Stricken in The Field.

While at work drilling in grain

in Wells Valley on Tuesday of
last week, Harry Caster had a
stroke of paralysis which affect

Harry will come around all right

Twenty Millions.

A few years ago, people
thought in terms of hundreds

an annuity fund Of $50, 900, 0OO,-

its aged and wornout preachers.

SHOULD EXERCISE CARE.
B. W. Truax, D. Y. NJ, Burr Oaks,
KanS., Urges Caution in The Sci.
eCtiOn of Western Sheep.

Recently | observed in an issue
of the NEWS that a number of
farmers contemplated sending a
representative west to purchase
sheep for breeding purposes, so
as to enable them to adequately
stock their farms with this prac-
tically indispensable animal.
With the interests of my home
folks always uppermost, | wish
to express few words of eau
ton in their selection. so as not
to acquire any animals afflicted
with parasites or any contagious
or infectious diseases, to which
sheep seem to be very suscepti-
BILE.
Many of the sheep ranges are
infected out West with parasites
to such an extent, that it is no
longer profitable for the owners
to breed sheep and consequently
they are disposing of these herds
of diseased animals so the would.
be purchaser should exercise
great care to avoid selecting any
affected ones and also all appar-
emily healthy animals if they
originated on infected premises,
as they may be afflicted in a
latent form which sometimes is
the most dangerous owing to its
insidions nature.
Would tim e permit me, |
would enumerate and briefly de-
scribe, some of the conditions to
guard against, but it would re-
quire a rather extended article;
so will simply reiterate my pre-
vious statement:-Be careful to
secure only healthy stock animals
as a healthy herd of sheep and a
diseased herd represent respec-
lively profit and loss.

Turned Turtle.

About four o'clock last Friday
morning two men in a Buick had
an accident at the Thomastown
turn on the Lincoln Highway a
mile and a half west of McCon-
nellsburg. Not being familiar
with the road, the car shot across
the way, through a fence, and
landed wrong side up" The
men came to McClain's garage,
and in a short time Ned Mellott
was on the ground with a truck
and a stout rope, and the machine
was placed on its feet" and
brought to town. Outside a
crushed top and windshield, the
machine was not greatly dam
aged, and the men fortunately
escaped without serious injury.

He brought his wife, a native

Raising Prices in Japan.

A bag of rice which only a few
years ago cost slips now sells at
81. so, an increas of 100 per cent.
But this staple is only typical of
nearly all other articles of house.
hold use. No legitimate reason
exists for this increase. Rice is
raised in Japan. Wages are
slightly higher, no doubt. but
not sufficiently so to add 100 per
cent to the cost of an article of
necessity. Such a raise in price
of necessities is an avoidable
hardship, observes East and West.
The government can check it,
if wisely directed. The rice mar
ket, like wheat in America,
should be the last to suffer from
violent manipulation. 1t is the
food of the people and govern.
ment should fix a limit for its
price.

Yields House Afire.

After breakfast Tuesday morn
ing, Mrs. Howard Weld, East
Lincoln Way, washed the dishes,
turned out the blaze in the oil
stove (as she supposedly put on
her wraps, and went to visit her
sister Mrs. Lear in the country.
Mr.. Weld was about the barn
attending to his stock. About
1880 O. clock, Mrs. VIM. Kennedy,
whose kitchen is just across an
alley from the Weld house, no.
ticed smoke escaping from the
windows of the Weld house and
called the attention of her hus-
band to it. Mr.. Kennedy ran
across to the back door and dis
covered that the inside Of the
kitchen was all ablaze. An
alarm was made, active work be-
gun, and the fire extinguished,
but not until it had badly damag-
ed the house and furniture.
The fire in some way had been
communicated to the oil tank of
the stove which had burst. scat
tering the kerosene all over the
room. The damages, we are
informed, is covered by insurance.

State Agricultural Notes.

According to estimates tn e
spring count of surplus honey in
colonies in Pennsylvania was 2e
pounds as compared with so
pounds a year ago.
1t is estimated that the Penn
sylvania commercial onion pro.
duction will reach 102, $50 bushels
as compared with $4,000 bushels
last year.
The condition of field peas,
field beans, tomatoes and cabbage
throughout the State is reported
as considerably above the aver
age. Cabbage is an especially
large and good crop.
Although buckwheat in the
northern section of the State was
damaged by the frosts early this
month, the indications point to a
crop of over 5000, bushels
this season.
The apple crop will be consider
ably below that of last years,
growers reporting the late crop
below the general average for
the past ten years.
Estimates place the wool pro-
duction in the State slightly above
that of last year and show that a
wonderful impetus has been CIV
en- the sheep industry which for
merly suffered a loss of about
three per cent. annually.
The barley crop is above the
average and estimates place it at
371, 600 bushels as compared with
300, 600 last year.

