BaCcaIaareate Sermon.

The baccalaureate sermon to
the McConnellsburg High School
graduating class of 1914 was de-
livered in the auditorium of the
school building last Sunday even
ing, by the Rev. J. L. Yearick,
pastor of the Reformed Church
Of this place. Rev's j. L. Grove,
r. e. Peterman and j. V. Royer
also took part in the exercises of
the evening. A large choir, COM
posed of members of the several
choirs of the town, with Miss o.
i've Pittman as pianist, rendered
excellent music for the occasion.
Rev. Yearick chose for his
text He brought me into a large
place" The thought running
through the sermon was; Reli-
gion. The reverend gentleman
explained to the class that the
education they received in the
schools was but the foundation
of the superstructure to be erec-
ted by their own efforts. He
earnestly plead with them to
temper every act of their future
lives with one central thought
religion-in order that they might
attain the largest possible place
in the shaping of human affairs
in their respective spheres.

BIPARTISAN.
OBSERVER.

Some of our readers do not
know what is meant when they
see the term "bi-party" used in
political articles in many of our
newspapers and by speakers.
When "bi-" is used before any
other word, it means the same
as two" The term ''bi-party"
means, therefore, ''two-party."
This applies to a set of politicians
composed Of men from both the
republican and the democrat
party. They are accused of work
ing hand in hand for the further
ance of purely personal advance
ment, whether their accomplish
ments are for the good of the
whole people, or merely for
things that keep them feeding
from the public Crib" Both
the two old parties are suffering
from splits arising from this
source. There are clean men in
the field in both parties, but, in
most cases, they are on the side
of the split" that would destroy
the bi-party element. A vote at
the primaries for any man who
adheres to the bi-party gang
would be but to help foster bad
principles in government. Be
sure to attend the primary on
May 10th, and help destroy BIZ
partisanship, whether you vote
with the Democrats or with the

Walked TO Town.

Mrs. Aaron Morgret and her
neighbor, Mrs. Margaret Rich
ards, Of lower Ayr township,
spent the time from last Friday
until Monday visiting the form

these two estimable ladies could
have driven to town, they pre-
ferred to make the trip afoot.
They have both passed the three
score milestone in life's pathway
but they regarded the walk of
eight or nine miles as pleasant
recreation. The ladies called at

BIackheadS in Turkeys.

Every one who has tried to
raise turkeys knows that the dis
ease called blackhead is fatal to
the fowls and frequently kills all
the flock. The Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station has experiment
ted for several years with soured
milk as a preventive. Milk is
soured for from twenty-four
to sixty hours and placed where
the birds will eat all they will
every day. Begin with the poults
when they are ten days old and
never stop until the turkeys are
sold. Whenever poss Bile in
crease the acidity of the milk by
the use of Bacterium Bulgari-
cum, which druggists will order
for you from wholesale drug
gists. Feed the clabbered milk
and whey mixed together-never
separating them. Never, at any
time, let turkeys have quite all
the food of other kinds that they
will eat. Blackhead is an intes-
final disease, and too much grain
or other food enhances the trou-
BILE. Try the soured milk pre-
ventive. Remember, the sour
ed milk is not a cure for black
head, but is preventive.
Keep the milk at about 105 de-
grees while being soured.

TIE FACTOR OF SAFETY.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Tn e Engineer who plans a
bridge or a skyscraper makes his
calculations, based upon tn e
strength Of the steel, then he
adds the factor of safety. After
considering the breaking strain,
which tests have shown material
will stand, he generally multi
plies this by three for additional
security.
In the physical structure of our
bodies there is included a factor
of safety. Under all of the Or
dinary conditions OF life this mar
gin protects us. 1t take care of
the strains incidental to the ra-
tional existence for which the
calculations Of the Creator evil
IDENTIFY intended us.
When the body is exhausted by
over-work and under-feeding, or
by dissipation and excesses, this
factor of safety is so reduced
that it fails to protect, and we
become easy victims to communi-
cable or organic disease.
While modern conditions ofliv-
ing make exceptional demands
upon US, these are more than off
set by the Improvement in living
conditions, as statistics prove
that the average span of human
life is being gradually lengthen-
ed. The thing which we should
guard against is excessive and
irrational induIgences. 0rdinar-
ily our intelligence is a sufficient
guide if we permit it to govern
US. 1t is seldom that we pre-
sumo upon our strength without
being aware of the fact.
BE temperate and the factor of
safety will carry you through the
of your everyday
work.

