Local thunderstorm'. One afternoon a short tim* Rgo a thunderstorm with quite a heavy tiowL pour of rain secured over a ceitain por tion of a county out west. The shower had not been forecast by the Weather Bureau, and a fe.v days later a letter of complaint was received, the writer sta tiner that the storm had ruined a con siderable acreage-'of cut alfalfa that had been allowed to lie out and cure, as the weather forecast had said nothing ab u: showers. Be that as it may, the sc.ience and art of weather forecasting never have and never will be reduced to the basis 'of absolute certainty. The very opera tion of the natural laws of the universt preclude this, and with EO type cf weather is this impossibility to exac forecasting more in evidence than in the case of thunderstorms. The forecasting of general tl und T storms over large areas is not so diffi cult, as these genera'ly oc*ur \ hen, after a heated period, a large area of high barometric pressure with a pi-- naunced fall in temperature foib vs th h ated period, bringing with it thunder storms and later a cool and clear pc:ij of at least several days' durat on But there are other thunder-.tormr, o:curing daring during du ing period' of abnormal heat, that are caused by excessive air convection —that is, by the upward movement of air masses that are unduly heated by contact with the heated ear»h. These are carried up to such an elevation that they become cooled by expansion to an extent that lowers the temperature cf the warm aii masses below the temperature of con densation, and rain therefore occurs. These "heat'' thunderstorms are frequently veiy local in character, as certain portions of the earth's surface become hotter than others, and conse quently a "heat'' thunderstorm oftec occurs in one locality, whereas a fe? miles, or even a shorter distance away there will be none at all. It is not an infrequent occurence to have a severe thunderstorm over one portion of a large city while over other portions there will be none. It should also bt added that these "heat" thunderstorms are usually followed by a quick retur: to the same heated conditions iha' preceed them, indicating a merely tem porary disturbed condition of the at mosphere without prospect of perma nent relief until the appeirance of such a cool, high-pressure area as has been mentioned above, The Clerk Guaranteed It. "A customer came into my store the other day and said to one of my clerks, 'have yoj anything to cure diarrhoea?' and my clerk went and got him a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ana Dirrhoea Remedy and said to him, 'if this does not cure you, I will not charge you a cent for it. So he took it home and come back in a day or two and said he was cured," writes J. H. Berry &Co , Salt Creek, Va. For sale by Grimes Drug Co. & Lutz Drug Co. The Raleigh News and Obse - ver complains of the Bell tele phone service in Raleigh. "The service," says the News and Observer, "has become poorer and poorer during the past ftw months and, unless there is con siderable improvement within a short time, relief will be asked through official channels." Pos sibly the Bell is getting ready to raise rates in Raleigh. Landmark. Any skin itches is a temper tester. The more you scratch the worse it itch es.

Iliv filiating the trials and tribulations of the pcor fellow who owns an auto mobile, a man told an Enterprise is poitei the other night that a machine stopped on him and he -cranked sev eral mi'lion times and couldn't budge the .car; and sent for help and the help cranked to no purpose, and finally they ihey sent fci a sharp that knows all a bout automobiles, and he cranked without avail; and then primed the en gine and it ran fine as long as the prim in? lasted, and then stopper'. This gave them the cue or clue, however, and they found a thread, from a bunch of waste, tightly packed in the carburet or and after tearing that to pieces and taking the thread out, the car ran rs nicely as you please. Such is the life on wheels levolved by gas. Newton % Enterprise. Despondency Due to Indigestion.

Subscribe Today! I Use German Prisoners In Harvest* tag Crops. The experimental use of German pris oneis-of-war as harvesters has begun in the province of Oileans. It may solve the question of harvest without the re turn of the soldiers at the front. Two hundred Germans who weie caDtured at Carency and sent to the prison camp at Issondun were trans ferred to Malesherbes aid there in groups of 20 sent to the different com munes that have aDDlied to the milit ary authorities for farm help. Each detachment is placed under the super vision of the mayor of the commune cting for'the military autho:ittes, ai d is subject to the same dicipiline as in camp. The men are to be paid at the rate of about ten dolkrs per montu, in ad dition to their board and lodging, di rectly by those who employ them. Thus fat the experiment has devel ped no difficulties and if it continu: j tinues to prove successful, other ccn voys of 200 each will be sent to other firming centers. The present harvest outlook in the great wheat country of the Beauce sur passes all previous expectations as to yield and quality. Red Devil Lye EATS UP FILTH I H * Rout * FILTH MAKES FLIES AND OUT-HOUSES ABE FLY FACTOBIEB Make Your Out-Houso Sanitary The odors arising from privies are sickening and unbearable, particularly in summer. They are also the breeding place (or flies and other vermin. Flies carry disease germs direct from such places to the baby's milk, the meats, vegetables, pies and other foodstuffs. Typhoid fever is invariably transmitted from germs that originated in out-houses and such breeding places, and these germs are usually carried to the house and kitchen by flies that take an air route. BED DEVIL LYE, plentifully sprinkled in privies every two or three days, toill eat up the filth deposits, keep such places sanitary, and wipe out the pestiferous fly. The cost is trifling, wkile the benefits can not be measured in dollars and cents. Use Bed Devil Lye for thiß important purpose, you win be amazed to find now it actually eats up the filth.
