The haying season, which is about
two weeks later than usual, is now
fairly on. Only beginning has been
made, however, and we learn of some
farmers that have not yet begun to
cut. New land will yield a heavier
crop than last year while old fields or
any land that is naturally deficient in
moisture, will show falling off from
the average owing to the scanty rain
fall in May and June. The impression
seems to prevail that, taken altogeth-
er, the crop will be about that of the
average year.

Arthur B. Fardy, for the past four
years foreman of the stitching room
in the local plant of the Common
wealth Shoe & Leather Co., has re-
signed and closed with the firm Sat-
urday night. He left yesterday for
Auburn, where he has a similar posi-
ton with the Dingley Foss Co. 1t is
a strange coincidence that he learned
the trade of a shoemaker with this
concern and now goes back as fore
man. At 1918 Saturday morning Mr..
Fardy on some pretense was called to
the Office in his department where he
was presented by the help in his room
with a pair of sleeve buttons, set
with diamonds, and very handsome
