Large, or Small Farms.

In reply to a group of young
men who wish to have discussed
the question as to whether Penn
sylvania farms should be large,
or small, our answer is, farm ac-
cording to your means. Never
lose sight of the fact that the
cost in labor and seed, to farm a
barrel acre, is as great as
that Of a fifty barrel acre, the
cost in both cases being about
So 5O-ayerage. 1t stands to
reason then, that 5 acres made
to produce go barrels at a cost
Of S62 so, beats all hollow the %
acres that produce 2oO barrels a5
a cost of $3.50. Ia the first in
stance, the cost per barrel is q
cents, while cost in the second
instance is S125 per barrel.
If your capital is small, spread
it thickly over a few acres rath-
er than thinly over many. The
rule holds good whether for grain
hay, pasture, and consequently,
for more live stock.
The only exception to the rule
is in case you could rent a large
and fertile farm and Skin it to
DEATH" if the owner is foolish
enough to permit you to so do.

AutO Accident.

DR.. Ed L. Smith, formerly
practicing in McConnellsburg g,
left his home in Schellsburg on
Monday morning of last week in
a Ford to go to Bedford to attend
bank meeting. Approaching a
cement bridge about two miles
east of his home a front tire
burst with great force. The side
of the car dropped lower and in
order to prevent contact with the
bridge wall, DR.. Smith, who was
running at a good speed, quickly
turned to the opposite side Of the
road; the car locked and immedi-
ately turned over throwing him
out and again turning on its side.
The doctor escaped with a few
bruises, one shoe entirely remov-
ed from his foot, but the car was
a wreck. DR.. Smith found a sill
yer dollar which he had with 9TH
er coin in his pocket about two
hundred feet away from the car.
He is unable to state just how
the accident occurred and how
often the car turned over. He
walked to the nearest residence
phoned to Schellsburg for his
touring car, and reached Bedford
about ten minutes late for the
meeting.

War Sends Sorrow.

For evidence of the worldwide
effects of the European war upon
the lives of citizens in all civilized
nations, few would suspect that
McConneIlsburg would be called
upon to furnish a share; but to-
day son of one of our citizens
lies so badly wounded in a French
hospital that nurses who cannot
write English had to do the best
they could to apprise the parents
of their sons plight. According
ly, a letter written in French
was received on Monday night
by Mrs. c. B. Little, telling her
that a son by her first husband
had been struck by fragments of
a German shell while he was on
duty in the trenches, and, that
while he was not necessarily NOR
tally wounded, he is helpless in
so far as the use of his arms are
concerned.
The unfortunate soldier is Mr..
John j. Ryan, of Hamilton, On
tario, Canada. He is a member
of Battery II, Srd regiment, c.
F. A. Canadian Field Artillery,
and was serving with the Eng
lish army, on French soil, when
ae received his wounds. Strict
censorship of foreign mails for
bade giving details as to exact
location Of trenches when Mr..
Ryan was wounded.

Easter in the Churches.

The Lutherans rendered a beau
tiful Cantata, "rhe Gospel of
Easter" to large and apprecia-
tive audience in the High School
Auditorium, on Sunday evening.
After half of the musical enter
talnment had been rendered, Mrs
R. E. Peterman gave a select
reading, after-which, the latter
half of the cantata was given.
Early Sunrise services were
held in the Presbyterian and in
the Lutheran church at 6 O'Clock
both of which were attended by
a large number of persons. Com
munion services were held in the
Reformed church at 1890 and at
the services in the Presbyterian
church in the evening the recent
ly elected church and Sunday
school officers were installed. Rev
DR.. Whalen, of Frederick, Md.
preached in the Reformed church
Saturday evening, Sunday morn
ing, and in the Presbyterian
church in the evening. Rev. A.
S. Luring, new mi mist r"
preached in the Methodist church

Crop aud Livestock Reort.

L. H. While, of this place, Sta
tistican, Department of Agricul-
ture, has sent out his report for
March. Itcontains many things
of interest, among which are:
Eatimate of farm animals in the
State; Condition of crops by
counties, &c. For Fulton -coun-
ty, he estimates the number of
pure bred stallions, z; pure bred
bulls, II; same for boars, 16;
rams, Ia; number Of farmers VIII
are fattening steers for market,
6; average number Of tons Of
fertilizer used by each farmer
Il; average price of fertilizer
paid by Fulton county farmers,
$15. so. The average price paid
in the State is S20.S0, while in
some counties the average price
paid is S24.00. 1T is in counties
noted for rich soil that the aver
age price paid runs highest.
Surely there is something for us
to learn from that. The wheat
outlook is 10 per cent. below av-
erage, owing to freezing.

Asks For Information.

Men are not all of the same
mind even on the greatest OF
questions and it is not surpris-
ing that they should not all hold
to the same opinion on the Wa
man Suffrage question. Any one
desiring to express his, or her,
opinion on the subject through
the Fulton County News, and
will do so over his own name,
and not ask for that privilege
more than twice, will be granted
a reasonable space, provided
there be nothing personal in the
article. Mr.. Geo. Wa. Mellott, of
Whips Cove, submits the follow
ing:
who changed the rules that
are laid down in the Bible? Is
Woman Suffrage right? Let the
Word of God Speak.
And thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over
thee. Genesis 3:16.
But | would have you know
that the head Of every man is
Christ, and the head of the wo-
man is the man, and the head of
Christ is God. l Corinthians II:
3.
They are commanded to be
under obedience as also saith the
law / Corinthians 14:34.
For the husband is the head
of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the Church. Ephesians
5:23.
For after this manner in the
old time, the holy women also,
who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection to
their own husbands, even as Sa-
rah obeyed Abraham, calling him
lord. 1 Peter 3:5 6.
"And Adam was not deceived;
but the woman being deceived,
was in the transgression. For
.his cause, the woman was bid
den to be in subjection. 1 Timo-
.ly PA.
The same rule comes down
through the old Bible and the
New Testament. Paul says there
is no other rule, but what we
have laid down, and thought we,
or an angel, preach any other
word, let him be accursed. Paul
could not change the rule: an an
gel cannot change it; Christ has
set his seal upon it; and no one
can remove it but him.
Now if some one can make
the question plain, would be
glad to learn to know and how it
can be; as the woman is the
weaker vessel, and this being so
how could she be expected to car
ry a burden equal with a han."
