HEATERS FAIL; CHILDREN EN-
JOY PROLONGED REST

The heaters in new grammar school
building continue to fail to operate,
and an air of distinct chilliness per-
vades the building. Experts have come
here to look into the difficulty but
the heaters still balk and remain as
free of warmth as stepmother to-
wards a red-headed step-child. AS a
result there has been little school at
tendance for a week or longer.

FUNERAL OF LITTLE LAD
is LARGELY ATTENDED

Americas has rarely witnessed a
funeral occasion fraught with greater
sadness than that this afternoon when
the body of little Benjamin Stapleton

beneath a wilderness of flowers. The
services were conducted at the family
residence by DR.. ]. A. Thomas and
largely attended by sorrowing friends
Of the stricken parents and brothers of
the dear little boy thus called to his
heavenly home. Many beautiful floral
tributes were laid upon the casket
while the local camp of Boy Scouts, OF
which little Benjamin had been mem
her, acted as an escort Of honor in the
funeral pageant.

Real Estate is to be assessed this

to assessor whether you have bought
or sold any real estate since last re-
turn. The law requires that all pro-

sessed "at its true value in money"
which is construed to mean, 'The sum
of money for which said property, un
der ordinary circumstances, would
sell for cash"
Please don't ask that your property
be taken from the tax duplicate the

Cole L.Blease,
Governor.
By the governor:
r. M. McCown,
Sooro+o-y Of Statn

Il. M. McCOWu,
Secretary Of State.
And in his opening speech. at Sum
tec, he said:
"After reading the sections Of the
statute in regard to fraud in elections,
Governor Blease said:
"And l call upon all of my friends
to see that any person who attempts
to buy votes in this primary, or who
intimidates voters by threats or other
wise, be Immediately prosecuted, and
if you need any assistance in the pro-
secution of the easel promise you, as
governor of this State to furnish it,
because believe in fair, square ell
ection, and propose, so far as in my
power, to see that it is held for all the
offices of our State. You, my fellow
citizens, watch these two things; we
now have majority; we have the
battle won, aud all that we have got to
do is to see that we get fair and
honest showing. | cannot do it all !;
can only do my part; it is up to you
to do yours. If the people are de-
feated, and the corporations and
newspapers and the old ring take
charge of tais government, the people
will be the sufferers The fault will
not be mine. Let the consequences
be what they may, the people OF my
State Will be forced to say Cole. l..
Blease did his part
But when this primary election was
held in August, 1912, great charges OF
fraud were brought, and these "holler
than thou lords Of Democracy, the
editors and some other-all great
guardians" of South Cardinals pri-
maries, who were defeated and whipp-
ed out of their boots with
al their money and chiconery
and trickery, all at once discovered
that the primary was reeking with
fraud and was a corrupt system and
was horrible to contemplate. Yet it
was the same primary system that
ha5 nominated their Hayward and
their Ansel-the same men participant
ed in it-and t1e same primary sys-
TEN which had sent Senator Earle to
washington and Senator Smith to
Washington against former Governor
Evans.
Why did it become so thoroughly
corrupt all at once, and such an in
iquitous system? Was it simply be-
cause Blease had whipped the 'aris-
tocracy' and those who thought that
they owned the government, or was it

May Ride With Mail Carriers.

Road superintendent may ride with
rural mail carriers. This permission
has been granted in the January sup>
plement to the Postal Guide. 1t will
greatly facilitate the work Of the
superintendent andin some cases be .
distinct economy in saving horse and
aut0. hire.
The ruling follows: tPostmasters at
rural delivery Offices are instructed to
permit road supervisors or commission
ers having direct charge of the high
ways over which rural delivery routes
are in operation to ride over the route
with the rural carriers when such road
officials are actually engaged in the
performance of their duties in con-
nection with the inspection of the

The City Quarry Sold,

AT meeting of the city council held
Eon Monday evening, the city stone
quarry was sold to the Cresco Stone
and Concrete Company for $3.50. We
believe that the sale was the right
thing to do, as the price is satisfactory
and operation by the city is we be-
lieve impra:ticable. Moreover, the
quarry will eventually become source
Of danger and it is better for the city
that private parties stand responsible
for any damages which may result
from an open hole in the residence
part of town.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending April IL, 19l4.'
/ Des Moines, Iowa.
The winter of 1914 was the warm
est winter of record and was, with four
exceptions, the driest winter since 1890
The average temperature for the FIVE
months, November to March, inclusive,
was only O.4 degrees below the freez-
ing point, and there was less snowfall
than for any winter since statewide
observations began. March was warmer
and drier than usual. but owing to wet,
|inclement weather during the last de-
cade of the month and unusually cold
weather during the first II days of
April farm work has been delayed and
fruit buds are still dormant. Freezing
temperatures were general on -four or
i've mornings of the past week, and as
. result but little field work was done.
" hile the sub.soil is dry. the recent
rains and SHOWS have been sufficient to
tthorougly moisten the surface and the
ground is in good condition for blowing
I1nd seeding as soon as warmer weather
prevails. Fall sown grains and clovers
snfered but little damage from winter
Hlling, due to the fact that the tenn
perature was uniformly moderately
cool. There are, however, some fields
in the extreme southern counties that
appears to be spotted, and the Hessian
fly is reported to have caused to 10
per cent damage to the crop in Scott
county. but the conditions for the state
as whole is at least 5 per cent better
than it was on April l, 1918. and the
acreage is greater than it was last
year. Seeding of oats has but fairly
begun. The bulk of spring wheat seed
ing is done. But little has been done
in the way of gardening and only few
potatoes have been planted. Grass is
in good condition, but has barely start
to grow. Live stock came through the
winter in thrifty condition. The
spring crop is fairly :good considering
the great loss Of breeding stock last
season. The week closes clear and
warmer. Up to the present time the
prospects are favorable for bountiful
crop year. GEO. M. CHAPPELL.
