SAVE SUGAR.
Close Restriction Placed On Retailers.
Two TO Five Pounds in Towns; Five
70 Ten in Country.

There has been no material
change in the sugar situation and
the need for saving sugar is as
great today as ever. The Food
Administration is making every
effort to prevent a serious short
age of sugar during the coming
canning season. The best way
to prevent such a shortage is 10
see that as far as possible there
is an equal distribution Of sugar
to the trade and to the consumer.
Every consumer is urged not to
use q pound more sugar nor to
buy a pound more, than he actu-
ally needs for present use.
Dealers are authorized to sell
sugar in the towns and cities to
consumers in the following guam
tites: 2 lbs. to 5 lbs., depending
on the size of the family.
To consumers residing in the
rural communities and country
5 lbs. to 10 lbs. depending on the
size of the family.
Dealers are asked to use their
discretion in making sales, and to
inquire as to the size of the fami-
ly and whether or not the party
has sugar on hand, m er C h ants
should be very carefulin making
sales of sugar to persons who are
not regular customers. Some
unpatriotic persons make a prac-
tice of buying the full amount of
sugar they can purchase from
more than one dealer. This
practice should be stopped. Su-
gar boarding is a crime and un-
patriotic and merchants should
use their best efforts to prevent
it by being very careful to make
only such sales as they feel sure
are legitimate.
If the public will follow the
rules 81 the Food Administration
and prevent sugar boarding there
will be enough sugar for the can
ming season. BUTT requires strict
economy now in the use of sugar
to insure the supply necessary
later. ..s,.

Enthusiastic Meeting.

AS was announced in the News
last week, Amos Huston, who
spent six months in France last
was in McConnellsburg
Monday evening, and addressed
a Red Cross meeting in the Audi
torium. This spacious room was
filled to overfowing-in fact, it
kept overfowing most of the time
the meeting was in progress,
much to the annoyance of the
speakers. Mr.. Huston gave an
interesting description of con-
ditions as he saw them in France,
and made an earnest appeal for
greater interest in the welfare of
the boys" Mrs. Lillian Bern
hardt, of Three Springs, tire
less worker in the interests of the
Red Cross movement, made a
strong address, and the exercises
closed by short but p poi n tie d
speech by Hon. John P. Sipes.

Off For Camp Lee.

Last Monday afternoon five
more Fulton County boys left for
Camp Lee, Va. to go into active
training for military service in
the U, S. army. The boys were
Floyd Thomas Hart, of Belfast;
James E. Ray, of Union; Ahimaaz
V. Schooley, of Licking Creek;
Harry William Naugle, of Todd,
and John Ray Booth, of Taylor.
Fulton County has now sent 70
men to Camp Lee, and will send
five more next Tuesday, namely,
Levi Hartman Garland, Belfast;
Mac Jacob Pittman and his broth
er Claude Homer Pittman, of
Thompson; David Edgar Gordon,
of Thompson, and Walter Calvin
Wigfield, of Union. Ray Wilson
Weller, of Thompson, has been
called to report at McConnells-
burg at the same time; and in
case the two Pittman brothers do
not both wish to 60 at this time,
Mr.. Weller will be sent.
The five just named make "a,
and they will be sent to Camp
Thomas, Kentucky. In addition
to these, 10 Fulton County boys
were sent to the Kelly aviation
field in Texas, of whom the names
were given at the time they left.
The great stress of battle in
Europe makes it imperative that
men must be rapidly assembled
at the various training camps,
and as rapidly hurried from the
training camps to the front across
the sea. The young men who
have become of age since the 9Th
of last June, will be registered,
examined and placed in Class l,
which means that they will have
the preference when it comes to
choosing men for active service.

Have You Thought About Il?

When you read about Ameri-
can troops going into action on
the western front, do you feel
as if your job is tame in COM
parison? Do you long to throw
down your tools and join them?
You do if you have real red
blood in you.
But perhaps you can't join
them. Perhaps you are too old
or have dependents. Perhaps
you are working a farm or do
ing some other thing which the
Government feels is very i'm
portant and should not be neg
lected. If you are, just re-
member that you have an i'm
portant job back of the lines,
and then 60 ahead and make it
just as important as you know
how.
Fight the Hun at home as
you would like to fight him in
Europe. Fight for big crops,
so that the boys on the line may
have plenty of food. Fight time
on any job which you may have
so that Uncle Sam may throw a
perfect deluge of material against
the European barbarian, Buy
Liberty Bonds; talk War Stamps;
live, dream and think of nothing
but how to make this real big
venture of our lives go-and go
big.

Government Trucks.

During the past week there has
been an almost unbroken chain
of Government trucks, and COM
mercial trucks and cars, passing
eastward through McConnells-
burg over the Lincoln Highway.
There have been, at least 400
Government trucks conveyed by
a thousand soldiers. The rainy
weather of the past week has
made the roads bad. Monday
evening the brakes went bad on
one of the big trucks descending
Betz Hill five miles west of Nc
Connellsburg, and in trying to
round a sharp curve the truck
struck a big telegraph pole and
shipped it off like a briar cane,
and it never stopped until it
landed in the bottom.
Four young ladies from the
western part of the state that
were accompanying the boys" "
were taken from the trucks at
Chambersburg Tuesday after
noon and placed in Jail to await
instructions from the girls pa.
rents. One of the girls who man.
aged to elude the police, showed
up in McConnellsburg yesterday
morning, hatless and penniless.
She said she had left her hat and
purse in the truck.

Have Yon Helped? If Not, Why Not?

