No Free Seed.

The Safety Committees offer
to help find seed for planting this
spring does not mean that seed
will be furnished free. As an
illustration, Franklin and Fulton
county farmers are hunting
buckwheat for seed. The COM
mittee at McConnellsburg knows
where seed can be had of farm
ers in the county, and will be
glad to bring buyer and seller
together, but the buyer must pay
current price for it. Or if you
prefer, send the NEWS office your
request and We will Immediately
put it into the hands of the right
party. No one makes any money

ic work to enable the govern
ment to furnish food this sum-

good prices for everything you

The french Bond Buyers.

The French people are the
greatest investors in the Govern
ment bonds in the world. At the
close of the Franco Prussian War
in 1870 Germany demanded and
collected from France$l, 900, 0O0,-
600 indemnity. The French peo-
pie, who were as loyal then in
responding to their country's
need as their soldiers are to-day
hastened to loan this tremendous
sum to their country.
Their patriotism turned a great
misfortune into a great benefit.
Their thrift in thus saving their
money and investing it in Gov
ernment bonds not only brought
great prosperity to France but
the bonds rose in value all over
the world and made the French
national credit good wherever
civilization existed. Ten years
after the bonds were issued they
commanded a premium of rs per
cent.
What the American Nation is
called upon to do in lending the
American Government $4,000,
100000 and taking its bonds
therefor is little compared with
the loan of $1,000, 900, 900 to
France after the Franco -Prussian
War by the French people. Call
ed upon to do much less than

KING ALBERT's WISDOM.

King Albert, as commander in
chief of the Belgian army, has re-
Gently exercised clemency toward $50
military prisoners incarcerated at
Fresnes. After the experiences of
his army at Liege, Namur and Ant
werp, the king was obliged to intro
duce an iron discipline in order to
maintain a high morale among the
troops. The slightest offense was
punished with the greatest severity.
Men who in ordinary circumstances
would have received a light penalty,
during the days of the battle of the
User were condemned to five or six
years penal servitude. Today, with
the army again strongly organized
and permeated with high spirit,
clemency can be exercised without
danger, and groups of the con-
demned are set at liberty from time
to time.

Interest 10 Garden Work.

The garden movement has nec-
essarily become mostly an appeal
to the people to raise food for
patriotic reasons. But many
persons who are taking hold with
this feeling of obligations, are
going to find pleasure in it and
will discover that they have found
a new diversion. After the
aches and soreness incident to
using new muscles have passed
off, they will find that it is not
all drudgery as they anticipated.
A great many people have al
ways known this, and have kept
up garden work not merely for
reasons of family economy, but
because they found it agreeable
and interesting.
1t is like any other form of
conscious skill. The moment
that by reason of intelligent
knowledge you are able to pro-
duce a valuable result in spite of
difficulties, it is a pleasure to put
forth the necessary effort.
Garden work introduces you to
the personality of the different
food plants and the true enthusi-
asst feels a keen interest in all
their ways. He learns that this
one needs a great-deal of SUM-
shine and that one a special
amount of moisture. Some are
sensitive to cold and must be
planted late. Others are bold
and hardy and can 60 in early.
Some are tough creatures of poor
soils, and will hold up their in.
dependent heads on almost any
kind of land. Others are more
creatures of luxury, requiring
much coddling with fertilizers
and water before they-produce
their luscious fruit. The gar
dener who watches all these diff
ferent habits comes to look On
his plants az a kind of family in
which all must be nursed and
trained according to their indi-
vidual temperaments.
When any one acquires this
knowledge, it is with a sense Of
triumph that he produces hand
some potatoes and beans and
peas after a struggle with the ad-
verse forces of nature, and no
vegetable bought at a grocery
store every begins to taste so
we'll.

LEFT BROTHER IN THE LURCH
Youngsters Enjoyment Of the Play
Caused Him to Forget the Solemn
Agreement Made.

After a conference we resolved
that my brother should go in, see
one act, get the pass check and hand
it over to me with synopsis of the
first act. In this way we intended
to alternate until the show was out.
He fulfilled his part of the agree
ment, and got the pass and went
in. But when my time to come out
arrived l forgot he was waiting out
side until the third act was through,
and as my brother had sent up word
what he would do to me when / did
come out, l resolved to get the game
along with the blame and trust to
feetness of foot to beat him home.
This I did when the show was
over. I did not stop to give him the
