ceiling from $1,000 to 81, 200
worth of stamps per year. Six
years ago the amount of cancella-
ton brought the postmaster's
share up to 81, 600 and as this is
lowest salary for a third class Of
flee, the McConnellsburg office
was changed to that class. In
stead of depending on the cancel
lation of stamps for his pay, the
third class postmasters are paid
according to the amount of sale
of stamps, and the sale of stamps
at this office has increased year
by year and Mr. Woollet has, dur
ing the past six years, been grant
ed four increases of salary and
at the time he retired from the
service, was receiving 81, 400 a
year. Mr.. Woollet informs us
that the increase of sales of
stamps is still going on, so that
it will be but a short time un-
til the salary will be 81, 500. The
yearly sale of stamps at this Of
flee now runs between SO, 600 and
$3,500. In addition to this sal
ary, third class postmasters re-
ceive additional allowances for
clerk hire. McConnellsburg is
the only third class postoffice in
the County. All other postmas-
ters in Fulton county are paid ac-
cording to the amount of stamps
cancelled.
Mr.. Woollet passed his 77th
birthday on the 21st day Of
last December. At the time this
picture of him was made he was
about sixty years of age. Those
who know him best now, would
not take him to be any older than
he was at that time. From post
office inspectors, directly, we
learn that his accounts with the
department have been excep-
tionally satisfactory, and his rec
ord as postmaster stands with
the highest.
For a small town, this is a
"long-hour" Office. First mail
leaves at 5 o'clock a. M, and the
last mail arrives at 9 p. M, SO
that the actual working hours are
fifteen, for it is about ten O'Clock
at night before Office can be clos
ed. But Mr.. Woollet leaves the
service with the best wishes of
thousands of friends for the eff
cient manner in which he con-
Quoted it. For about ten years,
William A. Sloan, Esq. was assis-
tant postmaster, and for the re-
mainder of Mr.. Woollet's time he
has been ably assisted by John
P, Conrad Esq.
Since not more than a score of
patrons have been added to this
office, it is a matter of interest to

More Hard Cider.

OoiileIiIile ago we puDlleneO q
letter from a Licking Creek town
ship sufferer in which the writer
complained bitterly because in
toxicating hard cider was being
sold to drunkards in his district.
We have before US another letter
of the same kind, from the same
locality. The letters were
intended to give publicity
to feelings against tn e
man, or men, who are selling
the intoxicant. We are always
willing to assist in maintaining
high standards of morals in the
County; but in this particular in
stance, newspaper publicity could
not reach and reform the indivi-
dual who, for such small gain,
would debauch his neighbors.
But there is remedy, and the
punishment provided for break
ing the liquor laws of the State
is severe. The offender is not
handled by sympathetic friends
in court. The offenses in this
case seem so gross that we Won
der that the authorities have not
been notified. If the wife, moth
er, daughter, or sister, of the vic
tim Of the seller of hard cider
would make information against
the latter, she could feel certain
that the community would be
quickly rid of the offender; the
County would utter never a COM
plant for having to pay his board
in the penitentiary for number
of years, for a term in that insti-
tuition would be the inevitable
outcome of a complaint from any
suffering woman.
Ours is the land of the free and
the home of the brave, and there
is nothing upon the statute books
Of Pennsylvania to hinder any
man from making all the cider
he wishes to make; nor to hinder
him from keeping it in the cellar
until it becomes as hard as Pha-
raoh's heart; nor to hinder him
from drinking the hard cider and
becoming as drunk as two owls,
provided, always, that he does
not let any one see him while in
an intoxicated condition; for it is
an offense against the law to get
drunk, and any person so doing,
is liable to arrest and fine; and
provided further, that the maker
of the cider does not sell nor
give the said cider to any one
else.
If he do, he is liable to prose-
cution, fine, and imprisonment
just the same as for handling
whisky without license. Now,
there is plenty of law, and all
you have to do is to point out the
offender to the District Attorney
and he will do the rest. Get bu-
sy. 1t don't do any good to
Jaw" about a thing.

LUBIN IN STATE
To talk NEEDS
OF THE FARMER
Will Discuss Marketing, and
Explain How Germans Get
Money at Low Rates.

Little Rock, July 3O.-David Lubin
of California, American delegate to
the international Institute Of Agricul-
ture in Rome, arrived in Little Rock
today to remain several days. He
comes al the solicitation of the Prof
table Farming campaign and allied
! interests, for the purpose OF discuss
ing the problem OF marketing with
the producers and business men OF
the state. The general conference
has been called for next Tue sday
Mr.. Lubin will explain the lands
chaft system which prevails in Ger
many. which enables the farmers to
borrow money at a low rate of inter-
: est. He is travelling Independently
and at his own expense.
1T is not Germany's 42-centimeter
gun, nor the. submarine, nor the great
military force trained to the minute,
that has established her as world
power. capable OF defending her
interests. against the combined
strength OF the world. 1t is the in
terror development OF the Teuton ma
ton; or, in other words. the stamina
she has within her border lines that
has thus far enabled her TO hold her
own. This country will be equally as
great, if not greater, when the units
Of the farming industry are proper
" joined together and the whole
managed on a business basis with a
rural credit system for the protection
OF all.
''The big merchants and big bust
ness men OF this country under our
present system can borrow money at
five per cent, while the farmer has to
pay eight, nine and ten per cent.
And the reason for this is easy to
understand. Failures in business are
not SO frequent as failures in agricul-
tural pursuits. Farmers go into
bankruptcy quite often and that is
why thsy have to pay. more for their
money considering the fact that the
risk on the part of the lender IS
greater. But under the landsckaft
system in. Germany failures rarely
occur. The directors and members
Of the landschsft are all farm re-, all
neighbors, and when one finds him
self in. financial straits, all get to-
gether and pay his interest charges
when due. Thus it is the greatest CO.
operative plan for success and per-
sonal welfare in the world, and it is
not novelty in this or any othe,
country in view of the fact that il
has been in successful operation for
many years

The Pulaskian., 1915-04-23

Taking every precaution to keep their plans a secret, Miss Margaret Dent, 22 years old. of 4300 South Look out Avenue, Hillcrest, and O. c. Eiland, q years old, of Clarksdale, Miss, eloped tc Forest Park Sunday night and were married by the Rev. A. C. Graham, the pastor.
 This was the first marriage in the little Methodist Church at Forest Park. The couple appeared just at the close Of the night service and cautioned the pastor to secrecy. The lights were turned off in the church to hasten the departure of the worshipers so that the marriage ceremony could proceed, but were shortly afterwards turned on again. Some young people, noticing the strangers and suspecting a TO- nance, returned and witnessed the wedding through an open window That is the way the news became known The minister nor the license clerk either would give the newspapers any information.
 The bride is daughter of Col. R. E. Dent, a prominent Woodruff Coun- ty farmer, whose family moved here several years ago from Augusta Major S Dent, brother, is note teller at the Southern Trust Company. Before her marriage the young lady was employed in the State Labor Bureau.
 MT Eiland departed on the night of his marriage for Mississippi The couple expected to make public their wedding in the fall, when the young husband will return to Little Rock.
