Make II A Fair.

Why not add a feature to the
Harvest Home Picnic held annu-
ally in the Cove by erecting ta-
bles and pens Of rough boards
for the display of ''brag" speci-
mems of garden, farm, and home
products. Everybody likes to
look at big stalks of corn and
grain, as well as other big things
In our observation, the only OBJ
lection to fair as a side show is
that it nearly always grows into
such proportions that the public
demands two or three days time
to take it all in. A coop of fine
chickens, a pair of fine sheep or
hogs, and even larger stock, are
not hard to bring for a day, and
sales and exchanges are frequent
ly made in this way. 1t would
pave the way to better coopera-
ton.

See Pennsylvania First.

W. R. D. Hall, ESQ.,, Statisti-
clan of the Pennsylvania State
Highway Department was in
town Monday arranging details
for the Governors Automobile
Touring party in October. Gov-
ernor Brumbaugh wants Pennsyl-
vanians to see Pennsylvania first,
and he proposes to give a select
ed party a practical Field Lesson.
The party consisting Of about
two hundred tourists will leave
Harrisburg Monday morning, Oc-
tober 4th, take lunch at McCon-
nellsburg, and spend the night at
Bedford Springs. While it is not
to be a speed test, it is expected
that they will easily cover thou
sand miles during the week, end
ing up in Philadelphia Saturday
afternoon.

Horses Too Slow.

Nothing impresses one more
than the fact that horses are
now considered too slow for the
citizens of outlying districts in
Fulton county when they wish to
visit the County Seat. Instead
of having to spend parts of two
days, as formerly, they now
spend but part of one day while
making the round trip in autos.
Thursday of last week, six auto
loads of witnesses, and others,
from western townships attended
a hearing in town in the settle
ment of the Levi Smith estate.
George Layton, in his car, had
w. L. Mckee, Simon Layton and
Lem Smith. George Mckee had
his wife, Miss Bessie Carlson and
Philip Lanehart. B. w. Norris
brought Jacob Miller, and Albert
Hess, wife, and two children. C.
T. Layton brought his wife and
daughter Esther, and Henry
Sharpe and wife. Aaron Layton
brought his wife, Chester Layton
and wife, and John Smith. Ed
ward Diel brought Miller TrNax,
Sherman Truax, and Upton Pies
singer. All spent several hours
in town and returuded home be-
fore dark same day.

Golden Wedding.

Tuesday, July 26th, was the
golden anniversary of the we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. David Cor
don, of Thompson township. A
few days previous to the event,
word was mysteriously passed
around that since such happy
events are rare, the opportuni-
ty to celebrate one in honor of
two highly esteemed friends and
neighbors should not be lost, and
that the celebration should be a
surprise to Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon.
Everything moved like clock
work for the entertainment of
the bride and groom and the
friends and relatives responsible
for the joyous occasion. 1t was
a day of good fellowship, capped
by a royal feast. May Mr.. and
Mrs. Gordon live to celebrate
their diamond wedding and then
some. We regret that space for
bids printing the names of the
seventy-fve guests who were
there.

Killed al Hancock.

Last Saturday afternoon as an
automobile party composed of
Charles Hinley, Jr., and his faith

Charles Hinley, of Long Island,
N. Y, were crossing the tracks

down by a train and all very seri-
ously injured. An express train

Tractor Demonstration.

Many farmers are watching the
progress being made by manu-
facturers of small farm tractors
intended to take the place, to
some extent, of horses for draw
ing all kinds of implements. Our
Illinois subscribers living near
Bloomington, will have the op-
portunity to witness on August
23 to 2S, demonstration work of
all makes and sizes of farm tract
ors, when GOO acres will be
by competing firms. We
would appreciate a letter from
some Illinois farmer who may at
tend that show. Tell US what
you think of them.

Don't Blame the Butcher.

