burg. Camp Hill and New* Cumber
land, is the next step for West Shore
improvements. Work on the move
ment is to be started by the West

ganization lias been influential in
much West Shore improvement since
its formaation more than a year ago.
The proposition will be brought be
fore the union at its monthly session
at New Cumberland, on Monday
night.
Joining litmoync, Wormleysburg
and Camp Hill seems to be a pos
sibility of the near future, while
adding New Cumberland to this list
is a matter to be considered.
In.the three towns tirst named the

able comment on the part of coun
cils and business men, while in New

Stop Corn Pain in Two Minutes
by the Clock—Easy and Simple
The magic of Ice-Mint does it
gradually the corn loosen;
Your feet will I
Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, your
foot troubles can be quickly
ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new prepara
tion is called, is said to shrivel
up hard corns, soft corns or corns
between the toes so that they can
be lifted out easily with the
fingers.
Rub a little on any tender corn
or callous. Instantly the soreness
is relieved and shortly the corn
or callous will loosen so that it
can be lifted right out with the
fingers root and all. No fool
ishness.

STORM DAMAGE
TOTALS $200,000
Waynesboro Buildings Arc
Wrecked and Flooded;
Hailstones Piled High
Waynesboro, Pa., June B.—All day
yesterday news was reaching Waynes
boro relative to the destruction of
property by the hall and rainstorm
that swept down the Cumberland Val
ley from Hagerstown past Ringgold
and over Waynesboro on Wednesday
afternoon.
The course of the storm can easily
be followed, as vegetation of every
kind is laid waste, and nothing but
a mass of ruined wheat and corn fields
and orchards and gardens are seen.
In addition to the thousands of win
dow panes of every size, from the
colored church windows that cost all
the way from SSO to SI,OOO to the
small and large glass In public and
private buildings, that were destroyed,
the properties suffered from broken
shutters, roofs blown off or broken.
The loss to property in Waynesboro
alone is placed at $200,000 at the low
est calculation, and it was probably
greater. To pass up and down the
streets here after the storm reminded
one of a bombardment with machine
guns or artillery of a light calibre, as
wreckage was strewn everywhere. In

Center square hailstones piled up to
a depth of eighteen inches and it took
all day Thursday for several wagons
to haul away the hail and debris.
Fire qnglnes were used all night
Wednesday and last night pumping
water from the basements and cellars
of stores and homes.
Waynesboro housewives will get no
apples,'peaches, pears, cherries, rasp
berries, strawberries or any manner
of fruit from the region covered by
the hailstorm, a region reaching from
the nunnery on the north. Green Hill
Cemetery on the south, Shady Grove
on the west and Rouzervllle on the
east. Not a vestige of fruit remains,
not a berry escaped the ruthless as
sault. The largest orchardists in this
storm-stricken region are the Nico
(lemus estate, near Zullinger. the A.
I}. Morganthall Blue Mountain or
chards. north of Rouzerville, and the
Amos Funk orchards on the Mentzer
Gap road above White Mills.
In addition to the loss of crops, Mr.
Funk's farmhouse, formerly the Dr.
Frantz place, was unroofed 'and the
brick gables caved in. Part oT the
roof of Mr. Funk's barn was blown
off. A. P. Morganthall estimates his
fruit and crop loss at SIO,OOO. The
large orchards of 1"). M. Wertz, on the
north; U. W. Harshman, Aaron New
comer, John A. Johnson and others on
the south, escaped beyond the hail
limit. Mr. Wertz reported very little
hall above the nunnery and says no
fruit was knocked off.
