War and Woman Suffrage.

Anti-suffragists must be dull,
indeed, if they do not see that
the war is going to have a stim.
ulating effect on the campaign
for giving women the ballot in
this country.
That is the effect it has had on
the cause in Great Britain. The
government at London is pre-
pairing to bestow the rights to
vote on women in recognition of
their splendid share in meeting
the military necessities of the
nation-and also because the ar
tificiality of the old-time barriers
that have been raised against
them is generally acknowledged.
They have fitted into the indus
trial scheme of things without
difficulty of any sort. They have
taken the places of men in a
great variety of routine employ
ments. In no respect have they
failed to make good.
In the United States there is
likewise a significant movement
toward the introduction of wo-
man into mems ordinary pursuits.
The Boston Elevated Railway,
according to the testimony of an
officer before the Massachusetts
Public Service Corporation on
Tuesday, expects 1900 of its con-
ductors to be drafted for war SER
vice and is prepared to employ
women in their stead. The Penn.
sylvania Railroad is also arrang-
ing to use many women in vari-
Gus capacities, and other trans
portation concerns are sure to
follow the example of these two
companies.
1t would not be surprising if,
as the direct result of the war,
the suffrage were thrown open
by 1920 to great numbers of
American women who do not now
possess it. Gradually the old ar
guments, the old precedents, the
old prejudices, are falling down.
There is no reason why they
should be laboriously and vainly
upheld. -

Car Wrecked.

On Thursday morning of last
week as F. w. Winter, a prom
inent Pittsburgh attorney, with
wife and child, was passing east
over the Lincoln Highway just
west of Saluvia post office, the
big Chalmers car in which they
were travelling suddenly skidded
and crashed into a telegraph pole
with such farce that the cross
arms of the pole were detached
and the chauffuersthrown across
the fence into the adjoining field.
The wrecked car was towed back
to Everett, to which place Mr..
Winter and the chauffeur went
to catch a train for Pittsburgh,
while Mrs. Winter and child were
taken by passing automobile
to Chambersburg.
The chauffeur was painfully
bruised, but it was not believed
that he was fatally injured.

Flag Day.

To-day is Flag Day. At no
time, perhaps, in the history of
the United States has the Stars
and Stripes been so much rever-
ed by so many nations of the
world as at this time. Not only
are the allied nations of Europe
looking to us for the preservation
of civilization on earth, but the
socalled neutrals also. And we
boldly, assert that though hated
to a devilish degree by the Cen
tral Powers, down in the hidden
recesses of Prussian and Aus
trian hearts there is deepest re-
spect for Old Glory and only the
most inhuman disregard for the
laws of God or Man caused them
to strife what little better ma
ture they possessed when they
flung defiance and insult at the
emblem of the greatest country
on earth.

Dear Sir:-I am enclosing you a
little cash on subscription, think

use for it when you come to
make the next payment on your
Liberty Bonds. Have you
bought Liberty Bond?" is the
way you are greeted on the
streets of this patriotic little city.
Practically every working man
and woman in the town has
purchased a Bond. The farm
ers surrounding the town seem
to be a little slow in responding
to the call.

Destructive Storm.

One of the most destructive
hallstorms in the history of this
county passed over McConnells-
burg from west to east on Wed.
nesday afternoon of last week
Its path did not cover a strip
more than two miles in width.
but the loss to farmers within
this belt ran into thousands of
dollars. Among those who were
heavy crop losers were David
Rinedollar, David Woodal,, The
Patterson Brothers (Lind and
CaD, F. McNaughton Johnston,
Frank Tritle, W. H. Woodal, C.
P. Tritle, Daniel OFT, and Will
Clevenger. Many of the wheat
and rye fields were practically
ruined, which will mean a loss of
a thousand dollars to each of
some of the farmers named.
The rain came down in tor
rents. The fall of hail of an un-
usually large size, lasted about
fifteen minutes. Many windows
suffered the loss of glass. Davy
Little, who was caught in the
storm while returning from Web
ster Mills in his automobile, had
the windshield shattered by the
hailstones.
The storm was more severe as
it continued its course through
Franklin county, and the loss to
residents of Waynesboro and
Hagerstown ran into the tens of
thousands of dollars. 1t required
Six carloads of glass to replace

Red Cross Organization.

