WEED CUTTING DAY,
DATE WILL BE FIXED
Wet Weather Has Pushed Along the
Growth Of Weeds
Wonderfully.

The state highway commission, so
advices from Des Moines say, has it
in mind to fix weed cutting day."
Probably about July l. will be Sc
lected.
The law provides that weeds must
be cut between blooming and seed
ing" or between July 10 and August
Is.
The wet weather has pushed the
weed business along so fast that many
. them embellish the sides of the
roadways through the state.
Therefore, the commission inclines
to believe that July 1 will be none too
soon to undertake the slaughter of the
first weed crop in Iowa.
Their call will be call to arms. or
scythes, and to lay low every weed
in every roadway in Iowa on the date
selected.
Some of the streetways In Keokuk
are assuming very striking appear.
ance of needing scythe or sickle. In
some localities. Many spots here and
there all over the city, look as II a
weed cutting day." would be very
beneficial to the beauty of the land
scape.

GO THROUGH BUILDINGS

The executive committee OF the
Iowa Fire Prevention association will
be in Keokuk June Is and 26 to make
an inspection OF the buildings of the
city. Every field man in the state
will be asked to participate in the in
spection which will be in charge of
E. S. Phelps of Burlington.
There will be about forty men N
the party and they will probably be
accompanied by the state fire mar
shall. These men represent every
insurance company doing business in
the state and they make these inspec-
tons In the principal cities OF the
state. They divide into squads and
visit every mercantile building in a
city. The report is published broad
cast. The inspection is very desir-
able thing and in many cities COM
mercial bodies have petitioned for It,
The state fire marshal has author
ity to condemn any building If dan
gerous or dangerous to adjoining
property and the insurance men will
order all defective electric wiring,
fues. etc, corrected or the wner OF
the building viii likely have his in
surance cancelled and be unable to
get insurance from any Arm
Conditions in Keokuk are probably
about the average of cities this size
over the state and 1t is probable that
unless many changes are made be
fore June % there will be a great
many ordered here by the inspectors
Electric wiring is probably the great
est cause of useless fires in the state
today and accumulation of trash. In
fammable materials and defective
fiues are among the leading causes.
The State Fire P evention associa
ton has accomplished much in its
work and is growing more effective
each year.

NEW YORK, June 6.--All the for
eign markets We're cheerful today and
in the afternoon trading here the
market advanced sharply with general
gains for the day. On this advance
trading became very active The
early movement here was irregular.
After opening at fractional gains for
many of the active shares, there was
renewed selling which depressed the
market, causing declines of from IA
to one point in standard stocks.
On this movement the trading be-
came dull and there was manifest less
disposition to sell stocks. The whole
tone changed after one o'clock and
under the leadership of United States
steel, Reading, Union Pacific and St.
much the best prices of the day. The
market continued very active and
there was good buying of most of the
standard stocks in the last hour.
The improvement seemed to be
based on the feeling that the reaction
had gone too far and with cessation
of the selling by Europe there was
less pressure here. The wheat ex-
ports from this country during the
present week. according to Brad
streets estimate, broke all weekly
records in this country's history, ex-
cept for two weeks in August. 1901.
