Mr. Lett has his whole soul in the work and he goes right amoung men whom be hears using "cuss words," and in a kind but convincing way, he strives to get them to stop the habit. "I have approached no less than one hundred ami thirty such men.'' said he to the Plaindealer reporter, "aud in an instant they have admitted that they wen 'doing wrong in swearing. I ask them that if they do not believe in a God, why do they wound the feelings of people who have faith in the Creator.

Running at large they not only become a menace to thecommunity and candidates for the reform school. but they do great harm by inducing other children to play truant. Supt. Sanders says there are practical ly none too poor to send their children to school, as the law provi les that books shall be furnished free to those who are unable to buy them and there are ladies societies in town who will see that good clothing is provided for those whose. parents cannot properly clothe them. No lice or mold Is reported in the hops and the crop is turning out better t an expected a few weeks ago With another week or ten days of favorable weather the bulk of t le hop crop will be safely housed Prunes indicate yields better than last year but considerably less than a full gawp. Threshing is now practical ly com p. e ted .and the grain crop u is thought w ill about eo,ual that of last year. Pasturage is very short and stock is losing flesh, especially in the dairy districts where the supi ly of milk is even less than usual at this time of the year. Corn is doing well and the crop of matured corn will be larger than usual, if the weather continues good for a week or two longer. Potatoes badly need rain ami this crop is nneven, its condition being dependent upon the soil and the time of planting. Potatoes planted late on high land are the poorest. Pears are plentiful Apples are small in site and about half of a full crop of late varieties is indicated.
