A Bad Mix.up.

While Oscar, son of William
Deavor, of Taylor township was
driving a spirited young horse
to mill on Monday, the colt re-
fused to hold back the heavy
load while going down a'hill, and
started at a lively clip for the
foot. At James McElhaney's it
broke through a fence and upset
a skep of bees, fell, and became
badly entangled in the harness.
Before many minutes, a bushel
of infuriated Italians settled on
the animal and began a bayonet
charge with all the vigor at their
command, and before the poor
creature could be gotten away
from the neighborhood of the
colony, twas stung so badly that,
for a time, it was feared it would
die. Bare hands, sticks, and any
thing at hand were used to scrape
the bees from the horse, but not
before Oscar and Mrs. McEl-
haney were badly stung.

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

For the vast majority of plants
sun is an absolutenecessity. They
cannot grow and thrive without
it. 1t is Of almost equal impor-
tance to human beings, though
comparatively few people recog-
nize the fact.
When we walk into a house
where the sun streams through
the windows and brightens ev-
erything, instinctively we say,
what a cheerful place. The
stimulating effects of sunshine
are difficult to estimate but they
are nevertheless a potent factor
in maintaining our physical and
mental health.
1t has been said that suicides
are more prevalent following a
period of depressing weather,
and figures have been advanced
to show that they are more COM
mon among people who have a
room with a northern exposure
lacking sunlight.
We all know how ones spirits
are depressed by a succession of
rainy days, but we lack a full ap-
probation of the value of sun
light in our homes.
The germs of tuberculosis for
example will not survive for any
length of time if exposed to the
suns rays. 1t is a mistake to so
protect our windows with shut
ters or curtains as to make it i'm
possible to secure the maximum
of sunlight. This is especially
true in the fall and winter when
the days are short, but at all sea-
sons of the year sunlight is in
vigorating and stimulating and
almost as much a necessity as
fresh air.
The planting of trees so close
to houses that they shut off the
suns rays is a mistake from a
health standpoint.
Sun baths are beneficial in
stimulating the functions of the
skin, sometimes to a degree which
enables it to resist minor all
ments.

Railroad Contract Signed Up.

AT a meeting of the Directors
of the McConnellsburg and Fort
Loudon Railway Company Tues
day morning at which were pres
ent representatives of James
A. Bennett & Company, Of
Greensburg, Pa, a contract was
signed for the construction of
the new railroad. While it will
be several weeks before all the
machinery can be moved, it is
expected that work will begin on
the right-of-way within ten days.
AS previously told in these
columns, the contract has been
signed for the furnishing of a
large part of the ties. A rep
resentative of the Westinghouse
Company was here this week,
and it is expected that the con-
tract for rails and power will be
signed shortly.

No Foolishness with Him.

If we may judge from what
we hear of the policy of State
Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham who succeeded Bigelow,
there will be a radical change in
the manner of making state high
ways. AT meeting of the as
sistant engineers from every dis
trict of the state in Harrisburg,
last week. Mr.. Cunningham
told them that he wanted work
done this summer, and that there
was more for road boses to do
than to play politics. Heretofore
if a man did not belong to the
gang, it was no use for him to
apply for work; even horses and
mules were not to be considered
unless they were tagged as be-
longing to the powers that be.
Each of you is responsible to
me for the conditions in his dis
trict," declared Commission r
Cunningham. IF the employees
under you fail to make good we
are going to find out why. Poll
tics do not cut any figure in the
administration of this department
Understand that
IF pressure is brought to bear
upon you to retain an insufficient
employe, report to Mr.. Uhler; he
will take it up with me. We
don't want any political heelers,
and I'll assume the responsibility
for laying them off. We want
men who can and will perform
the work" No hiring of men

Good Roads Day.

Much interest is being mani
tested throughout the State in
Good Roads Day-May 26th.
Governor Brumbaugh has offered
his service to work on the roads
that day. He did not pick his
job, but sent word to the High
way Department that he would
60 and do whatever the manage
ment thought best. That means
that if Commissioner Cunning
ham orders the Governor to put
on overalls and grab hold of a
shovel, the Governor would no
doubt, doit. Down in Maryland,
they are not satisfied with one
good roads day, and May 20 and
21 have been set for all to turn
out and make roads. Here in
McConnellsburg where the State
has control of the Lincoln Way,
the merchants could not wait for
the slow-moving State machinery
to put it in decent shape; so they
subscribed money-lots of it
and oiled the street to mitigate
the intolerable dust kicked up by
Lincoln Highway tourists. A
little bit of work done in front of
every mans farm would relieve
him of intolerable conditions, and
he would benefit by what his
next neighbor did, and so on to
the end of the road. It's a great
scheme, and costs practically
nothing. This paper will publish
accounts of work done that day
and will see to it that the Gov
ernor is told all about it that he
may know just where the people
frightened the corner where
they are"

A Serious Operation.

George, the 15-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Arnold,
of Mercersburg, underwent an
operation in his home Tuesday,
April 20, for acute osteomiolitis,
an infection of the bones caused
by an organism resulting from
an infection in the gall bladder.
Three incisions were made to
relieve the patient, one being in
the left arm releasing a large
amount of pus. The humerus
was found to be drained almost
completely away, only a shell of
the bone remaining.
The legs were both incised over
the skin releasing about sixteen
ounces of pus each. The tibia
was found to be diseased in each
leg. By careful treatment the
surgeon expects to save the boys
legs. The condition of the arm
being so critical it is impossible
to state the outcome.
George w, Arnold was at one
time clerk at the Washington
House in this place, but for many
years has been a resident of
Franklin county.

