Fantastic Parade.

The Boy Scouts and the Camp
Fire Girls pulled off a little per-

the boys marched and all were
equipped for the occasion. Had

The hundred-million dollars
asked for by the Red Cross Or
ganization of America under the
supervision of the Con yress of
the United States met a most
hearty response and Fulton Coun-
ty showed that she was possess
ed of the spirit. The very short
time in which the work was
done and the late hour at which
the work was taken up here
most of the money raised was
contributed by Ayr, Todd and
the Borough making a total of
about S1300.00. That the other
districts in the County would
have responded just as freely if
they had been given the oppor-
tunity, goes without saying. We
hope they will not worry, how
ever, for if the war continues
for a considerable length of time
as it may do, every citizen-man,
woman and child in the country
will have an opportunity to do
their bit"
The Methodist Episcopal Sum-
day schools in the United States
took it upon themselves to raise
$100, 900 90 of this War Chest
Fund, and on last Sunday the
McConnellsburg M. E. school
did their bit" by making a con-
tribution Of twenty dollars. AS
the average per school would be
five dollars, the McConnellsburg
school will help out some of those
who may not be able to reach the
average.
When we went to press last
week we did not have all the
names of those who contributed
to the Fund, and published those
reported up to Wednesday eve-
ming. Since that time the fol-

End 7'raucl.

People will stand inflated food prices
which have increased the cost of living
on account of the great war. but when
IL comes to increasing the cost of travel
by jitncys, there is different story,
and this fact many of the ji;neurs
have already learned in their one day
experience OF charging Z cents, where
formerly the rate was cents. Instead
of seeing large crowds conEregate at
the corners during the day, especially
at rush hours. one finds empty jitneys
passing up and down the streets. Some
OF the people took 10 the jitneys that
charged the same price, ccnts-and
others increased the receipts OF tho
traction company.
The jitneurs claim that 1t is barely
possible to run their cars at cents
and carry on their business in the face
OF the increasing price of gasoline and
tires. Yet the old jitneurs refused to
increase the price to z cents, because
they saic the public would not stand
for it, Yesterdays experience seems
TO show the truth of this assertion
Many people were surprised when
paying their fares to have their attcp-
ton called to the new sign on the
wind shield, and, Of course many others
objected

Richmond has already done it's share it
should now help 10 make the loan sue

Architect Inspecfs Federal building
With View OF Making Necessary
Changes.

An expert. representing the super

partment. yesterday made a survey Of
conditions in the post office of the Fed
crai Building, and will upon his return
10 Washington make recomme ndations
of changes in the building looking to-
ward relief of congestion in the parcel
post department. Just what changes
would be were not certain. but 1t was
believed that they would cost from
$4,000 TO $4,000. 1t is likely that the
stairway in the east end OF the build
ing will be torn OUT, and the money
order department moved into this space
or into some other building.
The Eleventh Street property which
the Post Office Department recently
purchased, cannot be utilized for this
Improvement because of the difference
IN the elevation Of the floors. and be-
cause the type of construction in the

extreme congestion in the rear OF the

ioaded and unloaded. has been a prob
lem FOR some time and the cause of

The last scene of disturbance of the

was staged yesterday morning in Police

Amos, both employees at the factory
were arraisned on charges OF assault.
After hearing all the evidence Justice

against both of the defendants.
The trouble between Mrs. Amos and
Collins was brought about when Mrs
Amos saw Collins and her son engaged
in hand-to hand encounter From
all evidence produced Collins had evil

Collins had Mrs. Amos's son down on
the floor and was giving him a severe

Mrs. Amos. like the champions of old.
hesitated not in entering the lists and
quickly put an end to the fight
However, 1t was the manner in which
MIS-. Amos put an end to the fight that
caused the dispute. 1t is said that
when Mrs. Amos arrived on the scene
OF the battle she took off her slippcr
and struck Collins on the head with
