Press Says Suffrage Will Win.

The Literary Digest has taken
a poll of the press of the United
States on the quetsion of woman
suffrage and the results show
that "the ayes have it," Letters
were sent to 1000 papers. A to-
tai of 526 replies were received
and every state was represented.
The personal views of the edi-
tors were shown in the following
vote:
Affirmative, 391: negative, 81;
undecided, 3S.
The sentiment of communities
was reflected in this vote:
Favorable, 237; negative, 156;
and undecided, 1873.
Until recent years, the man.
ayers of the poll say, the SUBJ
ject was regarded indifferently
as a menace to the home and So
ciety, facetiously by mothers and
with most astonishing apathy on
the part of the vast bulk of the
nonulation. However. since ele-
ven of the great western states
have granted women the fran
chise, and as the question is to
be voted on this fall by four of
the greatest original thirteen
states of the Union-New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts-it is beginning
to arouse a degree of attention
worthy of a great political issue.
The general apathy is giving a
place to a more lively interest,
and it gradually is becoming ap-
parent that the nation soon must
face one of these great issues in
government that is comparable
to the struggle of manhood suf-
frage.

Beware of Cows.
Political Advertisement.

Next to meeting a drunken
chauffeur the worst thing a man
driving an automobile can en-
counter in the road is a cow. She
will stand with most innocent
look, and just as you are about
to pass her, she deliberately walks
in front of your car. Last Thurs
day a party were going home
from the Hagerstown Fair, and
a few miles west of Hancock an
old cow performed the above de-
scribed stunt with the result that
the car was turned over and two
of the occupants pinned beneath
it. The machine was so badly
damaged that it had to be aban-
doned and the party taken to
their homes in another car.

Didn't Think II Was Loaded.

ellison Bare aged IA years and
Robert aged 16 were assisting
their father Daniel Bare who
lives near Five Forks, Franklin
county, in husking corn Monday.
Seeing a hawk lowering over the
field one of the boys went to the
house and got the gun. By the
time they got the gun the hawk
had disappeared. Sometime af-
terward Robert told ellison to do
some errand. Gibson refused and
Robert picked up the gun and
playfully pointed it at ellison say
ing if he didn't do it, he would
shoot him, and pulled the trig-
ger. The gun went off. Gil
son fell dead. Robert was sorry.
He said he thought his brother
had taken the shell out.

CHAUFFEUR WOUNDED.
Shot Through The Hand While Driving
His Car on Lincoln Highway
Just West Of Greenhill.

A chauffeur driving a car west
ward just west of Greenhill on
the Lincoln Highway last Sunday
afternoon was shot through the
hand by some one who has not
taken the trouble to leave his
name at the News Office.
The car belonged to Mr.. VIM.
w. Bonnell, a Leather Goods Man
ufacturer of Youngstown, o., who
was just returning home from a
stay at his summer home at Wild
wood, N. j. In the car was Mr..
Bonnell, his nurse, (Mr. Bonnell
is a paralytic) the driver of the
car, and a gentleman friend of
Mr.. Bonnell. They were journey
ing on their way, when the re-
port of a gun was heard and at
the same instant the driver felt
a stinging pain in his right hand
and saw that he had a bullet
wound.
A big Cadillac came along and
took the injured man to McCon-
nellsburg where he received sur
gical attention, and Miss Marie
Ham with the Bonnell car, fol-
lowed. 1t was found that the
bullet had entered the right hand
between the thumb and index
finger and passed through the
hand coming out just back of the
little finger. After the wound
had been dressed, Ernest Nc
Claim drove the Bonuell party to
Pittsburgh.
Report has it that there was a
party of young men shooting in a
nearby field.
1t is fortunate for the fellow
that did the shooting that the
bullet went through the drivers
hand and not through his heart.

Successful Hunters.

Scarcely had the town clock
finished striking the hour of
twelve last Thursday night when
there was evidences that the
turkey season was really lin. "
While there was much activity in
the license market, the number
granted up to last Friday was
below that of the opening day
last year. Owing to the fact
that turkeys had been protected
two years led hunters to believe
that the woods would be full of
them, and on Friday andSaturday
the woods were full of hunters.
Among our local sportsmen who
came Juggling turkey home

To The Voters Of Fulton County.

