CENTRAL AND NORTH
WEST IOWA CROPS
After Making Trip Through Fifteen
Counties, Editor Says Out.
look Is Reassuring.

Upon his return to Des Moines af-
ter an automobile trip covering fif-
teen counties in central and north
western Iowa, ]. w. Jarnagin, ed
|itor of the Iowa Farmer, is convinced
that this is to be the greatest corn
year in the history of the state.
"The warm weather the past ten
days has done wonders for the corn, +"
said Mr.. Jarnagin. 1T is tasseling
out in splendid form; an occasional
piece is in silk. There is plenty of
moisture in the ground for all i'm
mediate purposes, and good rain
lat filling time will insure record
breaking yield. The dry weather has
made no perceptible inroads upon the
growing crops except in gardens
and potato patches; these have been
injured by the extremely hot wealth
Ter and absence of moisture. I never
saw a more uniform crop of oats and
1T is about all harvested. The grain
is plump and bright and the straw is
free from rust. In some localities
the straw was little short, but on
the whole Iowa will have an unusu-
ally large yield. Spring wheat and
barley are unusually good. l saw a
2O-acre field Of Marquis wheat in
Buena Vista county that good judges
declared would make 25 or 80 BUSH
els to the acre.
"The amount of old corn still in
the hands of the farmers was sur
prise to me. saw numerous wag-
on loads on the way to market, and
ther owners are receiving $2.1O per
bushel for yellow corn and cents
more per bushel for white varieties.
1t is nothing unusual for farmer
to take home with him 500 for a
single load of corn.
THAT there is moisture enough to
keep things growing is evidenced by
the abundance of green grass along
the highways. The second crop of
clover is coming on nicely, and no
fire shave occurred along railways,
as is the case of extremely dry
weather. The streams have an
of water, and farmers
make no complaint about scarcity
of water for stock.

". c. TENNIS CLUB TO
PUT ON JOURNEYS
Tennis Season Enjoyed by Many
Lady Players Invited to

The Webster City Tennis club,
composed of large number Of young
men, expect to put on a city tour
nament in a week or two. The ex-
act date for it has not been definite
ly decided. This tourney will be
open to all tennis players in the city

affair.
On Labor day, Sept. 8, the club
will put on their fourth annual ten

verne, Ames, Fort Dodge, Eagle
Grove, Ackley and any Hamilton

now are looking after their duties.
Each of the patrolmen have jurisdic-
tion over about fifteen miles of
roadway.
This is what Hamilton county
and every other county in the state
ought to do. Iowa has expended in
the past two years millions of dol
lars upon her public highways and
will expend many more millions in
the immediate future. These roads
should be looked after, and compe-
tent patrolmen will save to the tax
payers many dollars. It is their duty
to see that the roads are kept in
good condition, look after washouts,
remove obstructions, fill ruts, inspect
bridges, etc. Repairs at the proper
time will save much expense and
will keep the roads in good shape.

LAD Of SEVEN LOST;
GONE ALL NIGHT
{, ., ..
Little Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Winans Disappears From Home
For Eighteen Hours.

Anxiety, caused by the disappear
ance Of little boy of z, was felt
keenly Friday night by the neighbors
OF the Walter Winans family, who
reside at 919 First street, and the
family themselves were in state
Of great worry all night.
The child, bright youngster with
great imaginative powers, combined
with a good deal Of surplus energy,
has lately almost imagined he was
a butterfly, having been out among
these beautiful, feathery-winged
flying insects. so much. Like most
little boys he is looking for speci-
mems and goes tripping over lawn
and field, butterfly-net in hand, fol-
lowing first one of these insects and
then another. This time he "trip
ped" too far. Wallace, the child in
question, and his brother, Worth, a
year his senior, starteds out Fri
day morning on search for butter
flies. At about noon they returned
home and the older little fellow de-
cided he wouldn't 60 again because
he didn't feel well. Wallace, though,
was eager to continue the search.
At 6 o'clock the lad did not appear
for dinner. His parents were an
noyed by his absence, and as it be-
came dark, their anxiety increased.
A searching party secured the west
end of the city all evening, and as
the hours neared midnight, the fran
tic parents called for the help of the
authorities. They, together with the
father of the lost boy, continued the
search all through the night. Dawn
came, and with it the men were COM
PEELED to face the anxious mother
with no report from her baby. And
then-when only the black, ugly
waters of the river were left un-
searched smiling, whistling lad
was seen coming down the street
happy and carefree as only a child
can be!
The little fellow explained that he
had been hunting butterflies and
had lost his way. Then, It is pre-

GAS TANK EXPL0DES
At W|LKE GARAGE
Antoine Adams, a Workman, Injured
When Soldering Leak in
Gasoline Tank.

A loud explosion at the Wilke
garage on Ceneca street yester-
day caused deal of excitement in
that vicinity. Antoine Adams, a
workman, was soldering a leak in a
gasoline tank and the heat from his
soldering iron must have ignited
some gasoline In the tank, although
it was supposed the gasoline had
all been washed out of the reservoir
before work was started on it. Mr..
Adams was hit on the right arm in
the explosion and physician sum-
moned at once to determine the ex-
tent of his injuries. No bones or
ligaments were broken or torn, but
the arm pains Mr.. Adams because of
being badly burned and bruised. The
accident will incapacitate Mr.. Adams
for several days.

they are serving only as volunteers.
This is the first time that any Ger

men Of the 1919 class were on the
battle front.
The whole trend of the statements
made by these captive officers is
that they are beginning to fear they
may lose the war. More depressing
than anything else is the fear that
there may be, another winter cam
