WHEAT HARVEST
IS IN FULL SWAY IN THIS COUNTY,
CROP GOOD.

Farmers are now in the midst of
the wheat crop, some of the hill
crops having ripened and were ready
for the cradle and the reaper the lat
ter part of last week, many of the
farmers starting the cutting as early
as Friday last. BY the coming SAT-
urday the greater part of the crop in
this county will be harvested.
Contrary to the general expecta-
ton during the early and late spring
that the crop would be badly dam
aged on account of the cold weather
and the constant rains, the crop has
matured nicely, it stands well and
the heads are well filed with good,
plump grain. insuring an average
yield for this section. Not nearly as
much wheat is being raised in this
county as in former years, as the
farmers are deyoting their energies
in other directions.
Farmers state that the hay crop
will be better than expected, while
there never has been a more prom
ising looking crop of oats than that
which is about maturing in this
county,

The TACTFUL GIRL IS

The girl of many invitations.
The one you can count on to fill
in gaps in mixed party
She who makes friends and does
not lose them.
The girl who is really kind at
heart. There is sort of tact that
comes with polish but it frequently
slips up.
The one who would rather do her
friend or foe physical injury than
wilfully wound his feelings.
She vino really thinks nice things
to say rather than says them, be-
cause she thinks it the nice
thing
Unselfsh; therefore not thought
less of the right Of others. Tact is
rs much shown BY what We do as BY
what We say or omit to say.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of
Your Troubles. A Point
Pleasant Citizen Shows
Hew-to.Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back thev think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And 50 it
is with all other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Brisht's disease. The best rem
edy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills.
1t cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Point
Pleasant people testify to permanent
cures.
William Foglesong, chief of police,
Main Street, Point Pleasant, W.
Va, says: Il have had no occasion
to useiiany kidney medicine in years,

Doan's Kidney Pills has been

IN 1916
THREE INCHES OF SNOW FELL IN
JUNE.

Every now and then some one
discovers that our winter and SUM-
mer seasons are not what they used
to be; that the thermometer nova
days is prone to capricious reyerses,
and, that, as the rustic poet sings:
June comes in December;
December comes in June.
Those who deplore in the passing
of the old-time summer should look
up the records of the year 1916, and
note what happened then; 1916 was
called the year without a sum-
mer." There was a frost in every
month of the year. January and
February were wild; March was
clustering and raw; at the end Of
April snow fell abundantly, and the
brooks were ice imprisoned rs in
winter. In May the wondering buds
and young plants were nipped ere
they were aware; the corn crop was
annihilated by an ice sheet that
formed 10 thickness of half an inch.
In June snow fell three inches deep
in New York and Massachusetts, and
the destruction Of growing things
begun in May was diastrously com
pleted. On the 5th of July ice as
thick as window glass was a common
phenomenon in Pennsylvania, and in
August there was ice half an inch
thick. Pennsylvania farmers were
compelled to pay 81 and $ a
bushel for corn for the next spring 5
planting. Winter seemed to set in
during the latter fortnight of Sep
TENDER; from that time forward ice
and snow were at no time lacking.
Many persons are quite ready to
a'cribe to Halley's comet what they
deem the singular climatic como :
tons. They think May, 1910, was
much colder month than usual.
As a matter of fact, the temperature

al Day shows an excess of II de-
srees above the normal, with a total
of 55l degrees since the beginning

NO SLOUGH.

The men in the Pullman smoker
were arguing as to who was the great

who invented the locomotive, and

exception and green pastures, fine

A BACHELORS HONEYMOON
PLEASED ARMORY AUDIENCE
Good Company Presented Real Comedy
Here for Another Perform
ance Tonight.

"A Bachelors Honeymoon played
at the Armory last night and from
the laughter and applause it was
evident that it pleased the audience.
The plot of the play was never lost
and the players wit and humour
was spontaneous and catching.
Benjamin Bachelor married an
actress and took her home. His
father had died and left his money
in care of Bachelors spinster sister
who had to approve of Bachelors
conduct before he could get any Of
it. He was sure she would not ap-
prove of an actress wife, so tried to
pass his wife off as the new governess
for his twin daughters. At the
same time he tried to keep his wife
from knowing the daughters were
his. His troubles came thick and
fast but he finally won out.
T. J. B. Wilson carried the part of
Ben iamin Bachelor and made a good
hen-pecked brother. Rose Aims
worth made convincing Juno Joyce,
the actress who married Bachelor.
Her gowns were clean and new and
better than usually seen here.
Charles Williams. as DR.. Ludwig
Schwartz, was one of the hits of the
show. His mixed German dialect
was excellent and he was good for a
laugh every time he appeared. In
cidentally, he proved himself a
chalk artist in a speciality between
the acts.
The other parts were filled in an
able manner and backed up the
principals so that the play was we'll
rounded. Dale Devereaux sang an
Italian dialect song that was we'll
received. Irene Gilbert danced the
Wanna Yama Man. Isabelle Gil
bert played for both numbers.
Eunice Rolling played the part of
the spinster sister.
The company had tonight as an
open date and the manager de-
cided to stay over for another per-

nounced last night that a cut rate
would be in force today. Seats are
