AUGUST was POOR MONTH
Corn Made Very Little Progress
Owing TO Cool Weather

O"tnE 10 tOOl "CdtiitE
Iowa's corn crop did not make
good progress during August. The
days and nights were entirely too
cool to promote normal growth.
Warm days and nights must prevail
through September and the first 20
days of October to insure mature
crop. Heavy rains August 10th
and 21st caused a very large acreage
of corn to fall over, causing consid-
cradle damage to the crop. The
district of the state which suffered
most extends in a northeasterly di-
rection from Mills county to Winnie
bago county. A considerable por-
ton of this fallen corn will I'M
doubleday be. saved by hogging it
down and turning in sheep and cat,
tie. A condition of 80 percent on
September LIST forecasts production
of 413,100,000 bushels compared
with 100000 bushels harvested
last year.
The condition of spring wheat at
time of harvest was GA percent of
normal, forecasting a production of
5 ,113,000 bushels, compared with
7,145, 900 bushels harvested last
year. Black stem rust, scab and
blight chiefly account for the low
production.
With condition of SO percent
September LIST, upon 5,500,O00 acres
"a total production of 1880, 900
bushels of oats is indicated, compar-
ed with 1916, $4,000 bushels harvest
ed last year.
The condition of Iowa's barley
crop at time of harvest was SO per-
cent, which indicates total produc-
ton of 8,341,00O bushels, compared
with S,032,000 bushels harvested
last year.
The condition of white potatoes,
(Irish) September LIST was 80 per-
cent of normal, foreeasting a total
production of 1O,9S7, 900 bushels.
compared with 4,945,00O5 bushels
harvested last year.
The average yield of hay (all tame
or cultivated varieties, is estimated
at 144 tons per acre. The prelim-
mary acreage estimate for this year
is 3,077, 900 acres. The total pro-
duction of tame hay is estimated at
4,431,000 tons, compared with 81
1871 900 tons last year.
The number Of hogs on Iowa
farms for fattening September LIST
compared with the number on farms
year ago is SO percent. There is
also decrease of 8 percent in the
United States.

Logan Boy Kills Himself

George Calvin Ellison of Logan
hanged himself in the hay NOW of
the Wirthworth barn near Little
Sioux early Saturday morning.
Sickness, which has afflicted the
youth for some time, is thought to
have caused compare i've insanity,
during a fit of which the lad com
mitted suicide.
He has been employed in the
Wirthowtrh farm. Saturday
morning he went to the barn and fed
the horses as usual, and evidently
had gone to the NOW to throw down
hay for the animals. Apparently
he determined suddenly to take his
life, for the fork was found stuck in
to the hay as if ready to be used.

wrong information by the neighbor,
and has never recovered although
the accident took place June 18th,

Bluffs later and verified newspaper
stories that the man had not died,
but Mrs. Kirk was unable to recover
from the shock
On June 18th Mrs Kirk, driving
a car on North Main street in Coun-
ell BLUFFS, ran into Watt Empson
rs years old while he was crossing

Bad Auto SnilI

County Agent W. A. Geiger Of
Guthrie Center was the victim of an
automobile accident last Thursday
which resulted in some painful in
juries from which he now seems to
be recovering. He was travelling
over the Panora Speedway to Des

his steering gear, while going down
a hill this side of Dallas Center,
causing the car to turn turtle. In
the car with Mr. Geiger was Mrs.
Geiger, Mrs. Bessie Randolph, her
son Ted, and Miss Gertrude Sim
mons. All the occupants Of the
car were caught under it with the
exception of young Randolph, who
was able to life the car and release
the others. Mr.. Geiger who was
driving the car was caught under the
steering wheel which fractured some
of his ribs and otherwise bruised
him up. Miss Simmons was some
what stunned but soon recovered
from the shock and was able to go
on to Des Moines with Mrs. Ran
dolph and her son. Mrs. Geiger Sc
cured medical attention at once for
her husband and he was brought
back to his home in Guthrie Center

Girls Ran Away From Home

Girls Ran Away From Home
Two young girls from Clarinda ar
rived in Yorktown Thursday after
noon. They walked out the rail-
road track and gave apples to the
section hands along the way. They
were Is or / 8 years old. The town
people noticed them along the coal
sheds about the depot and about
the streets, but no investigation was
made until evening, when they APP
piled at the Castle home for place
to stay all night. Miss Castle could
not keep them, but being teacher,
she has the interest of girls at hear,
and traced the matter up when after
her talk with them decided that their
story did not ring true, She direct
ed them to the home of Mrs. Henry
Beezley, but instead they applied at
the home of Rev. and Mrs. Schroed-
err, who kindly took them in for the
night. Meanwhile the mayor and
some of the townspeople phoned to
their parents, whose names were
given by the girls as Jim Anderson
and Elva Clark. The sheriff at Clar-
linda was also notified and the par
ents, who had worried since school
was out, we're relieved to locate the
girls. Mr.. Anderson and the Clark
boy hurried out by auto and took
the girls back home. The girls
stated that they stopped off to see
Yorktown and missed their train tt
Shenandoah.

Young Nam Fen From Train

A Young man, mot yet twenty,
Dan Dunkus, of Springfield, Illi-
nois, fell from freight train Satur
day night on which he was getting
free ride from Omaha and sustained
an injured hip, it seems. He APP
ra'rs 70 have been Jared off when
the train stopped at Coon Rapids. He
was unable to stand upon his feet
when he attempted to get up and so
crawled up to the caboose door and
tried to get some help but all the
crew at the time appears to have
been at the depot. He then on his
hands and knees crawled to Mr..
Barnoske's home not far distant and
from there DR.. Wolfe was called and
the boy taken to the Diamond Hotel
where he was cared for until We'd
nesday when he departed for his
home in Illinois. The young man
had been at Omaha to be examined
for military service and being reject
ed he was on his return to Illinois.
He is an Intelligent lad, well dressed
and apparently of excellent parent
age

Complimentary to Judge Thomas
Arthur and in honor of his nomina-
tiou for the supreme court, about
$50 of his friends, headed by the
Logan band, marched to his home
Monday evening and gathered on the
porch and lawn in front of the
house. After several selections by

introduced Judge j B. Rockafellow
of Atlantic, who explained to Judge
Arthur the meaning of their visit
and in a few words congratulated

gan. Attorney Bolter then gave a
short talk, explaining how much it
meant to the town of Logan to
have such man as Judge Arthur
for a citizen.
Judge Arthur responded in very
fitting manner. After several more
band selections the main part of the
crowd dispersed, while a few of
Judge Arthur's personal friends re-
NAMED to spend the rest of the even
ing with him.

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain
 the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medi- cine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an enc 1ess chain sys- tenn the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 prominent druggist says: Take for example. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, preparation havesold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact. so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur- mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,.
