Pspys, View Of Baths.

Pepys' view Of probably rep
resentative of his generation-may be
gathered from contemptuous refer.
ence to his wife's whimsical notion,
after spring cleaning. of going to a hot
bath in town to "cleane herself" How
ever. he reflected consolingly, the new
passion for cleanliness was not likely
to last. The idea of Pepys' French con-
temporaries on the same subject Is
illustrated in little book on Christian
conduct, by Jean Baptiste de la Sale
"F6r the sake of cleanliness" says the
author. lit is well to rub the face every
morning with white towel, in order
to remove the dirt. 1t is not advisable
to wash with water, for this exposes
the face to the chills Of winter and the
leafs Of summer"

will Maintain Sailing Station.

Mr.. Heerlein of the Sterling Pickle
Works, St. Joseph, Mo-, was in La
moni Monday afternoon making ar
for the sailing station.
He has employed Mr.. Robert Nc
Leese to take charge of the station
here and buy the cucumbers.
He says the prospects are for a
wet year and they are looking for a
big yield. Many growers are pre-
pairing to plant cucumbers about
May LIST so as to double their yield,
as the early plants here seem to
yield faster than the cucumbers can
be picked.
Mr.. Heerlein says they bought a
car load of cucumbers here last sum-
mer in spite of the dry weather and
the fact that the cucumbers were not
planted until very late.
Mr.. Heerlein made arrangements
SO that growers can bring their con-
tracts to this Office. He also left in
structions as to methods of driving
away plant lice and the striped bug.

japanese hotel bedroom, which still
leaves much to be desired in comfort
and privacy: Before dinner is over

ask to be taken to your bedroom, but
your bedroom Is taken to you. It's
" ais and the bed are brought In. The
walls are paper shutters which make
a slice Of the sitting room your own;
the bed is quilt, Take up your bed
and walk is an everyday occurrence in
the east, where bed is spread. The
only way a European can get any com
fort out of Japanese bed Is to sleep
OH about half dozen at once. one on
top of the other. II you want to wash

To Supply Weekly Weather Forecast
For Farmers and Shippers.

Washington, D. c., April 2O.-A
new weekly weather forecast design
ed especially to aid farmers in plan
ming their farm operations and ship
pers of perishable products to handle
their goods with reference to expect
ed weather conditions, will be inaug-
urated by the United States Weather
Bureau on April 20, and continued
during the crop season. In order to
have these weekly forecasts reach
the farmers and shippers in small
towns with the least possible delay,
the bureau also has arranged a sys-
TEN whereby the forecast will be TAX
en- Tuesday and reach the weekly
newspapers, especially in the corn,
wheat and cotton districts, by mail
on Wednesday morning-which will
be in time for the greatest number of
them to use the information in their
editions. In this way it is believed
that the forecast for the week COM
mencing Wednesday morning will
be in the hands of most of the farm
ers and shippers in the small towns,
through the medium of the weekly
newspapers, Wednesday n i 6 h t :,
Thursday or Friday-thus giving
them the benefit of,from to days
of advance forecast.
The forecasts will be prepared at
Washington on Tuesday morning and
will cover the week commencing
Wednesday. They will be telegraph
ed to the state distributing centers
of the weather bureau where they
will be Immediately printed and put
in the mails to reach the weekly
newspapers in the territory of each
station early Wednesday, or in time
for insertion by the vast majority of
them. It is expected that these fore
casts will be ready for mailing from
the distributing centers by or p.
m. each Tuesday.

Weather Bulletin.

For the week ending April 26, 1915.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Ideal conditions continued during
the week for farm operations and
growth of vegetation. Rapid progress
was made in preparing ground for
corn planting and considerable plant
ing was done in the southern part of
the state. Grass and small grains
made good growth under the effects
of high temperatures and light
showers, but a good, soaking rain is
needed to insure bountiful harvest.
All fruit trees, except peaches, show
an abundance of bloom. Live stock
is in pasture in the southern and CEN
trail counties.

Wheat Crop Melted Him $3.50 Per
, Acre.

