 While paying his respects to the dance the preacher didn t miss the social game of cards as the real origin and incubator of the legion of gamblers. Christian women fail to realize when they handle the innocent looking deck of cards that they are handling that which is known the world over as the GAMBLERS devise.

 < Martin Luther, only a single man, stood with his conscience, writing his Ninety Five Thesis against Roman Indulgences, and facing death, while every home was closed to him, but from his stand the Protestant Churches had their birth.
 Said he, These are some of the little things which we re- spect because of their greatness today, but yet there are little things right here in Brinkley which we as christians can correct and thereby wield the

 The church of God tho 1t be a little building represents the biggest thing a Community of a nation. We as individual mem- bers of the church fail to honor God by our acts it may be a little thing but we are thereby robbing ourselves of the greatest blessing and our homes of their purest protection.
 At the conclusing of Pastor Evans remarks a man arose Tn the audience and said he wished to bear witness to the truth of every word the Preacher has said about the little things" i and their influence on a life. He said his name was Strong and that he had just finished sen tence in the US. Penitentiary at Ft. Leavensworth for blowing post office safe, that he went to the bad thro' the gambling in fuence, but that thro the Love of God his life had been changed, etc. The man spoke for several minutes and was heard wltf much interest.

BRINKLEY BUSINESS MEN, ATTENTION

On next Friday, Feb. 18th. on the same day that the special train. "The Beef, Bacon and Butter special" comes to Brink ley to demonstrate to the farmers of this section the 'real thing" in the cattle, hog and dairy busl- ness would be the finest kind of a time for the land owners and farmers of the north end to settle the matter of planting a better grade of cotton seed than they have been planting.
 The folly of planting the same low grade of seed which has so deteriorted that the cotton sold in BrinkIey has no classification rate but is sold in one common 'dogtail grade, 7 at several cents less than it ought to, is known to everybody.
 This alone is costing Brinkley business men many thousands of dollars and it would be quite easy if the merchants, gins and land owners would get together on the 18th., ann lay a plan to get in new seed for planting that Brinkley as cotton market will not be the joke it has been for several seasons past.

Auto Accident.

Among the many auto acci-
dents of almost daily occurrence
on the mountains inside the Coun-
ty limits, was one on Wednesday
evening of last week, on Betz
Hill, just below the road leading
to the Hoop Reunion Grounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul N. Furman
and little girl, of Harrisburg,
took flying (literally) leap off
the pike twenty feet into the
we'll known ravine at that point.
The big Hudson, 7 passenger car
landed on "all fours" below.
One front wheel was broken.
The occupants were pretty badly
shocked by the terrific force with
wich the car struck the ground.
Mrs. Furman was unable to walk
when, later in the evening, they
were brought to town, and she
was Immediately put to bed in
the Fulton House. At $3.50 that
evening, Max Sheets took the
Furmans to Chambersburg where
they took train for Harrisburg.
Exact cause of accident unknown.

Family Reunion.

The following account of a fam
lily reunion was taken from a
Milledgeville, Carroll County, Ill
inois paper of August 10th, and
the reunion took place on the
following Sunday.
The presence in the community
of Andrew Washabaugh and fam
lily was the occasion of a family
reunion at Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Glenn's Sunday. The Washa-
baugh's are from McConnells-
burg, Pa, and the party cousins
of Mr.. and Mrs. Washabaugh,
Master David and Miss Helen
and Mr.. Harry Snyder. They
headed their big Overland toward
the Keystone state Tuesday, and
expect to reach home Saturday.
Their route lies mostly along the
Lincoln Highway.
After the sumptuous dinner
Photographer Sunderland came
and took a picture of the group.
The following individuals and
families were present: Andrew
Washabaugh and family and Mr..
Harry Snyder, of McConnells-
burg, Pa, John Hart and family
of Rock Falls, George Doyle and
family and Mrs. Jennie Houck
and son Frank, of Lanark; Chas.
Mock and family, A. Reecher

The Paralysis Scare.

Infantile paralysis is, perhaps,
not killing as many children as
die every week from other more
common diseases, but, like small
pox, the disease is loathsome be-
cause it nearly always leaves the
victims cripples. The disease
seems to be spreading in Pennsyl
vania and surrounding state S
east of US, and last week the
State Board of Health notified To-
cal officers that no children un-
der 16 years of age should be
permitted to attend schools or
meetings of any kind for the
present. kilograms were sent
from Harrisburg to DR.. Mosser
and to other health officers to en-
force the law at meetings in Full
ton county. 1t was very unfor-
tunate that the order for Hoops
Grove did not come several days
sooner, for much trouble would
have been saved had the people
known of the order before start
ing for the reunion with their
children. Local officers had moth
ing to do except to obey and car
ry out the order of the State
Board of Health. We think it
would be very wise on the part
of parents to heartily concur in
all efforts being made to stamp
out the disease. Following are
three rules laid down by medical
experts to prevent infantile paral-
ysis.
Keep the bodies of yourself
and children clean. Keep the
living rooms and premises clean,
and use clean, well cooked foods.
The trouble begins in the bowels
or in the digestive canals, and
green fruits should be strictly
guarded against. Special atten-
ton is being called to contamina-
ton of foods by flies that come
in from the privies and other dir
ty places with Chunks" of the
dirt on their feet, and permitted
to crawl over food. In other
words, obey the laws of health,
and as DIR. Dixon says when
the germs find you, you will be
fortified against their attacks" "

Fine Pictures.

