May Not Ship Game.

A recent law provides that no
game taken in the state of Penn
sylvania may be shipped from
one point to another unless the
owner accompany same. The
Secretary interprets the law to
mean that it shall apply to par
eel post, freight, express, rural
mail carriers, and private con-
veyances. The law further states
that when game is being carried
by the owner either by train or
by any other conveyance, it shall
be carried on the person or pack
ed in such manner that there will
be no doubt as to contents of
packages, with owners name and
address plainly marked, and the
package must be of easy access
for inspection. A McConnells-
burg hunter who goes to the
country for few days may not
send his kill home by friends
unless the owner goes with it.
The owner and carrier would be
subject to same fine as if game
was killed out of season.

Wonderful Hens.

On the last day of October, an
egg-laying contest of 365 days
was completed at the Delaware
Experimental Station. One pen
of five hens averaged 242 eggs
per hen for the year. One of
these hens named Lady Eglan-
tine," laid the largest number of
eggs laid by one hen in 365 con-
secutive days-3l4 eggs. She
began laying on September 2,
1914, and missed but 81 days dur
ing the year, while the average
Pennsylvania hen misses at least
300 days. She is a White Leg
horn, and weighs three and a
half pounds. 314 Leghorn eggs
weigh 35 to 40 pounds. 1t will
be seen that this hen produced
from ten to eleven times her own
weight in eggs. To accomplish
such marvellous results she had
to be kept in the pink of health
by cleanliness and wholesome
food and pure water. She was
given every variety of food that
a hen must have to keep vigor-
GUS andmanufacture eggs. Eggs
from such hens sell for as much
as S. each, and her owner says
her weight in gold would be re-
fused for her.
Hens for egg-laying purposes
are developed by trap nesting.
Nests are arranged in a simple
manner so that when a hen en-
ters she traps herself and after
she has laid the keeper releases
her and keeps an account of her
eggs. When hen is thus found
to be a good layer, her eggs are
hatched and the best layers from
these are saved. This process is
repeated until the owner has
nothing but heavy layers in his
flock, for, as soon as a hen is
found that does not produce the
required number of eggs, she is
sold to the butcher. 1t has been
found that the male bird, bred
from heavy layers. has more to
do with reproducing layers than
any other similar factor in the
business of producing egg-laying
strains of poultry.

Bought Henry Farm.

Rural Credit And Rural Tariff.

The South and the West and
the Northern agricultural states
have much to learn in the way of
rural thrift from the New Eng
land rural communities. The
constant cry is easier credit for
the farmer, but what the farmer
most needs is more thrift. Some
of the Southern states are cursed
with crop lien laws which are
holding back the rural communi-
ties by allowing a man to mort
gage his future work and hopes
and keeps him continually in
debt instead of allowing him to
lay something aside. 1t is an as
tonishing fact that Massachusetts
has five times more savings bank
deposits than have twelve south
ern states. In Massachusetts
there are $500, 900 people and 2,
250, 900 of them have savings
bank deposits. In three years
the savings banks in connection
with the public schools showed
1,400 600 deposits. Every school
in the rural communities ought
to have a course of thrift talks
whereby the teacher could lay be
fore the scholars the necessity of
saving a portion of whatever
money they might earn. This
money could be deposited in saw
ings banks and, later, when it
has grown, could be used to pur-
chase good, safe bonds paying
three and one-half to five per
cent interest. The child minds,
as well as the minds of those who
are older, should be impregnated
with the fact that it is not what
one earns that makes a compe-
tency for old age, but what one
lays aside.

Resolutions.

OuHudy evening, OCCOUcT oloI,
the following resolutions were
passed by the Union Congrega-
ton of all the Churches of Nc
Connellsburg.
WHEREAS, The Church o f
Jesus Christ on Earth is the
means by, with, and under,
which Almighty God establishes
his Kingdom on earth; and
WHEREAS, That Liquor Traf-
fic is a great, organized enemy of
the Kingdom of God, fearful
menace to any community in
which it is licensed, and is now
assuming such tremendous pro-
portions in McConnellsburg in
view of the proposed increase of
licenses; and
WHEREAS, The laws of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania
declare the citizens right to re-
monstrate to the license court
against the licensing of hotels
shall be taken into consideration
as well as the petition for license
by the court; and since the church
of McConnellsburg has come to a
crisis now that it must stand in
the Command of God ito put the
evil from their midst" or die, be
it, RESOLVED
l. That we the members of the
church of Jesus Christ of McCon-
nellsburg, and others, openly op-
pose the onslaughts of the Lii
quor Traffic.
2. That we men, women, and
children, sign our names to the
remonstraL es to be presented to
the license Court.
3. That since it is a long estab-
lished ruling of the Protestant
Church, contrary to which min
lister may not go, that the men,
ber of the church who signs a
liquor license be disqualified while
his name appears on the paper,
we request our brethren, men,
bers of the church and friends
not to sign the licenses, and if
they have signed unwittingly al
ready, that they remove their
names from the license petition
at once.
4. That, since it requires the
names of twelve men only, who
are voters among US to validate a
license petition, we fulfill the
commands of Our Lord wherein
he says, Come out from among
them and be ye separate" and
come out from among them and
separate ourselves from them.
5. That we have printed in our
County papers in the name of the
Church of McConnellsburg the
names of all those who sign the
license papers this year so we
may know who they are that the
Lord holds responsible and asks
of us to come out and be separ-
ate from.
6. That our church councils
with others who are interested
have a union meeting in the near
future and start the circulating
of the remonstrances which we
will sign.
7. That these resolutions be
printed in the county papers.

We teach by careful demonstrations
explaining every step and motion of
the dance and you can accomplish
more in half the time than any other
school of dancing in the city. Why
can we do so? Because we teach in
detail every part of the dance so that
you may not only dance correctly, but
know how to do them. Because we
teach the head to know and direct the
feet, and do not pull or haul you
around. Because by our method it
is impossible to conflict dances as we
teach the motion as well as the steps.

and hard work amonk my people in
the insurance capicity, one, year of
thine time has been given to the peo-
pie of Kansas City, and l am very
pleased to say that l have been into
over 1000 homes in this city who
state they would much prefer hav-
ing young men of their own race call
ing to their homes collecting their in
surance than white agents collecting
their insurance, and only wished that
some old line responsible company
writing weekly insurance would en-
ploy colored men as agents. After
learning that our people are so very
anxious TO have colored collectors, l
have taken up this subject with the
home office, and they have willingly
consented to give colored agents an
opportunity, providing l can find am
bilious men who are willing to work
and learn the business. Thihs is the
problem that confronts me now is
finding the men who are willing to
work. We will pay you well for your
services. We are also writing month
ly insurance. Experience is not nee.
essary, as l am willing to teach you
the business. If you are not in posi-
ton to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, I will appreciate it IL you will
advise a friend whom you think has
the ambition to make good in the in
surance business. Call at my office
and let's talk it over together. Call
