State Convention Of Supervisors Pass
Resolutions.

At the state convention OF mem
bers of the boards of supervisors
held at Des Moines last week, they
had lively session, passing resolu-
tons which oppose any agitation for
hard surface roads in Iowa, approved
the workings OF the new road law,
and made other recommendations
for changes in laws.
The resolutions in full as they
were passed by the conventiontion
follows:
"Resolved, that we extend our ap-
probation to the city of Des Moines
and the board of supervisors of Polk
county for the generous entertain
,ment furnished and cooperation dur
ing our convention.
THAT we approve the general
working features of the new road
law, particularly those providing for
a uniform system of highways and
for a uniform standard of bridge and
road construction.
THAT we recommend that the
Thirty seventh general assembly en-
act laws compelling the railroad
companies to remove banks and OBJ
structions within their right of ways
which obstruct the view at public
crossings and endanger the safety OF
the travelling public.
"That we absolutely oppose any
agitation leading up to hard surfac-
| ed roads to be made OF concrete,
brick or asphalt at this time.
"" THAT as the report of the Iowa
state highway commission for the
year 1914 shows the expenditures to
have been excessive that they be
called on to reduce their expendi-
lures to an amount not to exceed
$40, 000 per year.
"That the law enacted in regard
to widows pensions be modified or
repealed and the matter of relief be
left in the hands of boards of super
visors or overseers of the poor in the
state of Iowa. %:
eve recommend that the law be
changed in regard to people receiv-
ling assistance from the county poor
fund have. first lien on all property
real or personal left by the death Of
the beneficiary.
"That the law relating to commits
sioners OF bitches be amended SO as
not to bar parties who have been in
terested in such improvements where
the work has been completed, from
serving on such commission.
"Inasmuch as tubercular patients
not being cared for by the counties
are not isolated, we see no good rea-
son why the counties should be re-
quired to build special hospitals for
the purpose Of isolating their tuber-
cular patients which fall to their
care. ...
''That we condemn the practice of
appointing public officials, state or
county, and we recommend that all
such be elected by direct vote of
the people

racing is frequently referred to az

Save Money Now.

There are two good reasons why
everybody should exert himself to
save little more money now than
commonly. A purely selfish reason
is that saving now counts more than
saving during ordinary times. A dol
lar saved now will yield larger re-
turns than a dollar saved two or
three years ago, and more probably
than a dollar saved two or three
years in the future Money saved
now can be invested with as much
safety as is humanity achievable so as
to bring in per cent or more. A
few years ago savings invested in Sc
curities OF similar strength would
yield only 3 per cent. When the
war is over the world is going to be
relatively rich Those who save now
will possess the world later on. An
other reason for saving now is that
it is the best thing a noncomsatant
can do to help the world from the
fate that is being brought, upon it by
the war. Accumulated savings are
the basis of civilization. Out of &C
cumulated savings hospitals are
founded, railroads are built, and
new discoveries in science are made
possible. The accumulated savings
of the world, in so far as they exist
in Europe, are being destroyed as
fast as possible. BY this destruction
the world will be set back inevitably.
Any American living outside the zone
of general destruction, who saves
money now will help by so much to
counterfeit this setback of civiliza-

Mystery of the Rain.

