Some Colt.

David Maun, of Ayr township,
has a colt 80 years old, at least
it is a colt in spirit, and activity.
This handsome black is treated
with respect, on account of age,
and is not called upon to go ev-
cry day. Consequently, when it
is led out and hitched to a light
machine for a short trip, the
black feels called upon to exhib-
it old-time style to the younger,
and less polished, generation of
impudent upstairs. Like many
other old fellows, his legs cannot
move in sympathy with his idea
of speed, and the results are
sometimes laughable. His very
latest stunt was to try to walk
on his hind legs while being driv-
en- to town last Friday, and he
made a little job for the saddler
of repairing several broken parts
of harness.

Huntingdon county farmer S

meetings will afford him pleasure
Bob said that he never did like to
live in the West because the high
winds traded soils at least once a
year for the owners.

County Twenty Years. Pfacticed
Law Sixty Years.

William MCLEAN, for twenty
years president judge of the court
of Adams and Fulton counties

on Friday morning of last week,
after a brief illness of bronchial
pneumonia.
Judge MCLEAN was the son of
/ Moses MCLEAN, a former lawyer
in Gettysburg. He graduated
/ from Washington and Jefferson
College and the law department
of Harvard University.
He was admitted to the Adams
county bar in 1854. In 1873 he
served as a member of the con-

elected president judge of the
Adams-Fulton district. Although
nearly 93 years old, Judge Nc

health and continued his law
practice until about a week ago.
He was in recent years associa-
ted with his son, William Arch

byterian Church Immediately fol-
lowing the exercises at the ceme-
terry. He was one of the four
men who, as eyewitnesses of the
historic scenes, made addresses

dedication of the cemetery.

lar in Fulton County and was
considered by every one a
Splendid little gentleman"

Good Roads Day Set.

Governor Brumbaugh has Sc
lected May 26th as Good Roads
Day for Pennsylvania. On that
day every man in the state will
be expected to do something for
good roads. AS has been stated
by the NEWS on several occa-
sions, everybody joins the crowd
and helps to put the roads in
good shape for the summer. The
women establish camps along the
roads where good meals are
cooked and served to the perspir-
ing workers. In this way, chains
of workers repair many miles of
road, and their pay consists in
their being able to travel in COM
fort during the balance of the
year. Nor is this all; the fun to
be had would make a barrel Of
monkeys look like thirty cents.
There is no time to be lost in
working up the plans for your
section of road. Talk it up on
every occasion. Some will bring
horses and wagons, other will
bring picks and shovels-any-
thing with which to make roads.
In case the ladies Wish to do
much cooking, make arrangement
for some old stoves to be set at
intervals along the road; this will
make cooking easier than by the
use of open fires. We must not
let any county beat US making
roads on that day. 1t is not pos
sible for the Highway Depart
ment to make all the roads; we
must make some of them by this
method, or let them remain bad.
A clause in the Governors
proclamation is as follows: THAT
each and every road supervisor
Of the townships of the Common
wealth is in duty and good con-
science obligated to give this
project his cordial support and to
call upon the men over whom he
has control to do the same.

EielIOtt Bills.

In addition to the Bridge Bill
introduced by Hon. Geo. B. Mel
lott at this session of the Gener-
al Assembly, and mentioned in
the NEWS recently, he has three
other bills pending. One of them
is to create a State road from
Webster Mills, by way of Big
Cove Tannery, and Plum Run, to
the Maryland line. Another bill
is to extend the State road that
is to run from the Maryland line
to Hustontown. This extension
is to begin at Hustontown and
go by way of Clear Ridge into
Huntingdon county by way of
Maddensville and Three Springs.
Another bill is known as the
Pension Bill. 1t is an act to pro-
vide for the bensioning Of SOL
diers and marines who served in
the army of the United States
from Pennsylvania in the Civil
War of 1861 to 1865 fixing the
rate of said pensions the manner
of maintaining the same and
making an appropriation for the
payment thereof. To those who
served one year or less, $500 per
month; from one to two years
$6.0 and to those who served
more than two years $500 per
month shall be paid.
The sum proposed for appro-
priation to meet requirements is
81, 900, 900 or so much thereof as
may be necessary is specifically
appropriated for the purpose Of
paying the pensions created here
by for the five quarterly pay
ments for the two fiscal years be-
ginning June l, 1915.

