Family Reunion.

The six sons and five daugh-
ters, thirty grandchildren and
one great-grand child of Mrs.
Matilda Helman, north Firs t
street, McConnellsburg, arranged
to surprise her last Saturday by
having a grand family reunion
to celebrate her sixty-ffth birth
day. The oldest son, Mr.. Bert
Helman, lives in West Virginia,
and has not been home for thir-
teen years. Not to surprise their
mother to the shocking point, he
and John, the next oldest son
called first. This prepared the
way for the suggestion by the
mother that the rest be notified
of the happy home coming, and
the surprise considered of the
fact that in a short time all were
ushured in. All were present eX-
cept one daughter, Mrs. Maggie
Keefer, of Mercersburg, who is
not well.
The children and families pres
ent were; Ollie Warren, wife and
two children, and Harry Helman
wife and son all of Mercersburg.
Mrs. Charles Tritle and son of
Fort Loudon; John Helman, wife
and five children, Mack Helman
wife and two children, Lloyd
Ray and wife, and Herbert Hell
man and wife all of McConnells-
burg. Miss Bessie Helman, of
Chambersburg; Irwin Helman of
Newville, Pa, and Bert Helman,
Purgitsville, w. Va. Their pas
tor, Rev. j. Leidy Yearick and
his wife also added pleasure to
the occasion by their presence.
At about four o'clock all depart
ed for their respective homes,
wishing their mother many more
happy birthdays.

secretary, and Levi Keefer, of
Ayr, and Harlan Wishart, of
Wells, tellers. The next impor-
tant item of business was a mo-
tion which was unanimously car
ried that the convention sit with
closed doors. This was a polite
notice to your reporter to went"
and he vented"
1t leaked out, however, that
three candidates were nominated,
namely, Horace M. Griffith. of
Wells; Harper P. Barton of Tay-
lor, and j. Emory Thomas, of
Ayr. These gentlemen were all
graduates of the Cumberland
Valley state normal school, and
are all able school men; but the
fact that Mr.. Thomas was the
oldest in point of age as well as
in point of service in the schools
of the County, and that he had
been turned down in a previous
contest for the office, a majority
of the directors present felt that
the election was now due him,
and the vote after one ballot,
stood; Thomas, 80; Griffith, s;
and Barton, 6.
j. Emory Thomas was born in
Ayr township nearly AZ years
ago, and, has been a resident of
that township all his life. He
has taught 25 years, seventeen
of which were in McConnells-
burg, thirteen of these seventeen
years he was Supervising Prin-
cipal.
Under the new school code, the
term is now four years, and the
minimum salary, fifteen hundred
dollars a year. Mr.. Thomas is
the fourteenth Superintendent in
a period Of sixty years, his pre-
decessors having been Ross, Rob-
inson, Smith, Gray, Davis, Wood
cock, Winters, Woodall, Barton,
(J. F. Peck, Chestnut, Barton
&C. F.), and Lamberson.

Good for Cholera Too.

Last week we told our readers
how to prevent the disease known
as blackhead, in turkeys, by let
ting them eat all the sour milk
they want. Make the milk sour
as possible by keeping it warm
for several days. Mrs. w. Scott
Brant informs us that the soured
milk is good also for cholera in
chickens. The way to treat fowl
is to pen them up in clean quar-
tiers as soon as possible after they
show symptoms of the disease
and not permit them to have a
morsel of any other kind of food
and drink, except soured milk,
until they get lively again.
When chickens have cholera the
passage from the craw to the giz-
zard closes, and more solid food
cannot pass through. The clab-
ber serves as food, drink and
medicine. We might add that
sour milk clabber is one of the
very best summer foods for hui
man beings, also, and is highly
recommended by physicians.

Recent Wedding.
SCHOOLEY-MELLOTT.

A very pretty wedding took
place on April 20, 1914, in the
home of Rev. and Mrs. John
Mellott, of Pleasant Ridge, when
their adopted daughter, Miss
Virginia Mellott, was united in

ey, son of Mr.. and Mrs. |. w.
Schooley, of Harrisonville. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
E. j. Croft in the presence of a
number of invited guests. The

Wilson Will Win With Waiting.

When President Woodrow Will
son issued the decree that the
Western Hemisphere should rid
itself of the Mexican pesthole of
chronic revolution, and that this
country would pursue a course
toward her radically different
from that which had ever before
been tried, he was branded by
his enemies as a sissy" a tut
tut" man, school teacher presi-
dent, Missionary" novice, "
and all the sighting terms in
their vocabulary. Never h a S
there been a president who stem
med a swifter current of ridicule,
ENHANCEMENT, and hindrance to
the injection of rig h t eous-
ness into governmental affairs,
and into our relations with other
countries. But never, for an
hour did he lose sight of the path
he had carefully mapped out for
his course of action.
To-day we fully believe Watch
full Waiting" will winl Huerta
is sick of the mess" he has got
ten both himself and the Mexi-
can people into before the world,
and he is now whining for safe
conduct to some country where
he may be free from it all. Our
war ships are now in Mexican
waters, not to fight Mexico, but
to fight for Mexico. A small
very mall-portion of the educa-
ted citizens of Mexico are for
constitutional government by
the people and for the people,, Z"
and it will be to assist this ele-
ment that troops will be landed,
if it come to the worst. Mr..
Wilson's anger does not make
everything look red before him
and cause him to charge at it
like a stupid bull. Instead, he
maintains a calm attitude before
which savagery quailed, and has
won nations by the power of his
will.
