CORN CROP NEARLY ASSURED.
One Half Inch rain Every Ten Days
Until Fall Will Produce Bumper
Crop.

A good corn crop in the state of
Iowa is practically assured, accord
ing to the weekly weather and crop
bulletin, published by the United
States crop service.
One-half an inch of rain every ten
days from now until fail will pro-
duce a bumper crop, is the belief of
Charles D. Reed, director.
The report for the week ending
July % follows
:" Corn averages we'll along in its
most critical period-the tasseling
and silking period, though unusually
variable in its development in some
sections. With normal temperature
and rainfall during the next twenty
days this crop will be practically as
sured. 1t would be benefited by rain
now in all sections, particularly in
the central and southern counties.
early threshing returns show
winter wheat yields of ten to thirty
five bushels per acre, weighing fifty
seven to fifty-eight pounds per bu-
shell. The average yield will not be
far from that of the last ten years.
Spring wheat ranges from consider
able acreage not worth harvesting
to possibly fifteen or twenty bushels
per acre, averaging not more than
half of the sixteen-bushel normal
on the acreage seeded. This crop is
the poorest in the western counties,
which have heretofore been the
heaviest wheat producers in the state.
Oats are light in yield and quality
and the average will be considerably
under that of the last ten years which
is thirty-seven bushels.
Excellent weather for haying
has resulted in large crop Of ex-
cellent quality. Second crop alfalfa
is being cut and shows good yields.
The quality is much superior to that
of the first crop due to better wealth
er for curing. More than the usual
acreage of timothy is being cut or
reserved for seed and large crop
is expected.
Potatoes, both early and late,
have suffered seriously from lack of
rain; also garden truck"

WHAT is MAN.

A writer in The Electrical Exper-
asks the question (surely
an old and battling one), and sub
mits a scientific" answer, as fol-
lows:
"A man weighing approximately
$50 pounds will contain approximate
ly $500 cubic feet of gas-oxygen,
hydrogen and nitrogen-in his con-
stitution, which at 80 cents a thous-
and feet would be worth $3.50 for
Illuminating purposes. He also con-
tains all the necessary fats to make
a fifteen pound candle, and thus, to-
gether with the $500 cubic feet of
gases, he possesses considerable il
Eliminating possibilities. His system
contains % pounds and ten ounces
Of carbon, or enough to make $50
dozen or $3.50 lead pencils. There
are about so grains of iron in his
blood and the rest of his body would
supply enough OF this metal tesmake
enc spike large enough to hold his
weight. A healthy man contains "a
ounces of phosphorus. This deadly
poison would make 100000 matches,
or enough poison to kill 500 persons.
This with two ounces of lime makes
the stiff bones and brains. No differ
ence how sour a man looks, he con-
tains about 60 Jumps Of sugar of
the ordinary cpbical dimensions, and

there are 20 spoonfuls of salt. If a

stand child nature as it is demon
strated in the growing boy and girl.
In that manner the finest superyis-
ion possible is offered tosthese} young
people. They are under no restraint
and they receive kindly treatment
administered in fatherly and moth
erly spirit. 1t would be- possible to
write pages and pages Of the great
work that is being done at Moose
heart, for there is no end to the
stories that can be told of this great
shrine of childhood
Every member of the Loyal Order
of Moose supports Mooseheart. Every
member contributes one dollar each
year for the maintenance of this in
stitution and every member is en-
/ titled to it's benefits. The man who
proudly calls himself a Moose is
distinctly working man. He does
not live by his wits, nor does he
bank on his cleyerness. He is no
bounder nor fourfiusher. He knows
that nothing is worth while but the
truth. A man who would Join the
Moose must be a man VINO respects
his home and regards it as a san
ctuary for his wife and children.
His principle thought in life is to
give them the best he has. A good
Moose is the sort of man who
thoroughly enjoys the company of his
wife and children. He is the sort VINO
is anxious to see his children secure
the best they can out of life. When
he joined the Moose he did so with
the distinct thought that ne might
be able to secure the future of his
or his brothers children if either be
called before his time.
No man can join this order with
out being benefited or improved, he
is bound to absorb ideas and grow
qualities that make for good citizen
ship.
The Loyal Order of Moose is only
the manifestation of the time in
which we live. 1t has organized the
sentiment that is in the afr and on
that idea has built plan of life that
is bound to benefit the world in big
and substantial way.
1t is nonsectarian, the children are
brought up in the creed their parents
believed in. Regardless OF national
ity or creed, the Moose welcomes
with open arms the man who believes
in kindness, justice, purity and truth.

IOWA THRESHING RATES.
Prices Go Up Like That of Every
thing Else.

Greene, Ia.-There are now six
different threshing outfits owned in
this vicinity by the farmers, from
four to twelve owning an outfit, and
they thresh for themselves first, be-
ginning at one end of the run one
year and at the other end the fol-
lowing year, threshing out for each
in rotation. Several of these outfits
have been handled in this way for
several years, while others will
start out this season for the first
time. In this way they do not have
to wait until late in the fall for
machine, and run the risk of having
their grain badly damaged by the
rain. Several Of the outfits expect
to start up this week.
