WEATHER HELPS CORN CROP
Only Benefit From Rain Now on
Late Product-Fan Flowing
Nearing Compet -Start
Wheat Sowing.
By s. D. Flora, Meteorologsst.

Warm, sunshiny weather that pre-
vailed in Kansas this week with the
highest temperatures of the summer,
and hot winds in several western coun-
ties fastened the maturity of corn ac-
cording to the reports of 100 cores
pondents of the Weather Bureau.
The rainfall was quite light and scat
tered, except in the two eastern tiers
of counties and the Kaw Valley below
Manhattan, where copious amounts
fell.
Corn is practically made in all
parts Of the state and has passed the
point where none of it, except the late
planted, would be benefited by more
rain, in fact in many places added
moisture would be detriment by
soft and mouldy corn. 1t has passed
the roasting ear stage and is denting
in the eastern half Corn cutting has
already begun in the central portion
and many southern counties and with
a continuation of dry weather will
southeastern and few north-centra1
counties high winds have damaged
corn 10 to rs per cent
Threshing is rs to 80 per cent fin
ished and has made satisfactory head
way in the western counties, but great
ly delayed in the northeast quarter by
continued rains, which have damaged
wheat still in Shocks
Fall blowing is nearing completion
with the ground in fine shape, except
in strip about so miles wide, ex-
tending north and south across the
state near the central portion and
westward into the upper Arkansas
Valley In the lower Kaw Valley the
ground has been too wet to pillow most
of this week.
Sowing wheat has already. started
in a few localities in the northwest
counties where it will be under way in
a great many places by September 1.
As a rule it will not begin in the east
ern counties before the latter part of
September.
Pastures are generally reported in
fine condition. Seeding alfalfa is I'M
der way in many places and the third
cutting of the crop is being put up.
Grain Eorghums are heading and
generally reported in good to excel
lent condition

REMARKABLE CASE
Reported by Well Known Georgia
Merchant.
Sounds Incredible But Facts
Vouched For.

Writing from Maxeys, Ga, A. J.
GiHen, proprietor of a large depart
ment store at that place, says:
Il have a customer here who was in
bed for three years and did not go to
a meal at any time. She had five
physicians and they gave her up. One
bottle of Tanlac got her up, on the
second she commenced keeping house,
and on the third she did all the cook
ing and housework for a, family of
eight
This sounds really incredible, but It
comes unsolicited from q. highly credit
able source and is copied verbatim
from the letter.
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tu1ly-
Mcfarland Drug Co., and leading
druggists everywhere.-Adv.

He CALLS A HALT
State Auditor Puts Check On
Illegal Bond Issues.
Stop Attempts to Take Advan-
tage of a New Law.

Officials of Kansas towns who are
trying to avoid meeting their legiti-
mate tax problems by issuing bonds
under a new law passed by the 1921
legislature are finding State Auditor
N "A. Turner a hard man to deal with.
Within the last two weeks Turner has
turned dow five sets of bonds issued
by municipalities under the new law
that permits counties, cities and. boards
of education and townships to fund
into bonds their standing indebted
ness, existing at the time of the pass
age of the law.
There seems to be a tendency on
the part of officials to put off the evil
day of payment just as long as it can
possibly be done, by passing the bur-
den on to the next generation in the
form of high interest bearing bonds"
Turner said. Whether 1t is cowardice
on the part of municipal authorities
that makes them fail to make suf-
SAcfent levy to take care of current and
maturing obligations, or negligence, I
am not prepared to say, but l am posi-
tive that the policy of issuing per
cent bonds running from one to thirty
years to pay the ordinary running ex-
pense of a city is poor business A
certain county in Kansas has refunded
an issue of railroad aid bonds three
different times. covering a period of
forty years and has during that time
pau thIt1SSl nearly OOuDIe lAlO
amount of the principal, which still
remains unpaid"
Bonds for Commissions.
Turner said one township insouth-
ern Kansas sought to include under
the new law, $500 fee to bond bro
ker in its list of outstanding indebted
ness, although the contract with the
broker was not entered into for more
than 60 days after the passage of the
new law and despite the fact that
this law provided only for bonding
debts in existence at the time the law
was passed. A county in Northeastern
Kansas also sought to issue bonds to
pay several thousand dollars in COM
missions to an investment company for
handling the countys outstanding
warrants
1T is not my purpose" Turner said,
ito embarrass any municipality in its
effort to place its finances in order,

WHAT HOLDS
MEN BACK
HSLIFE IN MANY CASES, AND MAKES THEM
WEAK. NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE
WHEN THEY OUGHT To BE IN
THEIR VERY PRIME.

As men grow older the iron in their blood
IS apt to thin out and ms a consequence
their nerves and Will power become weak
ened and they may rapidly lose both bodily
and mental vigor. A New York physi-
clan says that more than one half the pop
ulatlOn of America perishes before middle
age and TINT one of the chief contributary
causes of this terrible waste of human life
is the sdevitalizing weakness brought by
lack of sufficient iron in the blood. There
are 100000 600 COO 600 red blood corpuscles in
your blood and each one must have iron.
When your blood is starving for iron, no
mere tonic nor stimulants can put you
right; starving blood must have iron the
same MS a starving person must have food
iron Is red blood food. But when You take
iron fy sure to take organic Nuxated Iron
and not metallic or mineral iron which
people usually take. Metallic iron is made
merely by the action of strong acids on
small pieces of iron, while organic Nuxated
Iron is like the iron in your blood and like
the iron IN spinach and apples. 1t quickly
helps make rich red blood and revitalize
your wornOut exhausted nerves. Beware of
substitutes. Look for the word "Nuxated"
on every package and the letters N. l. on
every tablet. Your money will be refunded
