Not As Good As II Looks.

In Farm and Fireside is the
story of a farmer who sold his
property to live in the city, be-
cause his city friends wore good
clothes, had money jingling in
their pockets, went to the NOV
les, belonged to clubs, and enjoy
ed a yearly vacation" He found,
however, that the city man pays
dearly for these luxuries.
I'VE came to know" he said,
that it was just as hard for the
city man to get up at seven
O'Clock in the morning as it was
for the country man to get up at
five. Why SO? Because he must
not relax; he is ever on duty.
He must smile at this person and
that person. He dares not notice
anyone's peculiarities, or oddities,
or unreasonableness. The result
is he must find the relaxation in
the evening; therefore the family.
rarely gets to bed before ten or
eleven o'clock, and seven in the
morning finds him just as sleepy
and far less refreshed than five
found him on the farm.

somebody else every day in the
year. except Sunday and perhaps
a two-weeks vacation. under
somebody else as manager, didn't
exactly suit our country spirit of
freedom. We came to know that
our friends saved scarcely a cent;
and furthermore, one couldn't
exactly see how they were ex-
travagant. In the city it seems
unbelievably hard to separate
luxuries from necessities. =

y In the contest over the will vf
John Mccullough, late of Bethel
township, deceased, Judge Swope
on Monday filed his opinion in
the Office Of the Clerk of the
Courts sustaining the will made
by Mr.. Mccullough.
AS has been stated in the
News, John Mccullough, when
a mere lad was taken into the
home of the Gales, a family Of
unmarried brothers and sisters
residing near Warfordsburg. In
that home was also. a maiden by
the name of Bette Andrews. AS
the years rolled by, one by one
of the Gale people passed from
earth until the last one was gone
when it was found that the farm
which was a valuable one, and
the personal property Of the
Gales had been willed to John
Mccullough, with the condition
that John should maintain home
for Bette during her lifetime.
Both John and Bette remained
in the home growing old togeth-
er, when John was seized with a
sickness, and before his death,
which occurred on the 18th of
March 1914, he by will passed
the property on to Nettie An
drews, a niece of Bette, with the
condition that Nettie should see
that Bette had good home dur
ing the remainder of Bettie's life.
Johns brothers and sisters
were not satisfied with this dis
position of the property, and set
about to break the will. Upon
petition, Judge Swope appointed
the late j: Nelson Sipes a Com
mittee to take testimony as to
the facts in the case, and last
May, in McConnellsburg, more
than eighty witnesses were heard,
consuming a period of almost a
week. This testimony was TAX
en- by a stenographer, then type
written, and handed to Judge
Swope. This he examined care
fully at his Office in Gettysburg,
and rendered an opinion as be-
fore stated.
This will be final, unless Johns
brothers and sisters feel that it
is worth while to appeal from
Judge Swope's opinion.

OLD AGE.
Little Talks 90 Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

l
THE gray-beard sighs, shaking
his hoary head,
Compares times thatarenow with
times past heretofore,
Praises the fortunes of his faith
er long since dead;
And cracks of ancient men whose
honesty was more"
Thus did a Roman poet describe
the characteristics of old age
nineteen hundred odd years ago.
Those who wish to remain
young would do well to con
these lines and guard against
such an attitude of mind. The
fountain of perennial youth is in
the spirit. If you would arm
yourself against the stealthily ad-
vancing years cultivate the habit
of looking continually forward.
For the man who keeps his eyes
fixed ahead and struggles onward
to some worthy goal, the years
speed by unnoticed. For him
who turns and walks backward
looking ever in the past, the fu-
ture holds no promise and the
stimulus of the shoulder to should
er touch with the on-pressing
younger generation is lost.
The future is built upon the
ruins of the past. Advancing
years should bring ability to con-
centrate and an experience which
will compensate in no small de-
gree for lack of physical power.
"At thirty, man suspects him
self fool, knows it at forty, and
reforms his plan; at fifty chides
his infamous delay, pushes his
prudent purpose to resolve'-and
if he be wise makes use of such
experiences as he may have piled
up along the road of life and
pushes his purpose home.
Moderation of habit and at
tention to the rules of hygiene
will help materially to make the
years sit lightly, but this alone is
of little value if we are without
ambition and live from day to
day.
When the idols of youth are
broken we must set up new and
better. ones.
Ambition we must have and
work as well if we would laugh
at Father Time.

Emporia, Kans., Dec. g. -
Enclosed | am sending two dol
lars to advance my subscription
into 1916. We couldn'tge along
without the weekly visits of the
NEWS.
| have just returned from a
trip to San Francisco, Los An
geles, and San Diego, California.
| left Empofia October 18th
and was on the road four days
before / reached Los Angeles.
The Santa Fesis the best road
we have in the West, but it isn't
to be compared with the Penn
sylvania, as it goes so slowly.
We stopped at so many small
towns, and all of the larger ones.
We never made more than thirty
miles an hour going out.
The scenery being diversified
and beautiful, kept one from get
ting tired, and also furnished
pleasant thoughts.
On reaching C California, | found
the weather to be the hottest.
All the time l was in California
the weather was warmer than
any time this summer in En-
poria.
There was not as much farm
ing in California as | had expect
ed to see, but there is much fruit
growing. spent most of my
time up in the coast ranges near
San Bernardino. This part of
California is called the, Sum-
mer Land" of America, Here
are the orange groves and vine
yards, so | was in the fruitlands.
All tracts of land are called
ranches from one acre upwards
to hundreds of acres.
The orange groves are beauti-
full with their fruits ripening at
this season. One could see ripen-
ing fruit, blossoms and green
fruit-all on the same tree.
All this land is high in price.
One orange grove was sold for
$25, 600, and it contained but
twenty acres. This grove, how
ever, was cheap, because it was
quite a distance from Los An
geles.
l visited both fairs, and en-
joyed my trip down to San Diego,
as | got to see the most Spanish
part of California.
California is a good state, but
the rich people of the east have
made it what it is. They are
still fishing for suckers, but the
biting is not nearly so good as it
used to be; for California is now
overstocked with all kinds of
people boosters, kickers, knock
ers, suckers, and skinners.
They have good roads, are
making great progress in Educa-
tion, and are extravagant as a
whole. In order to pay for this,
taxes are much higher than in
other states.
People from every part of the
United States visit California for
their health; consequently, there
is more sickness there than any
place else that | have ever been.
The climate, also, is not so health
full as in New Mexico, Arizona,
or Utah. For myself I'd prefer
Pennsylvania to keep my health.
and Kansas, the next best place,
to live.
California produced % million
bushels of wheat, and Kansas
produced more than that off of
two or three counties. Kansas
has more money in the bank per
capita than California. Califor-
mia is a great state but I'll take
my stand for Kansas, since / can
no longer live in little old Fulton
county, the best place in the
world.
Trusting this will be of interest
to you, ! am,
Very truly yours.
