Crop and weather Bulletin.

For the week ending July 25, 1917.
This has been the most favorable
week of the season for rapid growth
of nd ita afzEestiiHg hay and small
grain. The temperature was nearly
deficient, yet there were copious to
heavy local showers in many locali-
tiles, which gave sufficient moisture
for present needs in those sections
Corn made very rapid growth. The
earliest fields are showing tassels IN
all parts of the state and the late
replanted fields are being laid by. In
the southern and central districts
most of the early oats Is in shock and
the harvest has begun in the north
ern counties. Late oats and spring
southern part of the state, and will
begin in the central section during
the coming week. The conditions
have been exceptionally favorable for
small grain; the rather cool nights
checking ripening and causing the
heads to fill well. All small grain
will be up to or above the average
in quality and yield but the small
acreage Of winter wheat will reduce
the output of that crop. Rain is need
ed in most districts for corn, pota-
toes and pastures, and is urgently
needed in some sections, but no ser
ious damage has yet been done. The
apple crop is much better in the
southwestern counties than in other
parts of the state. The indications
are favorable for 80 ITO to 80 per cent
harvest will begin in the southwest
ern counties during the coming week.
Grapes in Pottawattamie county
promise 80 to SO per cent OF nor
NAL crop.

DlNlMEI, LAW BADLY MUDDLED.
Assistant Attorney General Says No
Lawyer Can Say just What
Measure Means.

The Mcfarland automobile DINNER
law, passed by the last generaI as.
sembly is so badly mixed up that mo
lawyer could say with certainty what
construction may finally be placed
upon it by the courts, according to
Assistant Attorney General C.: A.
Robbins.
In amending the law the legislature
left out the word not in specifying
the distance which the light could be
thrown.
In an official ruling on the law
made to Secretary of State Allen, the
assistant attorney general, among
other things, says: ~
cit is evident that when the legis-
lature adopted the substitute shown
on page 1853 of the house journal 1T
was it's intention to require all Of the
directly reflected beams of the light
to be depressed below the said forty
dent that by the amendment thereaf-i
ter adopted the language expressing
said intent was stricken out and the
language indicating an intent to re-
.quire the light to be raised above
such forty-two inch line.
"This leaves the construction OF
the statute in such doubt as that no
lawyer could say with certainty what
construction may finally be placed
upon it by the courts and until the
statute is construed by the court, the
only safe thing for auto owners to do
is to equip their cars with some tense
or other diffusing appliance which
will prevent under all circumstances
the use of the directly DETECTED rays
of light over four candle power"

Quotas Have Been Announced.

Iowa will furnish 12,749 men for.
the national army to fight Germany,
in addition to the 1862 men in the
national guard and regular army.
Adjutant General Guy E.. Logan,
by direction of Governor w. L. Hard
ing, has prepared the sheets distr1-
buting the quotas of drafted men to
the various counties and seven cities,
using the recent state census as a
basis instead of the estimate OF pop
ulation furnished by the war depart
ment, which is based upon the regis
tration and not population.
In making the ALLEGATION it was
found that five counties and cities
had already furnished volunteers for
the guard and army in excess OF their
gross quota and as result there
were 1874 men to be distributed to
the other counties and cities In pro-
portion to their population, cutting
down the draft just this much
The cities and counties which have
already furnished more than their
share of the 5,421 men the state will
furnish in all, are Hamilton county,
Story, county, Page county, cedar
The credits for the national guard
and army up to June 30 when credits
ceased were, guard 6,80S, and army
1888, but no credits is given for men
enlisted in the navy or for men in the
army before war was declared.

Remorse.


For all the wisdom that Is spilled,
for all the punishment that's earned. 1t
seems that life Is always filled with
lessons that are never learned; a NOR
tai creature 1t appears will seldom
fail to grab the chance to fill his little
lot with tears and wall In woeful cir
cumstance. He knows the paths that
he should shun, he knows the better
ways, Of course, he knows the folly Of
the fun that brings him weeping and
remorse, he knows that 1t Is all
snare, yet falls he for temptations
vile to later moan and tear his hair
and beat his bosom for while. This
train Of moral platitude Though
wise, it's nothing new In truth) the
writer pens In pensive mood for woes
have prompted it forsooth; and many
times he'd thought were learned the
lessons that had cost him pain, but
ah, the evil hour returned and he had
slipped from grace again. o fates,
endow him with the strength to see
the folly Of his way, to find the better
course at length and nevermore to
fall or stray; pray lead him not
through ways beset with thorns and
rocks and holes and mire-he simply
can't afford to get another sixty-dollar

IN SUR AGAINST HEARST

by Judge in Decision TO Have

ing. and Rlng as its own, news stories
from the Associated Press report,
prior TO their publication In Associa-

was handed down by u. S. District

There cannot be the slightest doubt
but that the Associated Press news
was pirated at Cleveland" the deciA
sion states, referring TO the -practises
upon which the Associated Press COM
plant was based. The decision does
not enjoin Hearst from rewriting

cation and appearance on the street
in newspapers.
In denying a counter-application

charged that the Associated Press

opinion that It is not the rule OF the
Associated Press to lift" news from
It's competitors.
