INK SUPPLY HERE ENOUGH
 TO LAST SEVERAL YEAR

New York, April 14-Reportsl of a threatened shortage of ink. which gave some hope of furnishing another excuse for not writing letters, were denied by w. s. Stafford, of the s. s. Sanford Go. Inc. The supply in this country he said, was sufficient to last several years more. By that time the war will be over, and it will be possible to import the acid blue which is necessary to the manufacture of blue writing-1uid.
 Increase in the price of ink which has occurred twice since the war be- gan, has been due, said MT. Stafford, to increase in the price of labor and of certain raw materials. Roughly the increase has been from price of
 $1O per dozen of quart bottles of writ fng-hufd to SIS per dozen. The in- crease to the consumer has amounted to between 60 and 75 cents a, quart.
 "eWe were able to cover ourselves on co1ors after the outbreak of the war; MT. Stafford said, "'and our sup ply is sufficient to last for several
 writing-ink consists of nutga1ls and
 ferrous suIphate. Nutga11s are ob- tained from Turkey, but Chinese gals can be substituted and ferrous su1- phate always can be obtained. 'Ink is colored with German dye l 1 with acid blue which formerly was shipped from Germany. Since the
 war began not pound of this acid blue has been made in this country. It cannot be manufactured in this | country, because the raw materials
 cannot be obtained. Other colors \ cannot be substituted, because they precipitate insoluble compounds in 1 the ink.
 | Many American manufacturers I have plants admirably equipped to 1 manufacture these co1ors, but they are unable to obtain rosani1ine, which I is necessary. The blue in question, l acid blue, which sold before the war
 at from 60 cents to $1.5o, depending l upon the strength. now sells at $65 8 1 pound.
 We have now a contract for ] methy1ine blue at $6 a pound which l formerly we were able to get for be- l glad to have it at the present price. The American color manufacturer makes a. contract for one or two or
 three years for his total output when I he puts up a plant, and he expects the contract to repay him for the plant ,and, in fact, for the entire in- | veStment, by the time 1t is filled. do not blame him at all, for he has | no assurance of protection after the l war. and he must cover himself. l Another thing which makes for the
 scarcity of raw materials is their use l in the manufacture of munitions of | war. Many of the substances used in the manufacture of dyes are used | for explosives and other war SUD- 1 plies"
 The fear that ink would be raised in price or become so scarce to be
 almost unobtainab1e has frightened stationers who, for the last few months, have been laying in large stocks of ink. They have been an Il ticipating their requirements for two and three months in advance, said MT Stafford. fearing that the increase in the price of paper, blank books, copy
 ing pencils, especially. and other sta-
 tioners' supplies would be repeated on i ink.

Farmers Institute.

AS announced last week, Farm
ers Institutes will be held Janu-
ary 18th and 10Th at Rehoboth
M. E. church, and in the Clear
Ridge M. E. church January 10Th
and 21st. In addition to what
was said in the News last week
Chairman Frank Ranck states
that the subject of County Agent
would be considered at some of
the sessions. We are glad of it.
The NEWS has been spokesman
on this subject for some of the
progressive farmers of Fulton
county for more than a year. We
did the best we could. Still,
hundreds do not seem to under
stand the movement. We fully
believe that abundant fruits of
our Institutes will not appear un-
til the Farm Extension Depart
ment is permitted to keep an
Agent permanently in the Coun-
ty. 1t will then be more like one
continuous institute. We hope
that when we secure an Agent,
he will be a lover of good homes,
and that he will have been train
ed to understand that merely liv-N
ing for the sake of making mon
ey is a low ideal, and that he
will Immediately set about to
guide the young people to realize
that there are ways of making
as nice homes and as good living
here as they think they see at
the far end of the rainbow.

EDITOR PEcK;-The great
strike now on among the laborers
of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company and those of the Youngs
town Sheet and Tube Company
together numbering about 27, 900
men, started over a demand of
some of the Tube Mill laborers
for a raise of wages from 19t
cents to 25 cents an hour, which
was refused by the employers.
The dissatisfied men walked out,
and by force, compelled many
more to quit work. Some of the
Sheet and Tube Mills men re-
mained in the mills, and when
they tried to escape, they were
fired upon by the strikers and a
general riot followed in which
dozens of onlookers, policemen,
and strikers were killed, several
buildings dynamited, many set
on fire, and the firemen beaten
back and prevented from extin-
gushing the flames. Stores were
looted, saloons broken into, and
beer and whisky rolled into the
streets and consumed by the mob

EFFICIENCY OF GRANGE WORK.
Clear Cut Expressions from the Pen Of

en-, Washington.

