WHY FULTON COUNTY
MERCHANTS SHOULD
ADVERTISE IN THE
FULTON COUNTY NEWS.
Written for the NEWS by

"GOing SOme!"

If grandfather could be shown
a business which had developed
from nothing a year to as much
as ten million a year in the short
space of five years, he would be
more astounded than at the sight
of a flying machine, a ride in a
submarine boat or at receiving a
wireless message.
The Firestone Tire Rubber Co.,
of Akron, Ohio, built their sales
up from zero to ten million dol
lars a year within five years,
through advertising.
For a Chinaman there would
be some excuse for following an
tique commercial methods of the
forefathers. 1t is a part of a
Chinaman's upbring.
For you, there is no excuse.
You live in a progressive age.
In the most progressive country,
and in FULTON COUNTY NEWS,
have a thordium, the advertising
columns of which are at your
command.

animal that dies or is destroyed,
suspected of being affected with
rabies, is severed from the car
cass near the shoulders, prompt

methods have failed to check the
spread of infection in a given
locality.

Will Pennsylvania Join?

Nineteen states now require an
examination in agriculture to be
passed before a teacher may OBJ
tain a certificate to teach. An
exchange asks the question "Will
Pennsylvania join this group"
We are a little surprised at that
exchange. Does it not know that
there are no pickings in it for
politicians? Does that exchange
forget why this state lost Alva
Agee, the best friend the farmer
ever had? Money appropriated
to State College could not be di-
verted into the pockets of poll
tieians, and for that reason that
school was given as little as pos
sible. The result was, that Prof
Agee was ashamed of the mig
gardly way in which the school
was handled, and he and two
others left that institution more
than a year ago. Such a howl
then went up from the press of
the country that the bosses had
a spasm of reform for a short
time, and they granted a few re-
forms, to save their faces. Our
present governor said in just this
many words, "The farmer is get
ting too much now." Well, three
other states think differently,
and three other states now enjoy
the work of three of the most
Conscientious friends our farm
ers ever had.

An Automatic PlOw.

A plow has been invented that
will work night and day without
the aid of either horse or men. A
little tractor with plow attached
is connected by a cable to post
set in the center of the field, like
a piece of chalk on the end of a
string when used to draw cir
Gle. The motor plow is then
started at the outer edge of the
field and as it can move only in a
circle, the cable is wound around
a drum on the post in the center
of the field, and the plow made
to work inward just the width of
another furrow, until all the rope
is wound up and the motor plow
in the center of a nicely ploughed,
circular field. We cannot con-
scientiously recommend this plow
for Fulton county; but we publish
the foregoing item just to show
the progress that is being made
toward solving the farm labor
problem. Do not be in any hur-
ry to buy this automatic plow.
Better buy an automobile.

Uncle Sans Birthday.

Uncle Sam will be 1873 years
old on Saturday. The age limit
of the class to which he belongs
is not three score and ten, so
that he is but young fellow yet.
About fifty years ago he donned
long pants, but some of his low
ing friends succeeded in forcing
him to continue to wear several
little foibles of boyhood days.
He is putting up such a kick
about it, now that he has grown
a mustache, that the little bows
and ribbons will not be worth re-
placing when he is through. We
cannot find fault with his desires
in that matter.
Some historian says that uncle
Sam was officially born on July
8th, instead of the 4th, and work
men are at present digging in
independence Square, about fifty
feet from the present site of In
dependence Hall, to find the old
foundations of another building
from the porch of which it is al
legged that the Declaration of In
dependence was read in public
for the first time. But no mat
ter what the find may be, we
have accepted July 4th as the day
to celebrate, and July Fourth it
will continue to be. We may
modify our form of celebration,
but cannot change the day.
Uncle was born in time of war,
and it seemed but natural, that
the booming of cannon should be
part of the days festivities.
Americans, however, are prone
to take short cuts to an end, and
they imported a contraption in
vented by the heather Chinese
to scare away devils and evil
spirits. This handy firecracker
cracked so many fingers and
thumbs of our boys, and so many
of them died horrible deaths from
tetanus, that city fathers yielded
to the demand of the times and
forbade their sale. Maybe there
will be enough old cannon before
long to supply each and every
town with one, and then we will
return to the old safe and sane
way of celebrating the fourth of
July, by looking at the cannon
instead of listening to it.

