Look 0ut for Them.

Despite the warnings of the
NEWS and other periodicals,
many people are permitting
thieves to fool them by a story
that should not deceive a ten
year-old boy or girl. When John
Keebaugh, tenant on s. B. Wool
let's farm in Dublin township,
was in town Friday, he reported
the operations of a gang just
across the line in Huntingdon
county, who represent themselves
to be in the employ of the U. S.
government-their duty being to
visit fruit cellars to determine
whether boarding" is going on.
If they find more than one hun
dred cans or jars of fruit, the
rascals appropriate the surplus.
A few weeks ago, the Cham
bersburg papers reported a SINH
lar gang that visited smokehouses
in Franklin County and appropri-
ated all the surplus hams. One
lady smart enough to act, held
the thieves on a pretext until she
called her husband from the field
and he soon told them where to
get off,"
Let the NEWS readers not for
get that Uncle Sam is not send
ing spies to inspect farmers Gel
lars and that all suspicious char.
acters should be rounded up and

The corn crop this year is a
good one, the price is high, and
the corn huskers have come in
for their share of the prosperity.
A man living near McConnells-
burg has a wife whose household
cares do not stand in the way of
her going out occasionally and
helping her husband To make the
living. They went down the
Cove, husked fifty barrels of corn
one day. The old rule is. the
tenth barrel for the husking.
When night came, they had five
barrels to their credit. The farm
er said to them, IF it's all the
same to you, / will give you ten
dollars in cash instead of the five
barrels of corn" The offer was
accepted, and the worthy pair
went home with a ten.spot as
their reward for a days work.
George A. Sipes, near Andover
in Licking Creek township, beats
that just a little. George went
to Franklin county and set to
work husking corn for George H.
Martin on the 18th of October.
AT the end of thirty-five working
days, George had husked 975
barrels-an average of 27 6-7
barrels a day. Applying the
rule of one-tenth for husking,
and the price, two dollars a bar
rel, George cleaned up about
S. 81 a day. George then came
over to Fulton and husked 1873
barrels on the Alex Patterson
farm in the Cove.

Badly Rammed.

Mr.. William Hershey, one of
Taylor townships enterprising
farmers who is trying to help the
Government keep up its wool sup
ply, had an experience last week
that he will not soon forget. He
was out in a pasture where the
sheep were, when he noticed a
big ram plunging toward him
with head down. The gentle
man" sheep had blood in his eye,
and wicked pair of horns, but
William made up his mind to
stand his ground, and when the
sheep came near enough, he
would grab him by the horns and
sling him into the middle of next
week. Human calculations some-
times fail. William missed his
dip. The head of the sheep hit
one of Williams legs between
the knee and ankle and broke it
off like a pipe stem. Fortunately
DR.. McClain knew how to fix it
and William will be just as good
as ever if he has patience enough
not to try to walk on it too soon.

fOur.PrOnged Buck.

A party of Bethel township
boys had a fine time last week
in a deer hunt down in the South
Mountain near Caledonia. On
Friday afternoon, part of the
crowd passed through McCon-
nellsburg with a big buck tied
on the automobile. 1t had been
shot by Frank Hill. The hunt
ing party was composed of nine
persons, namely, Frank Hill,
Ross Barnhart, Oscar Bivens,
Walter Palmer, John HilL AL
bert Carnell, John Carnell, Thur
man Sharpe and Glenn Yonker.
They had made the trip in two
automobiles Hill taking
part of the boys, and James
Sharpe, the rest. While they
didn't get a buck apiece, they
got a lot of fun out of the trip.
The deer killed by Frank Hill
had four prongs and weighed
about $50 pounds.

Keep the Roads Open.

Keep the roads open. do moi
let snow block the Government
is the slogan adopted by the
Pennsylvania Committee of Pub.
lie Safety. They have sent a
call for organized community
workers. equipped with automo.
biles, snow plows and shovels,
to every district in the State, to
keep the roads open during the
present winter. They say the
railroads are doing their utmost
to handle the transportation prob
lem, but they are congested and
the highways must be kept in
shape to make possible the con-
tinuous use of motor trucks and
passenger cars.
The Lincoln Highway has been
doing much to relieve the rail-
road congestion. The thousands
of new cars that are being driven
over it from western factories,
the large trucks hauling great
loads, that otherwise would have
to be shipped by rail have help
ed solve this serious problem.
In addition to this the announce
ment has just been made that
the initial fleet of thousands of
war trucks will go over this road
within the next week or two,
travelling from Detroit and other
western points eastward.
The Lincoln Highway has put
Fulton County on the map. Not
having a railroad this great ar
terry of travel has been opened
to us, supplying our every need.
1t must not become snow bound
this winter-not only for our
own local use-but for that of
the Government. Every man
should feel it his patriotic duty
to put forth every means at his
command in doing this work.
Our part in winning the War
has been put squarely up to us
and we must assume it.

