We have not had a quarter of an inch of rain in over 30 days. Late corn is badly affected by it, also peas and sweet potatoes, and gardens for fall service is about down and out. 1 have been very busy, though, laying to keep work abreast, mostly saving roughage and gathering a .ine crop of table peas (white peas) autrd am glad to say that i have a quantity v and all saved without any rain on them. These things had me on the? job, and made me play truant to my business and pleasure to the paper; ' for my "boss" savs I must work Since I "called" the last time, I have* seen, and heard and enjoyed and didnt, and went to places and stayed at home some. There was a series of meetings at the Baptist church here, that was well attended, and several joined in the various ways, and theu I attended several times at the Carlisle Baptist church during the meet* ing there, derived much pleasure .ni so doing. Four jdined that church. Rev. W. A. Stephenson preached there also. The "summary" of these meetings was the baptizing at' the church hefe Sunday of nine persons. A large congregation was present to hear the sermon and witness the baptism*! services. mi - mere nave Deen a quantity of fine hay saved all around in this lower Union county during this dry dealt weather, and there is more .to save yet.

Many bolls that farmers thought, and hoped, would go . to maturity, at the beginning of August, failed. They were damaged* or entirely killed by the boll weevil. It is said by many farmers that weevils are already bad in-peas, especially those that same on early. Also that a certain kind of weevil is infesting early corn in the field. It is a small long bug of a thing, with a long bill, and is co/nmon in cribs in late years;' bnt I believe this is the first year that I ever heard of it taking a job in the field.

Well, as is light and proper, after the excitement of the political campaign, the pendulum is beeinnincr to tret steady. But when it comes to a showdown for an efficient and economic use of the people's money (th?'.axes they pay) for roads and things, if one thinks the people are deprived :>f "claws" or are "dehorned," he is deceiving himself, if I hear aright They are only - getting in trim to scratch and horn the harder. It is a iong lane that has nq. torn. Some people are beginning to think there too many "four yfiflV tfl'Ul Wlhhc I have head all of the after "using" cards of thanks from the late candidates, both victors and vanquished, and they seem appreciative generally, and also they mostly refused to fcro-w" over the defeated. I suppose everyone, if two of more were in the ame race, had sense enough to know they would have votes against them, but they were lenient towards them and they all parted friends.

New York Giant* Are Forty Years Oltjl New York, Sept. 26.?'Giants in action as well as in stature," mused old Jim Mutrie, one day more than a quarter of a century ago aa he sat observing the New York team, then an aggregation of six-footers, stride to victory as easily as a fairy book pap wearing sevan-ta^e boots would win a Marathon race. Ever since tfcqy have bean the "Giants"?professionally anct ^nancially. Jim was the "Daddy pf the. Giants" and had to right to.attach the moniker to his. figurative.progeny but when he uttfred his now famous phrase he did it out of simple admiration. A reporter sitting near him usurped the ministerial function and did the baptising. The Giants are now 40 years old. Mutrie brought.the club Jjito existence in 1883 by inducing John B. Day, a rabid fan of < the sidebars days* to finance his idea, fim took the management and- played- the drat seasons on the old Polo Grounds, then on Fifth Avenue, gaining admittance to the National League in- its initial year by replacing the Troy team.

John T. Bursh, builder of the present imposing edifice, sometimes called the Brush Stadium, was the owner then. The following year McGraw's team won the pennant but refused to plav the Boston Americans for the World's Championship. Tl^e refusal led to the formation of the former National Commission in the following year ind it at once made mandatory a series of contests for the supremacy of the world. The Giants won the pennant again the next year and defeated the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one, for the title. Harry Hempstead, in 1911, succeeded his father-in-law, John T. Brush as head of the club, and six years later gave McGraw a contract which included-stock in the operating ewhywiQ. Tiwi yytra later fihidsa. A.

