fulton Freed from Toll.

The last toll road in Fulton
County was consigned to
oblivion last Thursday, when the
State and the respective counties
took over the Waynesboro, Green
castle, and Mercersburg turn
pike, that intersects with the
Lincoln Highway at the east end
of McConnellsburg. This infor-
nation will be hailed with de-
light by our people. This road
has been in an abominably bad
condition for several years, and
yet, tourists were held up at re-
gular intervals, and the full
amount of toll exacted.
The turnpike company receiv-
ed something like $50, 90 for
the road. Of this sum, the State
paid one-half, Franklin County,
$24,612.00 and Fulton about
$600.00.
The road will be put in good
condition just as rapidly as funds
are available, and all the traffic
for Mercersburg, Greencastle,
Hagerstown, Baltim re and
Washington, will be DETECTED
from the Lincoln Highway a
McConnellsburg, instead o. hav,
ing to go via Chambersburg, as
heretofore.

NOT ENOUGH FARMERS

Students From City, Says !.
G. A. ketcham.

While the Missoula county high
school is very anxious to cooperate
with Professor NJ. g.. Abbey of the State
College. of Agriculture and Mechanic
Art ,,iii his proposed plan to register
the boys and girls of the state high
schools in clubs for the raising of food
stuffs. canning vegetables and raising
Of pigs and chickens for market, the
school authorities here have found it
impossible to start such clubs as yet
this year. 10
There are many obstacles in the
way of starting such clubs among the
high school pupils in Missoula," said
G. A. Ketcham, principal of the high
school. There are very few of the
boys in the school who come from
farms. The majority live in the city
and such clubs would be Of slight value
TO them. Indeed. they might not be
undertaken at all by many Of the boys.
Then there have been SO many extra
things related to the war situation
which we have promoted among the
high school students tnis year and
which. have demanded their time and
efforts that we could not easily put
more on them at this time.
Abbey to Speak Here.
However. we have asked that Pro-
fessuf Abbey come here and talk TO our
students and see what might be done.
We are only too glad to do all that we
can to promote this excellent scheme.
We expect that he will be here some
time in the near future and then we
are going to do what we can to aid in
the work Of food production by means
Of these gardens"
Tho proposed plan to establish clubs
among the high school students of the
state by Professor M. j. Abbey of
Bozemau is an extension of the club
work which was carried on last sum
mer by the boys and girls in the graded
schoolo Of the state. Half acres of land
are put under cultivation to raise po-
tatoes, corn. wheat and vegetables. II
sufficient children enroll in the work
1t Is planned to have the high school
employ supervisors to instruct them
during the summer.

A wooden.legged recruit and another
candidate with only one arm turned up
in middle west cantonment the other
day. Some day an enterprising local
board win draft the parish pump. 1t
must be said for the county boards in
Vermont that the percentages of in
eligibles sent to camp has been very
small. The figures are not at hand, but
we suspect that Washington and Orange
counties stand well to the fore. Confic-
tion Of orders has often been responsible
for the appearance in camp of men ply
sically unfit for military duty, yet in
many cases the county boards have only
followed instructions, and the ultimate
rejection of the men at the cantonment
has been traced to change in tests
which the rule book underwent while the
recruit was in transit.
