Factory Subscriptions
Growing

AS mentioned elsewhere the sub
scriptions to the factory at Fri
day nights meeting were about
$4,000. Since then committees have
been at work making personal
canvass. Messrs. john W. Rose
and w. E. Vawtter Tuesday raised
over $4,000 among the buiness men
but Mr.. Rose said it was a tooth
pulling job and was the hardest
days work he'd done for some
time. The business men are al
ways willing to do their part as
they realize the need of pushing
forward, but the property owners
receive the greater benefits of a
factory and should lend hand.

HICKS FOR JULY
A Severe Drought Promised For

And Other Things

If those persons who are disposed to
grumble and kick at the rainy season
We have been experiencing would
only know it, perhaps they would be
little chary in pouring out their
vials of wrath at such quality.
Prophet Hicks winds up his pro-
nunciamento for August with the
heart-chilling statement that another
severe drought will begin about the
middle of July and extend through
August into September. He colors
his prediction that we shall very
probably see some celestial fire.

the same from your front door stoop
of the back yard, or any other perch
about your domicie.
There'll be no chance to run, eth
er, from burnt figures and the boogy-
boo of lockjaw following in its wake
Seer Hicks starts right off the reel
with one of those "reguar storm per
iods, which he says will extend from
the 2nd to the 7th. This storm will
begin with a decided rise of the tenn
perature and fall of the barometer
in the Western states.
1t will move eastward and will hit
us with what he calls warm wave
on the 4th. 5th and 9th, which will
have as its attendants vicious storms
of thunder. wind, rain and possibly
hail and local tornadoes. The seer
takes in some territory in his prog
nostications, for he says the antipodal
regions south of the equator will be
under great seismic strain at this
time, especially about the 9th and
5th, and something liable to go wrong
AS salve to this, Rev. Hicks says
we shall have a higher barometer

The midshipmen had greater or
less lead over both of their competi-

and they won through their general
high standard, only one of the twelve

MATRIMONIAL AGENCY?
Telephone Exchange Has Rival In

Once upon a time, and it was not

exchange was a typical matrimonial
agency 1t was a sure thing that
cupid lowered close to the wires, and
certain it was that all the girls Tor
five or six of them at the exchange
were married within as many months.
But the Telephone Exchange has been
beaten all hollow by Main street
department store, which has gained
the reputation of being frst-class
matrimonial agency. Girl after girl
who seeks position there gets mar
ried shortly after and there have been
two elopements in which girls filling
positions at this store have figured in
the last two or three weeks.
The firm constantly has an adver-
tisement for young ladies to fill the
position Of the one who got married,
and each succeeding applicant goes
and does likewise.