We have a schedule of intensive
training to cover a period of six
teen weeks, before we cross the
pond, unless the orders are chang
ed-which is very likely to occur,
so far as the motor ammunition
train is concerned; for none of
that branch has left for foreign
service. This branch of the
service Ito which | belong) is a
new one in the army.
Our company consists of 35
enlisted men and a first lieutenant.
Pennsylvania sends twelve COM
panies. In each company are
first class mechanics and two
assistants. | was appointed
assistant mechanic last Wednes-
day. We do not drill as much as
the infantry, and other branches.
We average about four hours a
day, with half-holiday on We'd
nesdays and Saturdays, and all
day Sundays unless on guard
duty which comes every IL days.
A lot of the boys, including the
Lieutenant, are sitting around in
the mess hall discussing the pos
slbility of going to France. Some
are anxious to go; others are not:
but, there is not one who would
accept an honorable discharge
and 60 home. Our meals are
good. We get good grub" and
all we can eat. For supper we
had hominy cakes, potatoes with
milk, iced-tea, and canned peach
es for dessert. There are about
%, 600 men here, including the
officers.
The cotton fields are white,
and the planters are busy with
tn e picking. The migratory
birds are just beginning to re-
turn from their summer vacation
in the North. We can go to Au-

The Food Problem.

Raise hogs, more hogs, and
then more hogs" was the mes.
sage emphasized by Mr.. Herbert
Hoover in his address before the
conference on food saving held
under the direction of the State
Committee of Public Safety at
the Bellevue Stratford hotel in
Philadelphia last Saturday, at
which Fulton County was rep
resented by Mr.. W. R. Sloan,
Executive Secretary of the Coun-
ty Committee of Public Safety.
The Allied countries, because of
their lack of fodder, have killed
off most of their cattle and hogs,
he pointed out, and the necessity
of animal fats is the big problem
now facing the food administra-
tors.
The people of this county do
raise hogs. Every year we hear
of this, or that, person slaugh-
tering, or selling, a large number
of hogs-or of some person kill
ing a special prize porker that is
a record breaker for weight.
But if we want to do our share
in winning the War we must out
do our former efforts along this
line. Why pay ten cents or more
a barrel for hauling corn to the
railroad warehouses, as many
farmers did with their last years
surplus crop, when it can be
turned into the finished product
right on oul pwn farms, with far
greater fnanc 4. returns.

A PUBLIC DUTY IN WARTIME.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, M. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

1t would seem as though the
general public ought to be fully
Informed on most of the horrors
of war, judging by the amount
that is printed on this subject.
Nevertheless, there is apparent
ly one phase that is not general
ly appointed. | refer to the dang
er from communicable diseases
acquired during the hardships of
a soldiers life, especially if he
happens to be taken prisoner and
is thus exposed in confinement
with hundreds of his mates.
These diseases are carried from
place to place wherever SOL
diers are transported, and oft
en-, when soldiers are invalided
and sent home, they bring these
communicable diseases with them
to distribute among the civil
population.
Already we have felt the lack
of enough physicians to protect
the health of the people at home,
and the health officer is some-
what at loss to know how to
enforce his health measures.
The only solution of the prob
lem is for the individual to give
time and attention to taking care
of himself. He must put himself
in a receptive attitude toward
the suggestions of the sanitary
officer, even though he may
think some of the suggestions so
trifling as not to be worthy of
serious consideration. There is
one thing sure, and that is that
he will consider it a serious mat
ter if the disease warned against
should happen to come his way.
If the writer were to think
over some of the most trihing
daily habits of everyone, and Sc
lect the very humdrum subject
of complaining about the habit
many men have of drawing their
trousers over their boots in un-
dressing, instead of taking their
boots off first. no doubt there
would be readers who would take
it as an instance of giving weight
to trihes.
Yet they would be wrong.
am sure that one product of this
habit is the common, yet always
annoying and often dangerous
boil, besides other infections that
| cannot 90 into with the space
available in these talks. A mo-
ment's thought will convince you
that there is something in the
theory. During days walking
your boots have gone through
miles and miles of filth. When
you slip your clothing off over
them, you are taking the chance
of transferring to your clothes,
and thence to your body, what
ever disease germs your boots
may have picked up in this filth.
So these "trifles" are not al
ways trifles. If we are going to
do our duty in preserving the
health of the civil population, we
must have less cases of sickness
than ever before, because we
have decidedly less doctors at
home to take care of whatever
comes up. Later on, when
wounded soldiers come home
with unsuspected communicable
diseases, we must know how to
do the best thing for them and
the best thing for ourselves, so
that we may not have here, as
they have had in foreign coun-
tries, widespread epidemics
among the civil population to be
drain on the vitality of our
military efforts.

Waste.

Approximately 20 per cent. of
each potato pared by the ordinary
household methods is lost in the
process. The loss includes much
and sometimes all of the portion
of the tuber containing import
ant soluble salts. Potatoes that
are boiled and baked in their
skins lose practically none of
their food value.
