the farmer is feeling the effects of the hot, dry weather severely. In the cities the effect chiefly noticed is physical discomfort. Dust is everywhere, Indoors and out. People who never before knew the meaning of a "summer cold" are enjoying them this year. Epidemic of Influenza. ; Hay fever victims find this the worst summer in years and the exodus to the north ha3 been the greatest ever known. Not only is the air filled with dust, but with the fine pollen of plants, drying under the blazing sun and being scattered in the winds. A physician who makes a specialty of diseases of the throat and nose declared that the dry weather and dust has brought about an epidemic of Influenza. The dust furnishes a constant irritation and there is" no hope for relief until the coming of a good rain. The eyes, too, are suffering from the dust and dryness. This is observed more in the cities where the glare of the pavements and heat reflected from sidewalks adds to the discomfort. But the weather bureau holds out little promise of relief to any of the season's sufferers whether the farmer, worrying over the outlook for crops, or the sneezing and sniffling folk of town. Dispatches from all sections of the county are but dismal In their tone. Stock is Suffering. Hagerstown The stock in many of the fields far removed from the creeks is suffering for water. Pasture wells have become dry and water Is shauled about on sledges. Fields are drying up. Streams are so long farmers fear danger in permitting' their stock to drink. ' '- y Afraid of Field Fires. Dublin It is . so dry. in-this section that clover hulling has ben abandoned. Farmers are afraid to permit engines to enter their fields. Crop Will be Short. Milton Corn is shriveling up as the effect of the continued drought. There seems to be no chance for further development and the crop will be short and the grain light. Are Cutting up Corn. Economy Corn is so dry that it is being cut. Farmers say there will be no further development. Stalks are being fed to cattle but are so dry as to be poor food. Roads are in a terrible condition. River Valley Lands Better. Abington In the river valley section, corn and other crops have not suffered so much, but on the ridges It has burned. . There will be a short crop. Fruit Suffers Also. Boston It is not the corn alone that is suffering for want of rain. Fruits are dying on the trees. The leaves are falling and pears, late plums and peaches are wrinkling and will be worthless. City in Darkness. Ononsburg, Pa., Sept ' 12. Canonsburg was in darkness last night due to the water famine. The Canonsburg Electric Light, Heat & Power Co., will ba unable to run its plant. The Canonsburg Pottery company will shut flovn today until water for its boilers can be obtained. Many persons here are compelled to carry water from streams more than a mile away. Railroad Hauls Water. Cumberland, Md., Sept 12. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is compelled to haul water to Xewburg and Terra Alta to supply its engines there, owing to the water being so low at points along the third division.

CIVIC LEAGUE IN PUBLIC MEETING SOUNDS ISSUE (Continued From Page One.)

saloons closed has had such business booms as it never before had. "E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League shows by means of illustrations that the Indiana towns thta have no saloons have an increase in both quality and quantity, and a decrease in the taxation. "The reason for the reduction of taxes which is inevitable, follows the removal of saloons, are first: Property appreciates in value and brings a greater income, hence tax rates can be lowered safely with profit; Second, people who had formerly been hard drinkers at Once become more frugal and begin to accumulate property which of course adds naturally to the assessable property of a place; third, a more substantial class of people naturally inclined to move into

saloonless districts and to invest their money in property. Fourth, criminal expenses are largely reduced. So, for the above reason the loss evidently sustained in revenue by the removal of the saloons is more than made up and the burden of taxation becomes lighter. "The $1,880,000,000 spent annually for drink limits the purchasing power of the people and so shuts up the market for life's necessities which the farmer has to dispose of. His loss here is far greater than any gain resulting from the sale of the products from the sale of the products from the manufacture of liquor. "The liquor federation seeks the

their babble for the saloon. There is far less labor employed by the liquor interests for the capital invested than in any other business. It pays the laborer a smaller proportion of the profits than any other business. , The interests foster a business that puts more men out of work every year than are employed by it. The body of men employed by It are a tax to the community. They are sustained by the community without adding any economic worth to its welfare." "The very existence of such business depreciates the value of property near it, whether in the business or residence section of the city Money spent in the saloon secures no real value for the spender and. had better be thrown into the seas. Money thrown away is waste. Waste limits the power to buy that which benefits."