Last fall, moving pictures of a
forest fire were taken in the
South Mountain in Franklin coun-
ty, and they will soon be shown
in the play houses. Some remark
able scenes will we shown, such
as fire running over the tops of
trees, deer running ahead of the
flames, narrow escapes of men
fighting the fire, &c. The pic
lures will be used by the State
Forestry Department to educate
the public in the interest of for
est conservation. The pictures
have been named "The Curse of
the Forests. No doubt they will
be shown in Chambersburg be-
fore long.

Last Lawn Services.

The last lawn service for this
season was held on the Court
House lawn last Sabbath evening.
Rev. Edward Jackson preached
a very able sermon, holding his
audience interested until it was
too dark to see faces. When
weather permits, there is some
thing fascinating about listening
to good sermon delivered in the
darkness. The Gospel was deliv-
cred to us chiefly in open air
meetings, and we have no doubt
that the Disciples received many
a truth while their Master rested
out under the trees at night.
When these lawn services extend
ed into'the darkness of the even
ing, itrequired but a little imagi-
nation to picture the original
lawn services of Christ and his
followers while he was physically
on earth, teaching the universal
brotherhood of Man.

Underwent Operations.

About ten days ago. Mr.. C. H.
Mann, of Vineland, N. j., was
taken to the Jefferson Hospital
in Philadelphia for treatment for
stone in the bladder. Latter part
of last week Mr.. Mann under
went a successful operation, a
large stone having been removed.
A card from Mrs. Mann, received
Monday, states that he is recov-
ering nicely. 1t will be remem-
bered that about two years ago,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mann left Saluvia,
and located at st. Cloud, Florida.
He was unable to withstand the
hot climate, and lay dangerously
sick for many months, finally re-
moving to Vineland, New Jersey,
last spring. AT present, Mrs.
Mann is stopping with Mrs. A. j..

No Bread Famine.

One of Job Truax's friends is
responsible for the story that one
day last week, ne was panic
stricken for fear Of a bread famine
at his home in Belfast township.
Saturday evening, too late to bake
bread, and too far from the bake
shop to get some, a crowd Of
friends dropped in" at this
hospitable home, and they looked
so hungry after their long walk
that Jobs cry to his wife was
How is our stock of bread?
Look who is coming!" The par
ties who were responsible for the
excitement were Jobs nephew
and niece, Dwight Mason and
wife, and their two children; Mr..
and Mrs. - Weaver; Newton
Peck and his daughter Ethel, of
Republic, Ohio, and David Greg
ory and family, of lower Thomp-
son township, all of whom re-
NAMED until next day.

Field Selection Of Seed Corn.

The best time to select seed
corn is in the field just before it
is cut. Selection should be made
by going through the field and
choosing the best ears from
stalks having desirable charac-
ters.
According to an authority at
The Pennsylvania State College,
these stalks should be of moder-
ate size, should have good leaf
surface and should carry the, ear
at moderate height from the
ground. The ears should droop
rather than hang erect and it
should be born on a rather short
shank. The husks should be
long enough to cover the tips of
the ears.
The best ears from areas not
especially favored in fertility or
moisture, should be chosen. The
best ears from such areas, in
which conditions are only ordi-
nary, are as good for seed as the
best ears from the most favored
parts of the field. Differences in
the natural vigor of plants, also
are more easily seen where the
growing conditions are not too
favorable.
1t has been estimated that a
really well preserved bushel of
seed corn may be worth twenty
five dollars more in its producing
power than bushel selected
from the crib in the spring since
it may easily give ten bushels
more per acre in the crop it pro-
duces.

Just as individuals grow bald
with age, this great country of
our is growing 'bald" of its nat
ural covering for our mountains
and hill sides, namely, useful
timber. Unless proper steps are
taken to preserve and propagate
timber, it will be but a short time
until it will all be cut. And un-
I'll men educated in forestry are
put in charge of all unused lands,
timber will not be restored by
natural means.

Soldiers Reunion.

The Annual Reunion of the
War Veterans of Fulton County
was held in Hoops Grove last
Friday. The day was ideal, and
a large crowd was in attendance.
Had it not been for the order of
the State Health Commissioner
prohibiting the attendance Of all
children under the age of 16
years on account of the epidemic
Of pyomyelits, there would doubt
less have been the largest at
endance in the history of the
organization.
George A. Harris, a native of
The township, and now a candi-
late for Congress in the 18th
District Pa, made the address of
Welcome, and the response was
yiven by Conrad M. D. Barndol-
lar, of Everett. These addresses
we're made in the forenoon. In
the afternoon, addresses were
made by DR.. Enfield, postmaster
at Bedford; DIR. ]. R. Dalling,
pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Everett, and w. C. Patterson,
a progressive farmer of Ayr
township.
The annual election of officers
Of the Association took place with
the following result: President,
John Ham; B. Frank Shives,
vice president; S. B. Woollet,
Quartermaster, and Rev. Henry
Wolf, chaplain.
The Oak Glen Band furnished
the music for the day. The Band
is not large, but it does the work
all right.
