CROP YIELD GUT

DRY SPELL
Elk Garden Section Is Hard
Hit; Stock, Losing Weight,
Rushed Into Freight Cars

RICHMOND, Va, July IA
The worst drought in the memory
of the eldest citizens at Honaker,
Va, remains unbroken. Many
crops are already failure and
others, under most Favorable con.
d1tions from now on, cannot be
expected to yield more than half
crop.
The, blue grass section is scar
and brown and much of the sod
would burn If fired. This condi-
tion is forcing cattlemen to ship
their prime beef cattle nearly
two months earlier than usual.
The Stuart estate of the Elk
Garden section, shipped three
loads of export cattle Thursday
and three more were shipped
Saturday. Notwithstanding the
drought, these cattle averaged
1900 pounds, but had begun to
lose weight,
H. M. Browning, another big
shipper of Elk Garden, shipped
three carloads Friday.
Cattle shipments will continue
until all are marketed.
All other stock is being put on
the market as rapidly as possible.
Nine cars of lambs, 1,180 head,
were. loaded at Blackford Thurs
day. Blackford is the shipping
point for the Elk Garden Sec

 Mary James resistance to the whole idea of mapping had only grown more violent until lately the mere suggestion that she lie down was enough to produce a tantrum.
 T have decided that Mary Jane cannot be made to take a nap, so I am going to give up"
 Next day, as Mary Jane was fin ishing her lunch, Aunt Helen came in with book under her arm.
 Mary Jane, I'm going to rest. Do you want to come with me? have a story that I think you'd like to hear"

 "Oh. I do hope Lightfoot will vin!" whispered little Mrs. Impy.
 50 do l." replied Impy
 This was the wish of all the other little people, too, You see, they lad known Lightfoot for so long that he seemed to belong there; and they knew that whoever should lose this battle would have to leave the Green Forest. So all those lit tie people in feathers and fur look ing on hoped and hoped that Light foot woud win. AS for pretty Mrs. Llghtfoot, probably she hoped so, too, thought it was clear that she admired the stranger very mech. If the latter should win sh- would be quite willing 10 bestow her favors upon him. If he should lose, she probably wouldn't be sorry. Now wasn't that a queer state of affairs?

Fatigue
 Fatigue is one of the fascinating problems in physiology, for the mechanism behind fatigue is even at this late date only incompletely understood.
 Fatigue is an important item in industry and in the home. Fatigue affects efficiency and has a direct bearing on disease.
 . Sir James Paget once said, You will find that fatigue has a larger share in the promotion and trans mission of disease than any other single causal condition you can name"
 Ordinarily we think of fatigue in terms of our muscles, but it has been amply shown that fatigue af- fleets the body as a whole and every organ, tissue and cell of which the body is composed. We know that fatigue may affect glands so that they secrete less than what is normal of their substances.
 The kidneys may be deranged through fatigue so that they sub stantially lose their efficiency as filters.
 Fatigue affecting the heart may cause it to dilate, and it's beats are usually quickened and irregularly | timed.
 The early stages of mental fatigue are characterized by a diminution of attention, difficulty in concentrating and slowness in reaction 10 stimuli, in memorizing and in reasoning.
 It has often been said that the American nation is chemically sub- 1 ject to fatigue. Professorg Irwin Fisher, in a study of the cost of ill., ness. observed that "the economic waste from undue fatigue is much greater than the waste from serious illness"
 I Whether or not the diagnosis as 1t pertains to the nation as a whole is correct or not is not very perti. nent.
 But fatigue as it affects the in dividual must certainly be of utmost significance to him.

 Don't call the old dear such a profane name!" she admonished with a grin then sobered as she saw m ytroubled eyes.
 Honestly, it won't be half so bad as you think. When Phil lays him. self out to be nice there isn't any body can do it better. And he'll be on his best behavior. I don't know what the idea is-1'm afraid to hope that maybe he's uncon- sciously regaining the senses he ap- pears to have lost since Princess Olina went back and getting in a more tractable frame of mind. Mind you l say 'unconsciously' he no doubt is planning all sorts of devil- ment with his conscious mind. But if you have Mary's and Noefs inter- ests at heart, l think you'll make a mistake if you don't hand out a Christmas dinner invitation to your revered employer. There's one con- fort, you won't have to ask him to be member of your house party. He made it most emphatic that he was going to stay at that hotel he likes so we'll"
 Good Sound Advice Can you tell me where I'd put him even if he invited himself for a sojourn at the farmhouse? I asked with a mirthless grin.
 You'd manage some way" she answered comfortably, but fortu- nately you won't have to. You ought to be thinking about one thing, however, and that's what I said about bringing Phil to the mourn CTS bench which seemed to puzzle you. It should be perfectly clear to you, and if it isn't I'm going to re- peat in words of one syllable what I've hinted and told you outright many times before"
 She paused, looked me steadily in the eyes and then said slowly:
 If you cannot win Philip Yer itzen to the cause of Noel and Mary, then it's hopeless, and you might as we'll let Mary grab what chance she can for fame and for tune. I know it's a mean. thankless job, and Dicky will no doubt act like a hyena with the humps for several weeks to come. But I'm banking on you not only to win the old boy over, but to tame him so he won't be everlastingly bothering you with his sheep's eyes and his compliments. Honestly, every time I hear him talking to you lately, want to lay back my ears and bleat."

A great hush had fallen over the Green Forest in the neighborhood of the beech trees. Gone was the voice of Chatterer the Red Squr- rel. No longer did Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel bark. Even the tongue of Sammy Jay was quiet. Sam my was there. So was Blacky the Crow. Both were leaning forward eagerly watching the scene below. Lightfoot the Deer was standing on the edge of a little opening among the trees. He was picture ce rage.

On the other side of the little clearing strange Deer, as biz a5 Lightfoot, as handsome as Lightfoot and ap- rarently as angry as Lightfoot, was also paving the ground.
 Where this strange Deer had come from no one knew. Probably Mountain. No one had seen him be- fore. He was perhaps a little young CT than Lightfoot, but every bit as fine looking. All of the little people looking on agreed to this. Standing half hidden in the midst of some small hemlock trees was beautiful Mrs. Lightfoot. She, too, must have thought the stranger very hand some. Certainly there was admira- tion in the shy glances which she gave him. To see her you never would have guessed that she was the cause of all this anger. She act ed for all the world as if she won dered why these two should be threatening to fight.
 Suddenly. as if by agreement, beth plunged forward. As they came together they rose on their hind feet and struck with their fore feet. They struck hard.
