WAR THREATENS TO BE FIGHT
AMONG MERE BOYS SOON

London, Oct. 27-The war threat
ems soon to become struggle between
mere boys. The pace is said to be en-
tirely too fast for the older men long
to endure.
It is declared here that next year
the Entente Allies will be facing boys
of II in the German army.
General Sir Douglas Haig, COM
handing the British expeditionary of
icers, is said to have objected to the
sending out of men of middle age. He
wants young men of from Is to rs. At
ter the latter year it is said the fight
ing value of the human unit shows a
rapid and steady decline.
The good soldier of today it seems
must be of the age which excels in
the more strenuous athletic games
the football player type. The older
men have their place, but generally
speaking it is said now to be in "the
army behind the army,"-the men
back of the line, in the supply and
transport divisions where the strain
is not so great. These older men are
100 susceptible to trench disease to
be of great use on the firing line.
England already is registering boys
born in 1899. preparatory to calling
them up when they attain their eigh-
teenth year.

WHEAT HITS s1.75; CORN, $500

Chicago, Oct 27,-The high cost OF
living received a new impetus when
May wheat touched 1.75, almost b
cents above the close Saturday. The
market, excited over bullish news,
opened more than &c higher, climbed
a little, slumped back Is cents, and
then started up again. Buying was
surprisingly strong and offerings cast
upon the market by profit-takers were
absorbed rapidly.
Not to be outdone, corn and oats
followed. Cash corn set high marks
when No. 2 yellow went to 81 and
$1.O1 and No. mixed to 81. oats
went up 2 cents.

women and the eXplOlterS or them.
If those connected with the court
are trained sociologists as they claim
to be and are paid for being, they
know the fundamental cause of pros
titution whether the girl was normal
or a mental defective. They know
exploited women sell themselves over
, and over to get money they cannot
earn honestly and therefore it is the
economic system that causes the
evil They know that the homes for
which they clamor, in which to put
exploited women for a long period
and teach them vocations, will not
stop the creation Of exploited women
in an endless chain and their return
to the life while the economic sys-
TEN remains as it is. Then why do
they sprinkle talcum powder of re-
form over a fostering sore that is
eating into the bone of civilization?
If there wasn't beginning Of ex-
ploitatiOn there could be no middle
way of it. If men were paid enough
on which to marry and properly
nOurish, house and clothe their fam
lies, enough to keep their daughters
from the factory and the mill and
the store until they had their full
strength of maturity and q vocation
al training, and girls paid enough on
which to live there would be no
problem of prostitution, by which 1
consider only the barter and sale of
women, and not illicit sexual rela-
tons.
AS it is, the big firm Of Montgomery
Ward & Co., with its millions Of dol
lars of profit annually, boasts, mind
you, that it pays an average wage of
S15.41 to a.man with a family, which
is quite little higher than the fig
ure given by the census bureau of the
government as the average wage
workingmen with families are re-
ceiving, and we know the starvation
wages paid girls.

further exploiting women already ex-

Excess Of Lime WaStefuI.

Field experiments recen tly
completed at the Pennsylvania
State College School of Agricul-
ture and Experiment Station in
dicate that a large excess of lime
or limestone is wasteful, and that
only a slight excess over that
necessary to "sweeten" the soil
or neutralize acidity should be
applied. g.
For the average acid soil in
Pennsylvania one ton of burnt
lime or twice that amount of
ground limestone per acre is suf-
ficient for an initial application.
On heavy clay soils burnt lime
is preferable on account of its
more pronounced focculating
character, but under normal cor :
ditions the choice between burnt
lime and ground limestone de-
pends upon the relative cost in a
given locality. That about twice
as much ground limestone as
burnt lime is necessary, should
always be borne in mind.
Magnesium limestone has been
shown at the Pennsylvania State
College Station to give the same
results as pure limestone.

Farm Advisers at Command.

Hundreds of requests for the
services of the farm Advisers are
on file at the State Department
of Agriculture and these experts
on farming matters are now in
the field in various points of the
State.
The Department has carefully
selected its corps of Farm Advis-
ers who are practical men in their
particular lines and each one of
them has had years of expert
ence in actual farm management.
The services of these advisers are
offered to the farmers, dairymen,
poultrymen, gardners and fruit
growers of the State who need
help in planning their farm work
and wish to receive practical ad-
vice for the betterment of con-
ditions and crops.
Among the requests that have
been received at the Department
by Deputy Secretary of Agricul-
ture c. E. Carothers, who is in
charge of the work, are a num-
bep from county superintendents
of schools, asking for night lee
lures in rural school houses. The
school authorities report a great
interest among the farmers in
night schools for the development
of agriculture and the experts
will give demonstrations in COM
munity work, breeding and
market gardening and all classes
of community buying and SELL
ing.
The farmers desiring informa-
tion on soils, farm crops, dairy
ing, stock raising, poultry, drain
age, water supply, house SANTA
tian and household economics
should apply to the Department
of Agriculture at Harrisburg at
once. The service is entirely free
and the demand is great. Early
requests will be scheduled and
the work taken up with the farm
ers as soon as, possible.

