1t is no proof that the German
should win in this warefare be-
cause he is the better prepared,
provided the Almighty's plans
should be otherwise. Neither is
it proof, if our attempts meet
with the approval of God, that
they will succeed, if it suits Him
that His purpose must be accom-
plished through that fail u re.
Yesterday heard a person say
Il believe the German will be
overcome, God and the Kaiser do
not agree. But we must re-
member that much that is evil
succeeds in this world: God and
satan never agree, yet satan has
been permitted to rule the affairs
of this world for a time; but in
the end his failure is certain and
complete, his sentence having
been pronounced ages ago by Je-
hovah. Neither was there sympa-
thy between Christ and Judas;
yet Christ permitted him to be-
come one Of his deciples, that
the Scriptures might be fulfill
ed."
War is portion of Gods pro-
vidence that cannot be read un-
til long after it has occurred; the
results will be read in the pages
of history; only Faith can reveal
it now; and while our hearts
quake within us at the spectacle
presented to our view, and many
are praying for its cessation,
still | do not think war will cease
until the Prince of Peace comes
to set up His reign. This must
be the Church's hope and the be-
levers comfort; and the calm
comes to us after the considera-
ton of the thought "The Lord
God omnipotent reigneth."

Automobile Accidents.

While driving along the road
between Robertsdale and Broad
top City last Sunday evening in
his new Ford automobile, a seri-
GUS accident befel Jacob Bolinger
of Dudley, Pa. In some way, the
machine upset, throwing the oc-
cupants out, and injuring Mrs.
Bolinger. The lamps being light
ed, set fire to the machine, which
was entirely destroyed.
About one o'clock, Monday af-
ternoon, a boy about II years of
age stopped at a store on his way
to school to get a ruler. In leav-
ing the store he rushed out across
the pavement and without look
ing ran directly in trout of big
touring car, which ran over the
boy killing him instantly.
A blowout caused big tour
ing car to crash into the rocks
between Everett and the Cross
ings Tuesday afternoon and crush
one Of the wheels into kindling
wood and otherwise damage the
car. One of the ladies was dash
ed against the rocks, and so Sc
verely injured that death ensued
in a few minutes.

NUMBER SO
CONSERVATION VS.. DESTRUCTION.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

The involvement of the larger
portion Of the civilized world in
warfare, the frightful destruc-'
ton of human life due to modern,
arms and the vastness of the op-
erations has focused the attention
of our entire Nation upon the
events occurring across the seas
and has cast a gloom over the
minds of all thinking men.
Within a generation phenomen-
al strides have been made toward
the conservation of mankind
throughout the world. We have
begun to learn how to preserve
the weak and protect the strong
from disease. Already the eff
forts along these lines have re-
suited in enormous economic saw
ings and have made possible gi-
gantic monuments to the con-
structive ability of mankind such
as the Panama Canal.
When the great Nations of the
world are sending the flower of
their manhood to destruction it is
almost natural to feel that efforts
to conserve life are ephemeral.
However, when the work of de-
struction has ceased the work of
rebuilding must begin. The
economic struggle for existence
will be keener than ever before
in the history Of the world and
the conservation of the health of
the peoples struggling to recu-
perate will be still greater fac
tor in their efforts to regain their
physical and economic equilib-
rum.
AS a nation we are in a unique
and important position; to main
tain which we will need sound
bodies and sane minds.
Let us continue with redoubled
vigor the work of improving in
dividual and public health.

Sunday School Convention.

The McConnellsburg District
Sunday School Convention was
held in the High School Audito-
rum last Sunday evening. Not
all of the speakers on the pro-
gram were present; but all of the
subjects were well discussed.
Revs. Yearick, Royer, and
Grove, discussed requirements of
good teacher. Each of the
speakers laid great stress upon
the necessity of familiarity with
the Scriptures in order that
teachers may proftably teach
them. No one can successfully
teach a subject with which he is
not familiar. County Secretary
Rev. r. E. Peterman made a re-
port of the work of the Associa-
ton in the County. Twenty.odd
friends each pledged a dollar to-
ward defraying the expense of
the work in the County, and we
think that the Secretary felt very
much encouraged with the pros
poets for sufficient funds to make
the work go more smoothly.
The following officers were
elected to serve in the McCon-
nellsburg district during the en-
suing year:
President, John P. Sipes; Vice
President, James s. Brattan; Sec
retary, Mrs. Harry OFT, Treasur-
er, George w. Reisner. In addi-
ton to the foregoing list of Off
GERS, there were a number elect
ed to superintend the work of
many branches of the Associa-
ton, but whose names we could
not learn in time for this weeks
issue. They will appear later
with explanation of the work
that each is to do.

legs. While Mr.. Goetz, made an
effort to attract the attention of
sleepers in the neighborhood, he
did not succeed, and was obliged
to lay helpless in great pain until
he was found by some passer-by

McConnellsburg and DR.. Camp
bell, of New Grenada were sum-
moned, and these doctors reduced
the fracture, placed the limb in

ing, Eugene took Mr.. Goetz, to
Mercersburg, where he boarded

JOHN n. HIXsON.