The Mcpherson advertising in
the FULTON COUNTY News and
FULTON REPUBLICAN of last
week is largely untrue and inten-
ded to mislead the voters of Full
ton County.
Adams County is Democratic
but Mcpherson did not carry the
county, he had a plurality of 68
votes. However the vote of Mr..
Butt and Mr.. McSherry combin-
ed showed majority of 366 over
Mcpherson, a normal Democratic
majority.
1t is untrue that Mr.. Butts
ward is Democratic. On parti-
san lines it is Republican by
about 40 as certificate below now
shows. The Republican candi-
date for Congress in November
1914 received 260 votes in the
first ward of Gettysburg, the
ward in which Mr.. Butt lives,
the Democratic candidate 123, so
that the former had a majority of
139. Mcpherson vote in same
ward is 208, loss of 81 since
Nov. 1914, Mr.. Butt receives 1872
votes, a gain of 45. Mcpherson
leads Butt in ward 26 and falls
Ill votes behind the Republican
candidate for Congress last year.
The statement that Mcpherson
carried all the wards of Gettys-
burg, the total majority being
double the normal Republican
majority, is deliberate misrepres-
entation. While the wards are
Republican, the Republican can
didate for Congress in 1914 car
ried Gettysburg by 934 and Nc
Pherson by only 12S, so that Nc
Pherson falls short of last years
vote by 206 votes, because of Mr..
Butts strength.

November election 1914 by which
it appears that the Republican
candidates for Congress received
in the first ward of Gettysburg
260 votes, in the second ward 1856
votes and in the third ward POS
votes and the Democratic candi-
date received in the first ward
123 votes, in the second ward sc
votes and in the third ward Ill

NUMBER 5
SENDING SICK CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

A day spent in school by a half
sick child may result in a weeks
serious illness. If, as so often
happens, the slight indisposition
proves to be the beginning of
some communicable disease, the
result is that the other children
in the school are exposed and
those who are susceptible will fol
low in turn.
School authorities are natural
ly anxious to secure regularity of
attendance on the part of the
scholars, and many parents feel
that they are simply doing their
duty in forcing children to go to
school who complain of not feel
ing well. 1t is much better for "a
child to lose an occasional days
schooling than to risk bringing
on an illness and exposing 9TH
ers.
Children's recuperative pow
ers, generally speaking, are su-
perior to those of older people.
Proper rest and care will often
ward off serious illness; but this
requires care and insight on the
part Of the parents, and the chill
dren themselves are not apt to
call attention to their condition
until they become seriously i'll.
Loss of appetite, feverishness,
lassitude, discoloration of the eye
all, are indications which should
be watched as symptoms of in
disposition.
The work which children lose
in the schools they can make up
far more readily than what they
lose in health. Satisfactory men
tai progress cannot be made un-
less health is first considered;
and school authorities should rea-
lize that the total amount of time
lost is far greater, owing to the
added possibility of spreading
communicable disease, when half
sick children are permitted in
school.
When children are i'll their
playmates should not be permit
ted to go to see them until it is
absolutely certain that they are
not suffering from some commun
icable disease. Colds are COM
Parents should see
that their children do not visit
other youngsters who are i'll, and
infants should never be taken in
to houses where there is danger
of their contracting illness from
children who are not we'll.

every line is good to me.
Well, ! am very much interest
ed in the outcome of the vote on
Woman Suffrage in my old home
State. You know that the men
of California were not afraid to
take chances to put women on
political equality with them,
and when we asked them to
grant US equal rights with them
at the polls, they did so; and if
the question had to be settled
now, after these years of expert
ence, the vote should be double
what 1t was at the election when
woman suffrage won. Tell my
good Fulton County lady friends
to keep busy till the last day in
the afternoon. Men who vote
for it now, will never regret it,
and those who do not, will live
to see the day they will feel
ashamed of themselves for being
so far behind the spirit of the
present age. | serve on the elec-
ton board in our precinct and re-
ceive the same wages for my SER

of creation" and they seem to
feel proud that it is so. You'd
hardly recognize election day
