W. r. H0vETTER WRITES FROM W. VA.
Crops Good Up There, But Early Cold
Cut Short Yield.

Amboy,. West Virginia. Nov. 30,
1917. Dear Editor Thanksgiving
this year finds this part of West Va.
covered with snow. We have been
having snow every few days since
Oct. 6, but only about IA inches deep
at any one time. am SO glad that
the people of old Greene have made
good crops this year. The crops
was fine out here. but the corn was
very badly damaged in this county
by killing frost September 10, also
gardens.
Wheat, buck wheat and Irish po-
tato crops we're fine also oats and
hay there is only about months of
the year here warm enough for farm
ing but believe me the farmer knows
how to hustle. they do not idle away
any time. September and October
brings the harvest weather, sight
worth seeing to one that never saw
| it like myself, but then after all work
and no play is over with comes the
long winter months with well filled
wood houses of coal and wood to
make warm fires, while away in eel
lars are stored bushels of fine juicy
apples to eat as they are very pen-
tifuI here. The barns and silos have
been well filled for the stock to eat
during the wluter also the cellars
aud pantrys have been filled boom
ing full of good things for the family
TO eat, also the meat houses with
fine hams and shoulders of meat to
help out too, they generally sell or
render into lard the middling meat
as they think it too greasy to eat,
(of course that is all right when one
has something better)
We Will move IRON this place next
week f the weather permits near
Rowles burg, w Va, on farm
where we are going TO hustle next
summer.
Wages are good here but the
farmers are in the lead; | think the
day has come when the farmers. all |
over this land of ours will stand in |
front of the canvass instead of be- |
hind it. Girls had better be learn
ing how to farm soon If this terrible /
war holds on for they may have to
take the mems and BOYS places in the
field There are hundreds of girls |
in this state that are filling mems
places in the factories, shops and |
other public works in their blue over
alls. getting the same wages that
men are getting.
Will close asking you to send my |
paper TO my new address below as
we can t hardly do without it; you
will find 81 enclosed to pay for 1t the
next IL months.

Legro escapar ell "Kroonland' {
la obstinada persecution de

NUEVA YORK, JUNO 4.-Dos
submarines alemanes concertaron y
llevaron a efecto un ataque sobre ell
vapor americana "Kroonland" duran
te Ell ultimo viaje que dicho vapor
hizo de este puerto a uno de Europa,
segun Sc supo hoy en- esta ciudad,
por ,un americana que ACADIA de re-
gresar de I%nglaterra.
Ell vapor mencionado Sc hallaba
cerca de las costas inglesas, cuando
dos torpedos fueron lanzados stimuli
taneamente por dos submarines que
Sc hallaban sumergidos y situados
respectivamente a ambos lados del
barco. Los %proyectiles a~fortunada-
mente no hicieron blanco, habiendo
pasado ambos a una distancia menor
de veinte pies delante de la proa. Ell
Kroonland que va habia emprendido
a sus maquinas toda la velocidad de
que podian disponer, siguio su curse
a todo vapor, pero imprimiendole al
barco luego una ruta en- forma de
zig-zag para hacer mas dificil para
los atacantes Ia punteria de los dis
paros.
No habia pasado mucho ratio del
lanzamiento de los dos primeros tor
pedos. cuando otros dos fueron dis
parados. pero como los antericres,
uno de ellos no hizo blanco y ell otro
logr6 tocar ell casco del vapor pero
tan debilmente que ell golpe no fue
suficiente para hacer estallar ell pro-
yectil.
Los artilleros del Krooniand, abrie,
ron ei fuego de los canones con que
Sc halla armada ell citado barco, con-
ira ell enemigo invisible, enviando va
rias granadas explosives en- Ia direc-
ci6n en- que calcularon que podian en-
contrarse los submarines, cuando los
torpedos fueron lanzados, direction
que aproximadamente pudieron cal

torpedos mismos, sobre la superficie
