Severe Storm.
The hail storm in this neighborhood

The hail storm in this neighborhood
on Sunday night was quite severe and
damaged the growing crops, especially
around Groom. Lighting struck corn
house and stable on the farm of Miss
E. F. Moran, and tenented by Mr..
John Crosby. The building was destroy
ed together with a quantity of corn, TO-
bacco, harness, etc. A large barn on
the farm of Mr.. Charles Traband, filled
with last years tobacco, was blown
down by the high wind. A bolt of
lightning struck rain spout in the
rear of Mrs. S. E. Crandell's home
here, tore it off and passed through the
lower floor and out through a window
in binding flash. Mrs. Crandall and
her step daughter, Mrs. William Suit
were stunned but except for the fright
were not harmed. After a very hot
day a heavy rain visited this section
again on Monday night, accompanied
by much thunder and lightning, which
fortunately did no damage, as far as
we could learn.
The most severe wind and rain storm
that has visited this section in years,
began here about $50 Tuesday night
which lasted practically until dawn
Wednesday morning. The wind was
terrifying. but fortunately there was
No liobtpinu Crons were blown down

RATION DAY PARADE
aside from conducting demonstrations
and giving purely local advice, Is the
bringing Of the specialists of the Agri-
cultural College and the Department
into systematic touch with his people.
One Of these methods is the holding
Of county field days in the interest Of
better agricultural and demonstration
work. 1t results in bringing the agri-
cultural agencies to the farmer and
making him feel that their workers
were really at his service has never
companied by practical demonstra-
tons and are held at every convenient
place possible, such as cross roads,
school houses, village stores, picnic
grounds and often in the front yard of
some farm home. The speakers enter
quickly into the spirit of the occasion,
giving short, practical talks that the
listening farmers and their wives can
take right home and put into practice.
In explaining the handling of the
corn crop during the recent field days
in Worcester and Somerset counties,
the extension worker in farm crops
used sample ears brought him by
farmers to explain seed selection or
took his audience to the edge of
convenient corn field to point out to
them the advantage of a well-prepared
seed bed and proper cultivation. The
specialist in plant diseases explained
the practical points of scientific po-
tato growing. He carried with him a
sack of potatoes which he used to
show how to treat them for scab, how
to select marketable potatoes and how
to make hill selections for the i'm
provement Of seed.
The speaker on fruit and truck
crops gave practical advice on the
handling of the strawberry crop from
field to market right In sight of
number of fields where actual picking
was in progress. Growers present ex-
pressed their appreciation of the
value Of his instructions, only re-
GREETING that they had not had such
help long before.
The main benefits resulting were no
doubt that the workers of the Agricul-
tural College and Department of Agri-
culture actually met and talked with
the farmers of these two counties
right in their own surroundings and
became well acquainted. The work of
the county agent was also thoroughly
explained and demonstrated so the
people might realize how they could
best make use of his services and
through him of those of the State Col
tege and the Federal Department. In
the future all local agricultural work
by either of the above agencies will
be done in cooperation with the coun-
" agents wherever a county is far
sighted enough to have employed one.
thus securing for itself every benefit
Of the demonstration organization.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannc t
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiamed you have .rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can e
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of tea
are caused by Catarrh which is moth
ing but an infamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

with reasonable care they will usually

they begin the winter in poor shape

energy in keeping comfortable and
will have no surplus to put into egg
production.

Kansas House Takes Up Elec-
ton Bills This Afternoon.
FIELD DAY FOR THESE MATTERS
to 10 Per Cent of An
nual Income Considered.

Several bills dear to the heart OF the
state administration will be consider
ed late this afternoon under special
order for discussion OF all election bills
pending before the lower branch OF
the legislature. Among the measures
which may arouse q lighting spirit
among house members is the innocent
looking little bill by Lamb Of Mont
gomery. That bill merely provides
that the nOn-partisan ballot law shall
be bodily wiped off the statute books.
There are q dozen election bills be-
fore the legislature at this time and
nearly all Of them are matters OF more
than passing concern to the state ad-
ministration. For that reason the
house Republicans punched the meas
ures and called for a special order.
The field day for discussion of amend
ments to the present election laws will
probably draw a large crowd. A num-
Der Of measures are of more than
passing importance and should arouse
considerable oratory and some feel
ing-if the house really intends
to show more than passing interest In
any Legislative matter.
partisan ballot law is under third
reading. it will doubtless be called in
the list of special orders. Among
other election bills are: Elections of
candidates for congress in event OF
vacancies. non-partisan election OF
county superintendents, Malone sena-
torial election bill, limiting campaign
expenses to 10 per cent of annual in
come, abolition election commission
exempting women from stating exact
ages, and requiring posting printed
discussions Of all proposed constitu-
tional amendments.

RUSSIANS LOSE $4,000


NCOntIuU1Q Ifofn ksd80 0n0sJ
yesterday in the English channel. was
torpedoed.
An Athens dispatch states that a
formidable army has been assembled
for a new campaign against Servia.
This army is described as amounting
to 10000 men made up in part Of
Germans. The army, which Serbia
now has in the field. Is estimated at
about one-ha1f this size.
Waded Through Snow.
The unofficial reports received de-
clare that the Germans successfully
outflanked the, Russians. who believed
they were secure in their heavily en-
trenched position because Of the snow.
The German offensive was started on
February 6, when the left flank. COM
posed entirely of infantry. was start
ed through the snow that was at times
up to the waists OF the men. On one
Of their marches the trap was baited
and then the German cavalry was
sent out. It blew up and destroyed
the bridges along the Russian line of
communication.
Just as the attack was about to be
delivered, q thaw set in followed by
rain. The main Russian column was
partially enveloped before the COM
manding general realized what was
being done. He then ordered a pre-
cipitate retreat which almost resem-
bled a rout. The Russian commander
narrowly escaped capture. And that
the victory was not more complete
was due entirely to weather condi-
tons.