On May 27 last, Postoffice In
spector A. B. Crawford found
that ]. Frank Raifsnider, post
master at Orrstown, was short
in money orders, $94.57; postal
receipts $18.95. The amounts
named were demanded by the in
spector but Raifsnider would not
or could not pay. Later 1t was
paid for him by some friends.
Raifsnider admits the shortage
but claims that it was not in vio-
lation of the code.
Last Friday, Deputy U. S.

German Aviator and His Passenger
Crushed to Pulp in Fall.
BREMEN, Germany, June 5:-Al-
bert Buchstaetter, one Of the best
known German aviators and his pas
senger, Lieutenant Stille of the Ger
man army, were killed today when
their monoplane plunged to the
ground just after starting on the
northwest aviation circuit OF 40
miles.
The monoplane, guided by Buch-
y staetter rose and was taking curve
preparatory to Strengthening out for
the long journey when the accident
occurred. Apparently the aviator over
banked the machine. The monoplane
dropped so heavily that it was half
buried in the earth and had to be tax
en- apart before the bodies Of the two
men could be extricated.
Fifteen professional aviators with
memers of the army aviation corps
Sas passengers, had entered the con-
test but after the accident the flight
was abandoned. The calamity was
witnessed by distinguished gather
ing. among which was the grand duke
of Oldenburg.
Buchstaetter was an experienced
aviator who made several notable
flights during 1911.

CUBA Will BUY
SUPPLY OF arms
State Department Gives Con-
sent to Sale Of Old
Fashioned Rifles

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The state
department today authorized the war
department to honor the application of
the Cuban government for 5000 rifles
and one million pounds of ammunition
which is to be used to arm volunteers
and guards organized by plantation
owners to protect property against in
surrectos. President Gomez wanted the
latest type of Springfield rifles similar
to the 10000 already supplied to the
Cuban army. When it was found such
arms could not be sold without the ex-
press authority of congress and as it
would take some time to secure the
necessary legislation, the Cuban govern
ment decided to accept the Krag-Jor-
gems instead. These are practically
new weapons, having been supplied with
new barrels and put in thorough order
when they were withdrawn from the
regular army and set apart to form a
reserve supply of about 20o,N0o to
equip the volunteer army i'll case of
need.
The weapons will be sold to the Gu
ban government at about S. apiece plus
extra express charges. Lates advices
from the American consul at Santiago
are that the situation at Elcobra is
quiet and it is understood the Cuban
military authorities at Santiago have
stated that forces will be sent to El
comre if the situation demands.

assignment will be permanent. The

WOULD PREVENT
SHIP WRECKS
Senator Nelson Introduces
Bill With Stringent
Regulations

WASHINGTON, June AN all in
elusive bill, to be denominated: Oceans
safety of 1872" designed to cover all
navigation lessons drawn from the IT,
tanic disaster was introduced today by
Senator Nelson of Minnesota, chairman
of the commerce committee, which
through subcommittee investigated
the disaster.
The bill includes stringent regulations
for better wireless equipment, contin-
uously operated, on ocean and Great
Lakes vessels carrying fifty or more
persons, just as provided in the bill
which passed the house today. and al
most identical with the bill already
passed in the senate. This wireless Sec
ton vests the control of the apparatus
in the master of the vessel and to avoid
wireless communication being shut off
by failure of the vessels engines, re-
quires a powerful auxiliary power Sup
ply that can communicate 100 miles at
all times. The Nelson bill would recog-
nize foreign steamship laws, whenever
they are as American laws and regu-
lations, would equip every passenger
craft aboard together with other safety
equipment and would create a commits
sion of FIVE persons to investigate here
and abroad merchant marine construc-
ton. 1t would require a rigid port ex-
animation, boat drills for qualification
of seamen, would penalize failure to as
sist any person in distress at sea and
make criminally liable any master, man
aging owner or steamship director or
principal resident agent of a foreign
steamship for sending from an Ameri-
can port vessel so unseaworthy as to
endanger life.

suicide this morning In her apartment
at 20 Re du Colisse. She shot her
self through the heart with a revol-

years ago to study music. and was

afternoon and they came to the house
ignorant of the tragedy.

CHIHUAHUA, June 5rReinforce-

There is persistent rumor here that
Huerta has moved the federal forces no

The rebel cavalry may be moved south
ward to harass Hill, as he has sent
most of his own cavalry away on a
flank movement west of this city. The
infantry and artillery alone remain in
Huerta's columns, and the rebels may
take advantage OF this condition by