HINTS TO YACATIONISTS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Natures siren song is calling
the city dweller. 1t lures to
mountain, meadow, lake or camp.
The call is universal and all who
are free hasten to answer.
In selecting a place for a sum-
mer home or a brief vacation it
is well to observe a few basic pre-
cautions and so avoid mourning
illness which may result seriously.
There are thousands Of resorts,
cottages and camps where the
defects in sanitation present a
genuine menace. Certain things
should be carefully observed.
The water supply.
The disposal of sewage and
garbage.
The milk supply, particularly
if there are infants or young chill
dren.
If the water supply comes from
well, be sure that it is not To-
Gated where it will receive under
ground or surface drainage from
a barn-yard or outhouse. 1t is
essential to boil water taken from
surface streams. Clearness is
no guarantee of purity.
If springs are the source of
supply, care should be taken that
they are not surrounded by habi-
tations or other sources of pollu-
ton. In small villages or shore
places if the water supplies are
public, diligent inquiry should be
made as to whether the source is
free from sewage contamination.
If the disposal of sewage and
garbage is careless, flies are GER
tain to breed, and unless kitch-
ems and dining rooms are care
fully screened there is the possi-
bility of typhoid or diarrhoeal in
fection from this source.
With young children, particu-
larly infants, the question of a
clean milk supply is one of vital
Importance. Fresh milk is of lit
tie or no advantage unless it be
clean milk.
Mosquitoes also may prove a
pestiferous nuisance. There is
the possibility of malarial infec-
ton in regions where they abound
Failure to give attention to
these essential points of santa
ton may result in poignant re-
grets instead of delightful holi-
day memories.

High School Play.

One of the most pleasing events
of the season will be the High
School play to be given in the
Auditorium next Wednesday even
ing. The play has a cast of sew
enteen characters, is called "a
College Town." and will occupy
about two hours. 1t will be in
tensely interesting from start to
finish, and is well deserving a big
house. Don't miss it. Admis-
sion 25 cents. Tickets may be
had at Trout's Drug Store any
time after 9 o'clock, Wednesday
morning.

Railroad News.

We do not expect much news
from the railroad before another
meeting of the board of directors
is held. Details of a tedious ma
ture must be gone over in all
such cases, and it requires time.
Visiting contractors, and visiting
manufacturers of rails and other
necessary material must all be
heard: bonds of various kinds
must be secured, signed, examin-
ed and accepted or rejected-all
Of which requires time.

Crop and Livestock Report.

The Crop and Livestock Re-
port for the month of April, is
sued by L. H. While, formerly Of
this place, contains interesting in
formation concerning the num-
ber of tons of manure produced
annually on farms of the State.
More than seven hundred cores
pondents reported the average
for their respective districts, and
the total is estimated to be 16,
478, 600 tons, valued at $1.00 a
ton, or SIG, 478,000 total value.
Mr.. Wible's figures show that
the average number of tons pro-
duced annually on Fulton county
farms is 60, which is also the av-
erage for the state. Cumberland
county stands highest with 11S
tons to the farm.
A little figuring on our own ac-
count shows the following results
A ton of good, fresh stable ma
nure should contain 10 pounds of
nitrogen, 5 pounds of phosphorus
and 10 pounds of potash, which
at normal price should be worth
about $1,67, 25 cents, and SO
cents respectively. Adding al
together, we find that a ton Of
manure that has not been per.
mitted to leach or evaporate
should be worth $2.42 cents, SC
that Mr.. Wible's estimate is nc
doubt correct, because very little
manure is hauled to the fields be-
fore nearly all of the nitrogen
ISL. .67 WORTH has been leached
out.
if the manufacturers of ferti-
lizers sold fresh stable manure
by the ton, in bags, they would
be compelled by law to mark the
analysis plainly in figures, and
they would be about 4-4-4. This
low showing is offset by the use
of many tons to the acre, 20 tons
of highest grade manure to the
acre being equal to an application
of ! a ton of 10-5-10 commercial
fertilizer. But the great value
of stable manure lies in the hui
mus furnished to the soil, togeth-
er with the beneficial results of
mellowing, and the liberation of
natural strength of soil by decay.

APRIL HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and Of Those
Who Have Renewed During the
Month Of April.

The Hancock News, a few
weeks ago, said that subscribers
of the FULTON COUNTY News did
little else than watch the label on
their paper, and that he would
like to have our recipe. Now,
Brother Huber, there is nothing
to it, except, that the subscribers
of the NEWS take pleasure in
keeping their subscription paid
up; and no publisher ever had a
clientele of subscribers of which
he had more reason to be proud.
Our subscribers have long since
learned that it is easier to pay a
dollar at a time, and keep right
up, than to let it run, and then
have to pay for a dead horse. !"
Look over the list and see who be
long to the big NEWS family.

POWER OF LABOR BUYING DROPS
Wages in 1907 Would Purchase 12i Food
Units, Decreases to 100 in 1913.

An alarming decrease in the purchas-
ing power of the workers wage through
out the United States is shown by re-.
port from the bureau OF labor statistics.
just issued. This il the first report of
its kind ever made, and is being exhib-
tied on n graphic electric chart at the
Panama Pacific exposition.
1t reveals what are the real wages"
of 100000 American workingmen.
1T is shown that whereas a dollar
would buy l2l food units in 1907. it
would buy only l07 unite in 1910. and
only 100 in 1913. There have been slight
reductions in the length OF working
hours. and slight increases in the rate Of
pay, but the statistics show that the
rise in food values, has far outstripped
these conditions.
These figures are taken from all the
records OF the bureau of labor statistics,
and cover both the general and the un-
ion labor fields.