M. G. Freestone, of near Decatur
City, was visitor in Leon last Sat
urday, and told us he had just finish
ed the previous day marketing his
last years wheat crop, selling it for
$1.35 per bushel. Mr.. Freestone
figured up what returns his 1914
wheat crop paid him and found that
lit brought $4,000 per acre. This
wheat was raised on Decatur county
land which he bought five years ago
at $50 per acre, but it is worth con-
siderable more now. Mr.. Freestone
came to Decatur county from north
ern Iowa where farm land was sell
ing for 5000 an acre, but he tells sus
he can raise more crops on his De-
catur county land than he could on
the 5000 land Mark our prediction,
that it will not be long until Decatur
county land will be bringing around
5000 an acre. Mr.. Freestone has a
big acreage of wheat in this year and
it is looking fine.

only state in the union to show a
loss. In thirty towns already report
ed, the gain is Is per cent 1t is
expected that Des Moines will show
at least 100000 population, as
against 86,36S by the federal census,
and it may 60 as high as 100000.

AN INTERESTING PRoPHECY.
Translated for the Hawk-Eye by Rev
= Karl Scheib, Pastor of the
st. Lucas Church.

- ~ i
In library in Hohenlohe, Ger
many, an old manuscript was recent
ly discovered which was dated in the
year 1901, and which contained. a
remarkable prophecy. This docu-
ment was published in the Fried
ensbote," the official organ of the
German Evangelical Synod of North
America, and was translated for the
Hawk-Eye by Rev. kary Scheib, pas
| tor of the St. Lucas church, as fol-
lows:
Europe will be visited by frightful
Establishments at time. when the
holy see in Rome for short while
will be empty. One people will fight
against the other, one kingdom will
be against the other. A monarch
comes from the center, this is the
German emperor. Against this mon
arch wall of enemies will come
from all sides with intent to destroy
him by wickedness and hatred. When
the villainy of the enemies has gone
into the extreme the Almighty God
shows his hand leading him from vic
tory to victory. The motto of the en-
error is: Onward with God!' He
wears cross on his breast.
There is foreseen struggle in the
front of Westphalia; if this should
take place only small heap of Ger
many will remain. Presumably,
lrewever, this numbering will not oc-
cur, for the people will in time re-
pent and return to religion. No doubt
! the Nether-Rhine will tremble, shake
and wall, but will not perish and re-
main in existence splendidly to the
, end of time.
The war that is going to break out
will be called a terrible war, and
there is no dominion which will not
more or less be drawn into it. But
the strong monarch from the center
will understand to carry on the war
skillfully so that no power of the
enemy can resist him. With great
strength he will abolish obsolete
nuisances, dirty dances and luxur-
ious dresses but he will establish the
order of God everywhere in the state,
the church and the family, and will
bring peace to the nations.
In the vicinity of village stands
crucifix; there the emperor will
kneel down with outstretched hands
before the decisive battle. Woe to
Lemberg and Soldau at the river,
which runs from east to west. The
strong commander-in-chief will come
out VIGOROUSLY with the bearded
peoples of the Pleiades and will
make an address in front of the
chapel Schaffhausen.
France will be nothing but pic
ture of desolatiOn. England with her
king will be beaten and will come to
the lowest state of human misery.
This devastating war will bring
about very great mortality; a great
land will be afflicted with pestilence
and famine. The Turks, however,
will be dear brethren of the strong
monarch. AS soon as England is
beaten peace will return. An inn
mense change in the states and re-
vival of the church will take place.
After the war only three great pow
ers exist, the pope, Austria and Ger
may; this will grow into noble man
ners. The cause of the war is the
murder of prince; many murders
and slaughters will follow that. The
war will break out at the time OF
the harvest; a better will come at
the time of the cherry blossoms.

ARTHUR LEWIS WINS MEDAL.
offered by U. ID. C's. For Best Essay
on Causes Leading to War.

Arthus Lewis, the bright young
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Lewis, is
being heartily congratulated on the
honor that has come to him in being
the successful contestant for the
medal offered by the local chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy for the
best paper on the subject, The
Causes Leading Up to the War Be
tween the States" Thirty-one pa
pers were submitted, many of them
showing careful thought and prepa-
ration which reflected much credit
on our boys and girls, but the COM
mittee had no trouble in making a
decision, young Mr.. Lewis scoring so
many points of excellence as to make
him an easy winner. The young man
has always been studious and of such
character as to win the esteem of
the community. His success is very
gratifying to his large circle of
friends. The medal will probably
be awarded Memorial Day. The
Daughters of the Confederacy deeply
appreciate the response to their re-
quest and wish to express sincere
thanks to each contestant. NJ. c. H.
