There was a very bad hail storm at
Thickety, Sunday afternoon. The hail
fell for about fifteen or twenty min
utes doing very much damage to both
corn and cotton. The rain that fell
with the hail and just afterwards did
considerable damage to the hill land.
There are several acres Of cotton that
was fine, that is now washed up and
beaten up so that it can not be worked
anymore The damage in this section
to growing crops will run up in the
thousands. This is by far the worst
hail storm that section has had in
many years. Deputy Sheriff Erie

A Change of Owners.

Mr.. Absalom FoOte, an eccentric
cid gentleman who had grown tired
of life i'm the city, decided to move to
some smaller town, free from the roar
of traffic, the hustle and confusion of
the thronging multitude, where he
could end his days TRANQUILITY, as be-
came a man of his age. In casting
about for a location. his eye chanced
to light upon the advertisement, in a
village paper. Of one Thomas X.
Foote, who wanted to dispose of his
boot and shoe store, at a bargain, hav-
ing made up his mind to remove to
the city.
That's the very thing" he said.
Selling shoes is a nice, easy occupa-
ton. 1t will give me just enough to
do to keep me from stagnating, and it
won't wear me out with overwork.
I'll investigate it. It's queer, though.
that his name is FOote, my name is
Foote, he wants to come to the city,
and l want to go to the country"
A visit to the little town decided
him. He liked it's appearance and To-
cation. He was pleased, moreover,
with Foote's Shoe Store" and bought
it, goodwill and all, at bargain.
We'll" said the other Mr.. Foote,
you won't have to change the sign"
NO" he answered slowly; III just
add a little to it,
The next day he added this, just be-
low the sign:
This Place Has Changed Feet.

study Of such things carried that spc-
cially constructed machines are used
by the government experts for meas
uring individual grains Of corn and for
determining the weight Of. grains
of wheat. For the latter pur-
pose a contrivance Is employed some
what resembling counting boards for
coins, a plane surface Of wood being
provided with exactly 1000 little holes,
into each of which q grain Of wheat
finds it's way when a quantity of the
seeds is poured over it. The overplus
being thrown off, just 1000 remain,
and their weight being readily ascer-
tained. the average for each grain is
duly recorded. Necessarily, the weight
Of the average wheat seed has most
important bearing upon the question
of the agricultural proftableness of
the variety under test.
When it comes to corn, size Of grain
in proportion to size Of cob Is the
thing that chiefly interests the plant
breeders. Some of the very "high per-
centage" varieties recently developed
have scarce enough cob to hold the
huge grains. 1t signifies pushing OF
the possibilities Of maize for human
use to the most profitable and satis-
factory extreme.-Rene Bache.

where the mills are "in the fields" 1t
can be employed with slight varia-
tions Of detail in all cases. 1t is per-
fectly lawful and feasible to sell lum-
Der which you have only to saw, for
delivery years hence if you choose.
You've got the stuff to deliver. 1t Is
equally right 10 sell grain for delivery
any month in the year If you have 1t
in your granaries or elevators.
But it is neither right nor necessary
to sell any commodit' which is nom
existent for the protection Of any le-
gitimate industry. Nobody but the
grower and the actual holder of cot
ton has a moral right to sell his
"hopes and prospects" as q CONNER
cial commodity.
Is there any bona fide protection in
these paper contracts?
For the gambler, yes-so long as
margins are good.
For the maufacturer-no! Suppose
a possible case:
If the cotton crop of the world was
only 100000 in any season and the
normal demand calls for 20,000,00O;
If the speculative manufacturer has
contracted for delivery of the actual
fabrics to be made from 10000, 1000
where will he get it? He may collect
his gambling insurance, but he can
not get the cotton to spin and weave
and he can not deliver the actual
goods He, too, may settle differ
ences" and cancel contracts, but the
people of the world do not get their
supplies. Prices would scar to abnOr-
nal heights until the demand was
killed and the people would be oblig-
ed to go without. 1t is easy to see
why brokers and mill men desire a
large acreage each year.
The people be damned"
There is usually a surplus of 1,0OO,-
600 or more bales to be carried from
one crop to another. Rarely is there
a shortage of cotton for normal de-
mands. Legitimate futures can be
sold against actual cotton without the
intervention of exchanges.
State selling agencies of an organ
ization that is solid can contract for
the delivery Of cotton at specified
dates whether it be for home mill de-
mand or foreign export. They can
warehouse and ship when the supplies
demand it.
If the practice Of short selling Of
margin contracts-the pure gamble Is
not made unlawful by Federal or state
enactments the growers will in turn
be compelled to say:
1.-The exchanges be damned" and
they'll attend to the process most ef-

