Very Cheap Water Power.

An inventor is demonstrating
at Frederick, Nd, that electri-
city may be generated cheaply
by water power without the use
of a dam. Almost any small
stream may be harnessed to fur
nish light for farm houses. or to
pump water. A V-shaped float
is anchored on the stream, with
the wide end upstream. AT the
downstream end of the V which
is not closed is a water wheel
which operates a small dynamo,
a small pump-or both--while
the float support the dynamo and
pump. Those mechanically in
clined will readily see that great
force can be obtained, and that
the increased rapidity of flow
will prevent freezing at tn e
wheel.

Dogs and Deer.

The annual complaints that
dogs are killing deer in the coun-
ty have reached this Office. The
Franklin county papers also con-
tain accounts of similar killings
in the South Mountain. Under
the law, South Mountain sports
men are receiving bounty of
$500 for killing dogs found chas-
ing deer. The law applies to all
parts of the State, and is explain
ed by Secretary of Game Com
mission, Joseph Kalbfus, in the
following paragraph:
Where the bounty is claimed
for the killing of a dog, we re-
quire that the claimant should
make affidavit, stating when and
where he killed the dog, clearly
stating that the animal was not
his dog, that he had nothing
whatever to do with tie starting
and the dog when killed was in
the pursuit of deer, preferably
having the claimant state plain
ly that he saw the deer or saw
tracks of the deer and knew that
the dog was in pursuit OF wild
deer. We also require that the
claimant shall send to this office
with his affidavit the ears of the
dog killed"

NUMBER 21
NATURES ENDOwMENTS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene ty
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Many people make the error of
looking upon health as a crude
possession that Nature bestows
now and again in defiance of her
own laws. True, from time to
time we meet splendid specimens
of manhood and womanhood that
apparently resist unusual hard
ships in an environment which
would not seem conducive to good
health but in Nature nothing
thrives in the long run which is
not given proper conditions.
Every violation of the laws of
Nature makes its impression on
the vitality of man who loses his
resistance at every blow until the
injury is so great that it becomes
manifest to our grosser senses.
The maintenance of health is
to-day based upon both science
and art. Fortunately it is with
in the reach of the vast majority
of our people and the man or
woman who realizes the value of
self control has learned the first
principle.
Appreciation of the things most
worth while, never comes from
excessive indulgence. A rational
life is fairly certain to be an i'm
portant factor in health and hap
piness. Many a man or woman
whom Nature has endowed with
but a medium physique has cul-
tivated and maintained a degree
of bodily health sufficient to in
sure them a rational and pleasur-
able life. On the other hand
many a physical giant has so
presumed upon Natures endow-
ment as to have wrecked that
most precious gift-a good con-
stitution.

Florida Letter.

Mr.. Charlie H. Mann, of st.
Cloud, Florida, writes the NEWS
that he is gradually recovering
from his long siege of typhoid
fever. He has found the long,
hot, inland summers of southern
Florida a disappointment, but
thinks the winters are charming.
He has built a comfortable home,
planted many shade trees, and
otherwise provided for future
comforts; but he hopes to sell
and go farther north in the state
and nearer to the sea coast where
ocean breezes will take the place
of the burning stiffness that fire.
quently takes place on summer
days where he is now.

Temperance $500 Years Ago.

A foreign exchange has this
interesting paragraph: There
is still in existence an Egyptian
papyrus of the date of $500 years
before the Christian era, which,
contains the following caution:
My son, do not llnger in the
wine-shop or drink too much
wine. 1t causeth thee to utter
words regarding thy neighbor
which thou rememberest not.
Thou fallest upon the ground,
thy limbs become weak as those
of a child. One cometh to trade
with thee and findeth thee so.
Then say they, Take away the
fellow, for he is drunk. This
is believed to be the oldest tenn
perance lecture in existence. =

Ladies Win Prizes.

Last summer, the News offer
ed two prizes for historical arti-
cles bearing on the pioneer days
of Fulton county. To the oldest
citizen who wrote, we promised
to send the paper for the remain
der of his or her life. To the
second oldest, for five years. We
received several and published
them. The first. prize went to
Miss Sally While who makes her
home with her niece, Mrs. w.
Scott Brant, near Dane. Miss
While is familiarly known to ma
ny as Aunt Sally" If Aunt
Sally lives until the seventeenth
day Of next July, she will be
eighty-nine years of age. She
has been confined to bed since
December 1914. but she retains
her faculties and was able to die
tate some interesting stories of
things that took place at the time
when the old Chambersburg and
Bedford turnpike was the main
artery of commerce between the
eastern sea coast and Pittsburgh
and the West. In those days,
the road that is now known as
the Lincoln Highway presented
more picturesque scenes than its
successor, the Pennsylvania rail-
road does to-day, owing to the
modes of travel. The second
prize went to Miss Elizabeth Bal
ley, of Thompson township, who
celebrated her eighty-sixth BIRTH
day on the thirteenth of last De-
cember. Miss Bailey described
many customs that surely would
seem strange to the young peo-
pie of to-day.
Two coinc cidents appear in
these letters both ladies are
cripples, Aunt Sally having re-
ceived a hard fall in December
1914, from which she has not re-
covered, and Miss Bailey never
recovered the full use of one of
her ankles injured fifteen years
ago. The other coincident is,
both are maiden ladies', and their
long, well-spent lives, may be
due to their freedom from the
care of a cranky man whose &C.
centricities might have shorten
ed their lives. From this we
reason, like Uncle Rastus, that
many ladies of sixty or seventy
years of age might be now nine
ty or a hundred if they had nev-
er married. Leap year girls will
please take notice.

