SUMMIT HOUSE BURNS; GUESTS
 FLEE IN NIGHT

Jefferson, Mass, Aug. 6-Nearly 100 guests were forced to leave their rooms hastily when the Summit House. a summer hotel here, was dis covered ablaze early today. The four story wooden building was destroyed, causing a, loss estimated at $12, 900. The fire started around an open fire place. A night watchman who dis covered it, notified other members of the hotel staff and the guests were quickly aroused. Before all of them could get out the stairways were in flames and many were obliged to climb down the fire escapes or were assist ed down ladders by volunteer fire men

 The storm caused general havoc and much damage in Newtown. The farmers suffered most. All corn fields look as if run under by a g1- gantic steam roller. Happening as it did at the beginning of polonizatlon, there will be little grain, as the pollen has been beat into theg round by the rain, and the stalks having stamina enough to rise will be unable to fer tilize the ears. A careful estimate fixes total loss from in jury to corn crop as $5,0OQ. and the stalks will only be fit for feeding out, or in s1los for winter use. The peach orcharas suffered greatly. Newtown Curtis who expected to harvest 2O,0oO baskets thinks his damage will amount to 40 per cent of expected crop. Albert Peck, who looked Tor yield of 5000 baskets, suffered ern decIivity of his farm and had to | withstand the direct force of storm. He is almost distracted. Curtis, how l ever, thinks the loss will not be wholly loss, as the remaining frult will bring bettr prices aand less work. l The telephone lines did not suffer as much as apprehended, there being less than a dozen phones out of com mission Manager E.

WORTH WHILE HINTS FOR
WOMEN WHO SEW
BY Caroline Coe

A button hole should be made one
fourth of an inch larger than the but
ton that will be used in it. The silt"
must be clean cut and in a straight
line. If threads can be drawn it is a
good plan to do so and mark the size
of button hole desired, then snip the
drawn thread at the desired place
and cut the button hole with pair of
sharp shears or knife.
Now take the button hole firmly be-
tween the thumb and first finger of
your left hand, holding it so the edge
that has been cut extends about
quarter of an inch. Put the needle
through the goods, take up the thread
just behind the eye of the needle and
lay it around the point. Draw out
the needle and tighten the stitch so
the looped thread covers the cut edge
of the button hole. Repeat, taking
great care to make the stitches all
the same depth until the entire cut
edge is covered.

looks best to you it also looks best to

Have YOU Sent IN
YOURS AS YET !

A few days ago we published in
these columns an appeal for money to
help raise a debt of $1,000. Our pro-
position was to have IS people donate
each $500. We have had a few re-
spends, but expect to hear from sew
eral more within the next few days.
We know from experience that amidst
the rush and turmoil of this present
life one is apt to forget. Let this act
as a reminder.
We look upon debt as something not
in harmony with the spirit and pro
gress of the present times in religious
circles. We used to be able to boast
that 1--WE owe no man anything but
to love-" But when in the stiffness of
the night that deficit of $1,000 stares
me in the face. We owe the coal man
almost $40, and this is an item tn It
must be met, and the coal used has
been the means of keeping our Gospel
Hall warm day and night, where peo-
pie of all classes have congregated
and been blessed. There are also 9TH
er items covering the current expense
of our work that must be met within
the next few days. May we not hear
from you in the course of day or so.
