Like a Letter From Home

We often have thought that
we would like to be able, finan-
cially, to send a copy of this
paper each week to all who were
born here or who made this town
their home for any number of
years and afterward moved
away. Not that we think our
modest effort worthy of a world
wide circulation but it is, to
hundreds, and perhaps thousands
the old Home Paper. No one
who has not moved far away
from birthplace, from home or
old friends can understand what
it means to hear regularly from
the old place. Of course moth
ing can take the place of the
regular letter, but the newspaper
tells more than any letter and it
arrives regularly. The letter
from home gives the family
news and perhaps the main
events of the neighborhood news.
But the weekly paper supple
ments this any old-homer can
read between the lines and dig
out lots of news that has not
been put in type. We think of
these things every time some
rather or mother comes into the
Office to pay a subscription for a
son or daughter in the city or
when some one who once lived
there sends us a check for a
years subscription. But we
have not yet arrived at the point
where we can add several hum
bred names to our list in a phil
anthropic spirit, so the best we
can do is to depend upon the old
folks at home to send the papers
to the wanderers.

Why Some Towns
Lack Leaders

To grow big a small town must
have its leader and it takes q
strong man to be a leader, even
in a small town. Lots of fellows
think they are leaders, but they
never lead because they can't
stand the gaf. At the call of
civic pride a fellow will grid on
his armour and rush headlong to
the fray ready to do or die. And
usually he dies before he does.
At the first sign of opposition
his courage peters out. He new
err dreamed that he would not be
received with open arms and his
plans at once approved and en-
braced. He can battle only
when the band is playing, the
banners waving and the foe in
full flight. He wants applause,
the glad hand. three rousing
cheers. He doesn't get them, so
he quits. He goes home, hangs
up his armour in the clothespress
in Mary's room and LET'S the 9TH
er fellow fight the fight.
And lucky we are if there is
another fellow. If such there
be he is some chap who under
stands that for a long time the
principal reward of his labor will
be his labor. He does not ex-
pect a pat on the back nor a
cherry good work-old man"
He knows that some men will
give him questioning glance
and a neutrality-suspicious.
line of talk. If this leader
would quit, the town would
gather moss and grass would
spring up in the streets. But ne
doesn't quit.
The real leader must first
grow a rhinoceros hide, proof
against the sings and arrows of
the Stacker. He must expect
backcapping and grow to like it.
He must learn that the harder
the knock the bigger the boost.
He must be go-getter, with
ears deaf to the sarcasms of the
fellows with the shiny bosoms on
their trousers. And he will get
his reward in the consciousness
of deeds well done and in the
realization that his town is pros
pering and that he is prospecting
with it.

A Dinner From the Skies

A woman over in Clay county
states that while chopping kind
ling the other day, "a big chunk
of meat" as she put it, fell
right out of the sky, landing not
five feet from me-" That it was
really meat is vouched for by the
actions of the family dog, which
running up, shifted at the celes-
tial visitor, and then satisfied
that it was meant for him, seized
it in his teeth and started away.
By this time the woman had re-
covered from her surprise. She
called Rover back and deprieved
him of his heaven-sent dinner.
She looked aloft long and earn
estly but could see nothing.
THE mystery is yet unsolved,"
says the correspondent. But is
it a mystery? Certainly not.
That hunk of meat which
came hurting through the air
was all that was left of one of
the workmen who had been en-
ployed in an ammunition or pow
der factory, back east. The
whole Atlantic coast is lined
with such factories. Everyday
we read of another twenty mil
lion contract for ammunition
being let. And every time one
is let, up springs a fellow suffer
ing from pro-something or labor
ing under an anti-some-other-
thing, and this fellow merrily
fiips a bomb into the recently-en-
riched factory and the stuff is
off. They tell us that down east
an explosion shakes the earth
every seventeen minutes. The
people have gotten so used to
blow-ups that they have stopped
saying there goes another
one The supply of labor is
running short. Even the most
willing Wop or the huskiest
Hunk will become discouraged
after he has been shredded over
seventy counties a few times.
Forty three coroners have died
of overwork and juries are serv-
ing in three eight-hour shifts
per day. The Atlantic coast
states are all mussed up with re-
mains. Incoming steamers re-
port that long before they come
in sight of shore the greenest
passengers know that they are
approaching the land of the free

cause the western horizon is
darkened with rising and falling
powder mill employees and am
munition workers. But the ex-
plosion which drove that hunk of
Hunk away out here, to fall at
the feet of the Clay county wom-
en- and nearly provide Rover
with the makings of a goulash-
must have been SOME let-go!

