There was some frost on Sunday
night, but no reports of damage to crops
worth mentioning have thus far come in.
The hay crop will be above the average
ifwarm weather during June will con-
tinue, the wet May having assured that
crop. Other crops are, however, not
looking so prosperous owing to wet and
and cold. The apple crop is not promis-
ing well, but other fruits seem to be COM
ing on all right.

A sewing machine fraud is operating
in various localities and may turn, up in
this section. His method of operating is
thus described: He would visit the home
and get the consent TO clean the sewing
machine, and while doing so would re
move some part and then show some
broken piece of machinery, telling iht
lady 1t would have to be replaced at {
number of dollars, he of course having
the proper piece to fit. He would ther
slip in the original piece and receive hi
compensation for the work. VI IN
thought he could deceive his patron fur
ther, he would find second piece ant
thus add more to the treasury. A mum
ber have been ieeced in this manner anC
the residents should be shy Of machin
men.
