Heavens Weep and Weeds
Gfow Up in the Corn Fields
Wcttest June for Several
Years May Yet Break
Records.

Since the famous wet" June OF
1914, which was the last month before
She Yost prohibition amendment to
West Vinginia's constitution went into
effect, the present June Is probably
the most wet.
Truly this month has had so much
rainfall that those every present per-
sons who delight in perpetrating para
phrases OF the. great poets are saying,
20 what Is more rare than q day this
June when the sun shines"
Yesterday. the. sun did shine and for
twelves hours there was no rainfall.
This is the longest dry period. OF the
month that has been recorded so far.
June is popularity supposed TO be Q
ara a;.ai,th IN Hhieii % eet laWyted or
to hoe corn. While the rain has not
seemed to affect the percentage Of
marriages yet It has affected the corn
crop and the lack OF sunshine has
retarded the growth OF the corn. yet
has not seemed TO affect the weeds
that are always found in the corn
fields. The other crops have probably
been more benfitted than damaged by
the heavy rainfall and this promises
to be a bumper year in the state. =
June last year. while adcool month
was considerably drier than usual the
average precipitation for the month
being only $685. The average precipi-
tation for the past twenty-five days is
4.43. The weteest June according to
the statistics of the u. s.. Weather
Bureau was in. 1907 when the average
precipitation for the month will have
an even higher average. than. this. II
the present wet weather. continues.
This is not likely however, as the, law
Of probabilities and the patent medt,
cine almanacs both say that the. lat.
ter portion Of this month will be dry
and warm with all the rain saved up
until the Fourth OF July. ~ ;.

PATRIOTIC CAKE
PICNIC II FEATURE !. |
Agricultural Clubs Of Linz
coin District Had Old
fashioned Outing.

About 40 boys and girls belonging
to the Agricultural clubs OF Lincoln
district met at the East Run school
building Monday for picnic to cele-
brate the fifty third birthday OF our
state. Although the rain came down
in torrents during the morning the
boys enjoyed themselves playing <bas-
ket bail and .volley ball I'm the old
school building. A few OF the good
people Of Eas Z Run came in about the
noon hour, and brought with them
great baskets full Of provisions. All
Of the food that the boys had brought
and the food the neighbors brouxhs
was put together Just like an old.time
picnic.
When the club memberslwere called
to dinner they found an Eundremed OF
feast awaiting them. One very at,
tractive feature OF the dinner was .
magnificent white cake made by Miss
Rhoda Atha. II had SO small United
States flags grouped very artisticaliy
around the top. 4 When cut Il was
found to be composed OF three layers,
the first red, the. second white and the
third blue. Eeach boy and girl was
given asfiagTto wear as q souvenir.
she afternoo n was. spent playing base
ball, basket ball and other games.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed these
games, and played with as much en-.
thusiasm as two league teams could
possibly muster. ~ 3
viii Atha, Mrs. George Fortney,
and Miss Rhoda Atha were the grown
up visitors who helped SO materially
with the lunch and made the boys feel
that the old time hospitality has NOT
been forgotten in some localities. Tho
club agent and the members Of club
expressed their appreciation for the
assistance tthesse people rendered In
making the outing such success
Lester Atha, local club president, did
his part by seeing that everything
was well arranged for the picnic.

tBy Associated Pressy

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-strong
pressure is being brought to bear on
General Carranza by representatives
OF European powers to prevent him
from forcing a break with the United
States.
Indirect reports reaching the State
department today told OF these ef-
forts and said ther was possibility
they would be successful Agencies
of the entente allies are understood
toibe active for peace particularly be-
cause they believe German influence
has sought to tnflame the Mexican gov.
sernment against the United States
with a view TO prevent this country
from gathering in trade formerly con-
trolled by Germany in Mexico, south
and Central America.
q; IL Is reported that Carranza might
iayold war by calling for an Interna.
tional commission to discuss the
border situation as provided for in the
treaty of ls4s. ~
So far however no suggestion for
such q step has come from Mexico.
Aldefinite statement has ben re-
ceiyed that Gen. Carranza Is doing all
In his power at; this time to project
Americans In Mexico from attacks BY
the ipopulRce. He Is said to have Civ.
en- Snecialf Agent Rodgers In Mexico
City fall the aid in his power in ar
ranging for trains to carry american
refugees from the interior 10 Vera
Cruz.
In some quarters here this was con.
ct, od as avtdap that ha 10 mt hon.
upon provoking hostilities.
The state department has no advi.
ces bearing out these hopeful indica.
tion except that from Special Agent
Rodgers announcing the progress OF
his efforts to get American citizens
out,
With the full consent OF the Car.
rama authorities, he said. and the
promise Of adequate protection from
possible bandit attacks he had arran.
ged for special train to leave Mexico
I city tomorrow carrying American to
Vera Cruz.
Marching orders for National guard
organization summoned to the colors
under President Wilson's call are still
up at the War department pending the
completion OF mobilization Of the
troops at state camps. Just as soon
as o sufficient number Of guardsmen
have been mustered into the Federal
service the War department will act
on General Funston's, reports OF yes.

had. surreptitiously for the most
part, but also in some cases and un-

knowledge OF the authorities, but at
prices which limit sale to people OF

possible, in Petrograd and & Moscow,
for instance, where the. ban, even on
wines, is strict. to purchase wines In
certain hotels but they may be served
only in private rooms, and the priyi-
leges enjoyed by these institutions are
frequently interrupted by the police
