Little William Gustuson, the three.
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. G.
Gustuson, met with rather sad ac-
cident yesterday afternoon. The lit
tie lad was playing in the backyard
and in his ambition to climb had
in mounting the piano
box. But he was not able to keep
his footing there and fell off, strik-
ing the back of his head severely
against the edge of the box and cut
ting the flesh wide open for quite
distance. A doctor was called to
dress the wound and succeeded in
fixing the little fellow up without
taking any stitches. Although his
head is pretty sore today the wound
will probably heal rapidly.

MANY VISIT CITY
TO SEE RACES

The morning trains have been
well filled with people coming to
this city to see the automobile and
motor cycle races which are being
put on at the west side driving
park this afternoon.
The motor cycle races are proving
the most exciting events. Walter
Strait of Humboldt arrived in the
city this morning with his Excelsior
cycle which he Immediately enter
ed in the motor cycle events. w. H.
Dolberding, also of Humboldt, en-
tiers with his Thor machine. James
Flockhart of Boone, with a Yale,
and T. P. Drackley, also of Boone
and riding Yale, are also here and
ready to take away the honors. Two
other motor cyclists from Des
Moines will also enter which makes
no less than six entries from out of
town. With George Christensen and
Ray Berggren and Lloyd Briggs of
the local riders in the ring this will
be the most interesting Of the race
to local people.
The Colby F. A. L. and Buick
cars have been splitting smoke and
belching fire all morning in prepar-
alton for the final contests this af-
ternoon and their drivers could
scarcely be seen in the midst of the
gaseous clouds they created but rode
about the city completely enveloped
in their gasoline mist.
The splendid weather, of the past
few days has put the track in good
condition and it is expected that the
"red devil and its companions will
make some good records.
