SO many Of the soldiers or union
ism who have helped to win the

stewardship.
"Four years ago, when first
became your president, promis-
ed you,and also our national presi-
dent, that if God would give me
physical and mental strength, !
would build up your organization
until the Farmers union should
beknown from one end of the
state to the other as the greatest
constructive force ever within our
state, working for rural better
ment. AT that time the member
ship was scattered and dishearten-
ed. The treasury was not only
depleted, but heavily burdened
with debt. You placed the flag
Of leadership in my hands. Wheth-
er or not it has been allowed to

In every action, | have ear

in the thought that ] have done

evidence, but 1t must be all of the
evidence that Is to be introduced.
In making the statement of facts
for the courts use counsel submitted
all of the evidence they had prepared
for their various sides of the case.
This was done to save time and also
to permit the taking of the case from
the issue of breaking the law to that
iof the laws constitutionality. The
matter of guilt has thus far not been
admitted or denied by any OF the
parties concerned as defendants.
Thus the evidence given was agreed
to by both factions and the rest of the

will be submitted to the court for
consideration. Following this oral
argument will be taken up. sa.. \
The court stated that 1t would not

At THE COURT HOUSE
Interior Decorations Added Mater
tally to the Building.

Work on the interior decorations
of the main floor of the county court
house are about completed and it
will be matter of surprise to many,
after being familiar with the former
color work for so many years. The
main entrance and the public CORR
dor is of course the most elaborate
and here the wainscoting and the
plaster columns are of a dark mot
tied green, the colors being blended
to a cloudy effect from the dark col
ors to light brown. The wall is a
dark colonial yellow with light
brown border and the ceiling and
freize of light cream. The soffet of
the arches are finished in brown with
the beads of gilt. The medalions
over the arch near the entrance are
finished in light gree nand gilt and
the capitals of the columns on either
side in white and gilt. The radiators
are being trimmed in sympathy with
the color scheme of the various rooms
those in the corridor being black and
gilt Stencil work has been very lit
tie used and even the gliding has
been used only when necessary to
produce the best effect 7o
The color scheme OF the various
rooms has been changed with effec-
tive taste and all Of the work is pleas
ing in its appearance. The. supervis-
ors' room is finished in series of
grays, the wall being pearl gray
with a darker border and very light
shade on the ceiling. The office of
the County Treasurer is finished in
a golden yellow with border of
| brown and light cream ceiling. The
colors used in the office Of the sheriff
are a colonial yellow on the walls
with light, brown border and cell
| lag, and freiZe of white. The re-
eordeTs office is nicely finished with
light green effect on the walls,
darker green border and the ceiling
and freize in cream. The county
auditors office is in the lighter col
ors of yellow on the walls, with
light brown border and ceiling and
freize of cream. 5-t.
The office Of the county superin-

only room in which stencil work has
been used This room is finished
with light yellow on the walls, a
brown border. with a neat stenciled
pattern, below and the ceiling and
freize of rich cream. The whole
work is, thoroughly appropriate and
all blends together in a harmony of
colors that is most pleasing to the
eye. 1t is a matter of qualification

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.

Ga 80 afIl)E 4
Des Moines, Iowa, July 15.-0ne
more week of favorable weather. has
been added to this suspicious mid
crop season. The temperature was
about normal, and cooler than the
two preceding weeks. Showers were
general on Friday except over the ex-
treme southeastern counties, and the
amounts of rainfall exceeded an inch
in many localities. Rapid progress
was made in haying and harvesting.
Clover hay is exceptionally heavy and
timothy is fair to good. Much winter
wheat, rye, early oats and barley are
in shock, and threshing has begun in
southern counties. Late oats are be-
ginning to ripen and will be ready
to cut in a week or ten days Winter
wheat is good crop, but the yield
will not be as great as last year. The
showers were of great benefit to
corn, pastures, late potatoes and gar
den truck, but more rain is needed
for corn, which is beginning to tas-
sci and will require. plenty of mois-
ture to produce heavy caring. If, APP
Piles continue, to drop. badly. .-r.-

A. to Adhesive Postas. Stamps.

Rowland Hill had nothing to fear
from enlightened officers OF health
foreboding that stamp licking" would
disseminate consumption diphtheria,
smallpox and scarlet fever" 1t ID re-
markable to recall with what enthusi.
asm the public took to stamp licking
in 1870. The adhesive stamp seems
to have been only an after-thought Of
the great postal reformer whose orig.
inal proposal covered only the sale OF
ready-stamped envelopes. Even when
he admitted the adhesive stamp az an
alternative, he thought 1t would be
reserved for exceptional cases" But,
In spite OF newspaper jeers at bits Of
sticking plaster for dabbing on the
letters the public soon showed its
mind. The stamped Mulready en-
veiope proved a dead failure, while for
weeks the supply OF sticking plaster"
fell far below Its demand. ~. s.,,