A COOKING SCHooL.-Mrs. Millsap's
new girl, who never had gone out to
service before, and had scarcely any
experience as q cook, appeared TO be
willing and industrious, and was
quick to learn. In view of her mex
perience, she had readily agreed to
work for $3.50 a week. Mrs. Millsap
who was an expert cook, had taken
much pains with her education IN
that line, and at the end of five or six
weeks Jemima was equal to any de-
mands upon her in the line of kitchen
work. The mistress was greatly sur
prised, therefore, when the maid one
morning gave her a weeks notice.
What does this mean, Jemima?'
she asked. Haven't 1 treated you
fairly?"
Yes, aam," answered the girl
but I've learned how to cook now,
and I've found a place where 1 can
get $5 dollars a week right at the
start"
You didn't ask me to raise your
wages. Do you think you are acting
fairly with me?"
"Oh, I'm going to do the square
thing with you, Mrs. Millsap," said
Jemima. i've got sister about a

OF WHAT SHE DIED-An old Ger
man woman became i'll and was taken
by her husband to a hospital for treat
ment. The first day she was there,
when her husband called to inquire
about her, the doctor said she was inn
proving. On the second day he was
again told she was improving, and on
the third and fourth days the assur-
ance was the same. This was very
encouraging to the old German: but
when he called on the fifth day, he
was told that his wife was dead. In
his grief he sought his favorite saloon
to drown his sorrow. Watts de mat
ter?" asked the sympathetic barten-
der. noticing his customers despond-
ent condition. Zach! My wife iss
dead" replied the German. 80? Vat

husband, calling for another glass of

PAYING BY CHECK.
References Required to Open BanE
Account In England.


II like the American custom Of car
rying money loose in the pocket" said
D. H. Lieban, a retired banker of Lon
don. In England gentlemen and busi-
ness men carry very little money with
them Nearly everything is paid for
by check, except, of course, money
enough to pay the small incidental ex-
penses of a day
IF a man goes into a store to buy a
hat, he does not pay money for it, but
gives a check. If he is dining at a
public place, he very likely pays for
his meal with a check The system
of credit in England is different from
that in this country, and the mere fact
that Il man has an account in bank
serves to give him standing.
lone cannot open an account with a
bank in England merely by carrying
money to the bank and depositing it.
He must have two first-clasS refer
ences before a bank will accept his ac-
count, and when reference is given it
means that the person giving it would
indorSe or stand for the person to
whom it is given.
"A reference in England means more
than mere phrase. Checks on banks
in England cannot be obtained for the
mere asking, and a man must have an
account in order to get checks from
any bank They cannot be picked up
on bank counters or in public places.
Private accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless they are paid
for, the general charge being $50 a
year. There are one or two banks in
England which discriminate so care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when a person is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open an account with
them he can get credit in any city in
England or the continent of Europe"

HOW OUR WEIGHT VARIES.
The Way Person Will Gain and Lose
In One Day.

Don't get worried every time you
notice slight decrease in your
weight. OF course there may be
something wrong, but don't jump to
conclusions too quickly. Just take
into consideration the fact that the
weight was throughout the day.
Scientific investigation shows that
the average healthy man is always
gaining or losing weight throughout
the day.
At 9 a. m. before breakfast he
weighs, say, 155 pounds 8 ounces. An
hour later, after breakfast, he has
gained one pound twelve ounces, but
by noon he loses fourteen ounces Of
this, only Immediately to make it up
and to add two ounces by lunch,
which brings his weight to. 1871 pounds
6 ounces Then the fall begins again
and slowly continues till dinner time,
though the chief meal Of the day puts
on two pounds two ounces, fetching
him up to his maximum weight.
He Is at his lightest just before
breakfast and at his heaviest immedi-
ately after dinner.
There is big drop during the
night. 1t amounts on the average to
three pounds six ounces, but the loss
varies from two pounds to four
pounds according to idiosyncrasy and
the season of the year. In making
deductions from the results OF the eX-
periments touching variations in
weight allowance must be made for
special exertion, whether bodily or
mental.
That mental strain quickly tells on
the frame has been established in
connection with examinations. Com
parative tests show that students in
the high classes, where the effort Is
necessarily greatest, lose several
pounds more than those in the lower
classes.
The loss of weight due to physical
exertion is sometimes little surpris-
ing even to those who have devoted
attention to the matter. For instance,
Burgess, the swimmer, in trying to
cross the English channel, notwith-
standing the large amount Of food he
took while in the water, lost nearly
one pound per hour.
Even a degree Of exertion within
the capacity Of well nigh anybody is
an important factor in reducing
weight. 1t is easy to lose about two
pounds by taking a turn at home
exercise, while a brisk walk may in
volve a loss of three pounds or four
pounds.-Philadelph Press.