JOHN N. HIXsoN.
The following in reference to
the death of John HiXon, which
occurred at his home near Akers-
vile on Friday morning, August
28th, was received at this Office
too late for publication last week
No greater blow could have
come to his home than the death
of this loving father and public
benefactor. To the home, be-
cause only year and five months
ago the mother passed to eterni-
ty, and that now, the father has
followed, the sorrow is great.
He leaves to mourn his loss six
sons, three daughters, five broth
ers, four sisters, and two grand
children, as follows; Nathan B.,
Blaine, Morton, Renford, Mark
and George, the youngest 2years
old; Mrs. Haslet Walters, Ada
and Elizabeth; brothers-Newton
of Gala, Ohio; Doyle, of Crystal
Springs, Jerry of Emmaville;
Frank, of Altoona; Milton, of
Cumberland, Md: sisters Mrs.
William Mills, of Robinsonville;
Mrs. Elizabeth McKibbin, of
Crystal Springs; Mrs. r. E.
Swartzwelder, Of BreezewOod;
Mrs. George W. Spawn, of Indi-
ana; grandchildren Marian Wal
ters and Verl HiXson.
"The deceased was born at
Crystal Springs, February, 1864.
died August %, 1914, aged so
years, 6 months and 21 days.
February II, 1887, he was united
in marriage to Charity Annie
Duvall, who preceded him to the
grave a little over a year ago.
About 80 years ago he was con-
verted and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, of which he
remained a faithful and devoted
member to his death.
AS a father in the home he
was kind, but firm; unexcelled in
devotion, industry, providence
and love. AS a citizen he was
leader in all questions of public
concern, being consulted by his
fellow-citizens on all questions
touching the public welfare.
Fraternally he was a leading
figure in Washington Camp, No.
GIT, P. O. S. of A., which camp
assisted touchingly at the funeral
services. AS a Christian gentle
man and member Of the church,
consistent and devoted. In pri-
vate and public life, religion
dominated his actions and of late
years, and especially the night
before his death at the closing
service of the Campmeeting, he
was so filled with the Spirit that
he literally dubbed over"

Sunday afternoon at one o'clock,

their spare acreage with wheat
this fall. He said that the Eu-
ropean nations would not be able
to cultivate their fields if the war
continued, and as all must eat,
this country would have to have
wheat to feed them. Mr.. Wish
arts theory is all right; but at
the rate they are killing themsel-
YES off, maybe there will not be
many Europeans left to eat our
wheat.
The same gentleman said that
he realized 81 per head from his
sheep this year when he sold the
wool. This led him to under
take to reverse the sheep busi-
ness, namely, instead of letting
the business ''go to the dogs" he
has been going for the dogs"
When Claud Cook, of Lanark,
ILL.,, was home last week, he said
that the cattle business in his
state was ION the bum. The
breaking up of the prairie sods,
for farming purposes, had de-
stroyed the pastures. He CLAIMS
that cheap beef will never again
be known in America. Other
countries may open up pasture
lands, but the increase of the
worlds population will increase
the demand; SO that if eastern
stockmen have lands that are bet
ter adapted to raising steers than
they are for growing wheat and
corn, they need have no fear that
they will be caught by a sudden
return to extremely low prices
for beef cattle.
We heard a little discussion re-
Gently regarding the relative val
ue of bone meal, and that of fer
tilizer obtained from natural min
eral sources. Upon the SUPPOSE
ton that the analysis is the same
there should be no difference in
the price. Bone sells for more
than other carriers of nitrogen
and phosphoric acid because
enough people think it is better;
and for that reason the manufac-
turer can keep the price of the
limited supply higher than on
other goods. The chief value of
bone meal is in the small per
cent. of nitrogen, and a large
per cent. of phosphoric acid it |
carries; but since these two ele-
ments are identical, wherever
found, we are disposed to buy |
the one obtained from the cheap
er mineral sources. Raw bone is
good for any plant that requires
years to mature, such as grape
vines, small trees, &C., as it acts
slowly. 1t is good for any other
plant also, but do not pay more
for it than for the same strength
natural mineral goods. Ask any
honest dealers opinion.
