DROUGHT NOW ON
FOR SEVENTEEN DAYS

This is the eighteenth day of the
drought There was noticeable quantity
of rain in various sections of the country
yesterday but none of it fell here.
This is ST. Swithins Day. and from
present appearances there is a mighty
doleful prospect in view; that is. if one
takes any stock in the superstition, which
runs that If the day be fair il will be fair
and clear for 30 days. There is every in
dicaton that it will be fair to-day i'm
which case the drought ought to have a
new lease Of life. eYt there is a loopho'e
Of hope in the superstition. For the old
verse on which the superstition is found
cd predicts that if it rain on ST. Swithin' s
Day it win rain for 40 days.

of the dry spell To save their crops farm
ers of Brandywine hundred have resorted
TO the expedient of hauling water 10 their

last resort they have as a means Of saving
