Rain at the right time--that IA
what Dickinson county is receiving
this year. Prospects for good crops
were beginning to look doubtful
several weeks ago but good two
inch rain put them in good condi-
ton. Another rain last night, nearly
an inch of It, fell in the central
west, south and east portions Of the
county. North Dickinson received on
Iy a light shower. The rain last
night will help the corn, will give
the alfalfa better start and will
put the ground in fine condition
for the fall blowing. Rain at this
time OF the year is appreciated by
the farmers.

LIGHTNING STRUCK HAY BARN
PrOmptness Of Fire Department Saved
the Building.

During the electric storm last
evening the hay barn of Pat Higgins
on South Buckeye was struck by
lightning, setting fire to the alfalfa
hay in the loft. The barn was slightly
damaged and about 80 tons Of hay
spoiled. That the barn was not
totally destroyed was due to the
promptness OF the fire department,
which arrived at the barn before
the flames had gained much head
way. The water pressure last even
liz was the best that has been known.
The meter at the telephone office
registered 100 pounds, when It us
nally reads between 80 and 80
pounds,
The lightning struck the north end
Of the barn which contained over SO
tons of alfalfa. The damage is es'
timated at $500, fully covered by in
surance in the wyandt agency.
I'VE certainly appreciate the work
OF the firemen," said Mrs. Higgins
this morning. "They answered the
alarm promptly and arrived in plenty
Of time to put out the fire ,bofer II
had done much damage"

ABILENE MAN MADE HODGES
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

The nomination of George H.
Hodges for governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket was largely the result
Of the work of his publicity office
in Abilene, conducted by ]. w. Howe.
But for this work it is doubtful of
his narrow majority would have ben
won.
In about so days was built up a
good organization and the headQuar-
ters was in touch with over 1900 of
the 1900 precincts in the state. The
most difficult task was to convince
the voters that Hodges was in dan
ger of defeat.
Over 10000 pieces of literature
were mailed, together with over $500
circulars and 1900 personal letters.
This was aside from the work OF
billing and arranging the meetings
Of Senator Hodges who spent three
weeks campaigning. The most eff
fective work was through the news
papers. Over So columns Of newspa-
per copy was sent out and for two
months about 100 Democratic pa
pers printed the campaign material
together with Hodges senatorial rec
ord. Copy was written for literature
sent out besides sending the dailies
considerable press matter. Mr.. Bill
lard says that the newspapers beat
him-and he can check it all back
to Abilene.

White Wing Shooting Is Also at Its

There is nothing like seeing the real ducks brought in town to cause the hunters to realize that the game is here At least a dozen people were seen on the streets yesterday morn ing with anywhere from three to four to fifteen ducks apiece, which had been killed on the river in the morning. The flight is said to be very good anywhere on the river.

pERILS IN VEGETABLES.

A blow has been struck at those who advocate a vegetable diet as more healthful than a meat diet by the theo- 1-v that vegetables may be the medium of conveying typhoid fever germs to the human system. The principal dang CT lies in the eating of uncOoked vege- tables-celery. lettuce, Tadishes, onions, and so on-which may carry germs on the surface. While a thorough washing would be sufficient to remove some germs, it is declared that in many cas- es this is not a safeguard. Experiments tried with lettuce leaves are said to have shown that there are germs whose power to harm could be destroyed only by cooking. The Medical Journal makes the statement that some plants seem to absorb living disease germs from infected soil Soil was inocuiated with typhoid fever bacilli. The bacilli remained alive in it for siXty-seVen days and were found alive in leaves of lettuce which were growing in it. These experiments indicate that as much care must be exercised to keep vege table garden free from infection as is now exercised in the case of dairies or Democrat and Chronicle.

IRON SPRINGS. Aug. 21-Fresh inquiries are coming in daily for cot tages to rent by people, who, be- cause of infantile paralysis have been forced to abandon their plans to spend September in Los Angeles. Several families who had anticipated closing their cottages here the first and go over to the coast for a few
 weeks have decided not to risk the chance of more strict quarantine lat CT. Doubtless camp will be full un- til September 18th and eight or ten families expect to remain until Oc- tober. Though the home call is strong the perfect weather here tempts pec- Tle to delay leaving from day to day.
 The new tennis court has been the seat of interest in camp the past ten days. Located on the mesa just back of Mrs. PembertOns cottage it is ac- Cessible to all players and is fitted cut with a grand stand to accom- mOdate spectators. The camp is much indebted for the time and work given U it by Clay Parker and the young men make bows particularly to Mir
 Parker. Without his engineering the directors would have had to bc under the expense of hiring some labOr-as it has been the only expense was the material for back stops. If the work progresses as rapidly as is now hop