We could publish columns of

supplies of almost every article of
necessity under the sun. From
the war zone are now coming
calls for skilled labor from this
country, and for our famous au-
tomato machinery-something
not in as general use there as
here. Nearly half of the world
will have to be fed for many
years after the war ends. Tune
up the old farm, make it hum,
it's the best investment.

Kansas Great Wheat State.

] Frank Martin former Thomp-
son township boy, sends us the
following from a Kansas news
paper, which gives some idea of
the rank of that state as a wheat
producer. Kansas raised more
wheat last year than Argentina
or Canada.
In 1914 Kansas raised twice as
much wheat as any other state,
and 13 per cent more than any
other state ever produced in a
single season.
In 1914, Kansas produced 1870,
924, 1856 bushels of wheat.
The Kansas winter wheat crop
of 1914 comprised 9 9,065, 600 acres.
Kansas produced in 1914 more
wheat than North Dakota, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and all
the New England States combin-
ed. ~
Kansas produced in 1914 more
than twice as nuch wheat as the
combined states of South Dakota
Iowa, Montana and Wyoming and
"a, ,669, 1856 bushels more than the
combined states of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Dako-
ta, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming,
and all New England.
Kansas produced more wheat
in 1914 than the combined coun-
tries of Great Britain, Belgium,
Japan, Switzerland, Netherlands,
Denmark, and Bulgaria, and then
had 16, ,610, 900 bushels to spare.

An Explanation.

1t is deeply to be regretted that
the conduct of one class of peo-
pie is such as makes it necessary
to deprive the other class of
privileges which the former class
forfeit and which must be de-
MED them even a. the cost of
much inconvenience and un-
pleasantness. The people of the
United Presbyterian Church of
McConnellsburg have no dispo-
sition to be selfish concerning the
use of their hitching grounds.
But the privilege that have been
accorded the general public in
this matter, have been so un-
reasonably abused-even making
the horse sheds a place for vi
cious resort that it has become a
stern necessity to discontinue
these privileges to the general
public and close the way to these
grounds. 1t is, of course, to be
understood that this is not in
tended to apply to any persons
in attendance on occasions of di-
vine worship in this church. We
regret very much the above me-
cessity but are forced to it by a
sense Of right and duty.

Eulogy on Life Of Mrs. G. W. Barnett.

up until Sunday morning. Mr..
Barnett arose as usual on Sunday
morning, and after conversing
with his wife, he went down
stairs to start the morning work.
Mrs. Barnett arose a few minu-
tes later, dressed herself and
stepped into the hall, when with
out a moments warning she was
stricken with paralysis, render
ing her unconscious and speech
less.
The spark of life grew DINNER
and gradually and peacefully she
passed this earthly state of ac-
ton into a never ending eterni-
ty.
She was a daughter of the late
R. F. and Julia Stunkard, and
was born at New Grenada, Oct.
10, 1859; hence, at the time of
her death she was aged So years
6 months, and 16 days. She was
united in marriage to Geo. w.
Barnett in 1880. They first re-
sided at Waterfall, later at Lai-
dig where they engaged in the
mercantile business, and in 1888
they moved to their present home
where she spent the remainder
of her life. She leaves to mourn
her loss her husband, and four
daughters, namely, Luella, wife
of G. A. Plummer of New Gre
NADIA; Ethel, wife of 10y McLain
Youngstown, Ohio; Myrtle, and
0dette al home. An in fan n t
daughter and one son preceded
her to the grave, the son being
killed in an accident about eight
years ago. Besides her immed-
late family she is survived by
three sisters; Carrie wife of fNew
ton Palmer, Mt. Union; Myrtle,
wife of G. B. Shore who was her
near neighbor; Jessie, wife of
Charles Lamberson of Hill Valley
and two brothers, Easton of Six
Mile Run, and Charles of Traf-
ford, Pa.
The funeral was held from her
late home on Wednesday with in
terment in Bethel cemetery at
New Grenada. The service S
were in charge of her pastor Rev
C. F. Weise. The funeral was
attended by a large concourse of
people, which was an evidence
of the high esteem in which she
was held.
Rev. Weise used her life as the
text for his remarks and in ap-
propriate and sympathetic words
he reviewed the life of Sister
Barnett.
Mrs. Barnett was a life long
worker in the vineyard of her
Master. She was converted at
early age of fourteen, and for
Al years she was a faithful and
consistent mem ber of tn e
Zion M. E. Church. She was a
kind loving wife and mother, a
devoted and affectionate friend.
Her life was an example of the
highest attainments in Christian
life and character, a moral and
spiritual uplift to the community
in which she spent her life an in
spiration of love and cheerful
ness to all with whom she came
in contact, and her greatest joy
was in the service of Christ. She
realized that to serve was to
shine, and many were the pray
ers from her lips that rent the
heavens in behalf of the unsaved
men and women in the communi-
ty.
Mrs. Barnett is gone. Her
chair is vacant. Her pew is
empty. Her voice is stilled. Her
home, that home in which she
delightnd to live, is broken.
Her life's picture will never be
erased from our minds. Yet it
seems to us a hard task to part
with our dear friends, and we
know that she can not come again
unto US, but we do know that we
can go to her, if we are faithful
unto death. *"
