does bliz in hot weather, by-tbe-wsy,
very coolly offers these rather refreshing
suggestions: Keep as cool as you eau
these dog. days. Drink cool water, not
too cold. Subslst on vegetables. Meat
eating is heating, and 80 cents a pound.
If extravagantly inclined, half a peach or
a plum daily will help some"

-"All signs fail in dry weather." and
that's no joke. For the past ten days all
the rain signs have been present at some
time during the day or night, but the
rains fail to materialize, and Old Sol con-
tinuesI to get hotter and dryer with each
succeeding day. In the meantime lawns
and grass plots are burning up from the
suns hot rays. We ure need rain to
save the crops that are still growing-or
we might better say, are at a standstill,
But we are not yet as bad of as some of
the western sections. though that is no
consolation. Misery in this case does not
like company.
Alfred Davis of Smithman street, who
advanced the claim that his sunfiower
stalk, which has reached an altitude Of
nine feet eight inches, was the record for
city lot growing, will have TO give way to
Mrs. NJ. e. Gordon OF Oak street. That
lady has a sunlower growing in her gar
den that is ten feet two inches high and
bears 16 flowers Derrick. But they'll

G. W. Robinson, who has a stalk in his
that o'ertops them all, measuring
as 1t does considerably over eleven feet,
and, with head erect, would probably
reach above the l2.foot mark.
Harley Lease, a young man aged
about rs years, was severely injured In a
fall while at work at the Mayburg chem
ical plant, Monday afternoon. He fell off
a charcoal Triple to the cement floor, a
distance of about II feet, striking on his
face and shoulders, the impact rendering
him unconscious for a time. Drs. Ser-ill
and Detsr of Kellettville we're called and
found the young man suffering severely
from bruises, but no bones were broken
and there was no evidence of internal
and he was taxi en- to the home OF
sister, Mrs. Edward Shaw, at Kel-
.lettville. His recovery seems at last re-
ports TO be assured.
Should you have an opportunity to
make the trip between Tionesta and
Sheffield by the creek route in an auto
don't refuse it, for a more enchanting ride
not we'll be pictured and a finer
route could not we'll be selected for a
real ly sensible joy ride, With the ex-
of a mile or so between here and
Nebraska, and about the same distance
up. in Warren county, the road is
a veritable dream. A careful driver can
the forty mile distance easily in
two hours, but one should take three in
to enjoy the grandeur o fthe scenery
and the many beauty spots 80 charming
to every lover of the sublime in nature.
The splendor of the trip cannot we'll be
described. 1t should be enjoyed TO be
appreciated.
Here is a true egg story that, for
fr%eakishness and sll-around wonderful

had laid IN egg a few hours previous
measuring 6 by ~ inches. On dissect-
ing the hen he found in her egg case six
fully developed eggs with regular
