FRUIT IS DAMAGED
COL. YODER REPORTS
There is nothing new in this neck
of the woods at present. All seems
to be very quiet. Everybody is
attending to his farm work in pre
paring his land for the ensuing crop.
No corn planted yet, but a few small
kroating patches. The irardenine-
is somewhat delayed on account
or the bad weather. There will be
a large crop of sweet potatoes
planted this summer from the many
large beds of seed potatoes planted.
ao lar the wheat is looking fine.
Scarcely any live peaches are on
the trees and from the general ap
pearances there will be a light crop
of them. We are fearful that the ap
ple crop is also damaged somewhat.
Ihe general health of this section
appears to be fairly good.
Love McGill has moved to South
Carolina to work at the sawmill
business for L. N. Rudisill.
The school closed at the Yoder
school house on last Saturday with
a public entertainment in an old
fashioned exhibition.
Wutt Shuford and A. A. Whitener
were the public speakers. The
string band of Bandys' township
were there in full bloom ready to dis
play their talents in music, which
was fairly good. Then after night
they had a public play and songs
by which they gathered in some
thing over $25 to go for the use of
the school property.
There are but few sweet potatoes
yet remaining in the country that
are not shipped.
Here we give a problem for some
one to solve. Arithmetically sup
pose that the Germans fire their big
cannon loaded with a shell exactly at
8 o'clock. What time would it fall
in the city of Paris, said to be 76
miles? Examine the rules of math
ematics to be your standard rule to
solve it. That will teJl the rate of
velocity per second.
We have come to the conclusion
that old ground hog and the crawfish
had a tussel for the supremacy about
tho weather and the crawfish hit
him a terrible blow and knocked him
back into his hole and hence drew
all the cold weather with him, and
hence the last cold spell followed.

.'With the British Army ,in

brought up fresh divisions for the'
hard thrust which they made yester
day. Although the Britsh were un
able to hold W;ytschaete and Meter

the enemy elsewhere. The British
maintaned their line throughout

The renewed bombardment oi me

NEW TORI'EDO INVENTED
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Ifrhaps the outstaniding feature
of a new rtwtfo-controlled tjbrpedo,
the invention of a young wrreless
experimenter, enlisted in the navy,
is its purported ability to resist in
terrupting impulses sent out by an
enemy vessel.
It is electrically driven and ob
tains power from a storage battery
contained within it. The radius of
action is not limited to a few
miles, for enough stored energy to
keep the mssile moving for 10 hours
if need be, is provid ed.
A CHINESE DIVORCE
In China when a couple seeks a
divorce they must break a pair of
chopsticks in the presence of witness
es, and the thing is done. But
that is not all. Divorces are allow
ed in all cases of criminality, mutu
al d(jslike, jealousy, compatibility
of temperament and too much loqua
city on the part of the wife!
In Siberia the man can just please
himself as to whether he shall di
vorce his wife. For the most
trifling act of his wife he tears a cap
or veil from her face, and that con
stitutes a divorce. Exchange.

AMERICAN TIN DEPOSITS
New 'York Tribune.
A report upon the tin deposits in
the Kings Mountan district of North
and South Carolna has been issued
by the United States Geological
Survey. This region has oxide of
tin in many places, and has been
"rather extensively prospected, with
attempts at mining. In at least one
place, in Gaffney, placer mining
was temporarily profitable. In the
main, however, mining work has been
done at a loss; yet the conclusions
are that operations thus far neith
er prove nor disprove the value of
some of the deposits.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
spider web is so fine and delicate
that unless covered with dust or
sparkling with dew it is almost in

Natural History is now displaying a
series of these webs, 12 in number,
so mounted on dark backgrounds as
to be planly visible. The spiral
construction, widening gradually
from the centre outward, is easily
traced. The webs are accompanied
by colored plates of the spider which

Field Marshal Haig today reports
his line on the Lys battle front stand-
mtact last night as it existed
sterday morning following the
itish retirement east of Ypres, no
ground having been lost in the fight
ing yesterday.
Checked for the time at least in
some of the strong positions domin
ated by Kemmel hill on the northern
portion of this front, the Germans
are turning their attention to the
southward in an effort to take Haze
brouck. A heavy bombardment of the Brit
ish positions here between Locon
and Robecq was reported in progress
this morning.
The enemy is finding himself
cramped on the southerly side of the
wedge he has pushed into the Brit
ish lines and seems in an effort to
widen it out here.
Further on at Locon the Germans
are only three miles from Bethune,
an important railroad center, and at
Robecq are a short distance from
Hazebrouck.
The British have been holding this
sector of the front as strongly as
they have the northwesterly edge of
the salient, where they have held up
German attacks to take Hazen
brouck, as was indicated anew in the
repulse of fresh German attacks
last night in the Merris sector along
the Bailleul-Hazenbrouck railway.
It seems not unlikely that the en
entente higher command has fore
cast a possible larger German pur
pose to drive determinedly south
ward, envelop Bethume and push on
to the point where they can compel
the British to fall back from Given
chy and the region north of Arras,
where the dominating Vimy ridge is
the commanding factor.
The development of the enemy de
monstration on the Locon-Robecq
line, however, will be followed with
the greatest interest. In the Arras
region and the line south of Al
bert the British have held up the
enemy push to Amiens.
