RAIhED ICY BULLETS.
A HaiIstorm In the pyrenees Seems to
Be q Serious Matter.

In a letter to the London Times
a traveller told OF a hailstorm that
came upon his party a few years
ago in the PyreneeS. 1T was as if
night was devouring day before our
very eyes-a night, too, of tempest
and torn and trailing Clouds. Of
storm, smoke and thunder Mid.
way in the darkness was "the clear
cut straight line of cloud which i'll
variably tells of hail" Except for
the shelter Of small tree the trav-
elers were exposed to the storms
fury, and when they examined the
hailstones they found they were Of
the average size Of marbles, with a
scattering here and there Of much
larger stones, "as large as golf balls. !"
This, however, was merely the
prelude. The real storm came after
they had reached their tents. "Sud-
denly the whole land was bombarded
by great hailstones as large as lawn
tennis balls" These fell with deaf
ening roar on the canvas of the tent,
and ''it seemed only a matter of a
few seconds for us to be battered
into the earth, tent and ALL" An
india rubber bath in front of their
shelter, with its sides beaten down
in places, was half full of things like
white cricket balls"
When the storm had finally passed
the mountains around were white
with the hailstones. The hail was
weighed. ''Six stones went to the
hlo." The size was that of "a ten
mis- ball and almost uniform" Sew
enty sheep we're killed on the heights
above the travellers shelter, and in
a neighboring valley thirty-fve cows
and some mules and the body of a
child that had been wandering in
the mountains "were brought down
by a stream"

Queer Looking Worms.

New Zealand. Australia, the Sa-
moan and the Solomon islands, as
we'll as portions of the Hawaiian
group. are the homes of various spe-
cies of worms with thick, heavy
bodies and with well defined neck
connecting the body with head
that is startling reminder of that
of the monkey. In the Sandwich
Islands they are called "me-ta-lu-
ki," which means "creeper with
child's head" An old New Zealand
legend says that at one time they
were of immense proportions and
threatened the extinction of all hui
man life on the islands.

A Famous Widow.

One Of the most famous widows
of antiquity was Agrippina, the
widow Of Germanicus. During the
lifetime of her husband she attend
ed him in all his campaigns and
shared his dangers. Suspecting that
her husband had been poisoned, she
had his presumed murderer assassi-
mated and was herself soon after
treated with such indignity by Tt
berius that she was driven to de-
spair and starved herself to death.

Canada's Coal.

According to 'First Things In
Canada" compiled by the late
George Johnson, Dominion statisti-
clan, the first recorded mention OF
coal in Nova Scotia was in 1854.
"Coal was gathered in Nova Scotia
at very early date without mining,
mention being made of it in 1921.
Coal was shipped to France from
Cape Breton in 1743, as stated in a
letter from NJ. Duchambon to the
French minister"

1t is estimated that the first year
of our entry into the world war will
cost US about eighteen billion dol
lars. One billion dollars is sum so
stupendous that my mind cannot
grasp it. Should the war last two or
three years, our national debt will
be from sixty to seventy.fve Bill
lion dollars. All of this inconceivable
sum of money is a mortgage on your
property and mine. On your energy
and mine a tax on the laborer and
capitalist. until it is paid off Per-
hapsw we will be seventy years or more
in paying off bonds, pensions, soldiers
homes, etc. Far more pressing and
necessary today is the need to find
ways and means of defeating Ger
many.
How then can Dillou county, how
can you and l., do our bitw First,
we should come as near feeding our
selves as possible, so that other parts
of America can feed ouS Allies. and
other dependent nations. We can
increase our production by doubling
our energies. We need increased
production of everything-of wheat,
corn, oats, potatoes. hay, hogs, cows
poultry and all food crops. and then
if possible to increase our cotton crop.
When the war ends many people will
be cold and half naked as we'll as
hungry. For once no one cries over
production and poor markets in con-
sequence thereof. This is the best
period since the Civil War for far
mer to lay by something for a rainy
day. It i'll becomes farmer to COM

Probably none of US will ever live to
see times so prosperous for farmers.
God gives opportunity to most peo-
pie but once. Put on your thinking
cap and get ready to produce far
more next year than ever before in
your life. One curse of our farmers
has been cheap labor poorly directed.
Think out the quickest and best way
to do any particular kind of work
and make the job cheap by working
high priced labor under your leader.
ship as foreman. l think we shall
make money in 1918, but this Is not
what's worth counting-it is doubled
production. Take the best care of
your health; live in such a way as to
make of yourself the most efficient
human machine possible; see that
you are in the best of condition to
do your best every working day Of
the year. Remember the German
army of today would be impossible
if it were not for the wonderful
farming done by men over and un-
der the draft age, and by the women
and children. We that stay at nome
can make sacrifice by doing our best
to increase production of everything.

WELL, BE GOOD"

Probably the reason why men like
this little phrase is because of the sly
implication. When you meet some
one ON the street and talk to him a
while and then leave him and say,
We'll, be good" you infer that he's a
mettlesome rogue and likely to kick
over the traces at any moment.
Men like that. They like to have 1t
thought that there's quite a bit of the
gay dog in them. Say, well, be
good" to any man and he will be
pleased. On his way home he will
probably look at burlesque poster
with more than usual appreciation. At
home his wife is uneasy over the bit
Of swagger in his manner. He feels
inclined to order her around a little
or to start a row about something.
He'd like to show her he still has a
little red blood in him.
But of course he doesn't do all this
because the phrase is heard so often
that we disregard it's assumption.
Wives should be pleased that this is
so. Husbands should, too, for that
matter. Maintaining the reputation of
gay rascal is said to be q tiresome
business.