Most every one is more or less
interested tn the immediate vi
cinity in which he lives. Every
good live progressive citizen has
in his veins, blood that tingles
with somewhat of local pride.
This is as it should be and espe-
cially at this period of our his
tory when there rests upon every
man, woman and child a serious
duty and obligation to discharge.
We have heard much and have
read much about War Saving and
Thrift Stamps and their le S.
We have discussed the matter
with many and especially with
those directly interested in the
sales of these stamps. Fulton
County is by no means a Stacker in
this movement but to say that all
parts of the county have done a
full share of the work, would, be
saying something that at the test
could hardly be substantiated.
To say that all its citizens have
responded to this call would be
statement that would not b e ar
the acid test.
Fulton County stands at latest
report in nineteenth place. This
means that nineteen counties of
this state have sold more-or
rather bought more-per capita,
than has Fulton County. We
want this county to change its
place in the line, but it m US t
move forward and not back.
Have you been helping! VIII
you help? Will you see that your
part of the county is represented
in this movement? Will you see
that it has a representation in
every weekly report? You can.
Will you?
If you do not understand about
these stamps, see your loca
postmaster. He will tell you
about it. You can get the infol :
nation and stamps from him.
Next week we will publish in
this paper the number of stamps
that have been sold at each post.
office in this county up to, and
including sales of May 4th. 1918.
Watch for your record.

New Sugar Ruling.

The Federal Food Admins
traitor of Pennsylvania announced
last Friday that retail dealers
may sell sugar to consumers in
towns and cities in quantities of
two or four pounds, depending
upon the size of the family. In
rural communities it may be sold
in five to ten-pound lots. This
ruling is made that a stock of
sugar may be saved up for the
canning season.

Bat Little Change.

out last Saturday by Henry
Clews, one of New York City's
leading bankers and brokers, the
following extracts are taken:
80 far as the war is concern
ed, the week showed little
change. The Germans are appa-
rently about to initiate another
intensive drive against the British
which may or may not bring criti-
cal results. Should Amiens fall,
the result will be discouraging
and will prolong the war, but such
an event would be of no perma-
nent Importance. The next few
days will decide. Among theAllies
the undertone of confidence is
unmistakable, the recent set
backs having distinctly stiffened
rather than weakened their NOR
ale. The remarkable steadiness
of British Government bonds is
clearly due to this confidence in
high financial circles here a n d
abroad. There can be no peace
until Germany is beaten and sur
renders. That is now the sur
preme American objective, quite
as much as that of our Allies.
There is well founded anxiety for
the future of Holland, which is
in a sorry position, fastened in
between the two sides of tn e
titanic conflict. American SYM
pathy goes out to Holland, also
the hope that she will not b e
drawn into the vortex. No coun-
try has more to lose or less to
gain than Holland, and no CONN.,
try has a more splendid record in
the historic struggle fof liberty.
Great Britain has just set US
an astonishing example of ma
tional grit and readiness to make
every sacrifice for victory by an
nouncing a budget of over S4, 200,
600, 600, the greatest in the his
tory of the world. This m g.
nificent sum is to be raised en-
tirely within Great Britain by a
population of only 48, 900, 900 of
people, British war expenses
for the coming year are estimated
at $14, 900, 900, 900, of which near
ly one-third will be paid out of
taxation. The British debt now
stands at 500, 600, 900. 900, includ-
ing So, 900, 000,0O0 loaned to the
Allies. Our own expenses dur
ing the first year of the war have
been about $40, 900, 900, 900, near
ly one-half of this representing
loans to our Allies. Our popula-
ton is approximately ITO, 900, 0O0.
This coming year our expenses
will surely be much larger than
the sum just named, and we are
raising only about IA per cent by
taxation, the remaining sc per
cent being provided for by bonds.
1t Great Britain after nearly four
years of war with her smaller
population and resources can sue
cessfully stand such a hu g e
strain, as she certainly is, there
is no need to feel any anxiety
concerning the ability of the Uni
ted States, which has a mu C h
larger population, much greater
resources and has not yet been
wearied by prolonged struggle.
America can strike a mighty
blow, and it will be only Ger
many's fault if it comes with
crushing force.

Red Cross Work.

Mrs. Myrtle Mann Resley, a
former Fulton County teacher,
writing from her home at Warn
err. So. Dak., says: II wonder
what Bethel township is doing in
Red Cross work. as | see but lit
tie about it, and you know Bethel
is dear to my heart. Unicn
township seems to be busy. The
Red Cross Auction has worked
wonders in this state. Every vii
lage and town in our county,
in fact, nearly all through
the state, has had a Red
Cross Auction. Ramona had one
q few days ago at which they
raised seven thousand dollars.
Ramona is village of $50 people,
not so much larger than War
fordsburg, but every man, woman
and child was on the job. The
articles offered for sale compris-
ed goods of various kinds, includ-
ing live stock, seed grain, mer-
chandise, ETC., all contributed
by the people of the village and
the surrounding community.
Among the high records made
were the following: One cake,
$3.50; one-half dozen eggs, $l2l;
seven Saturday Evening Posts,
$2S; one egg, $l25; one lawn
swing. $125: one large American
flag, $265; two silver dollars held
in the hands of the twin sons of
Mr.. and Mrs. Grayson, $l40; a
five-dollar bill, $780,"
We thank Mrs. Resley for her
suggestions and her manifest in
terest in her old home county.
While Bethel has been a little
slow to warm up to the Red Cross
Work, a most enthusiastic war
meeting was held at Cedar Grove
church last Sunday afternoon, at
which time $S,55O.00 worth of
Liberty bonds were subscribed
for, and in the evening, a Red
Cross meeting was held at Need
more.
In McConnellsburg, the ladies
are still pushing the entertain
ment feature, with the result
that $172 so have been raised.

sums raised, since our published
