RAINS DID MUCH Good
Crops Benefited and Ground is in
Splendid Condition.

The weekly bulletin of the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service for the
week ending August Is, says:
The long, continued hot, dry spell
was broken on the 10th by a cool
wave and fairly we'll distributed show
ers. Showers have been more frequent
and better distributed and much more
rain has fallen over the southern
counties, where it vas needed the
most, than in the northern half Of
the state. The rains in southern sec
tions, were of great benefit to late
corn, pastures, meadows, potatoes,
gardens and fruit and have put the
lground in fine condition for fall plow-
ing which has begun. The rains came
too late, however, to fully repair the
damage done to early corn by drought
land High temperatures. Many bar
rem stalks appear and pollination was
defective. In the northern counties
where copious showers occurred dur
ing the previous week is in generally
good condition, but more rain would
be beneficial to corn and is needed for
pasture, potatoes and blowing. Thresh-
ing continued with satisfactory re-
suits. The seed onion crop in Scott
county is turning out better than was
Expected and yields ranging from $50
to 300 bushels per acre are reported.
A summary Of reports received by
the. secretary of the state horticultural
Society on August LIST shows the con
|dition of fruit to be as follows: Sum
mer apples, 80 per cent; fall apples,
1873; winter apples, 40; pears, IS;
American plums, 81: domestic plums,
%; grapes, SO per cent of a full crop.
The average for all fruit is 81. per
cent, or 10 per cent below the average
for the last fifteen years for August.
The grape crop is light in eastern
Iowa, but nearly normal in the west
ern section; the quality will be better
than last year. The apple crop will be
about one half of what it was last
year.

nor the crawl permitted us to gain al
possible propulsion from the legs
While therefore it would be extremely
rash to assert that the composite scis,
sors thrash could not be improved upon
yet the fact that it eliminates almost
entirely the negative movements Of re
siStance and ais has more driving
power shows unquestionably that we
have at least drawn step nearer the
goal Of all students Of natation-the
finding of the perfect stroke.
In swimming the single type of
trudgeon-crawl the body should roll
sensibly on the under shoulder as the
top arm drives, for if one travels ON an
even keel the working lower leg rises
out of water in opening and portion
Of its drive is made through thin air
and totally wasted. For the same rea-
son it is essential to roll rather heavily
from side to side in using the double
type, that both scissors may be per-
formed completely beneath the surface,
n The roll, however, is not necessary in
sprinting, as will be explained.
Let it first be understood, though,
that the WIDTH of the scissors and both
tie width and speed. of the following
thrash are determined by the distance
to be covered, naturally taking into
consideration, besides, the resources of
each individual.
Indeed, the combination stroke be-
comes practically pure crawl when
used for sprinting, since the scissors
are then made so narrow that they
barely outspan the accompanying
thrash, merging with it completely and
only being distinguishable by a forcl-
BILE accenting of the rhythm. Evident
ly there is no need here to roll beyond
the point of securing a clean recovery
for the arms.

A s the name indicates, this most
"a modern of swimming strokes
"A is combination of the trudg-
con and crawl, with the identi
cal arm movements of both and a leg
drive featuring the characteristics of
each.
Two forms of it are now in use-the
single and the double. In the single
the swimmer performs one narrow,
horizontal scissors kick at the end of
the top arm drive, like in the trudgeon.
then rolls face down and whips the
feet alternately and vertically, as in
the true crawl. In the double two
scissors are introduced. one at the COM
pletion of each arm drive, with a slight
crawl thrash between.
The trudgeon-crawl was originated
in this country, and several men have
claimed its invention, but there can
be no doubt that Frank Sullivan of
Chicago, now instructor of swimming
at Princeton university, deserves full
credit for bringing it into prominence.
Possibly others may have thought
before he did of combining the two
strokes, yet even this seems unlikely,
for at the time he publicly outlined the
evolved theory in 1905 the crawl was
just beginning to be known here, and
few had given 1t attention.
At all events it is quite certain that
Sullivan was the first to undertake
practical experiments and prove the
efficiency of the new stroke.
Early in 1906, if memory serves. he
induced four boys who could not swim
at all to take it up under his super
vision, and in less than two seasons
they were making their mark in the
competitive field. One Of them, Leslie

longer than 100 yards, however, the
scissors are widened gradually with the
increasing distance, and the roll must
be emphasized accordingly. The lead
ing authorities claim that best results
are obtained by never letting the heels
separate farther than the shoulder
lines, as a larger opening causes re-
sistance to the water which offsets
the slight advantage gained from the
stronger sweep of the legs. But this
point is debatable. George Hodgson
of Canada, the Olympic 400 and 1000
meter record holder, uses and advo-
Gates a spread of about thirty inches.
The thrash between scissors is also
adjusted to the pace being held, but In
inverse ratio. That is, the drives are
fast, energetic and comparatively wide
in sprinting, slower, less vigorous and
narrower as the journey increases In
length, until they become no more than
gentle fiutter. This is the general
rule, Of course, subject always to the
laws of personality. 1t is for every
man or his coach to ascertain just
how much energy he can devote to the
leg drive. @
One is frequently asked by young
swimmers how many strokes should
be taken per minute, and the question
is unanswerable for the obvious rea
son that the number varies materially
with the individual and with the dis
lance in sight. However, the worlds
greatest miller, Hatfield, tells us tina,
he completes each full cycle Of move
pents in about two seconds wher
swimming farther than half a mile
and this may convey to the new re
cruit an idea of the wanted timing.
And now, before closing, let me SAY
that the prevalent belief that in al
varieties of crawl 1t is advisable Il
I breathe at every second. third or fourti
stroke Is correct.

The brilliant success of the latter

widespread popularity enjoyed at pres.
ent by the stroke that made them ia,
nous, yet it is not difficult to be con.
WINGED of its actual superiority If one
gives 1t some study.
Easy to realize-for instance, in com.
pairing it with the trudgeon-that the
thrash added between scissors kicks
must perforce make for greater speed
equally clear in weighing it against
the crawl that the use o; one or two
scissors Increases the propelling power
for the wider and more vigorous move
ments cannot but impart more momen
tum than the smaller drives of the con
tinuous thrash. ga
II might be claimed that the amount
Of energy expended Is out of proper
ton to the resulting benefit, but suct
is not the case. Once an object is SCI
in motion it requires very little power
to keep it moving at the pace attained
and even a mere flutter of the feet Il
sufficient to maintain the speed fur
nished by the scissors kick in swim
ming.
Thus one of the chief advantages o.
the stroke is that it enables its devo
tees to utilize more effectively thei
legs than any Of its predecessors. I

CURE EVERY CASE
OF PILES TREATED

Drs. Kinsey & Allgover occupy a
unique position in the medical world;
they hold the record of having cured
every case of piles treated. OF course
these doctors who give their whole
time to the one speciality are experts
in their line and are expected TO make
many cures even where others have
failed, but a record Of 100 per cen,
cures and no failures is surely one to
be proud of These doctors guarantee
a cure in every case of piles treated
or refund all money paid by patient.
AS yet they have never been called on
to refund any money, every patient be-
ing quickly cured and completely sat

Here is one of the many letters re-
ceived from cured patients:
