SENSE AND NONSENSE

Rain alarms are now made for peo-
pie who wish to leave the windows Of
their homes open all night, yet fear
that a rainstorm may come up in the
night, and the drops blow in. The
alarm is a little buzzer inclosed in a
wooden box, which is to be placed on
the window sill.
When rain blows in the first drops
on the top of the box switch on an
electric current from a battery in the
box and the alarm begins to sound. At
the same time q tiny electric light ap-

any person who is wakened by the

Hot Weather Saves Hay Crop.

Albany, 0r.--All danger of damage
to the hay crop in this section has been
averted by the recent hot weather. Had
the rains continued, the injury would
have been serious. The present hot
weather not only prevents further dam
age, but will mitigate what loss was
threatened by the rains. Farmers re-
port that few more warm days will
put all of the wet hay in shape for bal
ing and that practically no,loss will
result. The weather is also exactly
what was needed to ripen grain. The
harvest will be little late.
