Billy Sundays Plans.

1t is now definitely understood
that Billy Sunday cannot give
McConnellsburg a date for, per-
haps several years, and, in the
mean time, it is up to our people
to do the best they can for them
selves.
Billy will leave Philadelphia
some time next week. On ac-
count of the great interest mani
tested in his work in that city, he
is staying two weeks longer than
the time originally planned. At
the close of the revival in Phila-
delphia he will go to his home at
Winona Lake, Ind, where he
will rest two weeks. Thence he
will go to Paterson, N. j., where
the last campaign of this season
will close about the middle of
May.
The season of 1915 will open in
Omaha about Sept. Is. Syracuse
N. Y, will be the next town
where a revival will open about
Nov. l. Within a few days af-
ter New Years, 1916, Sunday
and his party will open operations
in Baltimore which will occupy
two weeks, and then after a
weeks rest, Sunday and his COM
pany will 60 to Louisville, KY,
where another two weeks revi-
val will be conducted. After
that Sunday will go either to
Grand Rapids or Duluth.
The following fall (1916) Sun
day will open activities with a
campaign in Trenton in Sep
tember, to last two weeks. Oct.
| he will go to Buffalo, N. Y.

The "Jitney" Invasion.

All that is ruquired to be "a
transportation magnate now is
to own a Ford car. In nearly all
of the large and many of the
small cities the "jitney" bus is
cutting into the profits of the
street car companies and making
owners of autos rich. When it
was at first suggested that own
ers of machines could make any
money carrying passengers for a
five cent fare it was thought to
be impossible. A few wiser than
the rest, started ''jitney" lines
with their machines. Ithas been
demonstrated in San Francisco
that the owner of a car can clear
from six to ten dollars a day by
carrying passengers at the "jit-
ney" rate. In most of the cities
these busses follow the routes of
the regular street cars and are
making trips on regular sched-
ules. A "jitney" by the way, is
a nickle-five cents. There is
money for the fellow who will es-
tablished a regular automobile
schedule between McConnells-
burg and Fort Loudon.

NUMBER %
EVIL EFFECTS OF WORRY.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Worry-to choke or strangle
says the dictionary. 1t is not
necessary to seek for the further
definition for that is truly the
physical manifestation of mental
torment.
Worry strangles our mental
powers and chokes the bodily
functions. There are innumera-
BILE instances in which physical
decline and death are directly
traceable to worry.
1t is true that in everyone's
life, force of circumstance, bit
ter experiences and trying prob
lens must be met, considered
and conquered. No matter how
vital these may be, or how much
real thought is required in their
solution, worry will never aid
and it inevitably handicaps all eff
fort to obtain a clear point of
view and the establishment of a
true perspective toward life's
happenings.
The ancient philosophers deem
ed worry unworthy of men of
true mental attainment. Our
physical makeup is so finely ad-
justed that any distress of mind
reacts upon the bodily functions.
Excessive anger is often followed
by illness and worry, with its ac-
companying morbid thoughts,
has a like influence.
There is a close relation be-
tween our physical and mental
selves and a sound body is a re-
serve force behind the mind.
When you are tempted to worry
bestir yourself physically Exer-
else in the open air, a long tramp
or some similar diversion will Of
tentimes prove a sufficient stimu-
liant to aid materially any mental
effort you may make to cast off
the burden.
Another and even more effec-
tive measure is to keep busy at
ones daily tasks. Occupation,
if it be of a nature to require
close application, is one of the
most effective cures for worry.

Needs Two Million Boys.

On day last week, Billy Sum
day called in from the street,
eight or ten boys. After having
invited them to the speakers
stand where they could be seen
by the great audience in the tab
ernacle, Mr.. Sunday pointed to
the boys and said to the congre-
cation, This country must teach
two million boys, each year, to
drink intoxicating liquors in or
der to keep up the demand for
such things" Think of i'll Two
million drunkards die every year,
and two million boys must take
their places or the distilleries
could not continue in business!
Our population is about 100000,
900, so that two boys out of ev-
cry hundred must die drunkards
in order that distillers may make
a living by selling rum. Do two
boys out of cycry one hundred in
Fulton county die drunkards? We
believe that the figures are en-
tirely too low. Billy Sundays
two million is too low, because
we believe there are worse places
than Fulton county. So if you
think that more than two to the
hundred die drunkards in our
county, what might the total for
the United States be. Awful to
think Of, is it not? How many
are two millions? 1t is more than
twice as many as fought in the
Civil Wharf.-The greatest war ever
wagedton American soil. But, a
comparatively small. number of
them were killed, and, after fif-
ty years, thousands are still liv-
ing. Had every man and boy
who was in that war, been killed
it would not have been as many
as die every year from the use of
alcohol.
A pleasing incident occurred
after Mr.. Sunday had finished
speaking at that meeting. A la
dy invited the boys to a seat in
her auto, and she took them to a
store in Philadelphia and bought
each of them pair of good shoes.