FRIDAY FORENOON.
Lost Life ID Hotel Fire.

Paul Hendricks aged 21 years,
son of Rev. DR.. Hendricks, of the
Reformed church, Chambers
burg, lost his life in a hotel fire
in Atlantic City last Friday morn
ing. Paul was boarding at the
Hotel Overbrook when shortly
before daylight a fire broke out
in the great building, and Paul
was one of the first to be about
the business of saving lives. Be-
ing an athlete and a perfect spec
linen of physical manhood, he
succeeded in carrying seven peo-
Pile down rope ladders from up
per stories in the hotel and d.
rected fourteen others to the way
of safety. Returning to save one
more, Paul was not seen alive
again, and it is supposed he was
overcome by smoke or fell to
death with a floor dropping.
Paul's father, DR.. Hendricks is
we'll known in McConnellsburg,
he having preached in the Re-
formed, and in the Presbyterian,
church, on more than one occa-
sion.

friendly contest during the month
of January for best attendance.
While the attendance of both
classes was good, the girls won
by a close margin. The forfeit
for the losing side was an enter
tainment, refreshments and SER
vice to be furnished at the Par
sonage. Accordingly, the boys
paid up" bravely and royalty
entertained the little maidens
last Tuesday.

of Carlisle. Harry Shultz, who

returning home and had three
small children with him in the
carriage when he was held up by
a colored man, opposite the aims

the point of a gun and made
Shultz surrender his money,
which amounted to only $1.S0.
The holdup man then command
ed Shultz to drive slowly as far
as the United States avenue and
at the point of his revolver
made his escape. Several
suspects were picked up DUR

they could not be identified.

Costly Fires.

This Office is in receipt of care
fully compiled statistics concern.
ing the damage by fire to oui
forests. In making public this
information. it is with the hope
that private citizens may gel
awake to the necessity for bet
ter protection against this use
less waste something that af.
fects the welfare of every man
and woman in the State. Fires
not only destroy standing tim
ber, but entirely prevent re-for-
estation. They destroy our wa
ter sources by burning up the
sponge that holds back floods in
stead of permitting the surplus
water to filter away gradually
during dry months. They make
impure what little water remains
to find its way under ground to
our wells and springs. Space
forbids further elaboration.
The Department of Forestry
reports l, 101 forest fires in Penn
sylvania during 1915. The eau
ses are given as follows: Rail-
roads, 274 fires, doing $1S5, 00C
damage; brush burning on dry
or windy days, 105 fires, doing
$35, 600 damage; inceDdiary, 102
fires, doing $9S, 900 damage; care
lessness of hunters, fishermen,
and campers, 136 fires, doing
$10S. 600 damage; miscellaneous,
81 fires doing $4,000 damage;
unknown, 3S2 fires, doing SS65,
600 damage.
Department officials say that
reasonable care would have pre-
vented practically all the fires
except those caused by lightning
and a few which started from
burning buildings.
The department is anxious that
citizens should demand of their
legislator an increase over the
beggarly amount ($45, 900 every
two years. for protection, to at
least $100, 1000.
New York, which prote C is
about the same forest area as
Pennsylvania, appropria tes a
cent an acre each year ford pre-
vention and extinction, and the
average fire covers only 33 acres;
Pennsylvania appropriated only
three tenths of a cent per acre,
and its average fire is ten times
as large-it being 300 acres for
Pennsylvania.

Farm Notes.

January crop and Livestock Re-
port we notice that an unusual
number of his correspondents
complain that dogs have driven
many farmers out of the sheep
industry-men who otherwise
have farms suitable for profitable
growing of wool and mutton.
This leads US to remark that on
February goth a new law goes in
to effect, namely, that constables
will be required to kill all dogs
not bearing a license tag or suf-
er a fine of So for each neglect of
duty.
$4,000 farmers in the State are
using automobiles for business or
pleasure. The number in Fulton
county is said to have doubled
during the year 1915. Total for
the State indicate about one auto
for each ten farmers. Fulton
county farmers have one for each
16 of their number.
The total number of milch cows
in the State increased about one
per cent. during 1915, but the
average value decreased a trifle.
Ten years ago there were l, 102, :
600 sheep in the State, while in
1915 there were but SOC, 900.
The number of hogs compared
with a year ago is about the same
with prices a little lower. Horses
are about holding their own in
numbers and price.
Total value of all livestock in
Pennsylvania is estimated at
$167, 843, 900. Summing up Mr..
Wible's report for Fulton county,
we find few important changes
in the general prosperity condi-
tion as compared with a year ago.
From government bulletins and
other sources, many of our read
ers have learned the average
price of lands in the counties of
the State. The price of unim-
proved land ranges in price, ac-
cording to these reports, from
500 per acre in Fulton and Potter
counties, the price increasing as
large cities appear, until we reach
Delaware county where the price
is given at $240. To our mind,
these figures are of little value
since limestone and poorer quail
ties of land are included in the
average. We think we struck a
better plan three years ago when
we took fifty improved farms ly-
ing in the county outside of Big
Cove and advertised for sale by
one of our real estate agents.
The average price asked at that
time for the fifty improved shale
and slate farms was $11.50 per
acre. We do not have figures
for Big Cove limestone farms.
