INDIAN SCHOLARS
 OBSERVE HUMANE
 WEEK BY PARADE
By ESTELlE ARMSTRONG

An earnest effort IS DelnS made To interest the pupils of the Phoenix In dian school in the subject of Kindness to animals. The week commencing May Is was set aside by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for observance in the public schools of the United States as Humane Week, in which special emphasis was given the subject.
 Out at the Indian school there is an organization of about fifty boys, com posed of the boys who care for the stock and work teams and of members of the Y. NJ. C. A., who have taken the pledge to be kind to animals. The members of this society will observe Humane Week by an auto parade this afternoon, the members of the society painting the banners they are to carry
 Humanitarian ideas mark a certain stage in the progress of mankind to which only certain races have imper- fectly attained. To those races vet enSrossed in the struggle for civiliza- ton such ideas are almost unknown To tell the average adult Indian that his horse and his dHg have any rights which he is bound N respect would be as incomprehensible to him as a prob- lem in geometry to q child of five Humane teaching is more than simply teaching kindness to animals-it i'm plies character building. It's field is the human heart and the theme should he touched upon frequently by every preacher and writer whose aim is to make the world better. "The only diff ference between cruelty to man and cruelty to animals is the difference of the victim"
 An educators recognize the fact that every child needs thorough. systematic training along humane lines if his character is to be uniformly developed. Haphazard teaching accomplishes lit- tle-spasmodic attempts to enlist a child's sympathy by reading pathetic stories or relating harassing incidents will fail to produce lasting results. Nothing but constant. persistent and patient presentation of the subject in the phase best adapted to the mental development of the student will ac- complish the desired end, and even this will often fail It is a task wherein the worker is building for the future is laborinS to the end that future gen erations may he born with the humane ; instincts now being instilled into the ! hearts and minds of their progenitors The example set by the boys at the Indian school could well be followed by the boys and girls in the public schools
 Bands of Mercy aH found all over tho land, tine boys and giris belonging hay ! ing taken the following pledge: q will try to be kind to all living creature: and to protect them from cruel usage 1 Can anyone suggest a better motto fol

House Burned.

Last Sunday even ing, the
dwelling house owned and occupi-
ed by Eb Cake east of Scrub
Ridge, on what is known as the
Dalbey place, near the Lincoln
Highway, was destroyed by fire
together with all the contents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lake were in Nc
Connellsburg attending preach
ing when the fire broke out and
they knew nothing of their loss
until they neared their home
some time after nine o'clock. A
neighbor, Abram Pittman, was
the first to arrive at the fire, and
he reports that the whole build
ing, including the roof, was a
mass of flames, making it impos-
sible to save anything in the
house. Those who saw it before
the building fell think the fire
started in the garret, and that a
smoldering fire in the Aue may
have been the cause. In addi-
tion to all other household goods,
forty dollars in money went up
in smoke. Although there was
some insurance, the loss will be
keenly felt by the young people
who went to house keeping only
about two years ago. "Eb" is a
son Of John Lake who lives close
by.

nust Grin and Bear 1t.

By reason of certain factors
never before known in a presi-
dental campaign, the present
one has brought to the surface
the most disgusting editorials
ever inflicted upon a long-suffer-
ing public. Listen to what the
Sage of Potato Hill says about it.:
"The real questions of moment
are hidden in the crime of over
praise or overabuse; the real
news is covered up by means Of
sensationalism or prejudice. For
merly an American, when politics
because so bad he could no long
er stand it, might call his dog,
put out his fire, and move out
west, to make a new start; but
the free land in the West has
been taken up; the only thing to
do now is to reform public af-

Mrs. D. A. Stoops, Grove City,
Pa, sent money to pay up until
1917 and asked what had become
of her friends in the southern
part of this county? She and
others would like to hear from
friends through the NEWS. Let's
see about it.
Correspondents in the south
ern part of the County complain
that their mails do not reach the
News in time for publication.
Let's see about that too. Bet
we can hit the nail on the head
first crack at it. 1t is because
the correspondent thinks he or
she must wait until after Sunday
to mail their letters to us-guess-
ed it first trial, didn't we? Now
why should you wait until after
Sunday? All that happens on
Sunday that is worth printing
would go into three lines. Now,
friends please try our plan just
a few times and see how well it
will work. Sit down each Fri
day evening, or, in time to catch
the Saturday mail out, and write
up the news of the week, deaths,
marriages, accidents, strangers
in the neighborhood, and who
have gone away (say for 25 miles
or more, } and if you should hap
pen to forget a few neighborhood
Sunday visits, we and our read
ers will freely forgive you. Try
mailing your letters from these
distant points on Saturday.
Ask US for stamped and self
addressed envelopes for cores
pondents-we furnish them free
ly. But you must notify us
when to send.

