Value Of Walking.

There is hardly an instance of
a long-lived man or woman, who
has not been for the best part of
his or her life a brisk walker and
for some reason or other has had
to take exercise pretty well every
day.
Riding is all very well and so
are other exercises, but there is
nothing like a good walk, because
it stimulates the blood and the
muscles and necessitates being
in the open. If those who COM
plain of being stout would only
think of this and never omit a
daily constitutional, they would
be amply rewarded. twill keep
them young and their figures
presentable. 1t is simply a rem
edy that few heed.

Employers Liability.

The question of whether or not
farmers are liable for accidents
which may befall those persons
employed by them in the per-
formance of general farm labor
will likely be settled in the case
of George Cooper who lost his
life in the harvest field at Scott
Tritle's Monday. tits contended
by many that the law does not
apply to farmers. If so the fam
lily of the deceased will not be
paid any damage. Mr.. Tritle,
however, did not take any chanc-
es, and he is carrying the neces-
sary protection.

In His Eighty-Sixth.

Our friend Uncle Sam" Ben
der came into the Office one day
last week to push his subscrip-
tion ahead another year. He is
a veteran of the Civil War, and
is IN his Seth years. He feels
fairly we'll and his mind is clear,
but he does not get down town
very frequently. While he did
not spend as many months in the
army as many others, he saw
much of the real thing. Being a
drafted man, he was thrown di-
rectly into an old regiment (the
Tooth Regiment Pennsylvania In
fantry) and sent right to the
front. He was in the thickest of
the fights around Petersburg and
Richmond, and was only a short
distance away from AppamattoX
the day Lee surrendered.

Didn't Want Boys.

Last week, D. E. Fore who re-
Gently celebrated his Goth ami
versary, determined to help in
the 1916 harvest fields just to
keep in practice. He offered his
service as driver of the reaper to
a neighbor close by, but it seems
the Boss" didn't want boys in
the field and very firmly refused
to grant Mr.. Fore's request. But
like many other ambitious young
fellows, Daniel made up his mind
that he will not take mo" for
answer, and he will try again
this time when hayraking time
comes, after wheat harvest. We
have always been in favor Of CIV
ing the boys a chance on the
farm, it tends to keep them at
home.

Car Turned Turtle.

On July 4th, VIM. H. Morgan,
wife and three daughters, of
Fellowsville, W. Va, were driv-
ing on Sideling Hill mountain
when the car skidded on the oiled
road and turned turtle. Mrs.
Morgan had a rib fractured and
one OF the little girls was badly
hurt about Ter left shoulder.
They were without aid for half
an hour, during which time some
of the party were pinned under
the car. When released, they
were taken to Everett for treat
ment at DR.. Nycum's office.

Robbed by GypSieS.

One day last week, while Wayne
Taylor was at work in the rear
of his confection stand at Val
mont Park, on the west side of
Cove mountain, a Gypsy woman
tapped his till, stealing several
dollars in cash. Wayne heard
the auto stop, but as he heard no
footsteps on the floor above him,
he supposed they were taking
water-an hourly occurrence at
the Park. However, he came to
the front in time to see the wo-
man tip-toe away and enter the
auto which at once hurried away.
Wayne turned to the stand but
did not at once notice anything
wrong. He then opened the till
and discovered his loss. By that
time, the machine was out of
sight, free from capture.
There has not been a summer
passed for many years that COM
plant of robberies by Gypsies
has not reached this Office. Not
withstanding the law that would
forever rid US of these pests,
they are again and again permit
ted to camp in the County. Bur-
CESS Seylar chased them out of
town twice, but they seemed to
be aware that they will not be
disturbed on the outlying dis
tricts. They are a bad set. But
until they are made to under
stand that $50 camp fee will be
collected by law, we will be SUBJ
ject to their depredations.

Reunion Of FultOn.--OhiO People.

OeNeHLeeil years ago, dUOuI q
score of former Fulton county
people who then lived in North
ern Ohio met and formed an as
sociation for purely social inter-
course. Since then, they have
annually met at some point con-
venient for the majority. The
association has grown until it now
numbers nearly one hundred.
This year, they met at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Rice, of
Tiffin, Ohio. The weather being
bad, only about forty members
were present, but other guests
swelled the number in attend
ance to about seventy-fve. How
ever, the rain ceased in time to
dry off the grass by noon and a
sumptuous dinner was served.
Our friends out there have not
forgotten their eastern piety, for
we are told that when all were
seated at the dinner table, the
Doxology was sung and Mr.. Ohler
led in an appropriate prayer. Un-
like many Oklahoma brethren,
our Ohio friends eat chicken
plenty of it-along with other
good things.
The formal exercises of the
afternoon were opened by Presi-
dent Charles Funk, followed by
an address of welcome by Gilbert
Rice. Several appropriate selec-
tions were sung by the party.
Mrs. Della Garland gave a reci-
tation, Mrs. Ross Hixon sang a
solo, and the following made ad-
dresses: Henry Detterman, Eph-
rain Mellott, Mr.. Shaw, e. C.
Brundage, H. A. Ohler, Thomas
Truax, and others, all being thor
oughly enjoyed.
This Association has decided to
make a new list of members be-
fore the next reunion, each fami-
ly being requested to send names
to the Secretary, Mr.. Gilbert
Garland. Present officers of the
Association were reelected and
the following committee of ar
rangements appointed: Mrs.
Della Garland, Miss Ethel Peck
and Mrs. Calvin Keefer. Mr..
Walter Shaw and family, of Big
Cove Tannery, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas 'Truax, of Sharpe, were
Fulton county guests at the Re-
union this year. Next Reunion
will be held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs William Spade, Tiff
fin, Ohio, on the second Saturday
of June, 1917, to which all will
look forward in anticipation of
another day of unalloyed pleas
ure.

lNFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Infantile Paralysis is a disease
that affects the nervous system.
1t often causes death, and again
the acute stage frequently SUBJ
sides and leaves paralysis of one
or more of the limbs that hereto
fore has often lasted on through
life.
Today we do not know what
causes the disease, therefore pre-
ventiye measures must be broad.
You must keep the children away
from insect life, such as flies,
mosquitoes, fleas, bed bugs, ants
ticks, lice, etc. You should see
that all rats and mice around the
building are killed. Pet cats and
dogs should be washed with a
two per cent carbolic acid solu-
ton to destroy insect life. Ev-
erything should be kept clean
about the home, including the
children's bodies and clothing.
Children should be fed well
but not INDUCED in large guam
titles of water, ice cream or 9TH
er frozen dishes on a full stom-
ach, as that will often cause
acute indigestion and render on
them susceptible to other diseas-
es. In other words, the diges-
ton should be guarded carefully.
Children should have plenty of
sleep. They should not associate
with other children that are sick.
Their homes should be well ven-
tilated but screened from flies,
etc., and any flies that happen
to enter the building should be
killed. All foodstuffs should be
protected from flies, dust, etc.
Fruit and vegetables eaten raw
should be thoroughly washed in
clean water.
Children's mouths should be
rinsed out and their throats gar
gled with Dobell's solution after
each meal. If the children are
too young to rinse or gargle,
wash the mouth with piece of
fabric, muslin or linen, that has
been dipped in Dobell's solution.
Children should be kept out of
crowded places and be denied the
frequent access to crowded halls
of entertainment during our pres
ent threat with epidemic.
The youngsters should not be
permitted to sit on the damp
ground nor have their bodies
thoroughly chilled, day or night.
They should not bathe in cold
water until their circulation is
interfered with and they become

Why Not Drill?

Why not have a Fulton County
Company of drilled men who
would offer themselves in case of
emergency, or in case call is
made for volunteers? The cost
need be nothing. We have men
in the county who are capable Of
drilling others in the manual of
arms. The discipline would be
good for any young man. He
need not go to the army" to
reap the benefits of his training
if not needed there. 1t would
bring to the surface traits that
would develop him for leadership
in local affairs. 1t would develop
qualities that would help him to
be more successful in his calling.
And then just to think how his
best girl would snuggle up to her
Soldier boyl" We feel sure
there are many young men in the
County who would avail them
selver Of an opportunity to drill.
The United States government
is offering to furnish guns and
ammunition to just such groups
of men.

The Farm Loan

Recurring to the question why
cannot the farmer secure his loan at
the bank" let US see what kind of .
loan he usually requires. If it il for
the purpose of running through the
season until his crop is made. or to hold
a crop for favorable market conditions.
or to handle stock through the feeding
season, the loan may be considered as
in the short term class. If it Is to be
used for the purpose Of land, the supply
ing of the farm with blooded stock or
for expensive machinery the loan must
be for q longer time. Now, the farm
ers source Of income from which he
must pay the debt is limited to his
farming operations. Reserving out of
the normal returns of his farm the keep
of himself and his family and fair
amount for upkeep, any remainder
that may be left may be safely depen-
ded upon to pay off the loan. If he
pledges himself to pay more than this
he must lower his standard of living.
or to allow his farm to run down, or.
finally must fail to meet his obligations.
It 10, therefore, necessary for the
farmer TO borrow, on the average, on
short term loans for . period Of not less
than one yesr, and on long term loans
for periods of from 10 to Is years to
periods Of 26 or even 40 years. 1t is inn
portant that the money for the loan be
easily procurable and with a. little bur-
den Of fees for commissions, examin-
alton and legal services as possible.
The greater portion Of money loaned
by banks ID money which they hold on
deposit and which they must be ready.
on short notice, to return to their de-
positors il it is called for. 1t is very
evident that they cannot consider the
Iong-term loans above described, and,
as they are handling the money Of other
people, they must exercise the greatest
care in the inspection of the security
offered, thus adding to the expense Of
the loan.
Chattel security II too perishable =
nature to permit Of being used with .
bank loan. This brief statement
shows, l believe, the principal reason
why the farmers and the banks cannot
hope to get together in the loan
business. &C. F. Davis, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.

WANT BUSINESS OPEN OR
SUBJECT TO REGULATION
d. C, Heads Recommend Senate Bill
for Supervision Of Local Fire
Insurance Rating.

The supervision Of the operation of fire
insurance rate-making bureaus in the
District of Columbia is favored by the
District Commissioners. who today rec
commended the passage of the Senate bill
providing for such supervision. The bill
also is favored by the national conven-
ton of insurance commissioners.
The Commissioners maintain that pub
lie interest demands that the business OF
insurance be conducted either openly in
connection as to rates and the rates
themselves to be subjected to state control
and regulation. They state that the fire
insurance business is not conducted on a
competitive basis in the District at pres
ent, all companies adhering to common
schedule.
The Senate bill provides a method for
bringing rate-making bodies under de-
partmental supervision and control and
allows for the fullest possible competition
in rate-making. The commissioners hold
that, in practice. competition or rate cut
ting leads, in the absence of definite
schedules Of rates, to gross discrimina-
ton and favoritism between the risks of
different owners. although Of like or
Identical character. and that there is
greater complaint against discrimination
than any other practice.
