Des Moines, Aug. 3-Women in towns

girls from coming to Des Moines in a
Whitley of Webster City, chairman of
the women's committee on national de-
tense, and other members of this COM
mittee. Some of the girls have had trag-
ic experiences already, this letter de-
clares.
"One of the greatest difficulties at
drifting into Des MONIES with no more
idea before leaving tier home towns
as to where they are to go or what they
are to do after teaching the city" states
the letter.
after making investigation it has
ben learned that there is not an UNI
usual demand for women employees
either in stores or offices. There might
be possible positions in homes where
general house work could be secured.
IN other words it is not safe for
young Wome> to come to Des Moines
alone in search of work unless they
have written in advance to the secre-
tary of the Young Womens Christian
Association or to the city chairman 81
the Women's committee for national de-
Tense, or have secured position
thru some reliable employment bureau
1T is our desire in Des Moines to
have the women in the towns turnout
the state discourage the girls from COM
ing and plead with them to remain at
home with their families and friends.
Some girls have had tragic experiences
already and the slamor OF the great
cantonment in our state may lure 9TH
ers to walk innocently and ignorantly
into danger.
eve wish to urge each county chair
man to appoint committee on social
welfare work and to keep a record or
list of all young women who might be
tempted or might be considering leav-
ing home. And such committee could
CO. operate with our Des Moines COM
mittee and thereby save an endless
amount of sorrow and suffering"

lows: Mrs. Francis Whitley, Webster

RECORD YIELDS.
DRY WEATHER MAKES NO
PERcEPrIsLE lNRoADs
More Uniform Crop Of Oats Never
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Apparently Suffi-
oisnt TO Keep Things Growing In.
Observation-Disclosures Dollar Loads Of
Old Corn Not lnfrequent.

Des Moines Aug. 3-Upon his return
to Des Moines after an automobile trip
covering fifteen counties in central and
northwestern Iowa, J. w. Jarnagin, edi-
tor 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. ut is tasseling out
in splendid form: an occasional piece
is in silk. There is plenty Of moisture
in the ground for all immediate pur-
poses and good rain at filling time
will insure a record breaking yield.
The dry weather has made no percep-
tible inroads upon growing crops ak
cept in gardens and potato patches;
these have been injured by the ex-
tremely hot weather and absence Of
moisture / never saw more uniform
crop Of oats and it is about all har-
vested. 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
unusually large oat yield. Spring wheat
and barley are unusually good. l saw a
20 acre field of Marquis wheat in Buena
Vista county that good judges declared
would make 25 or 80 bushels to the acre.
Corn at 500 Per Load.
THE amount of old corn still in the
hands of the farmers was a surprise to
me. I saw numerous wagon loads on
the way to market and the owners are
receiving $40 per bushel for yellow
corn and five cents more per bushel
for white varieties. It is nothing I'M
usual for farmer to take home with
him 500 for single load Of corn.
"That there is moisture enough 10
keep things growing is evidenced By
the abundance Of green grass along
the highways. The second crop Of clo-
yer is coming on nicely and no fires
have occurred along railways as is the
case of extremely dry weather. The
streams have an abundah of water
and farmers make no complaint about
scarcity Of water for stock.
"The absence Of rain and an abund-
ance of sunshine made the weather
ideal for haying and harvesting.
Threshing will begin the last Of the
week On the whole it looks to me>ltke
a wonderful crop year"
