SwindIerS.
Advertisement.

A few days ago we read two
columns of accounts of farmers
having been swindled by answer
ing doubtful advertiseme n is.
Human nature is so prone to try
to get something for nothing, or
for half price, that swindlers find
no difficulty in finding plenty of
fish" of a certain sort. Here is
a common method of swindling,
namely, some man, a couple
of hundred miles away, will ad-
vertise in our community that he
will pay such-and-such prices for
chesnuts, shellbarks, furs, but
ter, eggs, and many other sta
Piles that always afford ready
sale. He always offers from half
to twice as much more or these
things as he knows the shipper
can get anywhere else. The re-
suit is that there are always
enough innocent persons ready
to ship him their goods, that in
course of a few days he receives
sufficient quantities to make a
nice roll of cash, and before the
swindled shippers can put the po-
lice on his track he has skipped
to parts unknown, and the ship
per loses all he sent.
There are nearly always some
earmarks on the advertisement
tn at should arouse suspicion.
But if we feel that we cannot re-
sist his tempting offer, we should
always write before shipping to
some bank, or to reliable firm,
to find out if the advertiser is
reliable.

Think This Over.

When a newspaper gives you a
lot of free advertising in order
to boom some concert or enter
tainment in which you are inter-
ested, keep track of the lines that
are printed week by week and
multiply that number by the reg
ular advertising rates of the pa
per. Compare the results with
the actual money value of any fa-
vor that you get from any other
business concern. Then take in
to consideration the fact that adj
vertising and circulation are the
only two things that a newspaper
has to sell. Now in these days
of higher prices, how much do
you think it ought to give away!

Give The Boy a Chance.

The worlds record for corn
raising belongs to WalterL. Deem
son, an Alabama boy, yet in his
early teens. Last year this boy
raised 232 bushels of corn on a
single acre of land, which is the
largest yield per acre ever record
ed. This remarkable record was
made by an ordinary boy and on
ordinary land. He became inter-
ested in corn raising and studied
into the matter of the kind and
proper use of fertilizers and prop
er cultivation. AS a result of
putting his knowledge to practi-
cal use, he has raised 232 BUSH
els of corn ON an acre of land.
thereby winning the champion
ship of the world. What Walter
L. Deenson has done serves to
show what a common everyday
out-and-out boy can do if he is
given the chance. There are
thousands of ambitious boys on
the rich farms of this state who
never knew what it is to be en-
couraged to take an interest in
agriculture or stockraising. If
these boys were given a small
plot of gronnd and some seed
corn for example, to plant and
cultivate, circus would not be
able to turn their thoughts very
far away from the enchanted
spot" where a wonderful harvest
will be theirs to reap. A boy
may not be able to raise 292 BUSH
els of corn on an acre of his faith
er's land, but he can do we'll
enough to make his efforts worth
while. What boy in this county
is going after that worlds cham
pionship record next year?

Talk This Over.

1t has been the policy of the
News to follow up it's observa-
tions by summing them up and
commenting on them in a way
that might lead to best results to
our subscribers. For many years
we have observed that the price
of good apples gets very high in
McConnellsburg during January
and February. The reason for
the high prices is due to the fact
that few people are prepared to
keep apples in good condition
during these months. The lack
of proper storage places near by
causes a scarcity of the fruit soon
after the holidays. A few grow
ers bury their apples, and open
the "holes" in the spring. But
these apples will not keep long
after they are taken out of their
winter burying place, and they
must be disposed of in so many
small lots that few farmers think
it worth while to 60 to the trou-
BILE of trying to preserve them in
this way.
Now, it is well known that
when apples are carefully picked
and properly handled from the
moment they are taken from the
trees, then stored at just the
right temperature, they may be
removed during the winter, in
original packages, and sold at
good prices, and when the retail
ers are taught to depend for
fresh weekly supplies from the
local storage house, the growers
find no trouble in disposing of
large quantities. Besides this,
hundreds of farmers will each
buy a barrel or more for private
use. A public storage room,
properly iced each winter by the
company owning it, would be a.
bout all the expense attached to
this system for Big Cove and its
contributing territory, and we re-
spectively submit the question to
our enterprising readers. Where
an ice plant would not be profit
able, natural ice stored during
the previous winter would last
until cold weather again comes.

