In a letter to the London Times a traveler told of a hailstorm thai came upon his party a few yean? ago in the Pyrenees. "It was as if night was devouring day before our very eyes?a night, too, of tempest and torn and trailing clouds, of storm, smoke and thunder." Midway in the darkness was "the cleai cut straight line of cloud which invariably tells of hail." Except for the shelter of a small tree the trav elers were exposed to the storm's fury, and when they examined the haibtones they found they were of the average size of marbles, with a scattering here and there of much larger stones, "as large as golf balls.'"' This, however, was merely the prelude. The real storm came after they had reached their tents. "Suddenly the whole land was bombarded by great hailstones as large as lawn tennis balls." These fell with deafening roar on the canvas of the tent, and "it seemed only a matter of a few seconds for us to be battered into the earth, tent and all." An india rubber bath in front of their shelter, "with its 6ides beaten down in places, was half full of things like white cricket balls." When the storm had finally passed the mountains around were white with the hailstones. The hail was weighed. "Six stones went to the kilo." The size was that of "a tennis ball and almost uniform." Sev i l I'll-J iU ? emy sueep were luueu. uu uie unguieabove the travelers' shelter,, and in a neighboring valley thirty-five cows and some mules and the body of a child that had been wandering in the mountains "were brought down by a 6tream." Ab?entmind*d. Theodor Mommsen, the famous historian, had not only the appearance, but the manner, of a scholar. Once during the half hour's drive from Berlin to Charlottenburg the car in which the professor rode went badly off the track. The rest of the passengers alighted, the horses were removed and the stranded car was left until help could be found. Mommsen remained, reading his book. An hour passed and the sound of levers and jacks and the plunging of horses' hoofs aroused him from * trr'ii .# .1! nis reverie. wun no sign 01 uiseuiufiture he arose from his seat and went to the door. "Ah," 6aid he, "we seem to have come to a standstill."?Harper's. Forgery In Anciont Greece. Dactvl is Greek for finger, and from this the word dactylography, to apply to a knowledge of finger rings, has been accepted, though evidently a mislit. Rings as signets hark back to ancient Egypt, from which country they probably came to Greece. .Qnlnn +Vio lawgiver who died 558 years before the Christian era, enacted a law that no engraver or cutter of signet rings should keep by him the impression of any ring he had cut. As these rings were used to sign documents of various kinds, this law was intended to prevent fraud and forgery. Queer Looking Worme. Xew Zealand. Australia, the Samoan and the Solomon islands, as well as portions of the Hawaiian group, are the homes of various species of worms with thick, heavy bodies and with a well defined neck connecting the body with a head that is a startling reminder of that of the monkey. In the Sandwich Islands they are called "me-ta-luki." which means "creeper with a child's head." An old New Zealand legend says that at one time they were of immense proportions and threatened the extinction of all human life on the islands. A Famous Widow. One of the most famous widows of antiquity was Agrippina, the widow of Germanicus. During the lifetime of her husband she attend* s . ti ? . . _ _ 1 ed Mm m an nis campaigns anu shared his dangers. Suspecting that her husband had been poisoned, she had his presumed murderer assassinated and was herself soon after treated with such indignity by Tiberius that she was driven to despair and starved herself to death. Canada's Coal. According to "First Things In Canada," compiled by the late George Johnson, Dominion statistician, the first recorded mention of coal in Nova Scotia was in 1654. "Coal was gathered in Nova Scotia at a verv early date without mining, mention being made of it in 1721. Coal was shipped to France from Cape Breton in 1743, as stated in a letter from M. Duchambon to the French minister." Athletic Amuumirt. Everything in nature indulges in amusement. The lightning plays. The wind whistles. The thunder rolls. The snow flies. The wares lean.

It is estimated that the first year ; of our entry into the world war will i cost us about eighteen billion dolf lars. One billion dollars is a sum so stupendous that my mind cannot grasp it Should the war last two or three years, our nrtional debt will jbe from sixty to seventy-five billion dollars. All of this inconceivable sum of money is a mortgage on your property and mine. On your energy and mine a tax on the laborer and capitalist, until it is paid off Perhaps we will be seventy years or more in paying off bonds,, pensions^oldiere' homes, etc. Far more pressing and necessary today is the need to find ways and means of defeating Germany. How then can Dillou eounty, how can you and I, "do our bit?" First, we 3UUUIU cuuie its near ieeaing ourselves as possible,so that other parts of America can feed our Allies, and other dependent nations. We can increase our production by doubling our energies. We need increased production of everything?of wheat, corn,, oats, potatoes, hay, hogs, cows poultry and all food crops, and then if possible to increase our cotton crop. When the war ends many people will be cold and half naked as well as hungry. For once no one cries over product.on and poor markets in consequence thereof. This is the best period since the Civil War for a farmer to lay by something for a rainy day. It ill becomes a farmer to complain of the high cost of foods. As for fine clothes and automobiles, he has managed in the lean years just behind us to get along without them. Now, this very fall is the time to salt down some good American dollars. Buy a farm,buy a home, invest in Liberty Bonds, open up a bank account, and in 1918 go on a cash basis, asking no one for credit. Prnhflhlv nnnp nf iiq trill o??r lira < *> - - ? ? -w ?? ?! V ? VI II vv vv/ see times so prosperous for farmers. God gives opportunity to most people but once. Put on your thinking cap and get ready to produce far more next year than ever before in your life. One curse of our farmers has been cheap labor poorly directed. Think out the quickest and best way to do any particular kind of work and make the job cheap by working high priced labor under your leadership as foreman. I think we shall make money in 1918, but this Is not whatis worth counting?it is doubled production. Take the best care of your health; live in such a way as to make of yourself the most efficient human machine possible; see that you are in the best of condition to do your best every working day of the year. Remember the German army of today would be impossible if it were not for the wonderful farming done by men over and under the draft age.and by the women and children. We that stay at home can make sacrifice by doing our best to increase production of everything. After two million of our ablest men are put to producing ships, ammunition and other war supplies, after four million men are trained as soldiers, we that are laft may still be called on to increase our production? Save all you can?make all you can. ? Dillon Herald. Auction Sale of 150 Hogs.

Mr J A Ferrell, of Salters, has bought Delco light and will soon have electric lights in his store and home there.
