The farmers of Pennsylvania
are greatly interested in the
valuable prizes that are being
offered by the management of the
PennsylvanlaFrult, Livestock and
Dairy Show that is to be held IN
Duquesne Garden, Pittsburgh,
Pa, January 1920, 1912. A pair
of Chester White pigs has been
offered for the best 30 ears Of
corn, any variety. This affords
an unusual opportunity for a
farmer to start a herd of pure
bred hogs. The leading dairy
cattle breeders of the State have
been very liberal in their offers
of pure-bred bull calves for but.
ter, cream and milk prizes.
Three Ayrshire caves and two
Jersey calves, all from dams

Fort London Boy Acquitted.

On the 10Th of last July NOV
ing picture show was on the

Loudon. A lot of boys were
there and began throwing apple
cores and green apples. One hit

Garnet Gish aged 10 years was
there playing mumbleypeg, and
Frank threw an apple at Garnet
who threw the one that struck
Franks little brother. Frank
SAID, "IIit me and not my little
brother and Garnet hit Frank
with an apple or core. Frank
and Garnet began lighting, strlk.
ing each other with their hands.
Some boys lald a stick between
the two fl : hting boys, and Frank
and Garnet stood on either side
of this stick, and If one stepped
over, the other would push HIM
back. Frank, who wore slippers
On which were half soles, kicked
Garnet on the left hip with his
right foot. About this time Gar.
nets mother called, and Garnet
ran home on an easy trot. Four
DAYS later, Garnet complained Of
pains, a physician was called, and
in a week from the time he began
to complain, he died. An autopsy
was performed, and 1t was found
that death had resulted from In
jury to the spine and hip. The
case was tried in the court at
Chambersburg last week and

The CARE OF YOUNG TREES.
What to Do For Young Trees Received
From the Nursery Too Late For
Fall Planting.

At this time Of year many per.
sons are writing to Prot. IL. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, Pa, asking for information
as to what to do with young trees
which they are receiving from
nurseries, but which can not be
planted owing to the freezing
Of the ground. They wish to
know If they can be kept until
spring, andif so, how. Such in
qulries Professor Surface has
replied to as follows:
"As long as the ground is not
frozen hard, or is not too wet, you
can plant the trees, and expect
just as good, or even better re
suits, than though they were
planted IN the spring; but, Of
course, when the ground is
closed by hard freezing 1t is i'm
possible to think of planting
them, and arrangements should
then be made for holding them
until it thaws. They can be
planted at any time when it
thaws enough to work the soil,
but planters should be careful
that the trees are not set when
the ground IS too wet.
"a damp cellar is good place
which to keep trees over the win.
err. Three years ago l carried a
cellar full during the entire win
ter with nothing over them but
some sacklng material, which was
wet once or twice a month by
throwing a little water over it
just to help keep it damp. Ifthe
cellar is warm it should be cooled
off by ventilation during cold
weather.
"If no cellars available one can
dig through the frozen crust of
earth and get down INTO the loose
soil, and make a deep trench in
which the trees can be heeled IN
by ourylng the roots to half foot
in depth greater than they grew. |
Let the earth be mounded up well |
around them forming a ridge, and |
it will not be necessary to use
straw, as this may possibly at |
tract and protect nice. In very
cold regions, however, 1t will be
better to cover the young trees
with. )dder or some other
protec ting material" "

The weather was delightful

were just warmed up about right

four minutes after II o'clock they
had reached the top, after a con-
tinuous climb of four miles and
overcoming an altitude OF 1000
feet. AT this point, they gath
cred some wood, built a fire, us
ing but one match to ignite the
wood, and prepared their dinner,
which consisted OF broiled beef,
coffee, bread, and butter. At

northward along the top of the
mountain until they reached the
famous Linton Rocks, where
after feastlng their eyes on the

lay at their feet, they broke down

ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL.
The State Wants Every Child to At
tend Regularly and no Hook.
ey Playing.