Methodist Church Records Records Growth in Canada : % Tn#Aiitn Sont 07 * w* wa?W) *4 m UiVlUUClOUip 111 the Methodist church in Canada has increased tp the pa?t four years from 388,210 to 406,938, according to a quadrennial report made at the opening of the Methodist General Conference today. Increases of salaries to ministers in Canada during the four post-war years, says the report, have advanced the total salaries paid from $1,7,28,880 in 1917-18 to $2,575, 801 in 1921.22. The report notes a considerable increase in the funds raised for all purposes in the same period, the actual figures being $6,535,296 in 1918 and $9,30$,323 in the year just ended. Churches, parsonages, other buildings and cenjetery properties owned by the church in Canada and Newfoundland are valued close to $50,000,000, it was announced. The Rev. S. P. Chown, of this city, will come up for re-election as General Superintendent of the Methodist church in Canada at the conference, as will the ten secretaries of the department of the church. A i-J e > nunncp ynfia^vn jpena Summer in Denmark Copenhagen, Sept. 26.?Large numbers of Austrian children, particularly little boys and girls from Vienna, have been spending their summers in Denmark as guests of every class of the Danish community. But it has been distinctly understood between the Danish organizations arranging these charity visits and the Danish authorities, that no child shotfld be allpwed to stay in Denmark more than six months unless special permission for a prolonged stay wpw? given. Manv of these Austrian children have grown very fond of their Danish foster-parents, and vice versa, and the leave takings at the railway stations, when these children are sent back to Austria have in many instances bean poignant and pitiful The youngsters did not hide their sorrow and dfepfir at going away. Little Mitsi Wolf-Schikinger is nine, and the daughter of an Austrian .colonel .Who was killed on the Italian frontier during the war. Her mother was left to shift for Mitri and herself on a pension that hardly cohered the cost of rpnt, and she was happy when she got an opportunity of sanding Mitsi on a long holiday to kind and hospitable people in Denmark.

St. Thomas Apprel^fuive Over Reafrlctions On Shippinj Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, \ I., Sept. 26.?St. Thoipas merchants whose prosperity depends chiefly o the amount of shipping that come into the harbor, are hopeful tha President Harding takes prompt an favorable action on the memorandur recently handed him by a commis sion from St Thomas urging that th Volstead Act be not enforced in th Virgin Islands; that the coastwis shipping law be suspended, and tha the quarantine -regulations be abat ed. Ship figures compiled from th custom t^ouse records show that fo the year ending Jun$..&0, 1922, 2, 156 vessels of all tyif?| entered thi port, as compared with 2,622 for th .previous year. For the 12 month ended June 30, 1920, 2,245 ships cam into port. It is pointed out here that the yea ended June 30, 1921, was abnorma and that there has, in, fact, been onl a slight decline on the actual numbe of cessels entering port over the lis cal year 1920. But it appears tha the port is not suifariug so muc from the decline in the number o vessels coming herer^?s from thi fact that fewer of thai* vessels tak on coal or other supplies. The United States .Shipping Bohr built three large oil tanks here wit a capacity of 165,00(V^arrels to sup ply fuel oil to Shipping Board vet Sels. They were filled last January and since then the total withdrawal have been only aboulfc 40,000 barreli So far this year, It is said, ship coming into port to tlffce on coal hav averaged less than one a week, an the coaling of vesa|}s is the chk source of income foifi many men an women who earn frttifcp three to fH cents for each basket of coal carrie aboard.

It's best to in an effort to apprehend a gunman < who, while three companions waited outside, today walked into the First National bank of Hopcdale, 15 miles west of here, and shot and probably fatally wounded the cashier, George C. Whitaker, 29. The only clue the authorities ha\e it- a half a thumb, which police say belongs to one of the bandits who ;s thought to have caught his hand in the door of the automobile and amputated his thumb as they made their getaway. The piece of the thumb was found fast in the door of the automobile which the gunmen abandoned near Parlette, Jefferson county,j after their escape from Hopcdale. Jefferson county authorities scout the theory and believe that the gunmen had been hired to kill Whitaker. The fact that the bandit made no . demand for money and deliberately! shot Whitaker when he appeared it the cashier's window leads officers io this theory, they stated. Bank officials are confident, however, that robbery was the motive of the shooting. The condition of Whitaker Is reported by physiciAns here, where he was brought after the shooting, as serious.

Sweden's Revenue From Liquor is $32,000,000 % Stockholm, Sept. 26.?Sweden's in come from liquor trade taxes during 1922 will be over 121,000,000 kronor, or more than $32,000,000, according to the official reports just published by the Liqnor Control Board. One of the arguments used by Sweden's "wets" in the recent prohibition referendum in Sweden, which resulted in a victory for the anti-prohibition iftta, was that in case Sweden went dry there would be a heavy loss of revenue from liquor taxes, and that ether commodities might have to he eur-taxed to make up the deficit.