How TO Buy Fertilizer.

For the season of 1916, we be-
lieve there will be little fertilizer
sold containing nitrogen and pot
ash. If the analysis, always
plainly marked on bags, indicate
the presence of either of these
two ingredients, there will be
sure to be a prohibitive price
asked by the manufacturer. AS
an illustration but one per
cent. potash is indicated, the ad-
ded price will be several dollars
a ton, Now, we all know that
unless several hundred pounds to
the acre be used, one per cent.
potash would not grow a hill of
beans, and since few farmer in
Fulton County have the courage
to apply more than 200 pounds of
fertilizer to the acre, we hearth
ly advise that nothing but acid
phosphate be purchased this year
Keep clear of all goods marked
with half, or one per cent of
any other part. Buy the straight
acid goods IA to Is per centpure.
This is the year in which lime
should be literally applied. Then
as our best farmers know, use
all efforts to produce sods. The
practice of using lime and ferti-
lizer to produce cash crops of
grain is ruinous-our thousands
of run down" acres should be
proof sufficient. Produce stiff
sods and you will never again
say that Fertilizers last but one
year." Plough these sods down
before they have been robbed
until a rabbit would starve on
them, and the vexing question of
reclaiming lands will have been
solved.

Attacked By Dogs.

One day during latter part of
last week, Mrs. Nancy Sprigs,
who lives at the foot of the Ridge
west of town, had an experience
with dogs that she will not for
get. Nancy was frying meat
and when her attention was at
tracted elsewhere for about two
seconds a dog grabbed the meat
and ran. Nancy followed, but
another dog caught her by the
ankle and bit her severely so that
she had to seek medical aid. DR..
Robinson dressed the wounds.
One dog was killed. Nancy has
the sympathy of many friends
for the loss of her supper and
for the painful wounds.

INFECTED PIECE OF NATURE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,

Our streams once undefled by

They ran through our valleys and

beauty and offered to all animate

Gently quench the thirst of man

Today it is not so. Man relent-
lessly, regardless of his brother
down stream, now throws his
waste and that of domestic ami

nearest his home.
In that with which Nature has
endowed much of our territory
more richly than many other
countries, we now find lurking
poison has been hidden, in some
cases only to be seen by the aid
of the microscope.
Now is the season when we
travel through the country to be
happy and lay up energy and
strength for the toll of the COM
ing winter. Alas! The want of
intelligence and care makes US
deaf to the teaching of preven-
tive medicine and we quench our
thirst at the stream we run
across regardless of its purity,
and often the sparkling tumbler
of water is only to be compared
with the draught of the deadly
hemlock. The parched lips have
been moistened and the thirst
satisfied but the day of judgment
too often comes bringing the de-
velopment of typhoid fever which
in years past we could only COM

that ravaged our ancient cities.
Those of US who collect, tabu-

statistics that show the suffering
and sorrow that still continue
from typhoid fever, beg you to
awake to that which causes so
much distress. By proper care
it can be avoided.

will follow and defeat the object

LETTER FROM the FRONT.
Company c. Arrives at FL PasO. Boys
Treated Royalty Along the Route
TO Border.

DEAR EDITOR: AS stated in
my last letter, we left Mt. Gret-
ma July 9th. At Harrisburg |
was one of a squad detailed to
store provisions in the cooking
car. Our train then passed over
the main line of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad westward. At Co.
lumbus, Ohio, the troops were
given a little exercise to prevent
them from getting tired of rid
ing. Our next stop was Indian
apolis. At Terre Haute we were
given a hearty reception, lemo-
made was served and each man
was given a postcard to send
home. The trip across the state
of Indiana was almost a continu-
GUS ovation. Going by way of
St. Louis and Kansas City to Dal
hart, Oklahoma, we were again
given another exercise of about
fifteen minutes at Dalhart. Pass
ing through Oklahoma, Arizona,
and New Mexico, we found the
towns rather small and scattered
and the land given over chiefly
to grazing.
At last we arrived at our new
home five miles from Ell Paso,
at a small station called Fort
Bliss. Everything is very quiet
here-not as much excitement as
in old Pennsylvania. Will write
more as soon as | get a line on
the situation here. Please send
my paper to Camp and publish
my full address for the benefit of
parents and any who may wish
to get in touch with Company c.
Thank you for the stamps-they
are a scarce article here.
Yours truly,
JOHN c. BISHOP,
Co. c, Sth Inft., 9rd Brig, 7th
Div. Camp Stewart, Ell Paso,
Texas.
