yesterday in two offers. The first

Paper Tags to BE High.

That cardboard automobile num-

the practice of using automobile Ii
cense numbers contrary to law, is In
Dictated by notification issued to
justices of the peace by County At
torney B. o. Tankersley, says the
Marshalltown Times-Republican.
In the recent cases against owners
running under Dealers paper tag
numbers, all that was indicated in
the proceedings was the assessment
of fine and costs.
Mr.. Tankersley has instructed the
justices that they must not only fine
the defendants in these cases, but
they must enter judgment against
them for, the amount of license due
the state, collect the same, and for
ward it to the secretary of state.
The law is declared to be plain,
and the court has no recourse but
to act under the statutes, regardless
of whether or not the owner of the
car has already sent for his license.
In some cases the owner would be
compelled to ply two licenses for his
automobile when one would do, pro-
viding he insisted that he receive his

will induce boreal storms from the
northwest, causing furious conflicts
of storm forces over most parts OF
the country. These storms promise
danger on the great lakes and the
north Atlantic seas-also unusual
storms on the Pacific ocean and
coasts. AS sequel to these storms,
look for an early dash of very cool
weather to spread from the north
west, southeasterly over almost the
entire country. We figure that pre-
mature and heavy frosts will reach
far into the central, If not into
southern regions, after these storms
have spent their force and as the
high barometer swoops down out of
the northwest. Possibly not, but
let us see.
"A A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 9th, 28th and 29th. On
and about these dates, threatening
conditions will return-barometer
will fall, temperature rise, cloudiness
ensue, with more or less storms and
storminess moving from west to east
across the country. September will
go out with clearing and much cool
er weather moving eastward from
the northwest.

Lamont Bakery Burned.

What might have been one of the
most disastrous fires in Lannon's
history was discovered Wednesday
morning by Mr.. Harding when he
went to open the bakery in the
France building on north Linden
street. It had started to rain in the
night and not long before hard
clap of thunder and lightning lead
some to think the lightning went in
to the building on the electric light
wires. Others think it was started
from the oven; as the fire was all
confined to the floor prompt work
by the fire company kept the fire
confined to the building. If the fire
had been allowed to get out of the
building the whole block would un-
doubtedly have been burned.
The stock and machinery is nearly
complete loss. Mr.. Harding valued
the stock and fixtures at $500, with
$1,1OO insurance. This comes as a
pretty severe blow to Mr.. Harding,
as he had just installed some new
machinery and was getting on his
feet nicely.
At nine o'clock the Commercial
Club met and enough money was
provided so that Mr. Harding will
be able to resume business as soon
as he can get the new equipment.
The following committee from the
club will assist him in reopening:
w. A. Grenawalt, w. A. Hopkins,
Daniel Anderson, A. Otis White and
C. E. Blair.
Some of our readers have no idea
of the business done by the Home
Bakery. Mr.. Harding gives employ
ment to two men besides himself,
and Mrs. Harding takes care of re-
tail end. During the twelve days
from August to 16, he used 1913
sacks of flour. This was all used in
bread and buns. In addition to this
was the special pastry -four used in
cakes, etc.
The building was owned by Mrs.
Thomas France, and we understand
no insurance was carried. Lamont

The Two Great Grain Crops.

The 1914 season is now so far ad-
vanced that it is certain that two
great American food crops will ex-
coed the ten-year average yields.
The wheat is harvested except in the
Far North and Northwest. The mag
nitude of the wheat yield is now
known. Despite general drought
conditions in the southern half OF
the corn-growing area, 1t IS an
nounced by the experts of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States that the 1914 corn crop will
reach about 2,700,O00,0O0 bushels.
While this is greater than the
yield in 1913, a year of marked
drought, it falls far short OF the
record crop of 1912, when 1884,
746,OOO bushels were produced. The
1913 yield amounted to but 2,463,-
O17.OOO bushels, and the failure of
the crop in Kansas was largely re-
sponsible for the poor showing.
The ten-year average for the
American corn crop is 2,690,0O0,OOO
bushels. We will exceed this some
what this year, but the excess will
be small. Corn will doubtless be
higher in price than usual, and this
will make the 1914 crops value
much greater than that of any other
year. There will be distinct gain
to parts of the country, although
there are many states where the crop
is short and the high price will
throw an extra and a heavy burden
on the feeders.
OF the three principal cereal crops
of the United States, two have given
yields above the average this year.
Oats, the least important of the
three, was cut short by an early
drouth. The two great food crops
are secure, and with the worlds
markets about to be reopened this
should be a winter of SURPRISING
prosperity to the great army OF pro-
ducers of America. 1t is unfortunate
that all sections cannot share in the
prosperity that will came from the
marketing of these food crops, but
the country at large cannot fail to
profit by the moving of the surplus
wheat and corn into the centers of
world demand.

U. S. WILL BUY IT'S OWN SHIPS
FOR AN OVERSEAS TRAFFIC..
Government Plans to Spend $685.
100000 for Merchantmen for
Transporting Exports to
European Ports.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Establish-
ment of a feet of government mer-
chantmen to transport abroad the
products of American farms and fac
tories while freight ships of other
Europe, is proposed in a bill upon
which administration leaders were
working today for immediate sub
mission to congress.
The project. which has President
Wilson's approval, would embrace
the expenditure of $25,OOO,OO0 by
the United States for building or
buying the ships, and the sale Of
Panama canal bonds to finance the
enterprise.
While emergency legislation for
bringing foreign built ships under
American registry has been enacted
and a bill providing for the insur-
ance of American ships and cargpes
against risks of war now is pending,
yet the necessity for moving crops is
so pressing that the extraordinary
step was determined upon.
The length of time that the gov
eminent would operate the proposed
merchant fleet after the passage of
the European crisis has not been con-
sidered, but it has been suggested
that some of the ships might be re-
tanned as naval auxiliaries or as
transports. The government could
make money out of the project, it
was predicted, but this phase did not
figure in the administration pro-
gram.
The ships, it is planned, will sail
wherever there is demand for
transportation. One outstanding
benefit to be realized, however, adj
ministration leaders hope, will be
the establishment of closer relations
with the countries of central and
South America, whose shipping ia
cilities have been seriously affected
by withdrawal of the many freight
steamers of Nthe nations at war.
The new shipping bill will propose
the creation of a commission to con-
sist of the president, the secretaries
of commerce and treasury, and the
postmaster general, to have charge
of securing the ships and Quitting
them. Then it is proposed to or
ganize a corporation similar to the
Panama Railway company, under
government control for operation of
the fleet after it has been acquired.
1t was said today that owners of
many vessels now tied up In Ameri-
can ports would be glad to dispose of
them.
