In The Good Old Long Ago.

In striking contrast with the
present prices of farm products
are those of the first week in De-
cember forty years ago. Bat e

were 27 and 2S cents a dozen.
These were considered very high
prices. Turkeys ran from IL to
IA cents a pound and chickens
were the same prices. Sausage
was II and Is cents and scrapple
7 cents a pound. Potatoes sold
at from 40 to so cents bushel,
while turnips were rs cents. A
dressed hog was worth from 5 to
6 cents a pound and lard was 6
cents. A first class hind quarter
of beef was sold at 8 cents a
pound and front quarters were Z
cents. Lower qualities were 5
and 6 cents pound. Lancaster

Young Men Have Their Troubles.

George S. Mellott and son Fos-
ter of Sipes Mills were in town
last Saturday. Foster is one of
the draftees of this county, and
a week or more ago, received his
QUESTIONABLE, which he filled up
and fired back to the board.
Then, he betook himself off to
the western part of the State to
spend sometime visiting h is
brothers at Ambridge. He had
scarcely gotten his overcoat off
out there until he received a tele-
gram to report at McConnells-
burg. Of course, he reported,
which took but a few minutes
when he came before the Board,
and then returned to Ambridge
to complete his visit, unless he
meets with an unexpected inter
ruption again.

Harry Bender, a member of
76 Co., 9th Reg. Am. Ex. Force
somewhere in France" in a re-
cent letter to his grandfather,
Martin M. Bender, says, did
you have a nice THANKSGIVING
Day? | had a fine time. We had
races and an athletic meet in the
morning between platoons of our
company; then. a good big tur-
key dinner. Perhaps you do not
know what a turkey dinner
means in an army camp? Here's
the menu: Roast turkey. bread
filling, cranberry sauce, baked
sweet potatoes, lettuce, apples,
raisin pie, and cigars. After
dinner we had a base ball game
in which our company won.
will look for an answer soon.

Inspiring Christmas Exercises.

The Union Christmas Services
of Whips Cove and Jerusalem
Christian Churches was held in
the Jerusalem Church on Christ
mas eve. The pleasant evening
brought a nice congregation; but
what was still nicer than that,
was the rendering of the service.
1t was truly spiritual throughout,
and not a service of the coming
of old Santa Claus, as some are,
but it was a service of the COM
ing of the CHRIST the KING, and
the receiving of him into the
heart that makes the life useful.
Though the service lasted nearly
three hours, yet was the order
excellent. All who attended eth
er of the Sunday Schools received
a treat, and the most hearty good
will prevailed. So complete was
the cooperating of the two schools
that it was difficult for the pas
tor to distinguish the one from
the other-in fact, they were
one-one in heart to glorify God
in the remembrance of his best
gift to men, and this we are sat
isfed they succeeded in doing,
for it was one of grand success.
The superintendents and mana
gers are to be commended for
their skill and management.
The schools remembered the
two superintendents and pastor
vii a sealed envelope that con-
TAN ed a sum of money, which
was received with great appreci-
alton. Every body seemed to
have caught tie true Christmas
Spirit and we trust that it will
last all through the year, and
years. May God bless the Sab
bath Schools, is the prayer of the
pastor.

To Cut Salaries.

Director General McAdoo ex-
poets within the next year to cut
millions of dollars from the pay
rolls of the railroads. Included
in those to suffer will be railroad
presidents. freight solicitors, and
expert financial agents paid large
salaries for their money getting
powers. Many others will either
have to be transferred, to step
out for the duration Of the war,
or be listed with the dollar-a-
year men.
General division officers on the
railroads of the country last year
received S53, 200,6 or two per
cent. of the money paid to all
railway employees. All others
received 81, 4l2. $40, 100 or an av.
erage of 1868. SO per person per
year. Four big railroad presi-
dents receive $75. 600 a year, ten
receive $50, 900, while others are
scaled down between $25, 900 and
$780, 600.
Millions spent in great national
advertising campaigns of the

ENEMIES IN THE HOME.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., L. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.