Final Quota Go Next Week.

Information has been received
at draft headquarters that the
remaining number in the first
draft will be sent to Camps
Meade and Lee next week.
Twenty-eight thousand Penn
sylvanians are still in the State,
and there are twenty-five Fulton
County men needed to fill out
our quota.
The first installment we sent
out contained four men; the Sec
ond, 20 men, the third, Is. Our
apportionment was 70. hence, 25
will be sent next week.
There were GIL Fulton County
men drafted and the Govern
ment's first call was for 70. AS
we had 6 enlisted men to our
credit, only 73 drafted men were
needed to complete the first call.
To get 73 men who could pass
all the military requirements, it
became necessary for the Board
to examine 29S men. This left
373 men who were drafted, to be
called for examination later.
The discharges granted to
those of the 29S men who were
examined and excused from 60
ing into service at this time, will
be revoked on the 18th day of
December, and after that date
they will be liable to be called
for service at any time.
The Government has found
that it needs men for many pur-
poses besides that of actual fight
ing in the trenches; and those
drafted, who may not be physi-
cally able to bear arms, will be
used in other branches of the
service and thus be able to rem
der as valuable assistance to
their country as though really
under arms.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

The demand for men to serve
in the army is fast making seri-
Gus inroads upon the forces en-
gagged as producers of food, fab
ricators of munitions of war and
guardians Of the sick. Our In
dian corn is standing uncut in
the fields while other foodstuffs
are rotting in the ground for the
want of human hands to work
them. The prospects are that
the home army which produces
those things necessary to sup
port our boys at the front, is 60
ing to be still further reduced in
number.
This condition of things makes
it obligatory for each individual
to take care of his own health as
well as to be his brothers keep
er."
Today, the point of our talk
will be on a custom of the retail
druggist and of those who have
contagious and infectious diseas-
es at their homes. Take as an
example what may very well be
a typical illustration in the case
of child suffering from scarlet
fever. The doctor leaves his
prescription, which is sent to the
retail druggist to be prepared.
The medicine is sent home and
given to the patient. There be-
ing signs of improvement, the
doctor orders the prescription re-
newed.
The bottle that has been kept
in the patients room is sent to
the druggist, who is busy putting
up a prescription for another
child who only has a bad stom-
ach-ache. The druggist takes
the bottle from the scarlet fever
patient in his hands, but, being
in hurry to get the prescription
off to the prtient suffering from
stomach-ache, sets the bottle
down and puts up the powders
with his infected fingers.
One of these powders is given
to the patient directly out of the
paper from the druggist, with a
result that in a few days she has
a slight sore throat, etc. The
doctor is sent for, and informs
the anxious mother that he very
much suspects scarlet fever.
The bottle, boxes or jars in
which prescriptions are put up,
should never be returned to the
druggist from a house where
there is a contagious or infec-
tious disease. These communica-
BILE diseases have to be uuaran-
tined to prevent them from be-
coming epidemic.
Thus in the case mentioned
above, the illness of the second
child would probably make nec-
essary the isolation CT some wage
Garner in its family, man or wo-
man, and thus cause the econom-
ic loss of one who contributed
not only to the support of those
at home but also to the upkeep
of the soldier boys at the front.
Let US take care to keep we'll,
that we may produce our share
of the winning of the war fought

Many Names Added to the Roll Of Mem.
bers from Those Attending

While the sunshine of prosperi-

darkness of poverty, destruction
and suffering lies heavily on the
face of Europe. Thousands of
millions of dollars worth of prop

ed, homes have been broken up,
mothers and children have been
separated, and in many places
the direst devastation prevails.
Is it any fault of theirs that
they thus suffer? And have we
any assurance that we shall al
ways be as free from calamitous
conditions as now?
AS a member OF society, are
you living for yourself alone, or
are you living that others may be
ter-happier, for your life?
Just now. every man, woman,
boy, girl, has an opportunity to
help in the greatest work for the
relief of humanity ever offered,
and this is done by becoming a
member of the Red Cross.
