RAIN THREATENS WHEAT PROSPECT

- Unless the rain soon stops, the Wayne county wheat crop will be in worse condition than the corn crop, according to many of the farmers of the county. Uncut wheat has already suffered somewhat from the wet weather, and that which has already been cut will be ruined unless there is enough dry weather to thresh it. There has not been any wheat in the county threshed as yet, although a number of fields have been standing in the shock for more than a week. It will be necessary to thresh this wheat within a week's time or it will spoil.

AZORES PORT IS BOMBED BY WASP

AN ATLANTIC PORT, July 17. The bombardment of St. Michaels, Azores, on July 4, by a German submarine was at first thought to be a Fourth of . July celebration by American' naval ships in port, said the captain of a British steamship from Lisbon and St. Michaels, which arrived here today. The firing began early in the morning, he said, but as the shells commenced to explode over the city, the illusion that it was part of an Independence day program was quickly dispelled. An American collier in port returned the submarine's fire with such precision and volume that . the undersea craft soon subherged. . The British steamship captain, who was an "eye witness of the fight, said the U-boat was 300 feet long and carried two guns. One girl and a man were-killed in St. Michaels by German shells.

A broken rail that might have been the cause of a disastrous wreck was discovered Monday morning by Elvin Miller, on the Pennsylvania railroad at a point a short distance west of the bridge near the waterworks station.
