STORM PASSES
OVER COUNTY
Biggest Hailstorm on Record To.
day. Horses in Pasture Bad
w Beaten.

A wind and hail storm, unusual in
its nature fol-, this time of the year,
passed over the county from the south
west to the north east this morning
about ten o'clock. Reports from north
of Raymond, from Eagle Lake and
Spicer tell of heavy hail and at places
heavy wind. In the city there was no
storm and every one was surprised to
hear that trees and telephone poles
had been blown down along state
road and the boat house lifted at the
State Farm.
Mr.. Miller from five miles south
of Pennock tells that the wind blew
things around quite lively at his farm
and that there was heavy hail near
his place.
Russell Carlson of Ringo Lake had
an experience driving with a loaded
cattle rack thru the Eagle Lake woods.
When the heavy hail began to fall he
had difficulty to control his horses as
they went on a dead run for a mile or
more thru the woods. He says it was
so dark he could hardly see the road.
His statement is that halls fell which
| were bigger than a mans fist.
| Mr.. Hookum, north Of Green Lake,
measured hail eight inches in circum-
ference His statement is borne out
by others in that locality.
Windows are out in the Nest Lake
school house. Hail lay three inches
deep on the ground in that locality.
Parties from Norway Lake tell of
passing thru the hail storm in an auto
and that the hailstones drove thru the
cover Of their car. One report tells
of hail stone breaking in the top
of the cab on a motor truck.

Pecan Growers Meet to
Plan Greater Business

Pecan growers of Georgia and Flor
ida met in annual session in ITALIA
hassee last week and the proceedings
were of great interest, not only to
those directly engaged in the bust
ness but to all who are interested in
the general progress of the two
states. The growing and marketing
of pecans has become more
than side issue in this state
and is steadily advancing to assume
great proportions in time, says the
Florida Times Union. There are al
ready many fine groves in Florida,
and the product is in great demand
everywhere. During the past season
some new groves came into bearing
and the production of nuts was
greatly in excess of any previous
year-but the demand was strong
throughout and there was never any
doubt about getting good prices for
them. The meeting of the growers
resulted in the exchange of ideas and
advice and the strengthening of the
faith of the men who have undertake
en- to furnish great quantity of this
splendid food product for general
CONSUMPTION.

Remarkable Repairs
Made on Steamship

What naval and seafaring men
said was an impossible welding feat
has been successfully accomplished
in Brooklyn, and a new departure in
marine repair work marked the sec
ond launching of the British tramp
steamer Lord Dufferin when she slid
down the ways Wednesday morning
with a new stern which had been
welded to the remainder of the boat
in the remarkably short period of
two months.
The Lord Dufferin was anchored
off Liberty light in dense fog when
she was rammed by the Cunard lin
er Aquitania, inward bound, and
sixty-foot slice of her stern end was
neatly pared off. Marine men said
at the time that it would be impos-
sible to put the Lord Dufferin in
commission again by repairs and that
it was destined for the ship grave
yard.
However, the work was carried to
a successful completion. Among the
interested spectators at the launch
ing today were party of Japanese
including several shipbuilders, and
representatives from the United
States navy department. The YES
sci was duly named with bottle OF

GOVERNMENT TO FIGHT WHITE
PLAGUE: 100000 VICTIMS

Alarmed by the loss of man power
caused by tuberculosis during the
war, Uncle Sam is polishing up the
NJ. D., which is among the many let
tiers that follow his name, and pre-
pairing to take leading part in the
national program for the prevention
of the disease.
Final tabulation of the draft re-
ject slips, just completed reveals:
$4,000 men were rejected when called
for service in the national army be-
cause medical examination showed
they had tuberculosis.
Another 10000 men were diScharg-
ed at army camps for the same rea-
son.
Six thousand, still in service, are
special tuberculosis hospital.
AS these figures show, the govern
ment, at a time of a great national
emergency, was robbed of the serv-
ices of approximately enough men

been made in the control of the dis

are eight active cases.
This indicates that at the present
time there are in the United States
at least 100000 active cases of the
white plague.
At the annual meeting of the Ma

Atlantic City, June IA to II. federal

earthquake thousands of miles away
and records it.
It's an iron ring about three and
a half inches in diameter each end
covered by a mica disc and a brass
cap piece. Inside is suspended a
lead disc. From this little box leads
a rubber tube with a stethoscopic
ear-piece on the end which is placed
in the operators ear.
Usually two geophones are used,
one or each ear. When these are
placed on the ground any one is
pounding or digging in the vicinity,
the earth waves produced by the
pounding shake the geophone case.
The lead weight inside, however, re-
mains comparatively motionless. The
motion between the instrument case
and the lead weight auses rarefi-
cation and compression of the air in
the instrument, and this compression
is carried to the ear drums through
the rubber tube.
In this way pounding with a pix
on bituminous coal in mine can
be heard or 900 feet, and pounding
with a sledge can be detected for
1,150 feet. The direction from which
the sound comes is easily determined
because, when two geophones are
used, the sound is a trifle louder in
the one nearest the pounding.
