Ora Smith Is In a very serious con-
dition, having been rescued from
pond where he was deposited by the
playful wind siant
Smith has been erecting house
for himself, south Of the city, doing
most Of the work during leisure hours.
This afternoon when the storm
struck that vicinity he was placing a
door In position. The door was torn
from the hinges.
Smith and the door were thrown
high in the air, carried across a road
and dumped in the cold waters Of a
pond several yards distant Persons
outside the storm area ran to Smiths
assistance and pulled him from the
water.
SMITH RESCUED FROM POND
Rescuers said Smith, whose condi.
ton is considered fatal, would have
died Immediately If he had not been
rescued.
He was unable to swim because Of
his injries.
People Of Hagerstown feared for a
time that the entire town would be
destroyed by the tornado which was
bearing down upon 1t from New Castle.
tn dark funnel was first discovered
headed for town at 3:15 o'clock. As it
approached rapidly, CONSERVATION
filled the hearts Of the entire popula-
ton as It seemed Inevitable that the
full force Of the wind would tear a
swath right through the center Of the
town.
STORM sWERvEs At eEIsLER's
HILL
Reaching the crest Of GeisIer's hill,
Just west Of the city, when hope had
been abandoned by the people, who
felt themselves in trap, the storm
was DETECTED southwark and contin-
ued its course just outside the corpor-
alton limits a short distance.
Ed Brock in his house, hundred
yards from the stable, saw the storm
pick up the barn and then hurl it to
the ground where the pieces flew like
a flock of pigeons" as he described the
scene. The house was only slightly
damaged, some Of the window panes
being broken by the eddies Of wind
which formed the fringe of the main
storm.
WREsTED FROM FOUNDATION
William Thomas home was jerked
from its foundations and badly DAM
aged on the inside, plastering being
wrcnched from the walls. The family
was not at home at the time.
Cement.bIock construction saved
the residence Of John r. Adams, but
the wind after breaking out window
glass, rolled carpets upon the floors and
scattered furniture about the rooms in
heaps.
Mr.. Adams was struck and slightly
cut by pieces Of glass.
STARTS TO LEAVE HOUSE
Terrified by the APPROACH Of the
storm, Mrs. Adams started from the
house into the open, directly in the
path Of the on-rushins tornado.
Mr.. Adams to save his wife was
compelled forceably to hold her in the
house. Had she gone outdoors, she
would probably have met instant
death.
After demoIishing the barn a short
distance Of the house, the cyclone now
ed lane through a heavily wooded
tract Of land on the Adams farm.
TAKE REFUGE IN BASEMENT
Joe Goodbar and his wife, tenants in
the Perry Holiday farm, fled with a
man by the name of Kirby to the cellar
when the storm struck the house,
which is one-half mile south Of town.

BEAUTIFY THE LAWN
BY FLOWERING SHRUBS

Hardy towering shrubs grouped in
irregular clumps and masses add
greatly to the attractiveness of the
lawn, and require but slight care after
the first year. There is small initial
cost, and while some hoeing is nee
essary the first year or two, little at
tention will be required afterward ex-
cept to prune the shrubs each year.
For such planting the Ohio Expert
ment station recommends the follow
ing as satisfactory: Spirea Van Hout-
tel, hydrangea paniculata granditiora,
Japan SNOWFALL, rugosa rose, lilac,
Lady Stanley althea, bush honey
suckle Morrowi Thunberg's 1arberry,
Thunberg's spirea and spirea Anthony
Waterer. The first seven are medium
sized to large shrubs and should stand
at least five feet apart in the mass.
The last three are smaller, suitable
as a border to any Of the preceding
ones and should be spaced three feet
apart.

CLAIMS PROVE UNTRUE
FOR NEW GRAIN DRILLS

Claims of unusual yields made for a
new kind of grain drill that distrib-
utes seed in rows four inches apart,
instead of eight inches as the ordi-
nary implements do, appear exagger-
ated in the light of recent tests made
with these machines at the Ohio EX-
pertinent station. Under carefully con
Quoted tests in drilling oats and
wheat, the ordinary drills have proved
as efficient as the new makes recently
put on the market.
AS an average of two years tests
comparing S-inch and 4-inch drilling
of oats, at the rate of five pecks per
acre in 1916 and both six and eight
pecks in 1916, gain Of 3.7l bushels
per acre was obtained in favor of s.
inch drilling.
In 1915 both kinds of drills were
tested in seeding wheat, at the rates
of 65 and As pecks per acre. A diff
ference of less than a bushel was Sc
cured in favor of the ordinary S-inch
drilling.

SPRAY TREES EARLY
FOR LARGE FRUIT CROP

Now is the time for the fruit grower
to make big cut in high food prices
for this fall, by increasing yields
through little timely spring work.
Early spraying to kill scale insects
before any leaves appear may be the
difference between success and failure
in his fruit crop. Entomologists at
the Ohio Experiment station say that
80 per cent of all the good from spray
ing comes from that done in March,
April and May.
All fruit trees, except sour cherries,
since they are seldom attacked, by
San Jose scale, should be sprayed
with either commercial concentrated
lime-sulphur solution diluted with {
parts of water, or good miscible oil
diluted with Is parts of water, during
March or April before the leaves ex-
pand. The experts say it is better to
spray even as late as when the bios
SONS are showing pink than to omit
this spray for trees infested with
scale. The material may be applied
with either hand or power sprayer.
Thoroughness of application is essen
tial to success in controlling scale
insects.

plated, says editorially:
Our word to the, people of Italy is

come In the truest9 sense the Isonzo

but there is the utmost need for
promptitude and broadness of vision

to have British or French divisions or
both in north italy in a very short

the allies to consider how best to
succor Italy. thinks it is impossible to
send direct relief on the scale the
situation demands:

army has proved its courage and de-
votion so often in this war that a