DEAR Mr.. PECK:-Herewith
you will find a money order for
one dollar to cover my subscrip-
tion to the NEWS to December l,
1916. Can't get along without
the news from dear Little Full
ton."
My husband and | read with
much interest the editorial which
appeared in your paper of De-
cember 30th, entitled, Business
Men VS.. Farmers" written by ].
d. Ream, Master of the State
Grange of Nebraska. Our
Grange, Van Wyck, No. 217, or
ganized in 1908, is greatly inter-
ested in the Rural Credits and
Natioual Marketing issues. Aft
er a careful study of the various
plans of Rural Credits, we de-
cided in favor of the Louck's
plan, considering it most practi-
cable and best suited to our con-
ditions. c. B. Kegley, Master
of our State Grange, is the Pres
ident of the Rural Credit League
of America.
Every rural mail box in our
country is a monument to the
efficiency of Grange work; for it
was theconstant pressure brought
to bear upon Congress by the
National Grange and the thous-
ands of its members, that brought
this just piece of legislation to
the farmer. To the Grange are
we also indebted for our Parcels
Post law; and we are confident
of a right settlement of the
Rural Credits and National Mar
keting questions, which means
financial freedom and square
dealing in selling.

will You Have Sale?

Are you going to have a sale
this spring?
If so it's time to begin to plan
for it.
First thing is to select your
date. See to it that nobody in
your neighborhood has a sale on
that day; that court week. which
begins on the third Monday in
March, does not interfere; and
see your auctioneer, whether he
is open for that date. Having
done this, notify the Fulton
County News to place your sale
in its register. 1t will stai-@'n-
til the day of sale and will not
cost you anything if the News
prints your bills.
Why put it in the News?
Well, it's like this: If you Sc
lect a date for your sale and do
not let anybody know it, there
will not be any bidders at your
sale.
The more bidders you get to
your sale, the more money you
will get for your property. It's
a very easy matter to lose from
so to 500 dollars by not having
the sale well advertised.
That's reasonable.
Well, then. The NEWS goes
into twice as many homes in Full
ton County as any other news
paper.
Yes; we can prove it.
Then, our bills. Do you see
any others that are printed on
better paper, or any more at
tractive?
Come to the NEWS Office for
your sale advertising.

Mort's close calls. Here are a
few more of them: A few years
ago while cutting ice on the Mad
densville dam, he broke through
and fell into about nine feet of
water when he unwittingly STEP
ped on thin ice frozen over a hole
made the day before. His COM
panions, Eli Ferrenburg and Rob
ert Ramsey, were at the bank at
the time. Ferrenberg saw Mort
go down and began to yell. Ram
sey reached the drowning man
first and found him holding to
the edge of the ice and swinging
under the 16-inch covering of the
dam. Siezing Mort by the arm
Ramsey held him until Ferren-
berg arrived and, together they
pulled the unfortunate man out
in an exhausted condition. When
asked if he touched bottom Mort
replied Il wasn't hunting bot

At another time, Mr.. Mort was
going home from Hustontown at
night. The colt he was driving
frightened at some calves in
Henry Wilson's field, wheeled
short in the road, and took to
the woods despite all he could do
to hold it. AS the horse turned
into the road again the buggy
was upset and the driver pinned
under and dragged some dis
tance. Fortunately the harness
gave way and the animal was re-
leased from the buggy and start
ed alone to its home. Mr.. Will
son saw the running colt and
took the back track in search of
the driver. He found him lying
at the side of the road badly
bruised and sprained, but no
bones broken.
During a recent winter when
the earth was covered with a SOL
id sheet of ice, and water had to
be carried by hand to some cal
YES, Mr.. Mort got tired of the
job and busted a path over the
ice to the water. Soon after
turning the calves out he heard
a racket at the barn and with
the aid of a stout stick from the
woodpile, he started to investi-
gate. Very soon his feet and the
ice parted company and Mr..
Mort proceeded at greatly in
creased speed head foremost
down hill until a stone reversed
him, and his feet led the way at
a speed that beat Jersey light
ming. so rods down the hill a
patch of,green briers stopped the |

the top of the hill again when

on the second trip, at another

badly that Mr.. Wilson was called |
