issued by Mrs. A. G.. Hodgins, who

Run Down by an Automobile.

Last Saturday evening about
ten o'clock, Harry Mellott, who
lives on the Thomas johnson
farm west of town, was very Sc
riously injured by being run
down by an automobile in the
hand of a reckless driver.
Harry was walking on the
Lincoln Highway returning to
his home from McConnellsburg.
When at a point opposite the res
idence of D. A. Washabaugh he
discovered that a car was coming
up behind him, and as he turned
to look the machine was upon
him, knocking him to the ground
and both the front and rear
wheel on one side of the car pass
ed over his body. Acting as
though he had done something
smart, the driver put on the gas
and was soon away. Harry
managed to get to Mr.. Johnson's
and he was later taken to the
home of his sister Osie Carbaugh
and Doctor Mosser gave the in
jured man necessary attention.

Clean up Garden Remnants.

Many destructive garden pests
overwinter on the remnants Of
crops left in gardens and fields.
Now is the time to prevent much
of next years loss by gathering
and burning or plowing under
the remains Of garden plants.
Cutworms. stalk borers, mag
gots, flea beetles and many in
sect pupae and chrysalids will be
destroyed by thorough garden
sanitation at this time. Many
plant diseases will be reduced by
these clean up methods.
Fall plowing and thorough
disking or narrowing kills many
grubs, maggots and overwinter-
ing forms in the soil by breaking
up their winter nests and hiber-
nation cells. Gardens and fields
can be worked earlier in spring
if fall plowed.
Secure cooperation of your
neighbors in this good cause and
note the cleaner conditions next
growing season.

What the Fighters Get.

A bill introduced in Congress
to pay a bonus of $50 a month to
the American soldiers sent to
Europe met opposition on the
ground that an American soldier
didn't have to be paid to make
him patriotic. Uncle Sam shows
up as a generous provider as
compared with some of the other
nations. The Austrian soldiers
get the munifcent salary of 81
cents a month. France pays her
poilus 81. 45 for the same period
of service, while the German in
the trenches receives $3,7S and
the Italian So CT. There is a
wide range of payment between
Great Britain and her colonies.
The English Tommy is paid $3.50
a month, although he fights side
by side with the Canadian at $93
the New Zealander at $36. so and
the Australian at $4S.80, the
highest-paid man of them all.
The Russian foots the list at 80
cents a month for actual war
service. All of these figures are
for the lowest grades of fighting
men, with the amounts rendered
in the equivalent of American
currency. The lowest pay of an
American soldier is $50 a month
at home, which is increased to
$33 a month in foreign duty.

Why We are at War.

Recently the Secretary of Ag-
riculture gave his views as to
why we are at war with Ger
many. He asserted that we are
at war with Germany because
she made war on US, denying
and invading our obvious rights;
that we are at war with Germany
to make good our claim that we
are a free nation, to exercise our
rights without restraint or die.

to have the kind of institutions
we wish, and to live the kind of
national life we have determined
to live; that we are at war with
Germany, in cooperation with
other decent and liberty.loving
nations Of the earth, to preserve
freedom in the world and to pre-
vent a recurrence, if possible,
of another calamity such as the
world is now enduring.

A. DuYalI.

John L. Duvall, daughters Ara
mintha and Lillian, and Jesse A.
Barnett-all of Wells Tannery,
boarded the train at Hopewell
Thursday morning, October 25th
and journeyed to Barnesboro,
Cambria county, Pa, arriving
there at 500 p. m..- of the same
day. They wended their way to
the parsonage of the st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal church, but
found the pastor engaged in an
evangelistic service. After the
service was ended, they made
known their wishes and the pas
tor Of the church and uncle of
bride, the Rev. George A. Duvall
said the words that united Jesse
A. Barnett and Aramintha L.
Duvall in holy wedlock. The
bride was given away by her
father and was attended by her
sister Miss Lillian. The ring

party spent the next day very
pleasantly visiting and on Sat-
urday they returned to the home
of the groom where a wedding
supper was served and a jolly
good time was had.

profession and is a clean and
highly respected young man of
promise. The bride is the ac-
complished eldest daughter of
John L. Duvall, and a former
teacher in the public schools.
Gowned in georgette crepe trim
med in white satin as she was

being make their home at Wells

wishes of the entire community

Might Be Worse.

