The Boy And The Dog Argues For Canine Companions
The Cedar Rapids Republican extols a boy’s need for a dog and its moral and personal benefits. A dog’s simple qualities suffice, and any dog can teach patience, gentleness, and strength, shaping a boy’s character and even proving essential to his development. The piece cites the dog’s role as unmatched by teachers or books. It ends with a local ad for Little Early Risers liver pills.

Crop Bulletin Week Ending May 16 104
The week was cooler than normal with average daily temperatures 3 to 6 degrees below normal and light frosts widely. Rainfall was below normal except in limited areas. Early week warm, favorable for field work and vegetation growth, but late week frost and rain slowed germination and corn planting, though no material injury occurred. Corn planting progressed well where soils allowed, with most planting in northern central regions and drier southern lands.
State crop prospects improve with warm dry spell
The report notes 70 to 75 percent of corn area planted under fair soil conditions and good germination. Grass and small grain are doing well, fruit prospects favorable, and though late, the overall outlook remains encouraging as planting nears completion.