"The fear has been often expressed ;

that if the saloon is banished the revenue will be insufficient to meet the needs, consequently our children will suffer educationally. It costs approximately $100,000 to maintain the public schools in Wayne county. Last year there were 62 saloons in the county. The revenue from licenses amounted to $6,200. The schools received $2,944.54 of this amount. "With saloons abolished children of drunkards are able to attend school. It will stop the cry of the children in the sweat shop and factory. The amount spent in the saloon will support the public schools of Richmond with $100,000, sustain 25 churches and parochial schools to the amount of $65,000, build a Y. M. C. A. for $100,000, furnish a suit of clothes or a dress at $20 for 1,000 men and women and for men, $10,000, and there would remain $15,000 to meet any deficit in the Municipal light plant. "The county is the natural unit of government. The liquor foe is opposing and the whole county should have the right to decide upon the presence of the traffic. "The hour is crucial in the battle for righteousness. It behooves us to lose no ballot in this critical time, but to so discharge our public duty that our public officials may not mistake the purpose of citizenship of the state. "The fight of '76 is still on. It calls for the consecration of self to the public service not In a battle of bayonets but In a battle of ballots that the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be preserved inviolable to the people of ages to come."

News of the T. P. A.

We believe it would be cjood policy for President Lewis to call a regular meeting this month. It has been several months

since Post C held a meeting and we believe there is sufficient business to come before the meeting of the post that it will make it very interesting. There are several matters that could be discussed profitably as the winter months are coming on and the liveliest season of the year for T. P. A. affairs will soon be here. We understand a movement is on foot to ask the state board of directors to hold one of their monthly meetings in Richmond as these meetings are attended by the state president, state secretary and the board of six directors we believe that this is a very wise movement on the part of Post C. We should certainly be glad to have our state officers with us and we further believe it would be quite a benefit to our post. We have got a lot of good eligible people in Richmond that ought to be members of the T. P. A. and if they were talked to they would no doubt join. We hope that the post will decide to invite our state officers to hold one of the directors meetings in our city. Marcus L. Hasty, our genial and accommodating secretary was a business visitor In Cincinnati this week. Chas. O. Tooker has iust returned from a several weeks stay in New Castle. We should think between Charles and the anti-saloon element that New Castle ought to be cleaned up in pretty good shape by this time. Elmer E. Lebo who has been representing the grocery firm of I. R. Howard and cohipany for the past twenty years has severed his connection with this house and is now representing Schnull and company of Indianapolis in this territory. Mr. Lebo is one of the most popular as well as one of the most successful grocery salesman that travels the territory and his many friends in Post C wish him success in his new undertaking1, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kramer, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Kramer and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Kramer attended the funeral of Mr. Gustav Kramer in Elwood on Thursday. Mr. A. Quigg of Lynn, a former grocery salesman in this territory was in the city this week attending the tournament of the Richmond Gun club. W. A. Ryan, In the Terre Haute Star has the following to say regarding our well known and popular state secretary: "W. D. Chamber" will move on his farm near Ellsworth in a few weeks. He will cultivate henberries, blackberries, strawberries, chiggers, cockleburrs and will go and come by the automobile route." Mr. Chambers will no doubt make a very successful farmer. The traveling men have had their vacations and are back again "hoeing the hard rows" of a traveling man's life. Some have been fishing, some have been hunting, some have been one place and some another and as

far as we can understand everybody has had an enjoyable time. How important it is in our estimation that a man on the road should take a week or two of recreation once a year. And a firm should never be so short sighted nor so stingy as to refuse their traveling salesmen or any of their employes a short vacation. It equips them in better shape for their arduous duties for the coming year and places them in a better position to take xare of the work laid out for them to do. An overworked employe is a detriment Keep your men in good physical and mental 'condition and they will do more and better work. We hope that all the members of Post C have been successful in securing a lay off from their duties and are all back again ready to commence their coming year's work with renewed vim and energy. W.

THE FACULTY WILL HELP.

SCHOOL WILL HAVE ENOUGH MEN INTERESTED IN SPORT TO BOOST GAMES AND KEEP UP ENTHUSIASM.

Prof. C. W. Knouff, new principal of the high school announced last even- j ing that if athletics are started at the 1 Richmond high school this fall, they ;

will be run strictly according to the i-ules of the Indiana l.igh school athletic association. This comes as welcome news to the many athletes at the high school, as the athletics have not been up to the standard during the

past four or five years. "If the athletic teams are organized i they will be run by the rules of the ' I. H. S. A. A., and if the students dl

not care to have clean, high class athletics, they may have the teams, but they will not have the co-operation of the teachers, which is essential," said the principal. The reports that various men are not elngibleshredtashr ious men are not eligible to play Indiana teams I know nothing about, and also the rumors that a team will b organized to play Ohio teams only is without foundation. I sincerely believe that if the matter is placed before the students of the school in the proper light and with men like Torrence, Waldrip and Hamilton and Murray in the faculty there is not any reason why athletics at the local school can not be put on a firm basis. I understand that there will be excellent material in the school this fall for a foot ball team. I hope that we will have a good team and one run in the proper manner and not let drift along as the teams have in former years." THhere is not the least bit of doubt that Mr. Knouff will be able to do good work at the school. At Wabash he had an association that is equalled only by the associations at Indiana

polis.