Owing to the fact that every
other county in Pennsylvania
had a Red Cross organization,
and not wishing to appear odd"
a number of our citizens met at
the rooms of the McConnellsburg
Social and Reading Club on Mon
day evening, effected a Temporal
ry organization, and applied for
a charter by which we may be
affiliated with the State and Ma
tional organizations.
From the indifference manifest
in the conduct of very many peo-
pie, it would seem that they do
not realize that WE PEOPLE
OF FULTON COUNTY-ar en-
tangled in one of the greatest
wars the world has ever seen,
and it is high time to think seri-
ously how we may do our part in
the protection of our property
and our homes.
One of the objects of the Red
Cross organization is that of as
sisting in the making and fur
nishing of material for the COM
fort of sick and wounded soldiers
to train and provide nurses; to
teach our people a thousand-and-
one useful things about the care
of persons in case of sickness or
accident in our homes.
A campaign of education along
this line will be follow, and you
will have an opportunity to make
yourself useful and at the same
time acquire a training that will
be invaluable to yourself.

Home Flooded.

The heavy rain on Wednesday
of last week flooded the home of
Messrs. Linn and Calvin Patter-
son, south of town, to the depth
of several inches. The flood came
off the hill behind the house.
The rush Of water first struck
the woodshed and floated the
chips toward the dwelling. Miss
Bess saw it coming and secured
one floor rug before it was dam
aged, but floors in all other rooms
in the lower story were covered
with dirty water. In plain,
American parlance, it caused
what we call a mess"

Wheat Crop Below Average.

According to the bulletin of
the state department of agricul-
true not one county reporting
shows the wheat to be within
five per cent. of the average con-
dition at this season of the year
for the last decade.
In some counties the wheat is
far behind the average condition
and hopes for a big yield from
them have been given up. In a
number of counties where the
wheat was ploughed down, the
ground was put into corn or oats.

Money not Tied Up.

There seems to be an idea held
by some that money invested in
a Liberty Loan Bond is going to
be tied up for fifteen or thirty
years. This belief is not war
ranted. Probably no property
in the world outside of actual
money or currency will have a
wider and more ready and con-
stant cash market than the Lib
erty Loan Bond.

WATCH YOUR WASTE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., L.. D.,
Commissioner of Health:

Commissioner Of Health.
When will the American people
who have lived in the land of
plenty awaken to the fact that
we are engaged in the most seri-
GUS war this world has ever
known?
We are just beginning the
fight to keep our enemies away
from our heretofore peaceful
homes.
The Allies, with whom we
are fighting shoulder to
shoulder, will depend upon US for
food, and our army of producers
must necessarily be lessened by
those who go to the front to
guard US from our enemy with
their muskets as our forefathers
did during the pioneer days of
America.
10 feed our men at the front
and their allied friends we must
not only talk about cutting down
our sinful waste, but we must
get down to brass tacks" and
use all the foods we buy with the
money we earn in our various oc-
cupations, and many of US by the
sweat of lur brows.
1t is high time we lay aside the
frills an get down to real
practical wol In times of dis
tress wrought ~ the tremendous
acts of nature, such as earth
quakes, cyclones, e,c., and also
by the devastations and horrors
of war, all social lines are broken
down, and we are found in our
shirt sleeves working side by
side.
The Sta tie Department of
Health of Pennsylvania has from
its birth been talking health and
economy to the people at our
firesides through the newspapers,
in the cities, on the farms, at the
coal mines, in the forest, and to
those who turn the wheels of all
kinds of industries.
Today we have gone so far as
to peep into the the garbage
buckets of the poor and the rich
only to meet a surprise by find
ing good pieces of bread, potato,
ginger snaps, mutton chops with
large portions of good meat un-
and potatoes skins
thick enough to have furnished
seed to the farmers and these
good foodstuffs represent only a
very few of others equally valu-
able for food.
The saving of this waste will
be an important factor in win
ming a victory that will mean the
restoration of peace and happi-
ness, while a continuance of
waste will mean hunger to men
who are fighting for the protec-
tion of our homes and the integ-
rity of our peaceful land and
homes where we are gradually
earning to bear and forbear
with each other so that all diff
ferences of opinion will be set
lied by arbitration.