ByerS Arrested in Ohio.

Deputy Sheriff A. D. Holman
arrested H. Clyde Byers, in Can.
ton, Ohio, last Thursday morning
and brought him to McConnells-
burg Friday, where he entered
bail for his appearance at Octo-
ber court, and departed for home
the same day.
Mr.. Byers and wife were resi-
dents Of McConnellsburg, they
leaving here in the spring of
1913, They kept house in the
brick building now owned by D.
A. Nelson on west Market street.
His family consisted of himself
and wife-the latter not being in
very good health, they took into
their home Rose Houpt, and or
phan a granddaughter of the late
Rev. Wolf Of the Reformed
church, and a daughter of the
late Valentine Houpt. Mr.. Byers
conducted a barber shop and
poolroom while in McConnells-
burg. Shortly after Mr.. Byers
had removed from town, infor-
nation was made against Mr..
Byers by Rose Houpt charging
him with fornication and bastardy
and attempt to commit abortion.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made to secure the arrest of Mr..
Byers. by Sheriff j. j. Harris and
Deputy Holman, for the reason
that they did not succeed in To-
eating their man.
Recently Deputy Holman re-
ceived a tip that Mr.. Byers was
in Canton, o., in the real estate
business. He at once went to
Harrisburg and procured the nee
essary papers from Governor
Tener; then, went to Columbus,
o., and their received supplement
tary documents, which enabled
him to make the arrest in Ohio
and bring the prisoner to Pen
nsylvania. Mr.. Byers' father-in-
law, who owns property in Green
burg, Pa, came with the Deputy
and Mr.. Byers to McConnells-
burg, and offered to bail Mr..
Byers in the sum of fifteen hun
dred dollars. After District At
torney S. w. Kirk satisfied him
self by telegraphing that the faith |
er-in-law was good" for the
amount, the bail bond was ex-
ecuted, and the prisoner given
his liberty.

Washington House Closed.

Unlike the river, the affairs of
men do not go on forever. The
famous old Washington House
temporarily closed it's doors t o
the general public last Saturday
evening, and on Tuesday the fa-
miliar oval shaped sign was taken
down. For thirty-tour years Mr..
and Mrs. S. B. Woollet have en-
tertained the public at that old
Corner, and there will be much
disappointment throughout tn e
County when patrons learn that
their favorite stopping place is
closed. Mrs. Woollet does not
feel equal to the endless task of
experimenting the hotel any
longer, and they are offering the
house for sale. 1t is too good a
stand to remain closed very long,
and we predict that it will again
be opened by some enterprising
party who will continue to cater
to the needs of the travelling pu :
lie including the many summer
boarders attracted to our noun
tain village. Woollet's will live
privately in the building until it
is sold or rented.

Travelling in Canada.

John Henry, of Clear Ridge
has been travelling in Western
Canada, and returned about two
two weeks ago to get ready to
locate in the British country north
of US. He will go back to Can
ada in a week or two.
AS he looked from the window
of the train he jottedIdown notes
of the scenery. While passing
through the Saskatchewan dis
trict on April Goth he described
it as a wonderful country. One
of the things not yet extinct be-
fore the march of civilization is
the prairie chicken, great flocks
of which he saw from the car
window. However, that country
is rapidly being settled by farm
ers, and stock could be seen graz
ing while snowbanks still re-
mained, and well known Ameri-
can farm machinery was seen
everywhere. Crossing into AL
berta he saw the farmers plough
ing and narrowing, which would
indicate that it is warmer there
than in southern Pennsylvania,
although so much farther north.
This brief description serves for
the greater part of the Canadian
country traversed by Mr.. Henry,
and the stacks of grain and hay,
and the great herds of cattle i'm
pressed him so favorably that he
intends to go back and try for
some of the easy money" him

A GLORIOUS DAY COMING!
Observer ReiOiceS in the Triumph Of
Science Over Old Fashioned Meth
DDS OF House Cleaning.

