Credit Due.

Concrete work was successfully
done on the bridge at the west
foot of Green Hill while the ther-
mometey registered zero. Fur
naces were !udde by placing three
pieces of galvanized culvert pipe
side by side in which fires were
kept burning. Sand, cement and
water were heated on these fur
naces, and after the mixture was

hot stone held the concrete at a

for the "spunk" displayed b y

the work at that time would have
meant a miserable crossing at

To Horse Breeders.

The Pennsylvania Live Stock
Sanitary Board has sent a long
circular to the newspapers advis-
ing that good horses will be very
high in price soon. The matter
in hand may be condensed as fol-
lows: The normal home demand
for horses will be resumed this
spring. Foreign demand is not
only at hand, but it will be great
er as soon as reconstruction be-
gins after the war is over. Many
other logical reasons are given
why horses will be high, and it
is to put all owners of breeding
mares on guard against sacrific-
ing them that the circular is be-
ing sent out. They are advised
to breed their mares to thorough
bred horses.

Wolves Follow Armies.

We once heard a native Texan
express doubt as to the veracity
of a Pennsylvania man when the
latter said that hundreds of deer
and bears were annually killed in
the Keystone State. These west
ern-born men seem to think tha'
the old eastern states are to
thickly settled for large gan,
like bears and deer. Since win
ter settled over the countries il
which European armies are fight
ing, packs of hungry wolves hav
been killing and eating wounded
soldiers. While we know it is
true, the statement arouses feel
ings similar to those of the Tex
an, because Americans are prone
to think Of European countries as
being too thickly settled fo
wolves fierce brutes that hav,
become extinct In all older part
of the United States.

Will Fulton County QUAKE"

That Fulton county is right in
line with possible earthquakes
is not at all improbable. Earth
quakes are caused by the settling
of faults in the earth's crust. At
some time, probably while the
cooling process of the many stra-
ia of the earth's crust was in
operation, two or more strata be-
came jammed as in wrinkles of
cloth, and one was forced out and
upwards until it reached the sur
face-or near the surface, and
now lies with one edge against
that of a much more recent for
nation of earth and rock. This
meeting of a very old stratum
with one of more recent forma-
ton is called a fault" just as
anything out of place is a fault.
1t stands to reason, therefore,
that the foundation on which
these two edges rest may, at any
time, settle a few feet or inches,
and this would cause the earth's
surface to tremble along the line
of the fault.
Pennsylvania greatest fault
(geological-not politicaD liz 8
near Webster Mills. At tn s
point a stratum that, by all the
laws of geology, should be buri-
ed more than 800 feet, appears
near the surface and lies jam
med" against what is known as
stratum No. 2, and while it may
be pretty well welded" by this
time, no man can tell when a tre-
NOR of greater or less severity
may occur at this fault. Earth
quakes have been known to oc-
cur in faults as seemingly well
settled as is this one. 1t is
thought that the heavy cannon
aiding in European countries may
have furnished the slight jar that
was all that was needed to topple
the foundations of the faults in
Italy's surface, and the recent
frightful disaster resulted.
Ayr township citizens need not
take alarm and sell out at the
first opportunity and move away,
since the foregoing dissertation
will not produce sufficient jar"
to set off an earthquake in Full
ton county.

II Helps All Round.

Plans for helping needy poor
at home, and at the same time
greatly increasing the value of
contributions to Belgian sufferers
are being carried out in many
large towns and cities. The plan
is to collect funds from all who
care to contribute to the Belgian
Relief Fund. Some of the mon-
ey is then used to purchase ma
terial for garments. These gar
ments are being made up by the
needy women of the city, and
they are paid fair price for
their work. Each woman is per-
mitted to do from two to three
dollars worth of work aweek.
Since the finished garment is
worth more than the cost of the
material plus the sum paid for
its making, the intrinsic value of
the Belgian shipment is increas-
ed. This works no hardship on
regular garment makers, as the
product of the private sewers
does not in competition with
the markets of the former. The
work furnished to these needy
women has proved to be a great
relief of want, while at the same
time they have not been made to
feel that they are objects of char
ity-they earned the money.

Farmers Institute.

Elsewhere in this issue, we
print the program for the Nov
able Institute School to be held
in the Court House in McCon-
nellsburg February 8, 8, 10, H..
1t is recommended that this pro-
gram be saved. 1t will be con-
venient as a reference in case
you cannot attend every session,
but would like to know when GER
tain subjects are to be discussed.
Be sure, therefore, that your
copy is not mislaid. We repeat
what we said last week about at
tendance, namely, that every
young man and young women at
tend every session if possible.
There is nothing like rubbing ell
bows with fellow workers to
arouse enthusiasm in business.
The sense of fellowship among
soldiers is what enables them to
face unhinchingly the greatest
dangers. All important manu-
featuring industries are support
ed by the association of members
for the discussion of plans and
methods, and this in the face of
the fact that manufacturing con-
Germs are business rivals, while
the business of farming is
best served by the prosperity of
neighbors. But, farmers as a
class are the least inclined to
take advantage of this way of
boosting business. How long, do
you suppose, the manufacture
of shoes, clothing, machinery, or
any other commodity, wo u d
stand for paying Sc a ton more
for raw material than they should
rather than get their heads to-
gether and devise plans for get
ting supplies at the least posi-
BILE cost? Do you imagine for
one moment that they would pay
$16 for 1-S-1 fertilizer when a
mixture of three times tn a
strength can be bought for but
little more? Not a bit of it!
Three times SIG is $4S. Three
times 1-S.1 are 3-24-3, and while
fertilizer does not usually come
to us in exactly that proportion,
if it did, it would be worth at
McConnellsburg, about $32. Nor
is this all; in the first mixture we
have to haul three tons out over
the cute little hills of this county
but in the latter case we had to
haul but one. If by attending
the institute we acquire nothing
else than the ability to read a
fertilizer bag, it would be worth
$100. 90 a year.

FIRE IN BELFAST.
John Bard's Dwelling House Entirely
Destroyed Tuesday Evening. Some
Household Goods Saved.

About four o'clock, Tuesday
afternoon, smoke was seen issu-
ing from the garret of John
Bard's dwelling house on Pleas
ant Ridge in Belfast township.
An effort was made to get into
the garrett, but the dense smoke
and heat made it impossible. On
account of the meager supply of
water, small force of freight
ers, the only thing left was to
get all the household goods out
to place of safety, and in this
they were reasonably successful;
but the house was totally de-
stroyed. Mr.. Bard's son Virgil
and family lived in the house and
Mr.. Bard had his home with them.
We understand that there is some
insurance, but that does not make
the change from living in a nice
comfortable house to that of
bunking these cold nights in a
carpenter shop or smoke house
any more attractive.
