CORN CROP
fcontinued From Page One

II It receives another rain in a few
weeks, these farmers believe the crop
will be a record breaker.
According to a number of local corn
growers last nights drenching shower
just about insures 1.-The making of
at least large portion of the Wayne
county crop In some sections corn
has matured to the stage that needs
but little moisture from now on.
Hagerstown Relieved.
Glenn Gaar and n. w. Thornburg,
who returned last evening from trip
through the corn belt between Rich
mond and New Castle, said that only
n drenching rain at once would save
the bulk of the crop in those sections.
This morning both Gaar and Thorn.
burg were of the opinion that today's
shower must have been most welcome
TO the farmers in the western part of
Wayne and the eastern sections of
Henry counties.
Farmers in the vicinity Of Hagers-
town were especially hard hit by the
drought Corn fields in Jefferson
township were beginning to wilt and
turn yellow from continued drought
and excessive heat.
Berry Crop Ruined.
Stephen Kuth, one Of the most
prominent farmers east of Richmond,
said today that the rain came too late
to help the berry crop. which is short
this season. Where % crates were
formerly picked, the yield will only
be about five crates.
The rain also was too late to help
the potato crop Farmers expect only
one-half of the yield OF early potatoes,
while many of them say the large
potato crop is a failure.
One farmer reported today that he
obtained only a bucket of potatoes
from hills which in other years would
have yielded bushel.
Corn in the south and southwestern
parts of the county has suffered some
what from the drought. 1t is thought
however. that with this mornings
rain. which was reported heavy south
of the city the crop will pick up at
once. In the opinion Of Henry Tie
man. Boston township. one more rain
will insure bumper crop for south
ern Wayne county farmers.
AlIeviates Fire Risk.
This mornings heavy shower went
a good way toward alleviating the
fears OF farmers. whose lands adjoin
railroads. Field fires in Wayne county
have been common during the past
few days and in some instances were
becoming a serious menace.
A large field fire which has been
raging along the Pennsylvania lines
lust west of Hagerstown, was ex.
tinguished by the heavy shower this
morning.
Farmers living along the G. E. o.
line, both north and south Of the city,
have been troubled by field fires ig-
nited by sparks from passing trains.

RICHMOND ASKS
FOR TOURNAMENT

Anticipating remonstrance on part
Of the New Castle basketball faction
Principal Pickell, Of the Richmond
high school has already taken steps to
secure the Sixth district basketball
tournament for Richmond next spring
Mr. Pickell believes that Richmond
will again be awarded the honor.
In a communication to permanent
Secretary Trester, of the I. H. S. A. A.,
Principal Pickell asks that Richmond
again be accorded the privilege OF
acting host to the Sixth district high
school teams. It is understood that
Secretary Trester is to reply favorably
to the local bid.
New Castle, it is understood. is the
only other city of the district that will
make bid for the tourney. With the
completion of the New Castle Coli
scum, N. H. S. now has suitable place
for the event.
Richmond is the logical place for
the tournament" said Principal Pickell
this morning. Richmond is centrally
located, easily accessible and has every
facility to stage the tournament l be-
lieve the 1917 meet will be awarded to
Richmond"

Many headaches are OF neuralgia

aches are intense and lingering pains

head.
There is one certain relief that has

years back, Sloan's Liniment. One ap-
plication and the dull pain is practical

M'BRIOE DONS TOES

Basketball stock at Richmond high
school took a sharp turn upward last
night, when Karl Mcbride, a guard.
and mainstay of the Seconds last year,
donned the war toys and turned out

fifty r. II. S. aspirants. McBride's
comeback means much to the local

LOCAL FANS PULLED
HARD FOR DODGERS

Richmond was for Brooklyn yester-
day.
Perhaps the result of the first game
Saturday when more or less lucky
breaks gave the Red Hose an edge or
the mere fact that the Dodgers appear
to be the "under-dog' to more or less
extent, caused the local fraternity to
shift its sympathies from the Boston
to the Brooklyn camp. At any rate
the crowd was with Brooklyn yester-
day-and wasn't bit backward about
expressing it's sympathies either.
When Harry Myers damned out his
circuit drive the demonstration took
on the aspect of an old-time political
rally. But when Scott and Thomas,
of the Sox, showed out their abnormal
swipes, the air remained surcharged
with a quietness closely resembling
that of a country chourch yard on a
Monday evening. '-.s
There was no doubt about it, Rich
mond was for Brooklyn yesterday.
