THE IOWA RECORDER WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 3O, 19O3. Parkersburg is going to get along without a marshal. A girl tramp in boy's clothes was routed out of a box car at Mason City the other day. Congressman NVade has agreed with the democratic state central committee that he will make twenty-two addresses.

An exchange says it would be a fitting rebuke to pessimists if the corn crop should be a record breaser this year. A petition of 5,000 names has been laid before Governor Cummins asking that an osteopath be appointed as a member of the state board of health. Ihe sun has crossed the equator on its southern trip, but the chances are we shall see as much ot it as we have all summer. We couldn't see much less.

They got the honey, but were caught and had to put up a handsome sum for damages and expenses. John A.

What Is Life? In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is under strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results. Irregular living means derangement of organs, resulting in Constipation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr. King's New Life I i quickly re-adjusts this.

FOR WEEK ENDING SEPT. 28, 1903. DES MOINES, IOWA. This has been an ideal weelr for ripening the belated crops, and advancement of usual work. The temperature was about normal, with drying winds, and more than the usual amount of sunshine.

The week closed with light rains, followed by a moderate frost on the morning of the 27th, which caused no material damage to any field crops. Reports indicate that corn binders are at work in all districts and a considerable acreage will be put into shock to save the valuable fodder. Except in limited areas which suffered most heavily from storms and floods, reports from the fields are more cheerful in tone, giving assurance of better returns of the harvest than was deemed possible during the first half of the month. About three-fourths of the corn area of the state is now beyond the danger of injury by frost, and a considerable part of the is rapidly nearing maturity. While it is certain the total output of the crop will be much below the returns of 1902, yet it is likely to possess greater commercial and feeding value.

Excellent progress is being made in plowing, fall seeding and harvesting theminor crops. The potato crop as a whole will be much below the average. Apples and grapes are better than earlier reports indicated. NOTE. This will close the series of regular crop bulletins for the season.

But a special card will be issued October 5, giving a summary of the condition of the corn crop up to that date. To Exhibit Cardiff Giant.

Apple For Beauty nnd Fruit. Apple trees are so beautiful, even when bare of bloom nnd fruit, that they should be grown in pleasure gar- dons, like lilacs and laburnums. Tennyson speaks of orchard lawns, and there is no reason except bad taste why they should not nave a real existence.

The gloom of the fir tree, magnificent no doubt in its own northern forest, Is more incongruous dreariness it is dotted about a suburban lawn. Nothing will thrive under It, nnd often it will not thrive itself, but the apple, -with all the associated beauty of the countryside, gives us i and blossom nnd grateful shade.

On Saturday, September 26th, 1903, shortly after the noon hour, the augel of death beckoned to Jeremiah Perrin he and passed from this life. Deceased has been confined to the home of his SOD, O.

C. Pen-in, for near ly a year and a half, and a greater share of the time to his bed, patiently awaiting the end. It was the going out of a long and useful life. Jeremiah Perrin was born November 28th. 1820, in North Hamptonehire, England.

He was married in 1844 to Miss Elizabeth Woods. They emigrat ed to the United States in January, 1844, first settling in Allegheny county, and removed to Iowa in 1851, settling on his home farm, located near Clarksville, September 16, 1851, 'and made his home there continuously up to the time of his removal to Greene about three or four years ago. The first wite of the deceased died at their Clarksville home in year 1865, leaving her husband surviving and two children by said marriage, Elizabeth, the wife of Henry Brandom; and Mary the wife of Wm. H. Moore.

The deceased was united in marriage with Miss Ann Hillman of Rockford, Iowa, in June, 1866, who died at Clarksville January llth, besides her husband, their two children, Oscar C. of Greene and Mark J. of Clarksville. The four children survive their father. Until within the last few years the deceased was engaged chiefly in farming and the banking business.

Until failing health compelled his retirement from active business, he took an active part in the management of the First National Bank of Greene, and its successor, the First State Bank of the same place. Throughout his long life and business career in Butler coun ty the deceased had the respect and confidence of his business associates. His success in business may be attributed to his well known traits, great industry, energy and strict honesty. His kindness of heart commanded and retained the love of his neighbors and oldjfriends. After prayers at the house on Monday at 10 o'clock, the funeral directions were taken in charge by the brethren of the Masonic lodge, and the remains were taken to Clarksville, where the funeral proper was held and where the interment took place.

The services were largely attended, a number from Greene and other parts of the county being present. The Fayette county fair this year was a financial success, the receipts being 83,000 and the expenses 82,372. The income of the United States government is about $2,000,000 a day, but the government has a great many bills to pay. The people of Iowa have suffered enough during the season to make them entitled to all the fair weather they can get between now and Thanksgiving day. Now a-days the only a to get business is to advertise for it.

and the only way to keep it from getting away from you is to keep up the advertising indefinitely. To stop advertising is, as John aptly remarked, precisely like taking down one's sign. The moment you stop advertising the trade begins to dwindle. The public is always fickle. The shop-keeper who depends upon his reputation and fails to advertise makes a vital mistake.