Ban on Bank 0yerdraftS.

By an order issued by John
Shelton Williams, Comptroller of
the Currency, the granting by
National banks of accommoda-
tions in the form of overdrafts is
Objectionable and will not be per-
mitted by his Office. This order
affects every National bank in
the United States approximately
500 in number.
In his letter to the National
banks, Mr.. Williams states that
the practice should cease entire
ly. The subject, he states, has
been taken up with the banking
departments of various states,
and these authorities have gener-
ally agreed to take the necessary
action to secure the effective CO.
operation of state banks in at
tanning the end desired. Nation
al bank directors are requested
to adopt a resolution directing
that no officer or employee of any
National bank shall pay or charge
to the account of any depositor
and check of such depositor when
there are not sufficient funds on
deposit to meet the same.
The order was issued on Janu-
airy 2S.
The object of the Comptroller
in this order is to put a stop to
the pernicious practice of issuing
checks when the drawer knows
there is no funds in the bank, in
the hope that the bank will take
care oft. Now, the bank does not
dare to honor a check unless the
full amount is in the bank to the
credit of the drawer.

kota's only Watering Place."
The Devils Lake Indian Reser-
yation, with the Indian School at
Fort Totten, is a point of great
interest. To those who are fond
of the study of present-day In
dian life and development, a
striking example of the industry
of the Red Man is found there.
Practically all of the Indians are
good farmers. living in good
houses, and many are thrifty,
energetic, and wealthy. The
salvation of what was once known
as the Bloody Sioux" is being
worked out to its highest perfec-
tion on this reservation.
A new Park, called Sully's Hill
National Park, and containing
GAO acres, has been recently Gre
ated by Congress. 1t is the scene
of a famous Indian battle and
there is erected a monument of
Major Sully, a noted Indian fight
er who lost his life in a bloody
engagement there with the fierce
Sioux. This park is on an auto
mobile highway which starts at
the city of Devils Lake and winds
its sylvan way around the beau
tiful shores, passing the Chau-
tauqua, and Fort Totten on the
Indian Reservation.
The people of Devils Lake re-
alize that since there is no richer
soil in the Creators great out
doors, and none in the great
Northwest better adapted to all
branches of farming, the greatest
source of new wealth lies in the
the pursuit of agriculture; con-
sequently, greatest emphasis is
laid, by all interests, upon d.
versifcation or crops, stock rails
ing, dairying, and allied pursuits.
That Devils Lake will, some day
in the near future, be a manufac-
turing center of considerable i'm
portance, is an assured fact,
siuce the development of the
fertile region about it is going
forward rapidly.

Suffrage Booming in Ten States.

Harrisburg, Feb. %. "A brief
review of the progress woman
suffrage has made during the
past month, from New England
to the Gulf States, was given out
to-day by Mrs. Frank Roessing,
president of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association.
In New York, New Jersey and
Massachusetts, the Legislatures
have approved resolutions calling
for a suffrage amendment to their
Constitutions and the question
will go to a referendum vote of
the people this Fall. Similar ac-
tion has also been taken in West
Virginia, although the suffrage
amendment will not be voted on
at the polls there until the gener-
al election in 1916.
The Pennsylvania Suffrage res
olution has been passed by the
House and is now in the Senate
where a favorable vote is sexpect-
ed shortly after the Legislature
reconvenes. Pennsylvania will
then become Campaign State. ("
The people of Iowa may also have
chance to vote on suffrage this
Fall, as the suffrage bill there
has been passed by the Senate
and is now in the House.
Meanwhile, women suffrage
bills have passed the committee
stage and are now pendingin in the
Legislature of Tennessee, Ala
bama and Texas. In these three
States, however, another Legis-
lature will have to approve the
amendment before the people
can vote upon it.
The Arkansas Legislature has
passed a suffrage bill, and it can
not be voted upon by the people
until next year. This is due to
the fact that under the Constitu-
ton, only 3 amendments can be
submitted at one time, and be-
tween the action of the House and
Senate on the suffrage bill, a pc
tition for a third amendment was
filed with the Secretary of State.
Consequently, the suffrag e
amendment has to wait until
1916.

= Drilling Clover Seed.

