Don't Sell Your Bond.

Your Liberty Bond-whether it
is for $50 or $500 is your savings.
To sell it is to lose your savings.
The longer you keep the bond,
the more valuable it is going to
be.
1t does no good to Uncle Sam
to subscribe to his loan, and then
sell the amount of your SUBJ
scription. Many Of us have
strained ourselves to buy the
bonds, and necessity may force
some of US to get some of the
money back. But the way to do
this is not to sell a bond. Dis
honest sharpers will take your
bonds and give you say eighty
dollars for the one hundred.
If you must have money go to
reliable bank. 1t VIII lend you
ninety dollars on the hundred,
and the interest on your bond
will nearly pay the interest on
the money they lend you. Then
by paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are
making money for you while you
hold them. Two years after the
war ends they will be worth, it
is estimated, $l10. If the war
ends in three years or under you
will then be receiving six and a
quarter per cent. ON the surest
investment in the world.

MOTOR POST SERVICE.
Through Service Between McCOuneIlS-
burg, Washington and Baltimore
DAILY Except Sunday.

A new postal service, which
will mean much to McConnells-
burg and vicinity as well as to
residents living along the Lincoln
Highway and adjacent thereto
between McConnellsburg and
Gettysburg, has been inaugura-
ted and was put into operation
Tuesday morning. 1t consists of
an automobile of regulation gov
ernment design, and make a
round trip between McConnells-
burg and Gettysburg daily except
Sunday. Leaving McConnells-
burg at Z a. M, it reaches Get
tysburg at noon, where it con-
meets closely with the motor post
that has been operating for sew
eral months between that town
and Baltimore and Washington.
The new service carries all
classes of mail, but its especial
usefulness is in the transporta-
ton of parcels. Eggs, fruit, but
ter, ETC., sent by parcel post will
reach the City the same day it
leaves McConnellsburg. The
primary object Of the motor post,
which is now operating success
fully in many parts of the coun-
try, is to bring the city, and the
country, residents closer togeth-
er and to facilitate the dispatch
of products from the producer to
the consumer. The new service
was scheduled to go into effect
Monday morning, but the new
truck came from Pittsburgh and
did not reach McConnellsburg in
time to go on the job Monday.
John McLucas, who has been
driving for Max Sheets for a long
time, has charge of the new mail
truck.

HONOR ROLL.
Names of New Subscribers and Others
Who Paid Subscription During The
Month Of Roses.

Half the year 1918 has been
spent. How time does roll alongl
The days are getting shorter.
The almanac says so. And the
almanac must be right. for there
were some things we intended
to do yesterday that did not get
done-just because the day was
not long enough. But such is
life. There were a few people
who fully intended that their
names should be on this Honor
Roll-but just put off sending in
the dingbats until it was too late.

month. Just glance down over
the list and see the name, Of a

Second Red Cross Drive.

With the closing day of June,
ended the Second Red Cross
Drive, and the result has been
very gratifying to Hon. D. H.
Patterson, Chairman of the Full
ton County Campaign. Most of
US have not forgotten that the
First Red Cross Drive was made
a year ago, and when reports
came in from over the County and
we had a sum of abont thirteen
hundred dollars, we felt that Full
ton had done herself proud. With
the closing of the Second Drive
last week, it was found that
more than three times that sum
has been given-and given much
more cheerfully-given in most
cases as a privilege of making a
slight sacrifice for the war, and
not as tax.
Mr.. Patterson, the chairman,
feels very grateful to the patri-
otic helpers all over the County
that made it possible for Fulton
to occupy a rank among its sister
counties of which it needs not be
ashamed.
The service flag offered to the
township that should raise the
largest sum Of money was won
by Wells which, of course, does
not lay any claims to being the
largest or wealthiest township in
the County.
The flag, which was made by
Miss Mollie S. Seylar, and the
letters and Red Cross painted by
our talented young artist Miss
Elizabeth Taylor is a Butte" and
well worth the effort made to get
it
While it may be noticed that
the borough of McConnellsburg
raised few more dollars than
Wells, it was only the townships
that participated in the contest
for the flag.