The state gives liberal aid for
the maintenance of our public
schools, and no extra expense is
imposed for books or other ne
cessary supplies, upon the par
ents of those who do attend, thus
making our schools free in the
fullest sense Of the term. But
in return the State wants every
child between the ages of six and
sixteen years to be regular in at.
tendance, in order that they may
be qualified for the activities of
life. To this requirement there
ls a provision that children be-
tween fourteen and sixteen years
of age who have acquired a Ger
tam degree of proficiency may
be given certificates excusing
them from attendance. But
with all these liberal provisions
some parents are so Indifferent
as to allow their children to at
tend school or remain away, just
as it suits them, and some re-
quire them to work when they
should be preparing themselves
for work, hence we have compul.
sorry attendance laws. The new
school code makes the following
provisions for this:
Section 1882. The board of
school directors of every school
district in this Commonwealth of
the first, second or third class,
shall, and IN any school district
of the fourth class may, employ
one or more persons to be known
as attendance officers, whose du.
ties shall be to enforce the pro-
visions of this Act regarding
compulsory attendance. Such
attendance officers shall, in ad-
dltlon to the duties imposed upon
them by this Act, have full police
power without warrant, and may
arrest or apprehend any child
who fails to attend school in com.
pllance with the provisions of this
Act, or who Is incorrlgible, III
subordinate, or disorderly dur
ing attendance at school or on his
way to or from school.
Parents should not neglect
their duty or they may be made
to feel the penalty of the law.

SEVERE WINTER.
Fierce Cold Waves and Billiards are

The coal bins are likely to re-

A fierce blizzard covering a
wide territory is predicted by
HIM after the holidays.
"Blow! Well If the black wavy
lines are correct the snow plows
will surely be taxed to their ut.

clared.
"Real winter weather will set

COLD WEATHER hints.
Save Health and Fuel by Seeing That
Air in Room is Properly
MOiStened.

Karl de Schwelnitz we'll known
IN McConnellsburg, and who Is
Executive Secretary, Pennsylva-
MIA society for the Prevention Of
tuberculosis, gives the following
advice:
Don't complain If your coal bills
are high this winter. 1t will be
your own fault. To fill ones
home with a hot, dry air, as most
people do, is both expensive and
unhealthful. berculosls,
pneumonia and colds lie IN wait
for persons living IN this kind of
atmosphere.
On the other hand, properly
moistened air does not have TO be
heated to as great temperature
as dry air in order TO be made
comfortable.
When you feel cold, therefore
instead of seeing whether the
furnace needs fuel, find out il the
air does not want water. On a
cold day the windows of your
room should have presplred look
of kitchen window on washday.
In very cold weather the panes
ought to be frosted. If you find
this is not the case, the air prob
ably needs a drink.
Place pan Of water in the room
or If you have steam heat, allow a
little of the steam to escape.
You will soon feel comfortable
although the temperature of the
room will not have risen. With
properly molstened air a room
need not be heated to more than
GA degrees.

NUMBER 13
ROAD SUPERVISORS.
Important Meeting Arranged TO Be Held
in AcCOunellsbrg, Saturday, Jan.
uary Thirteenth.

Not any one thing aside from
the public schools is of such vital
interest to the people OF Fulton
county as the Improvement of
her public roads. Good roads
mean increased value OF farms;
increased size Of farmers bank
accounts; increased pleasure in
driving or hauling; and an in
creased influx of outsiders who
will want TO come in make Fulton
county their home, and help pay
the taxes. More progress has
been made, both IN schools and
roads, during the past decade,
than IN century before, and
those who are living a score of
years from this time will sea
marvellous changes for the better
in this county.
Owing to the recent changes in
the law relating to public roads,
it has been thought the part of
wisdom for the supervisors Of the
County TO assemble at McCon5
nellsburg, and have FIRST Deputy
Highway Commissioner Hunter
of Harrisburg present. to put
every officer straight in the mat
ter of his official duties. Super
visors Will learn more in an hour
from Mr., Hunter about the law,
than they would find out IN a
whole term otherwise. Hence,
let every Supervisor IN the Couu.
ty make it a point to be present
at 10 o'clock, Saturday January
18th, at the Court house, McCon.
nellsburg, and hear Mr.. Hunter,
and let Mr.. Hunter hear what you
have to say. What's worth doing
at all, is worth dong with all
your might.
