FARMERS TO GET
DAILY WEATHER REPORT

Through an arrangement perfected
between the United States weather bu-
reau and the Southern Bell Telephone
company, more than $4,000 southern
farmers will receive the daily wealth
er reports by telephone beginning on
July /.
The daily weather reports will be
furnished the telephone company by
the weather bureau, and the report
will be read to the farmers by tele-
phone operators. At a given hour each
day general alarm will be sounded,
calling every farmer to the telephone.
When they are all assembled the re-
port will be read. Any farmer who
is not able to answer the signal and
hear the report has the privilege of
calling the operator and securing the
information.
Almost every farmers telephone
line connected with the Bell System
has six or more subscribers, and by
reading the report to each line the
work can be speedily accomplished.
This is the first comprehensive and
systematic effort to furnish this fr-
formation without cost to the farmers
of the South. The 8read of the tele-
phone in the rural districts in the past
few years has made it possible to
reach such large number of farmers
through the Bell System, and the dis
semination Of weather news by tele-
phone is one of the many practical
uses for the telephone on the farm.
The territory of the Southern Bell
company covers the states of North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Virginia and the southern
half of West Virginia.

Washington, July 9.-Tomorrow will
be the safest and sanest Fourth of
July in the history of the nation. In

the land that has not fallen under the
influence of the propaganda. Unless
all signs fail, tomorrow list of the
victims of explosives will be the
smallest in many decades. Public SEN

annual slaughter of the innocents. The
national stomach has at last sickened
and revolted. and spewed out the
whole nauseating mess of miscalled
patriotism.

ALLEGES FALSE ARREST
Hartford Man Brings Suit Against a

Hartford, Oct I2--As the result of being whirIed around the city on an enforced auto ride and mulcted as he says, Of s90, Harry Beisser of this city, has brought a $1 .OO0 damage suit against Deputy Sheriff Albert M. Si- monds, for false Imprisonment.
 One day in the early part of Sep tember it is said that Beisser was followed from his work and threat ened with arrest if he did not fur nish security for a note of s100. Then he was bundled into the automobile and carried to the Hartford hospital, where Beisser's wife was Ill with the expectancy of becoming a mother. Here Beisser got a key or in some way arranged to give his captors s90 to insure his appearance at the city court the firAt Monday in October.
 It is alleged that Beisser entered his appearance in the city court at the required time but no writ had been returned and the defendant Sir monds refused to return the $90, Beis- ser asserts that he was making his regular payments on the note and that there is no cause of action against him. Deputy Sheriff Simonds claims that he had a writ for Beisser and that afterward he offered to refund him his $90
