Cheerfulness in Warm Weather.

That dry sultry weather has an
exciting tendency on the nerves of
laborers many have testified. Even
those who do not have the opportu>
nifty to work in the fields aha opell
country but must endure the wor-
ries and monotony of office life
feel discomfort IN summer when the
weather is uncomfortable and their
neighbors are likewise nervous.
The state of mind has much to
do with ones comfort and content
ment. This being true effort should
be made to be cheerful and hopeful
whatever may be the prospects for
crops or the general conditions of
business.
So long as people are c%ontented
and submissive to conditions over
which they have no control they are
likely to be cheerful and hopeful
and thus enjoy life. Health is in
some way dependent upon such a
state of mind, at least one a pro-
mote health by such views and feel
ings.
We owe something to our neigh
bors. To lie of a help to them we
should be cheerful and submissive
to our environments. The reward for
such is better health and greater
eficiency.-Farm & Ranch.

GERMAN AIR RAID
INFURIATES LONDON

London, July 10.-Indifferent to
steady downpour of rain, which lasted
the whole day, many thousands visit
ed the area where bombs fell Saturday.
The damage consisted mainly of
broken glass and window framing.
The actual material damage effected
was comparatively insignificant
which tends to prove that the bombs
carried by the airplanes were far less
destructive than those dropped previ-
ously in the Zeppelin raids.
Although the loss of life was con-
siderably less than on the previous
airplane raid Saturdays attack ap-
pealed more to the popular imagina-
ton, owing to the peculiar circum-
stances and temerity of the raiders
in flying low. Little less is talked of
but the impunity with which the raid
ers set about their task and it is GER
tain the government will have to meet
strong criticism both in the press and
in parliament. The feeling in parlia-
mentary circles is rapidly growing in
favor of vigorous reprisals.
A score of enemy machines was
able to operate with calm impunity
and it is asked what will happen If
200 come, or. as the Koelnische lei
tung recently urged, thousand.

CHINESE EMPEROR QUITS
Hsuan Tune Abdicates When imperial
Army is Defeated.

London, July l0.-The abdication of
Hsuan Tung, the youthful emperor,
who was placed on the throne OF China
only week ago by General Chang
Hsun, it is indicated by press dis
patches from Peking, followed the de-
feat OF the imperialistic forces at Lang
fang and the desertion of many OF
Chang Hsun's soldiers.
II appears that General Chang
Hsun, depressed by the failure of his
attempt to restore the monarchy, ten
dered his resignation to the emperor,
who thereupon issued an edict an
nouncing his abdication.

Felt for Great Distance.

Vallejo, Cal, July 10.-An explosion,
origin as yet unannounced, destroyed
the black powder storehouse of the
Mare island navy yard.
Eight persons are missing and it is
feared they were killed
Since the United States entered the
war all entrances to the navy yard
have been carefully guarded.
Thirty injured persons have been
taken to the navy yard hospital
Workmen returning to Vallejo,
across the straits from the yard. say
nearly all the houses occupied as
residences by officials and workmen
in the immediate vicinity of the maga-
zine were destroyed or badly shat
tered
1t is impossible to get details be-
cause of the strict censorship estab-
lshed by the navy department at the
beginning of the hostilities with Ger
many and which is still in effect.
So terrific was the blasts that
houses in South Vallejo, across the
straits facing the yards where the
magazine is located, were badly dam
aged Most of them had their fronts
blown in and several were unroofed.
The roof of the roundhouse in that
city was blown off
A few minutes after the explosion
all the naval officers at Mare Island
and about | 900 marines and other re-
eruits were hurried to the scene
The blast was heard as far away rs

rocked and dishes shaken from
shelves 1t was also felt in Oakland