Professor e., C. Pickering of Har-
ward, referring to the present ma
tiOn-wide discussion Of the rainy sea-
son, unequaled since 1882 and 1892,
says the popular idea that the excess
sive rainfall is due to the war in
Europe is erroneous. "That theory
he says, lis nearly as old as the ages
and it has been disproved many
times. The war in Europe has moth
ing to do with the present abnormal
rainfall, whatever the cause may be. ="
The popular theory is that the ar
tillery and gunfire of the great arm
les liberates great quantities of
dust and gases which rise to the up
per regions and induce precipitation
CT vapor clouds. In the year of the
destruction of Martinique by the ex-
plosion Of Mount Pelee this theory
was advanced to account for the
great rainfall and sudden nightfalls
and found some credence among men
OF science as we'll as many scoffers.
In 1882 the wet season was blamed
by popular consent to the gases and
dust of the great forest fires of the
previous autumn, one of which de-
vastated large district in Michigan.
Professor Pickering, it will be not
ed, does not offer scientific theory
to account for the precipitation. He
simply remarks, whatever the
cause may be-" an admission that he
has no theory. Professor A. G. Nc
Adie of Boston, the other day, said:
eff you will tell me what has caused
the rain to come almost continuous
ly from the east, southeast or south,
then l will tell what has caused the
heavy rainfall. But it will be many
years before that question will be
answered, for the field of metaoro-
logical research has as yet failed to
touch it, From which it definitely
appears that to the scientific mind
tho cause of the wet season is as
mach mystery as the worlds war
fever is to everybody. There may be
as Able Moerau, of France, some
time ago int1mated, connection be-
tween atmospheric and war fever
conditions. Perhaps future scientists
may define it. The fantastic idea of
g Conan Doyle novel of two or three
years ago about a world passing
through belt of maddening vapor
llay find scientific parallel-one
may not be dogmatic on a matter of
this kind.

For the week ending Aug. 23, 1915
.-e Des Moines,> Iowa.
Another week of fairly favorable
weather has aided the progress of
farm work and the growth of corn.
The temperature was, however, con-
siderably below the normal, and sew
eral nights were very cold. A trace
of frost was observed on the morn
ing of the goth in Audubon and
Crawford counties. This is the
fourteenth consecutive week that has
given an average temperature near
or below the normal. For the state,
as a whole, the week was compare
lively dry, but copious to heavy local
showers occurred in many localities,
which interfered with farm work for
day or two. Stacking is nearing
completion, and shock threshing is
progressing rapidly as the weather
will permit. Threshing reports con-
tinue to show good yields of small
grain generally, but the quality is
mostly poor, and the yield of timothy
seed is below the normal. Consider
ing the cool weather, corn is doing
as we'll as could be expected, and
some of the earliest planted is in the
roasting ear stage, but much of the
late planted is not yet in the tassel.
The third crop of alfalfa and the
second crop of clover is ready to be
cut, and both are heavy. Potatoes,
garden truck, fruit and pastures
continue in good condition. The soil
is in good condition, but no fall
blowing has been done on account
of other work being moro urgent

Profit in Sheep.

Frank Bright, one of the thrifty
young farmers of Morgan township,
states that from twenty ewes he had
on his farm this season he sold wool
to the amount of $6S.2O and Satur-
day morning delivered the spring
lambs from his flock to shippers in
town which brought him $139. The
total of $2O7.20 returns from twenty
ewes in one season is not bad, but j.
A. Kinds, of the same neighborhood,
with flock of about forty ewes,
more than doubled the returns on
Bright's flock of twenty, as many
of the latter's lambs were earlier
and consequently heavier when sold,

figures. Tribune.

PACE FOUR
MURDER OF A. H. KAYsER
Belief That Member Of Late Pastors
Church Was Responsible

Gary, Ind, Sept. 20 = After 1ou1
weeks of investigation into the murd-
er of the Rev. Edmund A. Fl. kaysef'
slain at his home: in Tollestons lnd'
those working on the case believe
there. is but one plausible theory as
to the identity of the man or men VINO
killed MIN.
It is that the murderer or murder
ers and the person or persons respoh-
sible for sending threatening letters
to Mr.Kayser before the murder are
one and the same.
Since the night Of August ~ tne
police, government agents and frenos
of the murdered pastor have been con-
Quoting three separate Investigations
into the case.
For several days it has been Their
belief that whoever wrote the anony-
maous letters called at the Kayser
home on the night of the murder TO
demand their return, in the fear that
the pastor would prosecute those re-
sponsible if he learned their identity.
Strengthening this theory is the
fact that Chief of Police Heintz has
received two letters threatening his
l;fe both written in German and in
the same handwriting as the mlssives
sent Mr.. Kayser.
Mrs. Kayser, it was stated by Cor
oner r. W. Smith, said recently that
she thought members Of the church
committed the murder.
Every one seems agreed that the
murderer of murderers did not go to
Kayser's home with the deliberate m
tention of killing the pastor.
