FULTON COUNTY NEWS Published Every Thursday. B. if. PSOK, Editor and Proprietor McCONNELLSBURG, f A. APRIL 23, 1914 Published Weekly. 1.00 per Annum in Advance. War Has Begun. As we go to press, the latest news from Mexico is to the effect that war between the United States and that country began on the afternoon of April 21st, when marines from our Atlantic fleet landed and seized the city of Vera Cruz. Four American bluejack ets killed and twenty wounded constituted our loss. Estimated loss by Mexicans, 200. It is pre sumed that our war vessels will proceed at once to blockade all Mexican ports. Political Advertisements. Mountain Fires. The season for annual forest fires is with us. These fires are about all that stand between us and the reforesting of our moun tain sides. What a grand thing it would be if fire never again swept the sides of our grand old hills! What a wealth of timber would once again tlothe them if these destructive flames could be controlled and they can. Most of our public troubles are permitted to continue from the spirit of. "Its-none-of-my-busi-ness." It is claimed by many that the mountains are purposely set on fire in most of the cases. The reasons are many and well known. In almost every case certain parties are strongly sus pected; but the none-of-my-busi-ness spirit steps in and nothing is done to punish the guilty. It is your business, and it is our business to take a hand in ridding communities of petty pests that public opinion has branded as nuisances in a neighborhood, whether it be for thieving, set ting mountains on Are, or for whatever evil they do. The law speaks in no uncertain terms about what shall be done to the person convicted of setting the woods afire. FOR THE LEGISLATURE. To The Democratic Voters of Fulton County. After having received so much encouragement, I feel that I would bo shirking my duty if I did not offer myself as a candi date for the nomination for the General Assembly the second term, a3 anyone knows full well that a man elected to a second term has more influence, and can serve his constituents better the second term than he possibly can the first time. I, therefore, announce myself as a .candidate for the General Assembly, Subject to the decision of the Democratic voters at the primary election to be held May 19, 1914, respectfully ask the support of the voters, and pledge myself to support the ticket nom inated. I also pledge myself, if nominated and elected, to do as I have done in the past discharge my duty fearlessly and honestly, and work hard for the best inter est of the people of Fulton Coun ty and the State. Respectfully yours, GEO. B. MELLOTT. and every motion of his lips and listen to every word until finally he drops off to sleep simply be cause he has watched so steadily gazed so intently that he hypno tized himself. If the woman does not grasp the meaning of the sermon so readily, if her mentality is not quite so keen and quick, one could think she would fall asleep. But the fact remains that she has plenty to interest her. A man cannot look about the church and be interested in John Jones' cra vat or William Smith's vest, or Sam White's cuff buttons. He doesn't care anything about them but a woman will sit quietly in church, she will hear what the minister is saying without giving much thought to it, but she will be interested in everything every other woman is wearing, and there is enough to keep her just moderately entertained and wide awake. Keep Cool. Our readers will be kept pretty well posted on the progress of the war in Mexico by turning to page two of the News each week. The New York World advises that everybody keep cool in re gard to what this country should do with the bad neighbor on the south, and that there .is nothing in the present situation to war rant an outburst of popular pas sion. The World goes on to say "Sixteen years ago the American people were shrieked into a war which they entered with no real ization whatever of the conse quences. They are not likely to be shrieked into another war. Senator Borah may run up the American flag and keep it over Mexico forever, but the annexa tion of 13,000,000 Indians and half-breeds is not a prospect that appeals eloquently to the common sense of the average American. We may have to police Mexico, but the less we have to do with that country the less we will have to regret afterwards." Wby Women Do Not Sleep in Church. It is doubtful if one woman to a thousand men go to sleep in church, says the National Sun day Magazine, and people have long held an entirely wrong im pression of this. It has been said that the men are a bit more stu pid, that they do not pay enough attention to the sermon, or do not comprehend it sufficiently to re tain their interest, and hence get sleepy. It has also been said that women are brighter, quick er to understand and have more self-control, and so do not lose interest and close their eyes in slumber while the minister is Dreachine. But all this is quite wrong. A German professor has been mak inz a study of the problem and he declares that men fall asleep in church because they do pay more attention to the sermon than do the women. Further he declares the average woman doe3 not begin to grasp the purport of the sermon, that she is far slow er of understanding than man. The man will watch the minis ter everv minute, he will con centrate all his mind upon the preacher and what he is saying, he will watch his every gesture S1DELIN0 HILL John Correll, of York, Pa. is upending several days with rela tives and friends in this county. Misses Frances and Jessie hn gle, of Locust Grove, and Pearl Crawford and brothers, of Ama ranth, recently visited the Misses Csrnell. G. M. Belt, of Franklin Mills, wus a business visitor to this community Saturday of last week. Mrs. Jeremiah Golden and Mrs William Dielbiss, of Dott, visit ed Mrs. George Gray a few days ago. Mr. Cramer Barnhart, of Frank I'm Mills, is moving onto Job Gar land a farm. There will be a business meet ing at Cedar Grove Church next Saturday afternoon. James Mellott and wife spent a day recently with Charles Hess and family. Nellie Hill has returned to her home after having spent some time with her sister Mrs. Bennet Robinson at Hancock. Samuel Carnell, of Dott, has purchased a new Ford automo bile. Misses Nela Palmer and Lena Barnhart and Pierce Kelso all of Pigeon Cove, spent Sunday at the home or Mrs. Nora Alters. Miss Connie Hess visited friends at Dott Sunday. Mrs. John II. 11. Lewis -of Franklin Mills continues poorly. WELLS TANNERY. Steam-Dried Bay. Each year finds the farmer more of a mechanic, as machine after machine appears to take the place of the decreasing sup ply of manual labor. The up-to-date farm now has its machine shop and farmer machinist. The farmer complains that for five years past he has been obliged constantly to purchase new labor saving machinery. On the other hand, had it not been for these new inventions, many would have been obliged to go out of busi ness. The latest thing is steam-cured hay, which makes the farmer in dependent of cloudy or rainy weather in haying time. The green grass is hauled to the hay factory, unloaded at one end of the plant and, 30 minutes later, emerges at the other end per fectly cured, ready for the barn or bale press. In case of rain, a canvas cover insures arrival at the barn with-out wetting. The farmer has about given up his time-honored trip to the "grist mill," and here comes the hay mill. Frequent showers make good grass, but much of this 3 ruined in the process of sun-drying. The steam drier is indepen dent of weather, and moreover turns out a better product, and can work nights. Maud Muller might get a job checking the loads, but there isn't very much romance about watching the steam gauge and a lot of convey or belts. H. H. Windsor, in the May Popular Mechanics Maga zine.
