Be A Money Lender.

The way to accumulate for old
age is to be Industrious and eco-
nomical during your younger
years. No one is getting poor
erthat has more money or 9TH
er property at the end of the
year than at the beginning.
The man with a small income
can save something as well as
the man with a larger. Just
as soon as possible, put your
surplus money at work. At this
time, there is no better place to
put it, than to lend it to the Gov
ernment to help meet the eXpens-
es of the war. You will be sure
to get your principal back, and to
get good rate of interest. And,
then, you do not need wait until
you get a hundred dollars to-
gether, before you make a loan.
The Government will borrow any
money you have to spare, even if
it be only twenty-five cents.
Your postmaster will tell you how
it's done. Eary.
The following figures give
definite idea of what fifty or more
dollars will do, when invested in
a Liberty Bond, and used by the
War Department.
One $50 bond will buy trench
knives for a rife company, or %
hand grenades, or Ia rifle gre
nades, or 81 cases of surgical in
struments for enlisted mems
belts, or 10 cases of surgical in
struments for officers belts.
A $100 bond will clothe a SOL
dier, or feed a soldier for eight
months, or purchase 5 rifles or
80 rifle grenades, or 49 hand gre
nades, or 25 pounds Of ether, or
145 hot-water bags, or 1000 sur
gical needles.
A $100 and a $50 bond will
clothe and equip an infantry SOL
dier for service overseas. or feed
a soldier for a year.
Two $l00 bonds will purchase
a horse or mule for Cavalry, Art
illery, or other service.
Three $100 bonds will clothe
soldier and feed him for one year
in France, or buy a motorcycle
for a machine-gun company.
Four $l00 bonds will buy an K
ray outfit.

RECORD OF DEATHS.
short Sketches Of The Lives Of Per-
sons Who Have Recently
Passed Away.
MRS. S. B. WooLLET.

Elizabeth j., wife of Sylvester
B. Woollet, passed away at their
home "The Washington House,
McConnellsburg, on Tuesday
evening, April 2, 1918, aged 78
wears, l month, 21 days. While,
during the past three years, Mrs.
Woollet did not possess the vigor
of former years, she was up and
about the house doing light work
until the 5th. of January, when
she became suddenly indisposed,
took her bed and was confined
thereto until the end came. The
funeral services conducted by
Rev. w. V. Grove of the u. P.
Church and Rev. Edward Jack
son of the M. E. Church will take
place Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, after which interment
will be made in Union cemetery.
Mrs. Woollet was daughter of
Andrew and Catherine Ready
Fisher, and was the last surviv-
ing member of a family of eight
children. She was married to
Putnam Richardson during the
early part of the Civil War, who
died soon thereafter. On the
9th day of October, 1866 she
was married to Sylvester B.
Woollet, whopurchased the Wash
ington House and they moved in
to it in the spring of 1880 where
they resided, until some
three years ago, when they re-
tired from hotel keeping. The
Washington House was known
far and near as real home no.
tel, and Mrs. Woollet was an
ideal landlady, whose death will
bring a pang of sorrow to thous-
ands of persons who have en-
joyed the hospitality of her home.
Mrs. Woollet was a member of
the Presbyterian church and
while health permitted, took an
active part in all its activities.

Seed.COrn Problem.

three great questions or condl-
tions confronting the world to-
day, there can be no doubt. The
first is, the settling of the temper
ance question; the second, the
dreadful war, and the third,
farming along broad lines. If we
are not able to get seed-corn that
will germinate, and if the farm
ers are not on their job in this
matter, we are doomed to face
the shortest crop ever known in
this country.
If this crest war should con-
tinue for some time, and we do
not have a great crop of wheat
this combined with a short
corn crop, we will face such con-
ditions as this country has never
seen, Taking the view of con-
ditions as they are before us to-
day, every farmer should be sure
that his seed-corn will germinate.
Most of the corn in the frost
belt will not germinate to the
extent of fifty per cent. and
some of it will not do anything
but rot, while a small percentage
may send up sickly stalk that
cannot develop.
The man who goes to his crib,
as usual, in the spring of the
year when he is ready to plant,
and selects his corn as he has
been accustomed in other years,
is doomed to failure.
Any one who has seed-corn
that was grown along the noun
tain side or where it was not in
jured by frost and was shucked
before the severe winter set, in,
should make it known. If you
have not time to plant all you
can, test it by the Longenecker
plan, which is, to lift the kernel
and see if the germ is white; if
so, it will grow; but both ends Of
the germ must be white. If the
germ is black, or amber colored,
be assured that it will not grow.
| have tried it out and know
what | am talking about. Ihave
examined corn from several cribs,
and find, generally, that the corn
is frozen and, consequently, of
no value as seed.
Try it for yourself and you will
see how easy it is to miss your
guess. Some of the very finest
looking ears-ears that you would
think couldn't help but grow
will, when submitted to test,
show nothing but a yellow, shriv-
eled-up germ that will not-can
not grow.
Yours, for the welfare of the
Country,
G. ]. BREWER.
Ayr township.
Mr.. Brewer has no seed-corn
to sell; in fact, will have to buy
some for his own use.

