ICE LAST NIGHT AND
ALSO A HEAVY FROST
Vegetation and Flowers ''Nipped' in
the Coolest Weather Of The Au- Z
tumn Thus Far.

The coolest weather of the present
autumn set in last night on the crest
OF northwest wind that rfollowed the
rain storm from the southwest In the
afternoon. There was heavy frost.
and ice formed in many sections of the
county. The frost was one of the
killing variety, and another of the
sort is predicted for tonight.
As result of last nights condie.
tions, vegetation and flowers, suffered
heavily, The potato crop, of course,
was the principal one that suffered, al
though the freeze was not sufficiently
nsrd to cause much actual damage.
The vines in several sections Of the
county were touched by the frost of
several days ago, but the colder spell
that now prevails has moved the farm
ers to gather in the "spuds.'
Bouquets of flowers that were seen
n the markets this morning furnished
mute evidence of the killing" frost.
The petals of chrysanthemums and
dahlias were blackened around the
edges. Therefore, the florists and
nousekeepers who raise such flowers,
made a rush to cut them before worse
conditions set in.

Expect Good Response From
Farmers In Loan Campaign

In the First Liberty Loan Campaign,
many of the farmers of the country
were not reached, and subscriptions
from the rural committees were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of which was that the
Loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops, and
il was difficulc for the canvassers to
interview them. Then, too, they had
10 borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are in, and at the
present high price of food stuffs,
they should have large sum of money
in their hands. For loan of por-
tion of that money, the Liberty Bond
campaigners are now appealing all
over the country. The various farm
bureaus and societies are cooperating
and good results are expected.
Albert Z. Msnp, Dean of the New
York College of Agriculture, is one of
those who have been active in this
work. Speaking of the loan and the
farmers share in it he said to-day:
ssNhen liberty came to America,
the farmer helped to bring it, he
bore the gun, he contributed unspar-
incIy of his substance, he fed the
armies. In the present struggle for
universal liberty, am sure that ne
will do no less. He has already made
splendid response to the demand for
greater food production. | look with
confidence on his generous contribu-
tion to the Liberty Losn The first
Loan largely overlooked the farmer;
the efforts were concentrated in the
cities. The second campaign should
give every opportunity for farmers SIS
indiyiduals and in their organizations
to support the Government in its
finsncial program. It is the highest
expression Of Americanism that all
the people should help carry the com.
Non load in this critical hour.

Will be the verdict of history that the
defeat of Germany was made in the

contribution of sea power.
Against sea power Germany had
devised the submarine, or rather she
had relied upon the submarine. In
her plans it played the part of the

do was to prey upon commerce, upon

out imports she would starve to death.
Yet despite sll the sensational sue

1t has not even interrupted the flow of