After having visited among
relatives and friends in Fulton
county, Miss Margaret Patterson
returned to her home in Cumber-
land county Tuesday afternoon.
Margaret likes to come to Fulton
county when the sliding is good.
The State now owns about L.
900, 900 acres of what was once
timber la n d s. Millions more
might as we'll be bought by the
State, as the land is not fit for
agricultural purposes, and what
little timber remains on it is be-
ing rapidly wasted.
Roy B. Fogelsanger, of Cum
berland county, came over the
mountain to McConnellsburg
Monday evening, and on Tues
day looked over the Alex Patter-
son farm in the Cove. Mr.. Fo-
gelsanger is Alexis son-in-law
(Janet's husband). He is pleased
with the appearance of the Cove,
and will likely take charge of the
farm in the spring.
John N. Duvall, of Wells VAL
ley, finding his corncribs empty
did not 60 to Egypt for supply,
but came all the way to Big Cove
last week for a load of corn.
Two days later he returned, not
to bring back anybody's silver
cup, but to secure another load
of corn for which he left some
silver coin of the realm. Corn is
selling here for SIPS per barrel
for best quality.
Now that snow covers the
ground, chickens cannot find pro-
per kind of grit. Oyster shells
will not answer for grit-they
are too soft. If you cannot buy
grit, pound up all the broken chi
ma you can find, fiinty rocks,
limestone, or any stone that will
break with sharp edges apd cor
ners. Grit from streams is no
good, as the edges are always
worn off. The health of your
hens depends largely upon the
supply of grit. If you live on
slate land, it pays to buy sharp
grit all the year. Slate is too
soft for proper grit.
There is a story going the
rounds of our exchanges telling
how a certain lady was left with
the management of a farm, and
that the first thing she did was
to send the hired man to State
College for training. The story
adds that she soon made up for
this expense by the increased
productiveness of her farm, and
by the elimination of a lot of
wasteful methods. The only
strange thing we can discover in
this story is that, knowing the
advantage, many more do not
bundle off the hired man to have |
him scientifically trained. |

of success is going to get that cir"
"She is too good for either of us"
insisted Frank, and believed it.
Neither correspondent with her, but
both kept her in their minds. And
Virginia knew of it. The sister of Hal
was quite as diligent in reporting the
progress of dear HaI' to Miss Leigh
ton as was Kitty Burton in boasting
of the splendid success Frank was
making as a surgeon in the distant
city.
Frank went diligently at work to
make a name for himself. 1t was
slow work. Old DR.. Mott had an es-
tabished clientele, and they chung
to his personal ministrations in pref
erence to his new and untried assist
ant. This gave Frank plenty of oppor-
tunity to exploit his pet hobby
chemistry.
He began to grow slightly disheart-
ened.
He met Ferris rarely, but learned
where he had made several brilliant
financial moves. Hal was a plunger
and happened to strike luck, or
thought he had. At all events, he
lived a pace Frank had not the means
tn keen I'D with. so they naturally
drifted apart.
Some relief from his respondent
mood was afforded from companion
ship with a bright, cratic fellow
named Ralph Davis. They roomed
together and soon got to think good
deal of one another. Perhaps it was
because pretty Kitty at home had
leaning toward rhymsters, perhaps
the poetic instinct indicated by the
verse Virginia had written influenced
Frank to feel lenient and friendly to-
ward Davis for the latter thought

Frank heard that Hal had made a
great financial splurge and was back
at Hopeton parading his wealth and
success.

dejectedly, and sat in his room one
evening looking over the one memen-

He must have gone to sleep, for he
was aroused by Davis, who was shak- =
ing him by the shoulders vigorously.
"FWake up, old fellow" he hailed.
"See here, what picked up on the
floor" and he waved the scrap of pa

''Who wrote that? A lady, see, and

Frank was in a tender mood. He
felt sad and lonely. 1t did him good
to tell the story of his great disap-
pointment to a true friend.
