to the water below. The door banged
shut and resumed its usual position.
Fortunately -her grandmother was in

trap door bang shut and quickly
turned to see that the little one was
gone. Realizing that she must be in
the well she hastily tore loose sev

to draw herself up. Telling her to
hold fast she called help and a man
living close by hurried to the scene,
descended into the well and brought
the child up without a hurt. Adams

LIGHTER WHEAT YIELD
Gettysburg, Pa., July 5. While
claims have been made that the
wheat crop of Adams county will
be a bumper one it is a little hard
to estimate the yield now that the
actual cutting of the grain is in
progress. On some of the farms of
the county the yield will be good,
possible above the average, while
on other farms, the owners find that
the heads are poorly filled and the
yield will not be up to normal. In
some cases it is reported that be
cause the heads are not filled the
yield will be from eight to ten
bushels per acre less than that of
last year-