The LincOIn...Penn Way.

The above title is suggested by
one Of our local motorists to be
applied to a cross-country boule-
ward to connect the Lincoln High
way at McConnellsburg with the
William Penn Highway at Mount
Union. This is the only practical
BILE country route between
Harrisburg and Johnstown. 1t
would pass through Shirleysburg,
Orbisonia, Shade Gap, Burnt Cab
ins, Fort Littleton, and Knobs
vile. The grade is exceptional
ly fine and the distance only
forty miles. 1t would at once
become a thorofare for tourists
from the northern and western
part of the State to reach Get

Why Hens Don't Law.

Why don't hens lay at this time
of the year?
They do, if their owner is on
to his job. 1t is about as natural
for hen to lay in the fall and
winter as it is for roses to bloom
at the same season.
But the expertpoultrymannow-
a-days with his modern methods
of breeding, of feeding, of hous-
ing and of handling has his hens
to lay two hundred or more eggs
per year and to lay a goodly num-
ber of these in the fall and win
ter.
Can an ordinary farmer or
small poultry keeper get a good
fall and winter yield of eggs?
He can if he will have prop
erly built house mot meaning an
expensive one, but a house that
poultry use and live in and can't
be kept out Of.
He can if he will feed the mod
ern way or feed all grain in lit
ters; feed bee-scraps, fish scraps
or milk animal protein-h heavily
feed dry mashes and perhaps wet
mashes.
Question like the above ars
now flooding the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture and
the replies are broadly like the
above.
Notwithstanding feature of most
of these letters is the fact that
these writer's manifestly believe
that if they can learn what to
feed their hens, they must lay.
That feed, good feed, or plenty
of feed, will make hens lay is
great if popular fallacy.-
The Department wishes to
especially emphasize that fecun-
dity and persistency in laying
are inherited factors and that US
ually, If a flock is to lay well it
must be out of a flock ahead of
it that has laid we'll. And that
this is the factor that means the
difference between hens not lay
ing at all and laying well at this
season.

NUMBER II
yENTILATORS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

The question of proper ventiIa-
tion during the winter months
is one which it is quite difficult
for many people to solve.
1t is apparent to almost every
body that the admission of pure
air is necessary if efficient work
is to be performed in office and
school and if refreshing sleep is
desired by night. The fresh air
does not depend upon the tenn
perature and can be supplied by
proper heating and ventilating
system.
The opening of windows while
it admits the fresh air, often
causes drafts which are uncom-
Portable, not to say injurious.
Where a number of people are
occupied in room it is often a
cause of subjecting one or two to
exposure if the windows are
opened to secure ventilation.
This can be avoided by an ample
supply of warmed air.
Numerous devices, more or
less expensive, have been placed
on the market but are not always
satisfactory. The most econom-
ical and at the same time prob
ably the most efficient ventilat-
ing device is one made of glass
or wood eight or ten inches in
height and made the width of
the sash. This should be placed
under the sash with a slant from
the bottom to the top at an angle
of 45 degrees, leaving an open
ing at the top covered with
cheese cloth.
Ventilators of this sort are so
simple that they can be made at
small cost anywhere and the COW
ering can be readily replaced.
They are suitable for office and
school room, living rooms and
bed rooms. They permitreason-
able ventilation without too great
a loss of heat and prevent that
stuffiness of atmosphere which is
dangerous to health and destruc-
tive to real comfort during the
winter months. This device
leaves an opening between the
upper and lower sash through
which the used air of the room
may escape.

Struck Her Head Against Table.

In addition to the notice given
in the NEWS last week, the Bed
ford Gazette gives the following
additional information in refer
ence to the death of Mrs. George
Carbaugh Mora Ritchey) in
Bedford last week. Tripping
over a rug in the sitting room of
her home on Thomas street, Mon
day morning, Mrs. George Car
baugh fell, striking the back Of
her head against a table, infict-
ing a wound which caused her
death a few moments later.
Mrs. Carbaugh had not been well
for several weeks and it is
thought by her physician that
she was seized with an attack of
heart trouble, causing the fall.
She was aged about rs years and
was Miss Nora Ritchey, of near
Everett. before her marriage a
few years ago to George Car
baugh, a well known young
liveryman of this place. Besides
her husband and a small son
Harold, she is survived by her
mother.