terday Evangelist Siebert arriv-
ed, and he took charge of the
meetings last night and he will
continue them for a period of two
weeks. The town and communi-
ty are fortunate in having the
presence of an evangelist whose
efforts in other towns have been
blessed to a remarkable degree.
That McConnellsburg stands in
just as great need of a spiritual
awakening as do other cities and
towns goes without saying. Bed
ford, Mount Union, Shippensburg
Chambersburg, Hagerstown and
other neighboring towns have had
recent evangelistic campaigns
with the most gratifying results.
There was a Itime when relig-
ion was supposed to be for wo-
men and children. That time is
past. To-day, as never before,
are men taking the initiative in
all great religious movements.
Men are beginning to realize
that the world is good, or bad,
Just as men make it. If all men
were to band themselves togeth-
er to fight for that which would
lead the world to honesty, truth
fulness, sobriety, recognizing as
their leader the great Captain Of
their salvation, it would not be
long until the light from the Sur
of Righteousness would have
penetrated the darkest corners
of the earth, war would be 8
thing of the past, and mankind
wsuld stand in the relation of one
great worldwide Brotherhood.

Two Ribs Broken.

Joseph E. Mellott, of Belfast
township, met with a serious ac-
cident last Saturday morning.
Having some logs to haul to a
nearby sawmill he, with John
Garland, went to work at an
early hour. MIR. Mellott stepped
on a log that he supposed was
lying solidly, but which turned
with him when he placed his
foot upon it, threw him violently
to the ground, and the log rolled
over Mr.. Mellott's body breaking
two ribs and tearing two others
loose from the spinal column.
Mr.. Mellott's wife, who has
not recovered from a serious at
tack of grip, had gone to the
Doctors for treatment and was
not at home at the time of the
accident.

He married Miss Laura Ken

G. Kendall of Fulton County, in
1899, who, with five children,
Mary, James, Elizabeth, Robert,

Mcdowell home was in many re-
spects ideal. Love. kindness,
gentleness, reverence for par

sacred things characterized this

PREPAREDNESS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, Z. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Could you mobilize on short
notice? Is your individual ply
sical equipment always in con-
dition to meet the demands which
Nature may thrust upon it?
Could you run half a mile if your
life were at stake? Could you
do half a days manual labor
with safety?
Of course you may say with
perfect truth that there are not
apt to be any such demands upon
you. You earn your daily bread
by mental exertion and expect to
continue SO doing. Well and
good, but are you sure that
your mental equipment is at par?
The chances are that the man
who permits himself to deterio-
rate physically connot reach the
maximum of his mental capacity.
Nature unquestionably contem-
plated that the human animal
should have a considerable de-
gree of physical exertion to main
tain life. The complexities of
modern civilization have forced
many men and women into oc-
cupations where it requires eff
fort to find time or opportunity
for even a small amount of exer-
else. Commonly we accept such
condition with some superficial
expression of regret and move
along in our restricted circle of
endeavor until Nature declares
war.
You can make no treaties which
will insure your safety under
such conditions. Nothing short
of a consistent policy of moder-
ate exercises and temperate liv-
ing will prepare you to meet the
vital individual emergency. Your
turn will surely come. Are you
ready?
Personal pride should offer suffi-
cient incentive to a man or woman
to keep in such condition that they
can mount a flight of stairs with
out putting or button their shoes
without contortions.
The man who wants really to
live, should watch his waist
measure and his chest expansion
with, at least, the same attention
that he bestows upon his bank
account.

MARCH HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and Others
Who Have Paid Subscription Dur.
Ing the Past Month.

No, this is not the same list we
published last month. Just as
the first week in each month
shows the appearance of new
stars in the sky, and the reap
pearance of those you saw year
ago, so with the first week in
each month when the Honor Roll
is published, you see some names
for the first time, and others that
are reappearing after having
completed another journey Of a
years duration. In fact, all Of
these persons whose names appear
in the Honor Roll this month re-
turned home at midnight last Fri
day after having had a long trip.
They started out just a year be-
fore in the old airship Earth and
swung entirely around the sun,
being at one time (about the first
of lastOctober) more than 190mill-
ion miles from home (the starting
point. } The distance Travelled in
the journey was aomething more
that Gil million miles, a speed of
something like 70 thousand miles
an hour, and, strange to say they
were not pulled once for exceed
ing the speed limit.
The old ship is due to sail on
the first day of May, and all of
our subscribers who do not have
a a or a 5 on their label, will be
welcome to join the party; those
who have a z on the tab will
have reserved seats, and those
who have an "S" will be enti-
tied to Pullman service.
Yes there is plenty of time to
have your label changed before
that time, but do not delay too
long.