The modern method of pre-
pairing drugs for family use has
its attractions, yet it has been
the cause Of many deaths. often
from the fact that 80 many drugs
are put up in form and color to
resemble each other. One may
be innocent, and the other dead
ly poison; as for instance, cal
omel, an innocent form of
mercuy, and bichloride of mercury
one Of the most deadly of pois
ons.
One Of these drugs mig. be
picked up for the other in the
dark or even in the day time, if
the label was not carefully read
by the one seeking to take the
medicine. This has resulted in
an innocent father killing his
child or perhaps his wife, or in
some cases, himself.
Another great mistake is to
change a drug from one bottle to
another without altering the la
bel. 1t is often done in dividing
up the contents of a rare drug
with neighbor. The one re-
ceiving the unlabeled bottle de-
pends upon his memory, which
often fails him and a fatal mis-
take results.
A very short time ago / knew
of a generous doctor dividing up
rare drug he had with on. of
his colleagues. intending to label
the bottle he kept for himself.
He neglected to do so and not
long after he wanted to use the
drug and picked up what he be-
lieved to be the proper bottle,
but which proved to contain an
agent active in its power to de-
stroy tissue. This he dropped
into his eye and only escaped
having his eye destroyed by a
narrow margin.
Now this is quite a common
mistake and people have been
made blind by this carelessness.
Drugs that are most useful are,
as a rule, most dangerous, and
should always be kept under
lock and key and plainly labeled.
At present we are being robbed
enough of the members of our
families during the war so that
we should have no patience with
the killing of the innocent at
home by simple carelessness, and
it is this common everyday prac-
tice of confusing drug bottles
that | warn you against. 1t can
all be done away with if you will
only give it reasonable attention.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
The Home Of Mr.. and Hrs. David N.
Kendall The Scene Of a Delightful
Social Occasion.

The last hours of the last day
of the last year marked the fif-
tieth anniversary of the marriage
of David M. and Lydia Troup
Kendall, and the event was de-
lightfully celebrated in their COM
Portable home on West Market
street on Monday evening.
The guests numbering almost
half a hundred were composed
largely Of those persons who had
experienced golden weddings or
were living in hope of pulling
one off on their own account
within the next very few years.
AS the bunch was looked over, it
was found that Hon. and Mrs.
d. Hunter Patterson were the
next eligible candidates, Tommy
and Mrs. Hamil and B. w. Peck
and wife following in easy sue
cession. But there's many a
slip, and consequently, none of
these named has any notion of
issuing invitations until nearer
the time.
The formal exercises were
opened by prayer by the pastor
of the worthy host and hostess,
Rev. W. V. Grove, of the u. P.
Church. Hon. d. Hunter Pat
terson, who is postmaster at
the business, performed the du-
ties of toastmaster, and neat
little speeches were made by Rev.
j. Leidy Yearick, Rev. C. F.
Jacobs, Rev. Ed Jackson, Rev.
j. L.. Grove, Attorney John 2.
Sipes, and the editor of the
News. When this bunch was
through with them, MIR. and Mrs.
Kendall were very sure that they
had performed a mission in life
much beyond the privilege of
most people, and doubly assured
that the guests present really
wished that the lives and
health Of the good couple might
be spared twenty-five more years
and that they as guests might be
on hand to help celebrate their
Diamond wedding.

Going TO India.

Miss Helen Mccain Kendall
spent a few days during the past
week visiting among her relatives
and friends in town and the Cove.
Miss Kendall is a native of Ayr
township, being a daughter of
the late William and Hattie Ken
dali. A few years ago her heart
became deeply impressed with
the thought that she should give
her life work to the cause of
Foreign Missions. Carrying this
determination into execution, she
completed a course in Bible Mis-
sionary Study, graduating from
Wooster College, O., 1914. Fol-
lowing this preparation, she took
a three years course in Presby-
terian Hospital Training School
for Nurses in New York City and
graduated from that institution
in 1917. She was Immediately
assigned by the Board Of Foreign
Missions of the Presbyterian
Church to India where she will
be engaged in hospital work at
Mirsj, two hundred miles south
of Bombay.
Miss Kendall expects to sail
from San Francisco on the 23rd
of this month on the S. S. Korea
Maru, and reach India by the
Pacific route.
1t was in the northern part of
India (Allahabad) tn at Miss
Alice Wishart of Wells Tannery
spent several years.
In addition to Miss Wishart
and Miss Kendall, just mention
ed, Fulton County has to her
credit the following missionaries:
Mrs. Humphries (Maude Baum
gardner, W ellis Tannery) in
China: Bertha Grove, McCon-
nellsburg, in Egypt; Charlie
Pittman, McConnellsburg, in Per-
sia; John H. Reisner, McCon.

Cd Fashioned Winter

We are having one of those
winters cur grandfathers tell us
about. FIR number of SHOWS,
quantity of precipitation, low tenn
perature, AID scarcity and high
price of fuel this has 'em all
skinned. TIE winter program
was opened on the 25th of Octo-
hor, unusally early for this coun-
by the falling of a snow rang
rom nine inches in the val
leya % "A and 20 inches on the
highet grounds.
During trc first twenty days
of Noven bel, here was no pre-
cipitatian, ana ian got well
on with their corr aSing and
fall ploughing. From the latter
part of November to the pre-
sent time the tenn erature has
been much below normal, and
the ground has been cover
ed with snow most of the
time. During the month of De-
cember the temperature at Nc
,Connellsburg averaged 8 degrees
above zero at 6 o'clock in the
morning, and % at noon. The
highest temperature registered
during the month was 49, and
the, lowest 10 below-last Sunday
morning.
There has been great loss in
the freezing of potatoes and can
ned fruit stored in cellars, and
there is an alarming scarcity OF
fuel.
