MANY THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS ARE LOST

Business men are at a loss of thou
sands of dollars as result of the un-
usually cold weather being doled out
to humans this summer. At first
glance this may seem an exaggeration
and as superficial observation is not
convincing few solid facts may tend
to show our readers the truth of the
statement.
Clothing dealers. are, perhaps, the
hardest hit by the inclemency of the
weather. Anticipating a good sum-
mer season. they stocked their stores
with the habiliments for torrid at
mospheric conditions, light oolored,
light weight suits, straw hats and
many other things too numerous to
mention but which, nevertheless, are
essential to the enjoyment of warm
day. And now, to use street express
sion, "where are they at?' Some
clothiers, in speaking to a reporter,
said they sold as high as three straw
hats this summer; others mournfully
declared that their stock is not notice
ably depleted. AS for light suits
well. the handlers of clothing simply
refused to talk about them.
This, then, is the situation. Even
though the weather does "open up"
in the near future-and from present
indications it isn't likely to do so-the
clothing dealers will not be able to
sell half of their stock. What they do
dispose of will in all probability have
to 90 at a sacrifice Next year the goods
on hand will in the natural order of
things at present. be 'out of date. "
Selling under these circumstances will
be an exceedingly difficult task.
The clothing men are, therefore, up
against a proposition that rivals in
toughnss a choice sirloin steak. They
are going to lose money, and they re-
alize it, And as they see in prospec-
tive dollars with wings attached there
to flying, far from their grasp, they
have just reason to rail against Old
Sol, Boreas and everything in general.
Ice cream and soda water dealers,
too, experience difficulty in disposing
of their made under the provisions of
the new pure food law concoctions. "
Pretty maidens in peek-a-boos and
lingerie peculiar TO the summer. are
at premium this year. Instead of
wearing warm weather clothes they
sally forth from the parental domicile
arttired in the garb of winter and thus
clothed they shrink from the cool, re-
freshing, invigorating palace of the
god of summer drinks
Other lines of business suffer from
the wretched weather. but not in pro-
portion to the ones just mentioned,
Ana while we, who are not clothiers,
not ice cream dealers, find fault with
the existing conditions, we should re-
member that we haven't much cause
to complain ana should derive consola.
tion therefrom.

Threw Stuart's Picture In Fire.

Governor Stuart's ears must surely
have burned Friday evening when the
first meeting of Col. Ent post, No. 250.
G.. A. R. of Bloomsbury, was held
following the governors action in
vetoing the soldiers pension bill. The
governors action was bitterly de-
nounced and several of the Republican
members of the post declared that they
would never again vote the Republi-
can ticket by reason Of the governor :
action. One member OF the post de-
claTed that his wife as soon as she read
of the governor $ veto burned his pic
ture, aud he stauuch Republican,
sanctioned her action.
The following resolution in which
the position of Ent post is clearly de-
fined was unanimously passed at Fri
day evenings meeting:
Whereas, Governor Stuart has seen
fit to veto the bill offered by Senator
Cochran and passed by both branches
of our legislature almost unanimous
ly, giving to Pennsylvania veterans a
State pension,
Resolved, that this post hereby offers
protest against the governors action,
and do not consider the reasons given
for his veto as valid.
Resolved, that although the G.. "A.
r. is not political organization they
cannot help but remember that when
they asked for bread they were given
a stone, and although it is more than
40 years since they laid down their
implements of warfare, they can still

DANVILLE SPARED
BY Veto Ak

Governor Stuart on Saturday COM
pleted his work on the enormous mass
Of appropriation bills left in his hand
by the legislature, and, after having
cut the $71, 800. 900 appropriated by the
lawmakers down to $52, 900, 900, so as
to come within the estimated revenue
for the next two years, he laid aside
the veto ak, locked up his desk and
left for Philadelphia.
AS was anticipated Governor Stuart
allowed the appropriation for the Dan
vile hospital for the insane to go
through intact, and the 1929, 300 set
aside by the Legislature for the local
institution is now available, and will
likely be put to immediate use.
In welding the terrible ak the gov
ernor hewed tremendously but with
care. From the first to the last he
withheld the blows from the children
of the Commonwealth. The SIS, 900, :
900 appropriated was allowed in full,
exceeding by 81, 900, 600 any school ap-
preparation ever allowed before.
So, 900. 900 are cut from the sum ap

pose during the next two years.
The State and semi State institu-
tions saved their appropriations al
most intact, but the governor made a
level and almost pro rata cut in the
appropriations for private hospitals.
just as he refrained from cutting the
appropriations for the benefit of the
children of the State, so the governor
withheld his hand from the bills de-
singed for the care and aid of the

CORN CROP IS
MUCH AFFECTED

General conditions of the weather
this spring are making matters very
bad for farmers and gardeners Near
ly every crop will suffer from the cool
ness that has prevailed in this section
with possibly the exception of the
rye, potato, pea and several smaller
garden products. The lack of sunshine
and the prevalence of sufficient mois-
ture has caused most of the Sorn to rot
before sprouting and as result many
farmers have been obliged to replant
their entire crop. Wheat is consider
ably shorter than usual, although a
bright remaining season may render
the product fairly good. Potatoes are
growing we'll, but the prolific growth
of all sorts of weeds is making the
work of the farm and garden unusual.
ly cumbersome.
CORN CROP SUFFERS MOST.
The corn crop is the principal suffer
er from the condition of the weather.
Only in few fields where the slope
of the land and the condition of the
ground have caused the water to drain
off will the original seed produce
crop. A late fall is very necessary if
this section is 10 produce even fair
crop of corn. The second planting will
not get start until time for the first
crop to have reached height of six
inches or more. The usual time for
planting corn is between May 10 and
20. This season only the corn planted
early in June will amount to any
thing. An advance in the price of
this product this fall may therefore be
expected. Farmers are complaining
of weather conditions not only be-
cause of their corn crops, but also of
their wheat, barley. oats, hay and
garden products
WEED CROP PROLIFIC.
Nature provides that all plants and
foliage, classed by botanists as species
of the weed family, grow abundantly
no matter what the conditions of the
weather are. The crops this season are
being crowded ont by the weeds ex.
cept where the farmers and gardeners
are working diligently to keep them
down. Especially the potato crop is
suffering from weeds and constant
care is necessary. Even wheat and
similar products are affected to some
extent. Wheat is from six to twelve
inches high at present. 1t should be
at least three feet to correspond to its
height at this time on previous sea-
sons.