Some one has dug up an in
voice of a bill Of goods sold by a
firm of wholesale grocers of
Keokuk, Ia., in June, 1862,
which shows that sugar was $58
a barrel and rice $38, while tea
sold at $1O1 for a 25.pound chest.
Coffee was four times the pres
ent price, and the same bill of
groceries which then brought
$644. IA could be purchased to-
day for $29l.61. Those were
the days of the civil war, which
accounts for the soaring prices.
Nowadays when people kick over
paying nine or ten cents a pound
for sugar and moderate sums
for tea and coffee they may find
some consolation is nowingIthat
their grandparents were in
much worse plight. Compared
with most of the world, the
United States is standing the
stress and strain of the present
war with comparatively little
discomfort.

FRESH AIR IN HOME AND HOSPITAL.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Fresh air is the environment
in which man developed to his
present state of perfection. Now
that our great newspapers reach
to every nook and corner of the
world bearing the message, most
men and women appreciate the
part pure air plays in sustaining
health.
Owing to the various demands
of civilization we find it hard to
be where we can best earn a
livelihood and at the same time
dwell in an atmosphere suffici-
emily pure to maintain perfect
health. Not only the medical
profession, but now the general
public, appreciates that in the
cure of tuberculosis of the lungs
fresh air is essential, and, there
fore, all our best hospitals are
built and managed so that the
patients may receive the maxi
mum of fresh air.
Purity of air is necessary for
the sick. This is often lost
sight of by patients and those to
whose care they are entrusted.
During the convalescence of pa
tients from acute diseases in
cold weather, we find in homes
and hospitals where there are the
greatest luxuries that those in
attendance on the sick often ne
glect maintaining the regulation
temperature. The patient does
not get his fresh air unless it
happens to be summer. Physi-
clans, internes and nurses, who
have to be up and down at all
times Of the day and nights are
often thoughtless of those whom
they serve and often fail to dress
themselves sufficiently for pro-
lection against the cold air that
the patient in bed should re-
ceive if those in charge are to
get the best results. They
should measure the temperature
of the room by a thermometer
and not by their own feelings.
This is an important fact to be
remembered by both patient and
caretakers.

Save Enough Seed Corn.
d. A. BLACK,
Waterfall, Pa.

Special representatives of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture are in the fields in the
corn-producing States of the Mid
die West to complete the cam
paign for the saving of a two
years supply of seed corn from
the present crop. Twenty emer-
gency workers have been sent to
Iowa by the extension depart
ment. Thirteen emergency men
are in Indiana and corps of spe-
cial workers will be assigned to
each corn-producing State COOP
Grating with the State colleges
and agents. For several weeks
the county agents have been paw
ing the way for the camprign
wind-up now being undertaken.
The campaigners 60 into the corn
field with the farmer, assist him
in the selection of the best seed
corn, and in its proper storage
after selection. The necessity
of making absolutely certain at
this time an ample seed corn sup
ply both for next year and the
year following is being urged as
one of the most important agri-
cultural duties in the corn belt.

Harness Inspector

A short time ago. Bert F.
Smith a we'll known harness max
er in Mercersburg and who, a
few years ago, worked in the
shop with P. P. Mann in McCon-
nellsburg, received a telegram
from Uncle Sam to report at
once at Jeffersonville, Ind, as a
harness inspector. Mr.. Smith
some time ago had offered his
service to the government but
did not expect to be taken so sud-
denly. He arranged to leave
his saddlery business in the care
of his brother Arthur, of St.
Thomas, who had recently been
hurt in an automobile accident
and Mr.. Edward Crumm will
take charge of the mechanical
part of the business.

Keep Another Brood Sow.

Farm Agent Joseph S. Oberle
has written the following for
Franklin county farmers, and the
NEWS passes it along for Fulton
County farmers. 1t does not re-
quire any argument. to convince
any one that it is good business.
If you don't have a brood sow,
get one. 1t will be highly profit
able as well as patriotic. Our
soldiers must have meat and the
country at large must have more
fats. The pig is the best and
quickest source of fat and returns
more for the feed than sheep or
steers. If you have steers have
the largest number of hogs pos
sible follow them.
Hogs are and likely will be a
very profitable source through
which to market your corn.
The world supply of meat is
short and the price is likely to
stay up and the brood sow will
be worth more as breeder than
as a fat carcas. Don't fatten
your brood sows for market be-
cause of the present prices. 1t
will be far more profitable. and
better to select an extra brood
sow in addition to those you al
ready have.
Select breeding sows with good
bone, long bodies, good strong
broad arched backs, good deep
sides, and strong pasterns.
1t is worth going a long way
to get the services of a high class
sire of some breed that produces
large litters. Much of your sue
cess lies in the sire.
Balance up your rations with a
high protein feed such as tank
age.
Consult the Farm Bureau at
the courthouse in Chambersburg
on questions on hog feeding.
Services are free. Send for free
bulletins and circulars on hog
feeding.
