Seasonable Average.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June 21.-The week was
unseasonably cool with a decided de-
ficiency of rainfall and an excess OF
cloudiness. The average daily tempera-
normal and the nights were especially
cool Tho the rainfall was below the
normal, showers were frequent, but not
sufficiently heavy TO interfere materi-
ally with farm work. The cultivation
of corn las rushed and in the south
eastern counties planting and replant-
ing was finished The fields are now
generally clean. but the crop is a week
TO ten days late.
Over a large part of the state the
second cultivation is nearing compile
ton. Small grain is generally in good
condition and doing we'll. but in some
localities oats are yellow, and rust is
reported in winter wheat in Marion
and Madison counties. Early oats and
barley are heading. First cutting of al
falfa secured in fine condition. except
in eastern counties where wet weather
did some damage. Potatoes and garden
truck still doing well. but good rain
and warmer weather is needed for corn
and truck, and rain would be highly
beneficial to pastures, meadows, small
grain and small and tree fruits. A fair
crop Of cherries is now being harvested.

Des Moines, June 21.--There were
2a.s13 more votes Cast in the special
election on woman's suffrage than
there was for all the candidates for
governor on all of the tickets in the
recent primary. In other words there
were So5,794 votes cast N the primary
and 335,707 votes cast in the special
election on woman's suffrage. These
figures are shown IN the return as
canvaSssd by the state executive COun-
Gil this week
Apparently about 10000 more people
voted on suffrage than on governor
The discrepancy is especially notice
able in the counties having heavy
democratic vote. II is evident that in
many counties democrats voted on
suffrage but did not vote on the state
ticket.
Il think this discrepancy can be ac-
counted for by the fact that many
democrats voted on suffrage and did
not vote or the state ticket" said John
Fletcher, assistant attorney general,
whose attention was called 70 these
figures. L know out in my home town
Of Avnca many democrats did that
very thing. They said the democratic
slate was all made up and they were
not particularly interested in il any
way. They We're interested in this

c. c. Nye. who as A newspaper man
and political worker, explained it in the
same way.
There were many counties in the
state in which there was a hot fight
between the republicans and democrats
in county elections in which the state
ticket did not figure at ALL" explained
Mr. Nye. MANY democrats voted on
the county issues and on suffrage but
did not vote the state ticket. They
didn't want TO vote against their party
nor did they want TO vote at the demo-
cratic primary. That is where this
discrepancy comes In"
The final vote on suffrage shows that

is quite an interesting affair in the

and some speculation as to its out

Through the requirements of law
and the general trend of affairs in
connection with the railroad commits
sion it became necessary for that body
to employ tariff expert and Mr.. Lit

much as there was no appropriation
to pay the salary Of this important
office. the emergency board set aside
$4,000 for his salary for two years.

fled State Auditor Jorgenson that he
should pay no more money to Mr..

General Linde for an opinion. Linde
told Jorgenson he thought Poole's
point we'll taken, but Jorgenson not
having asked the attorney general for
advice will proceed to pay Mr.. Little
untl Mr.. Poole or someone else serves
him with legal process to quit.
1t is understood that Poole will start
proceedings restraining payment for
Expert Little. The board Of railroad
commissioners claim there are cases
coming along which will require the
services Of an expert tariff man, and
that the appropriation for him, made
by the emergency board. is perfectly
legal.

In pursuance OF it's regular work
In the interest of pure food and goOu
sanitation the pure food committee of
the Civic league has in former years
conducted campaigns whose purpose
was to direct the attention of the
public to the work which can be done
and which. neads to be done for the
betterment of conditions. AS a part
of its regular campaign it began
some time ago the preparation of
plans for some publicity on the sub
ject of pure milk. 1t was desired to
illustrate the information supplied by
means Of slides such as are provided
and the committee was fortunate in
getting in touch with DR.. w. c.
Rucker, assistant surgeon general Of
thA United States, who is an old Grand
Forks man. and who took up the
work at once. DR.. Rucker, finding
that all the governments slides on
this subject were in use and promised

Il want to assure you that it has
always given me pleasure to assist In
work Of this nature. but In the pres
ent instance, as an old resident, It
was indeed an unusual pleasure to
be of service to people In the old

DR.. Rucker has come to be recog-
nized as Americas foremost authority
on certain phases of sanitation. He
is not only thoroughly familiar with
theoretical knowledge on the subject
but he has demonstrated such prac-
tical efficiency in applying his knowl-
edge that when 1t is necessary for the
government to take hand In con-
trolling a desperate situation. DIR.
Rucker is most likely to be placed in
charge of the job. He was the man
chosen to rid San Francisco Of the
menace of plague, and by the thor
oughness of his methods in extermi-
mating rats and other carriers Of dis
ease. he has cleaned up San Francisco,
Seattle. Milwaukee and several other
large cities. He has been called upon
for aid in flooded districts where dis
ease threatened to sweep away thou
sands, and Grand Forks may we'll be
proud of the fact that his youth was
spent in this city.