DEAR EDIToR:-Kindly allow
the writer to tell of the good
news when men will shout for
joy, and the good housewives
will always be the sweet
angels they are. Men for ages
have been made uncomfortable,
miserable, and wretched because
the good women of the house
must rule and keep up the old
fashioned practice of house clean
ing. The good housewife, as in
days of old, still dons her dusting
cap, turns up her skirt, and goes
through the rooms like an aveng-
ing angel. With scrubbing brush
es, mops, brooms, busters, soap,
sand, lime and step ladders, she
goes forth to battle with dust,
dirt, cobwebs, and vermin. The
former good, sweet, angelic house
wife seems to be transformed in
to q veritable fury-caring moth
ing for the comfort of her faith
ful spouse, ready to drive him
from his throne. Men are forced
to flee where they can-eat what
they can get, and sleep, if they
sleep at all, in cold, damp, uncon-
genial quarters.
Everything belonging to the
lord of the house is turned topsy-
turvey. His apparel, books
business papers, and apparatus
are all consigned, promiscuously,
to the closet or attic, so that their
bearings can't be found for
months. No wonder men dread,
hate, shirk, and shrink under it,
The writer has just experienced
the horrors of it all. Mems
homes are all in disorder and con-
fusion of battle without til e
slaughter. Like the old time
house cleanings, the housewives
go at it twice or thrice a year.
They seem to delight in the
gloomy riot and picturesque con-
fusion, never thinking it would
be better to keep the house clean |
all the time.
But joy comethl The chariot |
of progress rolls on The old |
customs will disappear, though |
conservation languish long. The
old crucial house cleaning will be
old fashioned before we know it.
The old dusty, disease-breeding
carpets are being replaced by pol
ished floors. Every part of our
houses and their furnishings will
be vacuum cleaned, and this with
but little effort. For those good
housewives who love sweet, health
ful whitewashed walls and cell
ings the fine nozzle of the sprayer
will do the work far more artistic
ally than the old way.
The day-the glorious day-is
coming when our homes will be
clean all the time, and the good
housewife a slave no more!

NUMBER SS
THE CULTURE OF ALFALFA.
One Of the Plants That viii Restore
lilly Fields TO a Paying
Basis.

|. Kind of Land. Amy field
that brings good clover which
does not heave in the spring will
bring alfalfa. On slate land the
roots will work into the crevices,
shatter the slate and make the
soil deeper and more retentive of
moisture.
2. Lime-Alfalfa must have
lime. 80 bushels of stone lime
per acre (air-slaked) gives better
results than smaller quantities.
If the field has been wei lined
within three years, drill capacity
OF air slaked lime, drilled in, will
be enough.
3. Nurse Crop. AT best nurse
crops are dangerous; usually fa-
tai.
a. Time Of Seeding. Best re-
suits have been from seeding
right after wheat harvest. Corn
stalk and potato ground may be
disced or thoroughly spring-tootn-
ed for July seeding. Stubble
ground may be plowed and seed
ed in August or early September.
Late September seedlings are apt
to winter-kill.
8. Seed. Use only northern
grown seed; it is harder. Turke-
stan seed, southern seed and
scrub seed should be avoided.
With high grade seed use 10 lbs.
per acre; otherwise from 20 to 80.
6. Inoculation. Always neces-
sary; failure to do so is usually
fatal. Liquid cultures now fur
nished by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture are very satisfac-
tory, quite as good as the soil
method, with less expense, labor
and danger. Cost is nothing.
Write me as to this.
Z. Preparation. Deep plowing
and thorough narrowing for this
very deep-rooted plant. Where
a sod is turned under it must be
rolled to pack it down firmly.
8. Commercial Fertilizer con-
tanning 10 per cent phosphoric
acid to about 10 to II per cent.
potash, without nitrogen, will
pay. 1t is made up by mixing l
ton of 16 per cent. phosphate
with from 3 to A sacks of muriate
Of potash.
9. Selecting the Field. Alfalfa
deserves the best field on the
farm. Where the farm is hilly,
it is good plan to get the hill
sides into alfalfa and farm the
more level lands. Hillside farm
ng is ck-breaking work and
rs a rule we don't do it so thor
'ughly or proftably as where the
work is easier.
