DANGERS OF OVER CONFIDENCE

No greater calamity could overtake this country than for our people to become possessed of the erroneous be- lief that the war is as good as won and that further strenuous exertion is unnecessary.
 The war is not won, and unless all indications are misleading, is not likely to be won soon. The forces contending for victory are far too evenly matched for either to obtain any decided victory.
 Every man, woman and child in this country should nerve themselves, con- stantly remind themselves that their utmost exertion and sacrifice is i'm peratively demanded. Any other at titude must result in a weakening of the will to win, and a consequent slackening of effort-and these at this stage of affairs would be fatal to our cause
 Of course it is barely possible that some fortunate circumstance may be- fall to throw victory to our aims, but this is extremely unlikely until we have greatly increased our strength on the fighting front.
 So let us reach out after four or five millions of fighting men, put them on the front, and then sustain them. It must not be said that America, a nation that has never yet done things by halves, has now taken up the prac- tice. We will have peace when our arms enforce it-not before.

NATURE 0UTD0ES FICTION IN
VEGETABLE GROWTH.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and
always more convincing. Freaks of
all kinds, in the human race, the
vegetable and animal world, continue
to hold their places as convincing
proof of the old adage.
One Of the most remarkable freaks
in the way of ahybrid plant was re-
Gently shown to a NEWS man by
Mr.. j. e. Taylor, engineer at the seed
cleaning plant OF <. F. Spears &
Sons, near the Third street freight
station of the L. & N.
Some time ago Mr.. Taylor's atten-
ton was attracted. to a peculiar look
ing plant growing from a pile Of re-
fuse on the dump" at the seed plant.
On this dump" all the refuse from
the seed that has been cleaned is
thrown. The plant bore signs of
budding flowers of some kind, and
Mr.. Taylor watched its growth with
mingled curiosity and interest. The
plant grew and grew overnight like
Jacks beanstalk, until one morning
6 few days ago remarkable sight
greeted Mr.. Taylor when he paid a
visit of inspection to the place. On
one side of the heavy stalk there was
a number of fully developed old-fash-
toned hollyhocks, such as grand
mothers used to raise in their back
yards. On the other side was a large
number of what appeared to be chest
nut burrs, having growth Of spiney,
needle-like stickers exactly resem-
bling the mountain product. The top
of the plant had bloomed out in large
white and cream colored flowers, of
an unknown species.
Mr.. Taylor called several local
botanists, but none Of them could ac-
count for the strange growth or give
1t a name. They readily recognized
thes hoHyhocks, but the other
growths were outside their under
standing. The supposftion is that
the plant is the result of combina-
ton Of seeds gathered by the strip
pers when stripping the blue grass
seed from the fields in which they
had lain. When thrown out with the
rest of the ehaff by mere chance the
seeds were combined, giving forth
the remarkable freak growth which
Mr.. Taylor now cherishes.

WIND, HAIL, RAIN AND LIGHT
MING HOLD REVELS.

Tobacco, corn and other growing
crops were blown down, and large
quantities of fencing and other prop
erty in the county was considerably
damaged by a storm of rain and
wind, accompanied by lightning and
hail which swept over a portion Of
the county late Friday afternoon.
Slight damage was also done to the
crops of the county late Friday after
noon. Slight damage was also done
to the crops in other parts of the
county, but the storm seemed to have
veered toward North Middletown,
and to have wreaked the greatest
destruction in that neighborhood.
The storm was especially severe in
the vicinity Of the Xalapa Farm, the
beautiful country estate of Mr.. Ed
ward Simms, on the North Middle
town pike, between Paris and North
Middletown. A large number of
shade trees were uprooted by the
force of the wind. A large tobacco
barn under construction on the
Simms place was lifted from its foun-
dation and moved distance Of ten
feet by the windstorm. In many
places the water stood halfway up
the young tobacco and corn plants,
and branches became creeks, while
creeks were swollen almost to the
proportions of rivers in places. The
hail cut the tobacco to scraps in sew
eral fields. The storm was not felt
in Paris, where there was only a
slight rainfall, with no evidence OF
wind.
