The recent heavy rains have done great damage in the south part of this county and the north part, of Jay county, according to all reports. It is said that one farm of ninety acres is entirely under water and that in the vicinity of the Lob ditch near Geneva the loss to crops is very heavy. And it rained again. We had figured that the clear sky and the cool weather would furnish at least a fewdays that would permit the harvesting of crops, but by noon the old grey clouds were back and the showers renewed. If it's the war in Europe that it is causing it. we are opposed to the war. Elwood Haynes, inventor of the first gasoline automobile, and since that time the inventor of steelite. a light substitute for steel, and several other devices used in the manufacture of aut( nobiles. deplores the fact that Edison.

A petition has been filed that they be included under the supervision of the commission and it is said that this new step would mean that each bus weald have to carry a flagman to proceed ahead of the car when they approach a railroad crossing. The action if taken will, it is said, practically put an end to the jitney bus lines of this state. The folowing is an extract from a letter published in the current issue of Farm and Fireside: "The fatal mistake of many city people taking to farm life is a rush of enthusiasm before froperly planning the future life. They give up good jobs, scant of means, and perhaps they overinvest. depending upon their new efforts ami resources to meet expenses that should have been previously provided for. There are many thousands of city wage earners who could vastly better their conditions by having thbir families on small farms of ten. fifteen or twenty acres properly prepared for production by soil improvement before actual settlement.” Samuel Shope, living on the J. S. Riley farm, east of Rockford, was found dead in a buggy by his son, Gil cert. He and his son had been to town and on returning home he told his son that he would sit in the buggy a while to cool off. before retiring. The son went to bed and the next morning he noticed that his father wa.gone, but thinking that he was out doing the chores, did not. become alarmed. When breakfast was rea.ly lie went out to call his father and found him dead, sitting in the buggy •ust as he had left him. The cause of hi- death was attributed to heart rouble. Mr. Shope was born In Merer county forty years ago. and had M.?a. s lived near Rockford.

ADVICE TO SPEED WALKERS Nevloe on Track Must Learn to Hold Himself “Well Balances on His Pins.” y n In starting on the track the novice t should hold himself as erect as postible without, however, leaning at all backward, the arms at the sides, with ' (he forearms in a horizontal position, at right angles to the part of Hie arms J ibove the elbows. Ho should have B t feeling of being “well balanced on bis j pins," says a writer in Outing , The weight must be kept on tho C heels—therein lies the chief secret, of walking fairly. Speed depends on two factors, the length and the froJ quency of the stride. Experiments prove i that the length of the stride becomes greater as the frequency increases , Arm action should be carefully cultivated. Properly used, the arms , seem to act as levers to lift forward the body, besides helping to balance it. In each stride one foot should bo ’ always on the ground and at seme mov merit of the stfide some part of both feet should be on the ground simultaneously—that is the fir?* necessity. I Second in importance is to b::ve the walk “heel and tc< ’’ that i . the heel of each foot should strike the ground unmistakably first and the toe oi each foot should be the last part to leave it. > One should not walk flat-footed, with , the ball of the foot or any part except . the heel striking the ground before the t heel does. Lastly, the knee should be "locked" at the end of each stride —the grounded leg should be stiff and taut an the loose leg swings out for the next stride. POETESS AND TIN ROOFER ! Beautifully Expressed Thvujht-, of Viola Sounded to Mike Lika the Ideal Smoking Mixture. The Skickwurt sitting room was bathed in the soft red light of a cigar , coupon lamp, the Detroit Free Press says. Mrs. Viola Skickwurt was in a silent ■ ecstasy, her eyes turned to the celling. • She was a poetess. i Mike Skickwurt, being just a tin I roofer, was merely lost in thought. . Was he again marveling that so gifted and beautiful a woman should have chosen a humble tin roofer as her heaven-sent mate? Viola's lips began to move —a common phenomenon with her when she I was speaking. . "Michael,” she breathed, "always an auresillous nights like these I feel a rare beauty struggling at my soul. A celestial beauty with a halo of hypophosphates and a perfume of aspho- ' dels. And the thought creeps over me that surely the angels are with us, brushing us with their lumageous ■ wings and whispering, whispering! . Isn’t it so with you, my Michael, Her husband stirred thoughtfully. “That’s it,” he said slowly, as a alow smile broke over his tinroefing features. “Just a dash o’ perique and maybe a sprinklin’ of Honest Pete and it’ll be the perfect smokin' mixture.” I Behind the Bars.

No Housework There. Stephen Graham says that the Russian peasant woman lias little or no [ housework to do, as there are no beds , to make, all the family sleeping on ! hay in the barns or on coats on tho floors. There are no stockings to darn, as they all go barelegged, and no 1 dishes to wash, as they all eat out of ’ one dish and take the meat In their fingers. All the cooking Is done in ono pot, meat and veg< tables being cooked . together. Mothers do not bother about ; their children and practically all the housework they have to do is to sweep out the room once in a while.
