Weekly Bulletin.

For the week ending Sept. 20, 1915.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The average temperature for the
week was slightly below the normal,
due to prevailing low readings on the
last day, which caused frost in many
localities on the morning of the 21st.
Showers were frequent, and in many
sections heavy to excessive, making
unfavorable conditions for rapid rip
ening of corn. The crop is very
backward, and not more than 20 per
cent of it is dented and not more than
per cent is safe from injury by
killing frost. The frequent showers
also delayed threshing and in some
sections plowing and seeding. The
harvesting of very heavy crop OF
grapes is nearing completion in the
western counties, and many apples
have been picked. Pastures continue
in excellent condition, but reports OF
potatoes rotting in the ground are
still being received.

Trim Your Trees.

We would respectfully suggest to
the city authorities that they inaugu-
rate a tree trimming campaign in
Leon. On many of the streets the
limbs of the trees hang down so low
that they strike persons who are
passing along on the sidewalk, and
during a rain in places it is impos-
sible to carry an umbrella. Steps
should be taken at once to see that
all trees overhanging the sidewalks
are trimmed up to proper heighth.

Government Ships Would be Dangerous
in Wartime and Costly in Time of Peace
ZION the WashIngton Post.l

The minority report on the govern
ment ship purchase Oill is well worthy
of serious consideration by the admin
istration. Al this juncture. when com
plications with Great Britain regard
ing the treatment of neutral cargoes
remain to be settled. it is prudent
that the United States should very
carefully investigate conditions before
it commits itself to the plan Of pur-
chasing foreign ships to be owned and
operated by the government, or under
its auspices.
There is no shortage Of ocean yes-
sells. Very few OF them have been de-
stroyed There are many tied up.
particularly those under the German
flag; but If the United States govern
ment should purchase German ships
and attempt to operate them It would
find itself in hot water Immediately.
International law presumes that
transfers of flag during hostlities are
not made in good faith. but are mere
ly a snbterfuge to relieve vessels of a
belligerent from the consequences Of
war. OF course, the United States
would not be a party TO fraudulent or
colorado transfers Of ownership. The
transfer would be genuine; but new
ertheless Great Britain would raise
objections to any plan that would re-
lease the German vessels. These ves-