Not having had personal ex-
perience with the drilling of clo-
yer seed as described below, we
cannot vouch for the benefits
claimed; but it is the best data
we have been able to obtain, and
as it sounds reasonable, and
meets a demand for information,
we will pass it on to our readers
at its face value. We think so
well of it that we suggest that
it be tried on one side of field
now that sowing time is at hand,
though not at hand for drill SOW
ing.
An Ohio farmer, in about the
same latitude as Fulton county,
writes as follows: "A few years
ago / tried the experiment of drill
ing my clover seed at the usual
time instead of broadcasting it.
I use a disk drill. 1t follows nice
ly between he rows of wheat or
rye. The ground was frozen and
too many large cakes of frozen
ground fell over on the grain; |
sowed timothy along with the
clover, and got a good stand of
both-better than on the balan ce
of the field where it had been
broadcast in the usual manner.
The next spring | waited un-
til the ground dried off and
warmed enough to start vegeta-
ton. My stand Of clover and
timothy that year was too thick,
because all of the delicate seeds
were covered and given a chance
to grow. The third year | re-
duced the quantity of seed sown,
and | got a fine stand. But that
spring and summer was dry, and
for a time | thought my sod
would not be heavy enough. But
when rains came in August, up
came the grass and clover in
fine shape, and since then | have
adopted the drill method of SOW
ing clover and timothy seeds.
I find l save many dollars
worth of seed for the reason that
by the old way of initiating Ma
lures prodigal method of seed
ing broadcast is to provide for
the waste Of all seeds that can
not lind their way into the soil,
and consequently, cannot grow.
In addition to getting better
stands of clover and timothy, my
grain was benefited by the cul-
ovation it received by the disk
drill, and this alone was worth
tne trial." Note that our Ohio
friend uses a disk drill. He
probably sets the disk to run
1airly straight in order to save
covering small wheat or rye

"AULD ACQUAINTANCE"
Bits Of News and Gossip Extracted
from The Letters from Our
Distant Subscribers.

THE following letter is from
Mrs. Esther Winters, widow of
the late John H. Winters former
residents of Whips Cove. Mrs.
Winters is daughter of the late
Henry Smith who years ago,
lived west of Needmore at the
foot of Sideling Hill. Mrs. Win
ters now resides at Olpe, Kansas,
and would be glad to get a letter
from any of her old time acquaint-
ances. EDITOR.
Enclosed you will find a Money
Order for two dollars for the
continuance of the NEWS to my
address.
We cannot we'll do without the
NEWS. While we read of our
old friends and neighbors passing
to the great beyond, there are
still those left, whom we like to
read about; and the News seems
like a letter from home telling in
a brief way the happenings in
each neighborhood.
| am nearing my eighty-ffth
birthday. | have lost the sight
of my right eve, and have neu-
ralgia occasionally during damp
weather; otherwise l am we'll
and do most of our light house
work.
Kansas is a beautiful place in
which to live, during the spring
and early summer. After Au-
gust first it becomes windy, dry,
and desolate looking especially
to one who has been accustomed
to the beautiful autumns and win
ters of Old Pennsylvania.
| am rather surprised to read
of Pennsylvania farmers getting
swindled with so cheap a concern
as a grocery crook.
We have crooks of all classes
here, but they come in a more
business way, and appear in a
legal garb; but, upon second
thought, it speaks we'll for the
citizens of the state-they believe
everybody is as honest as they
are.
| often imagine | would like to
hear the readers of the News,
and some others, pronounce
"Olpe." 1t is pronounced All-pe
the last letter has the sound of
"a" long. 1t is a German name,
of which l have heard several
definitions. I'll not give any, as
they are not from very reliable
sources.
Olpe has a population of 200,
mostly foreigners; a state bank,
three groceries, stores-one hard
ware and implement dealer, drug
store, lumber and coal yard, grain
elevator, farmers cooperative

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
DECISION ON ANDR0SCOCCIl CASE

The Public Utilities commission has
issued its decision in the. case of the
Androscoggin Electric Co. on petition
of residents of Androscoggin and
Cumberland counties asking that To-
cal service be furnished on the inter-
urban railroad of said company be-
tween Portland and Lewiston, and that
certain rate of fare to be changed. The
local service is ordered TO begin on
July /, 1915, but 1.-THE reduction of fare
is refused.
In the decision the commissioners
take up the situation and summarize
their findings in the three following
paragraphs:
When it appears that an electric
railroad runs its cars between two
large cities 35 miles apart, and the
sole object in building such railroad
was to furnish through rapid transit
for passengers. no hampering interfer-
ence with such service should be at
