BIDS FOR AUTO PLATES.
Ten Firms Want Contracts For Fur.
niahino Iaaa For 1916.


Des Moines. July 14.-After hearing
arguments presented by representatives
of ten firms manufacturing automobile
plates. the state executive council yes
terday afternoon adjourned to 10
o'clock this morning. 1t will then let
the contract for 100000 pair of automo-
bile plates to be used in Iowa during
the three years. beginning Jan. 1, 1916.
Prices quoted to the council were
higher than last year for the reason
that more substantial plate will be
needed to last three years. The new
law provides that the new registration
shall be for a three year period.
Practically every variety of plate and
practically every color was exhibited
by agents. There is considerable rivalry
as the contract will run into big figures
this year. w. S. Allen, secretary Of
state. who has charge of the automo-
bile registration department has the
task of determining what color the
new plate will be. He favors dark
blue, but the manufacturers claim that
no combination Of blue can be made
which will stick on a plate. Therefore
the SECRETARY may decide on dark
brown. with light letter.
While the plates this year cost about
% cents a pair. the figures submitted

HARVEST WORK RETARDED.
Farmers Delayed by Cool Wet Weather
of Past Week.

pes Moines. July 14.-Another COOL
cloudy and wet week has greatly re-
tarded haying. harvesting and the cul-
tivation OF corn. and the wet weather
and winds resulted In considerable
damage to standing grain that Is ripe.
The average temperature was about
four degrees below the normal and the
rainfall was in excess Of the seasonal
average in nearly all parts OF the state.
The last three days. however. were
moderately warm and more favorable
for corn, which Is now making rapid
growth, altho still small and late Hay
ing and harvesting progressed In fav-
ored localities, but over much OF the
winter wilea: area the fields were too
wet and soft for working binders.
Farmers are now resorting to cradles
and gasolene- driven binders to save
one OF the largest wheat crops ever
produced in the state. Other small
grains are filling we'll, but there Is con-
siderable complaint OF rust In ana
lodging OF oats. Early potatoes are In
excellent condition.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE reports OF
the county auditors of the state au-
ditor on property for taxation confirm
the statistics obtained by the govern
ment to the effect that livestock Isl in
creasing in Iowa. While the numbers
and especially the values as reported
by the county auditors are consider
ably below those reported by the gov
eminent. nevertheless they show an in
crease as compared to the auditors
figures of last year.
Hogs show the biggest increase in
numbers, there being almost mil
lion more hogs in the state than year
ago. The assessors report 4,627,7ol
hogs on the farms of Iowa now, as

ing 1,279.525, valued at s100.77o,44S. this
year, as against 1,275,S29 head a year
ago, whose value as adjusted by the
council was $1O9,19e,292. 1t is probable
:
raised by the council this year as will
also be the case on other classes OF
livestock which fall below the adjusted
values of last year.
The number of all cattle reported to-
tails 3,Os3.s21, as against 2,904,S95 IN
1914, with this years actual value
placed at $95.110,94 and last years at
$91, 439.91s.
Decrease in Sheep Herds.
Sheep as reported by the assessors
total 5s1,570 this year as against 49,
S24 last year. They are valued this
year at s2,144,721 as against $2,s39,2S4
year ago.
The total value Of all livestock as re-
ported this year is s23s,45s.o57, whereas
the adjusted value for all livestock a
year ago was $242.703,5s6.
The Lee county report came in today
and with all of the counties in the av-
