HOOVER LOOMS STRONGER

Hoover looms stronger than ever as
a presidential possibility as a result
of the Michigan primary. Running
fourth and close to Lowden on the re-
publican ticket. without any organiza
ton in that state. he also carried the
state on the democratic ticket. even i'll
face Of the fact that he has recently
announced that he is Il republican and
always has been. HOovers strength
was certainly given a remarkable dem
onStrati0n in the Wolverine state.
Lowden and Harden are practically
eliminated from the fight for the re-
publican nomination. Failure to carry
Michigan was a setback to Leonard
Wood. whose nomination at Chicago
would practically have been "cinched'
had he added another victory in Mich
igan 10 his recent list Of states carried.
While Johnson. in carrying Michigan,
with Wood second, gets out into the
limelight and out of the ''fayorite son
class. he is still far behind Wood in
results to date.

ELLINGTON

Thousands of dollars worth of damage was done to tobacco crops here in hail storm which struck this town shortly af- ter two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Dur ing the storm the home of William Lainks on the Wrapping road was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire, leaving the family homeless. The house was built by Mir. Xainks only two years ago Another fire occurred when Il shed in the rear of w. II. kibbe's home on Main-st was destroyed together with supply of hay and wood stored in it. The fire is thought to have started from sparks blown by the high wind from a nearby bonfire. Had 1t not been for the heavy fall of rain just before the fire the house also would have been burned, but the thoroughly wet roof and sides resisted the sparks from the shed. Neighbors equipped with hand extingushers and pails of water tried to quench the flames but were unsuccessful The damage in Ellington by the storm is estimated at $50, ,0OO.

Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made by Dr. William Sheppegrell, president of the American Hay Fever Prevention association, are reported in a paper published by him. AS a result of a weed-cutting campaign carried out in New Orleans in the spring of 1916 the number of hay fever cases was re- duced to less than 50 per cent of the usual prevalence. The "cold storage" treatment of the disease, in which practically all ventilation Is excluded in order to insure the absence of at mospheric pollen, is said to afford only transient relief, while the low tem- perature Is likely to cause bronchitis. The effects of an abundant rain on hay fever patients is beneficial because the rain not only washes the pollen out of the air. but also permanently removes its toxic qualities, so that 1t Is harm less when again blown into the air after the rain is over. This has been proved by laboratory experiments, in which pollen, after submersion in wa ter, was inhaled by hay fever subjects without any apparent effect.

Much damage was done in this vicinity by the thunderstorm, accompanied by hail and wind Tuesday afternoon. The storm reaching almost the proportions of cyclone took path about 100 feet l wide On the farm of Bert Fuller it lifted the roof off tobacco shed and carried it about 200 feet and f1attened the shed, where team had just brought iii the i last load of tobacco, filling the shed. Chauncey Noble was in the si e when it ] was blown down and had to be dug out i of the ruins. A horse and heavily loaded 1 team that had just driven out of the
 shed were thrown to the ground as were
 also a number of men working in the
 tobacco field. No one was seriously hurt, however. Four COWS, which were stand
 ing in a shed, were buried by the ruins. The storm passed from the Fuller place and went up over South Mountain. Mir. Fuller and his men work ed into the night on the tobacco shed ruins to salvage the tobacco. A large number of men in town turned out to assist in work. After going over South Mountain the storm went
 over Chestnut Hill, uprooted trees, knocked down fences and lifted the roof off the barn of William Galbraith. Over half of the tobacco in Somers was har- vested before the storm. Much of what was standing is badly damaged. The actual loss in Somers is estimated at $2O,OOO
