Much Damage By Storm

The storm of Thursday night last
was one of unusual severity and
much damage was done throughout
this locality. The heavy downpour Of
rain washed fields and roads badly,
high wind blew down numerous trees
and the lightning played havoc with
electric and telephone service.
Lightning struck the chimney on
the public school building at North
East and did considerable damage.
In Lancaster county, Pa, three
barns were struck by lightning and
burned.
The barn of Peter Nauman, Man
helm, r. 2, was burned, together
with corn, wheat, and farm nipple
ments, at a $500 loss.
One of the barns of the Hershey
Estate, near Elizabethtown, was
struck by lightning and burned, to-
gether with its contents of hay, oats,
ground feed and farm machinery.
Loss is placed at $500.
The barn on the John Fichtner
farm, near Iva, Strasburg Township.
was struck and burned. Loss is plac-
ed at $1,000.
Spies Church, Berks County, was
struck by lightning and totally de-
stroyed, with heavy loss. This is the
second church at that place burned
in 33 years.

Director of Extension Service at the
University of Maryland, extended
greetings to the group, congratulate
ing them for the large attendance on
suck hot afternoon. She announced
that the Rural Women's Short
Course would be held again next

ditions.
A piano selection was given by

Agricultural Economist of the Uni
versity of Maryland He talked on
Building the Peace" Mr. Hamilton
said, "a lasting peace cannot be won,
it must be built" His talk was based
on this statement and he pointed out
tkat the steps in building the peace
might be compared with building
home. There must be preliminary
construction, and after the blue print
is decided upon the actual building
can be constructed. The blue print
was drawn at Dumbarton Oaks, and
the actual building of the organiza-
ton was reserved for San Francisco.
He also discussed the causes of war
and how they could be handled.

Eclipse Of
Sun Visible
On July 9th

The first total eclipse of the sun
visible in the United States and Can
ada since August, 1882, and the last
until 1854, is the chief astronomical
even of July. 1t occurs on July 8.
Only along a narrow path beginning
in Idaho, crossing Montana, Saskat
chewan, Manitoba, Hudson Bay,
Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland
and Russia, will the moon be seen
to cover completely the disk of the
sun. But throughout practically the
whole of North America and Europe
there will be partial eclipse, with
more of the sun being hidden the
nearer one is to the path of totality
In New York City the moon will
begin to encroach on the solar disk
at 1907 a. m. EWT; the eclipse viii
be at it's maximum at 1903, with 81
per cent of the suns diameter cover
ed, and the moon will move COM
pletely off the sun at 1904. Atlanta,
Ca, will see only So per cent of the
solar diameter hidden at 7:51 a. IN.
There the eclipse will start at 1901
and end at S:46. Chicagoans will be
able to watch the eclipse from 6 Us
a. m. to 500 a. M, CWT, with the
maximum, 70 per cent, at 1902 a. m
At Denver, the eclipse will start be-
fore sunrise; the maximum, "a per-
cent, will occur at sos a. M, MWT,
and the end at 658 a. m. In south
ern Califoria, even the middle of the
eclipse will occur before sunrise. IL
the vicinity of Los Angeles the sun
will rise with 16 percent of it's dia-
meter covered, and the end will come
soon after at 4:55 a. M, PVT.
For the United States, the beauty
of sunrise in eclipse is the unusual
feature. Impressive sights to watch
for are the corona, pearly-white
halo of light around the blackene l
sun; TIE brilliant spots of light
where at the last moments before
and after totally, the edge OF the
sun is mining through valleys miles
deep ON the edge of the moon; and
the prominences, which are rosy
colored fountains of fire 10000 to
100, 200 miles high. They often shoor
out visibly beyond TIE black edge.
A mystery that anyone may see Is
bands of shadows, sometimes JUS.
before and sometimes just after the
total eclipse. These shadows. usually
about an inch wide and foot or
more apart, may move across the
earth at SDeeds IN to 10 miles an
hour, but sometimes stand still. They
are not always seen.
The cause of the shadows is not
certain. One theory is that ripples
of air cause them. Another that
bending of light rays around the edge
of the sun causes some rays to cancel
others, like waves, and leave shad-
ows where too much light is canceli-
ed.

MUST BUY
AUTO ssUSE"
TAX STAMP

George Hofferbert, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, states that the i'm.
preston seems to be widespread that
the tax imposed upon the use of mo-
tor vehicles has been or will be re-
pealed. However, it has not been re-
pealed and it appears certain that if
or when it is repealed the change
will have no effect with respect to
the fiscal year 1916.
He further states that as matter
of justice and fairness to the many
law abiding citizens who voluntarily
purchase their stamps and post them
on their vehicles, it is his purpose,
as long as this tax remains on the
statute books, to rigidly enforce it's
collections.
The task of vigorously enforcing
the collection of this tax will pro-
coed promptly beginning July l.,
1915. Through the first ten days of
the drive no action will be taken to
penalize those motor vehicle owners
who have not purchased stamps or
WuO nave nOL PlOpCliy pOotOo
on the windshield of their vehicles.
Beginning July IL, all delinquents
apprehended will be penalized in ac-
cordance with law.
The law provides ANY person who
uses or permits the use of his motor
vehicle before the tax has been paid
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fin
ed not more than $500 or impris-
oned for not more than 80 days, or
both Any person who uses or oper-
ates motor vehicle at a time when
the stamp does not appear on tie
motor vehicle of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fin
ed not more than $4,000" Attention
is directed to the fact that this pen
atty is not only provided in cases of
violation by the owners but for any
person who uses or operates motor
vehicle upon which the stamp does
not appear.

Meat Supply To Increase

The OPA predicts slightly more
meat in July. At the same time it
cut point values for cheese, but in
creased the ration cost of margarine
and canned fish.
The point revisions are effective
for the period from Sunday, July /,
through July %, OPA said, adding
that no downward adjustments for
meat are included because the supply
increase is only five per cent.
Margarine goes from twelve to
fourteen points pound because the
third quarter supply is down, but the
butter value is unchanged and cur
rent point costs for canned fruits and
vegetables are being continued for
the new ration period.
The increase for canned fish is two
to three points a pound, resulting
from 35 per cent slash in supply
for the year ahead as compared with
the last twelve months. Such varie
ties as salmon, shrimp and tuna go
from six to nine points pound,
while mackerel and sardines get a
new value of six points, up two.
Cheese ration values are pared two
to four points pound to prevent
spoilage while production restrictions
are suspended. The cut is necessary,
OPA said, despite the fact that tie
July-September civilian ALLEGATION is
21.OO0,000 pounds less than the
amount available during the second
quarter.