Don't get mad at the butcher
if some day soon, you see a sign
on his counter forbidding you to
finger the meat. 5000 cards are
being mailed to butchers of the
State to be hung conspicuously.
These cards state in substance
that you may not test the quality
of meat by poking fingers intoit.
Sanitary Boards say that the pub
lie must no longer be compelled
to buy meat into which people
have poked their fingers, hence
the cards. This means that here
after, you must wait to test the
meat until you reach home, then
test it with your teeth.

Eight More.

On July Ist, eight more coun-
ties in Pennsylvania were added
to the number that have organi-
cations to maintain a county a.
gent appointed by State College.
This makes twenty-five counties
in Pennsylvania that have these
resident good fellows to spend
their whole time with the people
helping them to make life on the
farm profitable and interesting,
especially the younger set. Twen
ty-two is just about one third of
the number of counties in the
State. All will eventually have
them. We would not like to see
Fulton county tag in at the tail
end. West Virginia has twenty
three agents.
Detailed accounts of the duties
of these agents of the Agricultur-
al Department have been so Of
ten published, that we need only
to remind our readers that these
men simply put the organized
farmers of a county on a busi-
ness footing exactly as corpora
tons hire experts to guide their
business and keep up the efficien-
cy end. That day has long pass
ed when every farm can be a lit
tie world of its own. Coopera-
ton and vital connection with the
great throbbing world of busi-
ness is now absolutely necessary
to the farmer if he would make
the most of his business. This is
the idea of Farm Extension. "
Not larger farms; but the extern
sion of farm interests, and there
must be a trained clerk" at
the head of the business.

Lizard in His Mouth.

Our townsman Thomas John
son was out along the Ridge,
one of those hot days last week,
and being very thirsty went to
the Nesbit spring to get a drink.
He picked ups small bucket at
the spring, dipped some water,
and began to drink without think
ing it necessary to look into the
bucket. After taking a swallow
or two, he drew into his mouth a
lizard about three inches in length
and came very near swallowing
it. He didn't swallow it. He
did not want to swallow it. He
spit it out and put his foot on it.
The lizard was not TO blame.

OF Interest TO Girls.

Men and boys must not fiatter
themselves that all the work of
the Department of Agricultural
Extension at State College, Pa,
is intended for them. Every girl
in Fulton county, between the
age of ten and eighteen years,
may compete for prizes in bread
making, sewing, darning, mend
ing, gardening, and indeed, in
nearly every feature of home
making. There are no prizes Of
fered for catching beaux; but we
have a strong suspicion that the
girl who can win the most prizes
for the foregoing good points
will not need to try" to catch
one. The best beau will catch
her if she don't look out. If you
want to know all about these
girls clubs, write a postal or a
letter, TO Miss Pearl Macdonald,
State College, State College, Pa,
and ask her to send you informa-
tion. 1t costs nothing except the
stamp. This is no advertisement
but it was written by the News
editor to help his girl readers to
have good times right at home,
to learn from each other and from
other girls in the State, how to
make good homes and make mon
ey at the same time. You make
money whether you win prizes or
not. State College is maintained
by the State, chiefly for farmers
and their families, and every tax
payer should see to it that his
family derive some benefit by
taking advantage of every offer
made by the College.

JULY HONOR ROLL.
List Of New Subscribers and Others
Who Have Paid Subscription Dur
Ing the Month Of July.

A lai percentage of the SUBJ
scribers of the FULTON COUNTY
NEWS are farmers, and July has
been a busy month with them.
But the farmer of to-day is a
business man, and when his sub
scription falls due in July, he can
meet the obligation in the same
business like way that he pays
his harvest hands or settles for
his binder twine. This is graft
flying, and it makes, the life of
newspaper men all the more tol-
cradle in hot weather.
Thank, you friends. If there
is anything wrong with your SUBJ
scription account, or if the paper
continues to come after you wish
it discontinued, drop us a postal
card and tell us about it. We
want to play fair. If you have
any relatives or other friends in
the West that you think would
be interested in the News, send
their names and addresses to this
Office with the request that we
mail them sample copies. 1t
might lead them to become SUBJ
scribers, and it would not in any
way make you responsible for
the payment.