naming period of the war. The fact
that a user or handler has sugar on
hand sufficient to meet his present
requirements, not only does not re-
lieve him from this obligation but
failure to make the statement lays
him liable to the penalties for hoard
ing under the law.
All sugar in excess of three
months supply at the rate of con-
sumption allowed to each concern
will be taken over by the Food Ad
ministrator and redistributed at
once. Any sugar in excess of thirty
days needs must be held subject to
the Food Administrators order for
distribution if necessary.
Any attempt to accumulate sugar
between now and July lst will lead
to trouble and will be interpreted as
boarding, which is punishable by
fine and Imprisonment.
Sugar reports by persons in
Group A. must also show how much
sugar they used in July, August and
September 1917. They will get GER
titicates based on 30 per cent of
such average use. Ice cream manu-.
facturers will get IS per cent except
soda fountain operators who make
their own ice cream; they will only
receive about so per cent.
A certificate will be issued sepa-
rately for each months purchases.
Commercial Gamers ct. (Group
b J will receive certificates for neces-
sary requirments, but must notresell,
(under penalty of forfeiting license
for the duration of the war; except
by the permission of the Food Ad-
ministrator.
In Group c. (all public eating
places sugar will be allowed on the
basis of three pounds for each 80
meals served.
Bakers will get sugar certificates
for 20 per cent of the average a.
mount they used in July, August
and September 1917, or 70 per cent
of that used in June 1918.
Retail stores will receive, for their
July purchases, certificates based on
the average of sugar sold in the
months of April, May and June 1918.
Retailers must not sell to anyone ex
cept upon certificates, and must not
sell more than two pounds at once
to anyone in the city or five pounds
to any one in the country districts.
Persons buying sugar for canning
and preserving must agree to return
all sugar bought for that purpose
and not so used.
Hotels and restaurants which do
not observe other food regulations
may loose their sugar supply.
1t will be noted that bakers, who
heretofore, did not need certificates
to buy sugar, must have them now.
All retailers must post copies of
the new sugar orders, as they affect
the householder in their stores.
The above rules are now in force
in Fulton County and this is official
notice to all persons interested.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.
New and sweeping sugar reg
ulations have been issued by
Howard Heinz, U. S. Food Ad-
ministrator for Pennsylvania,
following advices from Washing
ton as to the growing seriousness
of the situation with regard to
the worlds sugar supply. The
new rules are more stringent
than any heretofore put in force,
and they affect every man, wo-
man and child in the state. More
over, Mr.. Heinz sets forth with
emphasis that rigid enforcement
of the regulations will be insist
ed upon, that ignorance will not
be accepted as an excuse, and
that violators will be severely
punished.
County Administrators have
received minute and detailed in
structions about the new rules
and enforcement thereof.
The most important features
of the new sugar code follow.
Householders are urged, as a
patriotic duty. to limit table con-
sumption to 3 pounds per per-
son per month, or as much less as
possible.
Retailers must not sell more
than two pounds to any one per-
son at any one time in the city
and 5 in the county districts,
except for canning and preserv-
ing purposes.
Sugar for canning and pre-
serving may be bought and sold
in lots not exceeding % pounds
only on a new form of certificates
soon to be issued.
All commercial users and hand
lers of sugar are divided into 5
classes, for each of whic h
stringent and binding regulations
are laid down. These classes
are:
A. Manufacturers of candy, soft
drinks, chewing gum, choo-
olate, cocoa, tobacco, flaw.
oring extracts, invert sugar,
syrups, sweet pickles, wines,
ETC., and operators of soda
fountains.
b. Commercial Gamers of fruits,
vegetables, or milk. Makers of
glyceriue or explosives, and
manufacturers using sugar for
medicinal purposes.
C. Hotels, restaurants clubs, din
ing cars, steamships, hospitals,
public institutions, and all 9th.
er public eating places, in which
term are included all boarding
houses which take care of 25
or more persons.
d. Bakers and cracker manufac.
urers of all kinds.
Z. Retail store and others selling
for direct consumption.
All persons, in all these classes,
must, on or before July l5, make a
statement, upon 4 form provided by
the State Food ADMINISTRATOR, snow
ing all sugar they hold or have in
transit on July lst.
Failure to make statements on or
before July l5 will deprive such
user or handler of the right to buy
additional sugar during the balance
of the year 1918 and possibly, un-
der some circumstances, for the re-

STETTINIUS TO
BE AIR CHIEF
IN NEW PLAN
Shakeup Impending Similar
to That in the Emergency
Fleet Corporation

Washington, April 1S.-A shakeup
in the Aircraft Production Board
similar to that in the Emergency
Fleet Corporation is impending.
Howard A. Coffin, chairman of the
Board. is to be superseded in author
ity. E. r. Stettinius, Assistant Sec
retary of War, is the man most like
ly to succeed to Mr.. Coffins respon-
sibilities.
If Stettinius shall be named. it is
probable his authority also will ex-
tend over the work of the Signal
Corps and that, in a general way, he
will rank Brigadier General George
o. Squier, who, as head of the Signal
Corps, has been supervising the pro-
duction of aircraft in this country.
Henry Ford, ]. p. Morgan and other
notable administrators have been
suggested besides Stettinius, but per-
sons who are conversant with the
trend of events predict that the
President will select the Assistant
Secretary of War.
Only one consideration, in the
opinion of those who are on the in
side, will operate against the selec-
tion of Mr.. Stettinius. That is his
efficiency in the broader field he now
occupies. Opposed to that considera-
tion, however. is the fact that he has
specialized in the study of the air.
craft situation since entering the
War Department. He has worked in
defatigably with Mr.. Coffin analyz-
ing all the reports that come to the
Aircraft Production Board and max
ing Investigations at first hand of
the numerous problems. both large
and small. that come before that
body. Also. he has worked for long
stretches and in perfect understand
ing with General Squier and his sub
ordinates on the Signal Corps.
