| the Sound. 1t Is a fine breeze one
gets at most any day of the year,
when aboard that electric line that
runs along the very waters edge.
The golf links, a few miles east of
Gulfport, are an attraction on this
line; also the Military Academy and
beautiful Beauvoir, that was once the
home of Jefferson Davis, and which
is now harbor for the Confederate
Veterans of the South.
If, while sojourning at Gulfport,
you are weary of golfing or boating,
why then in the moonlit nights or
dark nights you can go searching for
"fiounders"-when the tide is out. 1t
is picturesque sight to see men
and women, who live along the shore
who often at night are thus engaged.
By the aid of the light of their
torches they enjoy this sport No
doubt many find it an economic
pastime. -. 1850

Auto Express Lines.

The NEWS told its readers some
time ago that an Akron, Ohio,
rubber company was using a big
five-ton autotruck to haul tires to
Boston and bring back the woven
fabric used in making tires. The
truck was equipped with ten
inch pneumatic tires. This COM
pany now has four of the mon.
sters on the Akron-Bo ex-
press line, and next trip there
will be five. They will have six
before long. The round trip can
be made In seven days.
Five years ago we predicted
autotruck service for all points
In Fulton county, and 1t will be
but q short time before autotrucks
will receive all the lumber and
other freight at McConnellsburg
and convey 1t to the railroad ex-
actly as the defunct McConnells-
burg and Fort Loudon railroad
was expected to do. Indeed. the
time is ripe for McConnellsburg
to wake up and erect a big grain
elevator and freight station same
as follow railroads. Let US have
a market for Fulton county pro-
ducts. Cheaper transportation
than could be afforded by a
mountain railroad Is now availa-.
BILE in the shape of big auto
trucks.

Keep Your Potatoes.

State College authorities are
doing all they can to assist in the
preservation of potatoes and 9TH
er vegetables for winter use.
McConnellsburg people may well
get busy along this line, for every
one knows that about Christmas,
potatoes, apples and other fruits
and vegetables almost disappear
from our markets.
Cold storage in the form of
caves dug under hills is highly
recommended by experimenters
as the most practical plan for
country districts. Apples buried
in the usual manner do not keep
after the hole" has been
opened, but if deep, dark, and
dry caves be used, and the con-
tents stored in proper recepta-
cles. and the entrance made Sc
cure against the escape of the
natural, underground cool tenn
perature. the vegetables may be
removed In quantities to suit,
and the remaining goods will not
spoil. Few cellars are cool enough
during warm weather. Address
State College, State College. Pa,
and ask for free bulletins about
storage. They can also be had
at THE NEWS office.
