OUTLOOK FOR DROPS IN GREAT BRITAIN ARE DISCOURAGING

LONDON, April 28 (Correspondence of the Associated r Press) Reports of tbe agricultural outlook in Great . Britain . are , almost ., uniformly discouraging. Not even the oldest farmer recalls a more trying time than that through which he has just been passing. ' " .. A late sowing, a poor yield, a wet autumn and a severe winter have been followed by a spring with all the marked characteristics of December. The state of the fields is called in all tbe agricultural reports "serious" although it is still possible that a perlod of warm weather might change the situation considerably by the end of

May.

The history of many of tbe best of

the British crops this year is a story of sowing In November and re-sowing

in April. In many cases the autumn sowing was destroyed completely and some fresh scheme had to be hastily devised.

quit going about in public making criticisms of the club's activities. Of course criticisms of the club are welcomed, but let us make our criticisms at our club meetings; not on the street corners. Let us work together and accomplish things." said Mr. Lontz, and he' was enthusiastically applauded. Wants to Make Fund Work. Referring to the $100,000 factory fund subscribed here , last fall Mr. Lontz stated that he wanted to put this fund to work just as soon as possible. "This fund, however, is not going to be dissipated," remarked the club president "It will be spent only for the local ion of legitimate and substantial Industries in Richmond ; not one penny of it will go to 'lame ducks' nor toward meeting club expenses. Directing the industrial rejuvenation of this city will be a club secretary, Mr. Lontz said, who is thoroughly trained in the work which will be intrusted to him. ; He said he wanted the people to be patient until the right kind of a man can be secured to fill this responsible position. Mr. Lontz pointed out that the club's expenses under its new regime would be approximately $7,500 a year. Up to the present time, he said, business men had subscribed $3,200 toward meeting this expense and over $5,000 would be realized from membership dues. Bartel Expresses Confidence. Fred J. Bartel, chairman of the membership campaign, stated that the work to secure new members would be undertaken by members of the organization. He expressed confidence that when the campaign ended the club would have at least 500 members. He added that lately there, had been a complete and most satisfactory change in the public attitude toward the Commercial club. E. M. Haas, who retires from the secretaryship of the club, June 1, ex

plained the plans for the new member

ship campaign. There are eight hundred "prospects" he said. Tomorrow each one will receive a post card in regard to enlisting for "war service" in the club. Saturday these prospects will receive more explanatory post cards and copies of the club's "Bulletin." Monday each prospect ' will receive a personal letter from President Lontz and the same day the recruiting forc-

f es begin their three day drives. Advertisements will also' appear in the news

papers in regard to ; the reorganized Commercial club movement and the importance of every citizen becoming identified with the organization. War Adds Responsibilities. "The present war has added to our responsibilities and the business, interests of Richmond must immediately organize on a war basis," Mr. Haas said. , There will be seventy-five ciub mem-

"Weiss Quality" now linked with a New and Stupendous Purchasing Power, attains for Weiss' a true value-giving Supremacy. The name "Weiss" has long been synonymous with "quality." Now, through recent reorganization and newly acquired buying connections, the same "quality" is bought in "quantity," thereby lowering purchasing price to Weiss and selling price to Weiss' customers. Resulting in a power for value giving unprecedented and unequaled hereabouts. Every article in Weiss' big store at its plainly marked price, furnishes truth for this claim. CompleJe Home Outfitters
