COOP CORN WEATHER.

We have had some OF the hottest
weather of the season the past week,
the temperature mounting to above 30
degrees on several days. All vegeta-
tion was rapidly drying up but the
copious shower last night was great
benefit. The warm weather fastened
maturing of the corn crop which Is
now practically made. The early corn
is ripe and is being cut while the
late corn will soon be out OF the
way. While frost sometimes come
early enough to catch the corn in the
milk, the average killing frost is
October 18TH. A bumper corn crop
of high quality seems assured for
Iowa, where the best
corn in the country is to be found
this year according to the govern
ment reports.

SALVATION ARMY HOME SERVICE
i FUND.

Iowa will raise fund OF $50O.O00
during the week OF September % to

Service work. Every county In Iowa
will be organized to raise its quota.
The quota for Delaware County IS
only 100000 and those In charge feel
confident that the good people Of the
county will respond generously when
the solicitors call for subscriptions.
The Salvation Army did noble
work for the American soldiers IN
the war, especially those units that
were at the front and saw the hard
|est fighting. During the period OF
the war the SalvationaArmy spent all
LOT its time and energy in working
for the soldiers, and naturally had to
neglect its home service work. The

pie Of the country for funds to carry

not an organization In existence to-