Traffic on the Lincoln Highway.

its readers the astounding infor-
nation that seven new REQ cars
all in one string-passed through
that city over the National pike
enroute to some eastern city for
distribution. That reads like a
paragraph that might have ap-
peared in the News ten years
ago with the Lincoln Highway"
substituted for the National
Pike"
The bulk of traffic on the Lin
coin Highway during the past
year or more is astonishing to
the residents along this great
transcontinental thorofare, and
quite unbelievable to persons in
other sections of the country
who knew it during the toll.gate
days of a quarter Of a century
ago.
There is practically a constant
stream of motor vehicles, on the
road now, composed of new cars
Of every known make-trucks
from the light Ford skeletons to
the giant Goodrich of the Akron
Boston line with its 10inch
pneumatics. Included in this
are the trains of ponderous army
Packard trucks that 60 thunder
ing through the town with a jar
that makes the windows rattle.
A McConnellsburg lady who
has kept CAREFUL tally, reports
tn, during the three months pre-
cedi, the first Of April, thirty
one acny-truck trains passed
eastward through McConuelIs-
burg. These trains we're con-
voyed by a company of soldiers
averaging about IS men. and the
train was composed of 81 trucks.
Thus, during the three months
almost a thouasnd army trucks,
and more than twenty-five hun
dred soldiers, passed over the
road on tn cir way to join
Pershing.
A lady in st. Thomas, town
on the Lincoln Highway fifteen
miles east of McConnellsburg,
kept accurate account of the au-
tomobies passing through that
town last Friday, and her report
is 1850.
Notwithstanding the unusaI
snowfall of the past winter, there
were very few days that the
road was impossible. 1t is
remarkable that with all the
traffic, and mountainous con-
dition of this part of the State
that there should have been SO
few accidents. The first acci.
dent of any consequence happen
ing to an army truck occurred at
Grandview, east of the top of the
Allegheny mountain last week,
when a driver who had the lower
side of the road swung too far to
the right to allow crowding up
the-mountain truck to pass, and
he plunged over a 300.ft. en-
bankment. When the driver of
the army truck found he was in
for it, he quickly turned his steer
ing wheel so as to go straight
over the embankment and the
heavy truck moved down all op-
posing objects and landed up
with a smashed wheel and a bent
axle. The men on the car escap.
ed without a scratch. The truck
passed through McConnellsburg
a day later on its own power.

MARCH HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers and OH
ers Who faye Paid Subscription Dur
ing Month of March.

More new subscribers have
been added to the FULTON CoUN-
TY NEWS subscription list during
the month of March than during
any like period in its history, out
side of five years ago when the
contest was on. This shows that
Fulton County people-no matter
what other papers they take
want to see the NEWS. The
NEWS plays fair. If a subscri-
ber says he wants his paper dis
continued when the time is up,
off it comes without any back
talk. The News never puts the
names of people on the list and
sends them the paper without
permission, and then expect them
to pay for it. The NEWS aims
to get its papers to its subscribers
before it is week old. and be-
fore everybody has heard the
happening before they see the
paper. If you like the NEWS tell
your friends about it-if it's a
good thing, pass it along.
But here we go again. We
started out to give the names of
those who had become new sub.
scribers or had paid subscription
to the NEWS during March; and
then get off the subject. Here
are the names-you know many
of them.
