Morning Glor;es Are
Pest IN Corn Fields

Wild morning -glories, more or less
common pest on farms. have become a
real nuisance and In some cases a
menace in fields. II Is said that morn
ing glories are more prevalent this
spring than in any recent year. and In
some cases they have become so widely
and thickly seeded as seriously to in
terfere with cultivation of crops, The
morning glories have tlour!shed Won
derfully In the cool, wet weather and
have grown so rapidly that IN some
corn fields the rows Of corn can not
be seen for the morning glory vines
that are crowding them.
Continued rains are proving serious
hindrance in working the corn fields
In the last week, when practically all
Of the young corn was ready to be
cultivated the ground was no sooner
vators could be worked than II has
rained again. AS a result not only
morning glories but other weeds have
made much growth. Another him
drance that the farmers have found Is
that when the ground dried 1t dried so
rapidly that 1t has been impossible to
get over all the field as quickly as the
suit has been the uncultivated portions
have caked The frequent rains have
somewhat improved this condition
while at the same time making the
weeds grow.

HAIL DOES DAMAGE.
Injuries Corn and Fruits and Breaks
Windows South Of City.

Hail. accompanying a thunder storm
that swept over the city and it's vicin-
ity did considerable damage south and
southeast of the city early this morn
ing. AS far as could be learned today
the district where the damage was
done is a comparatively small one in
the southeastern part of Timber Creek
township and the southwestern part of
LeGrand township.
Windows were broken and corn,
fruits and vegetables were damaged in
some cases seriously so. At the L. D.
Hampton farm, three and one-half
miles south of the city, the fall of hail
was heavy Mr.. Hampton estimated
about one fifth Of his corn was dam
aged. In the same neighborhood some
trees We're denuded of leaves and much
fruit was pelted from the trees and
bushes. Eight dollars worth of window
glass was broken in the house.
Mr.. Hampton said this morning he
found hail stones drifted up against the
north side of the barn to a depth of six
or eight inches, Some of the stones he
said were as large as hens eggs.
The strip of territory swept in this
neighborhood was about half mile
wide, but it extended farther east. At
the R. G. Tweed farm. one and one
half miles southeast of the Hampton
place, the fall Of hail was very heavy
and the damage done was considerable
In this city the fall Of hail was very
light.

JOFFREs WEST POINT KISS.
An Incident Of NIarshars Tour That
Was Missed by Reporters.

New York Times: The Times ac.
count of Marshal Joffre's visit to West
Point omitted the most important, al
belt wholly unrehearsed and unpreme II.
tated feature of a day crowded with
historic incident. 1t happened at the
official residence of the gallant super
intendent of the United States Military
Academy. Colonel Biddle.
When Joffre tripped lightly up the
steps of the superintendent's residence
he found there a small number of
ladies, mostly wives of those on the en-.
tertainment committee. One of these,
however. was Nine. Vauthier, whose
husband is French instructor at the
post. 1t was n moment of profound
emotion, many ladies were in tears.
there were moist eyes among the men:
one lady broke down completely at the
sight of the grand old warrior who had
saved France and the worlds Ideals
during the days of Marne.
Nine. Vauthier, in accents vibrating
with the love of her native land and
it's representative, whispered to him
who stood nearest:
"oh, that I might kiss him in the
name of every woman here"
Who could resist such winged words
-feathered with French poesy. sharp.
ened by Partisan wit So, seizing the
arm Of the French giant, l said: Hero,
general, is the lady who would salute
you in the name OF the women of
France"
The old general burst forth into his
glorious fatherly smlle-that benedic
tion of the eyes which has earned for
him the affectionate soubriquet of Papa
Joffre, and folding the beautiful aul
blushing Nine. Vauthier in his shelter
ing arms, pressing her against the
soldiers coat that symbolizes honor and
victory. gave her two resounding kisses
one on each cheek.
Then he gazed far away-his spirit
sending the godlike greeting TO the
brave mothers at home; and then ne
strobe away to pass in review the real
soldiers of our army, the men of the
West Point breed.
And Nine. Vauthler stood gazing
from eyes whose lighr penetrated to the
Vosges and the Pyrenees, and half
to herself she murmured: "It would
be sacrilege to ever wash away such
kisses" But tears came TO her relief.

their hideous nightly concerts without
