E. church will hold a festival in the grove near the church, Saturday evening, June 27th. Every one cordially invited. The band concert and festival on Saturday evening, netted about fifty dollars. After the crowd had eaten as much as it wished, the cakes that were left were walked off. The latter di version was kept up until after ten o'clock, to the amusement of a large lot of spectators. Kl'ST BELIEVE IT. We have many subscribers who would be pleased to hear from any who have succeeded in get ting a stand of alfalfa on slate lands. Alfalfa endures drought better than clover, and it would not require very much more en couragement for some of our slate land farmer friends to try it. Frank Mason has sold the re cently purchased "Miller" farm near Dublin Mills, to Harmon L. Cromwell; consideration $1,850. 00 and Russell Souders of Tod township this county bought Cromwell's farm; consideration $1,600.00. Both parties intend moving to their new home soon. B. E. Stevens, a former Fulton county man, but now farming in Dauphin county, about fourteen miles north-east of Harrisburg, spent a few days here last week, and made sure of getting the News for another year. Nice showers came in the nick of time to save the hay crop of this section. One of Licking Creek's relia ble citizens, John B. Sipes, greet ed friends in town last Thursday. Mr. Sipes belongs to the old school of make-hay-while-the-sun shines, and seldom comes -1 o town. Mr. Sipes is a veteran of the Civil War, and was a mess mate of our townsman James W. Rummell. As if to show that the United States could .produce as many novelties as any other country, Mt. Lassen, California, began a short time ago to emit smoke from the top of its snow clad peak, and it is now in daily eruption, send ing up a 2, 000-foot column of cin der, ashes and smoke for periods of a half-hour. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Dickinson and their interesting little son William, of Buffalo, N. Y., have been spending the past week with relatives in McConnellsb ur g. Contractors are busy at work erecting a modern dwelling house for them in a nice part of the City which Mr. and Mrs. Dickson expect to occupy early in the fall. If there i3 any one thing that gets on a man's nerves, more than anything else, it is for some to hitch a horse to carefully pre served shade trees, and have the. horse disfigure the bark forever. It requires years to grow a shade tree, and the owners of such hor ses are liable for damage. Be thoughtful of where horses are hitched. While picking cherries at the Runyan home recently Frank Ramsey decided the ladder route was a little slow and he rode down to the ground on a limb from the top of the tree. The limb had four quarts of nice cher ries picked from it after bringing Frank down. Luckily he was un injured. He made the trip in a very short time, but he said it seemed like a long time. Our Licking Creek correspon dent points a rosy view of the future accommodations for foot sore (tire-sore) pilgrims along the great Lincoln Highway . in Fulton county. We trust that he is a true seer, and that the old proverb "Blessed are they that expect nothing, and they will not be disappointed," will not apply to his case. There is abundant demand for just such accommodations out there. When Well-Known Monnellsbnrg Peo ple Tell It so Plainly. When public endorsement is made by a representative citizen of McConnellsburg the proof is positive. You must believe it. Read this testimony. Every suf ferer of kidney backache, every man, woman or child with kidney trouble will do woll to read the following: J. (J. Rre, Water St., McCon nellsburg, Pa., says: "About a year ajjo I caught a severe cold which settled across the small of my back. My kidneys troubled me badly at times and the kidney sefcrotions were painful and ir regular in passage at night. I felt lame and stiff, and there was swelling in my limbs and wrists 1 had a doctor at the time. " but his treatment didn't give me much relief. My brother who keeps a general store in Knobs- ville insisted on me trying Doan's Kidney Pills. I did, and one box gave me reiier. 'me palts soon left my back, and 1 haveu't had any trouble since. I am never without Doan's Kidney Pills." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Fore had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Bat falo, N. Y. the healthful in Nature. It un ravels as logically and as syste matically as mathematics, and re veals to the inquiring mind more of God's evident plan in Nature than any other line of scientific study. A Word To Teachers. Teachers, tb speak advisedly when we say that tbe time is near when you. who can teach scientif ic agriculture will have prefer ence in country districts, over those who are ignorant of this subject. We have followed care fully the signs of the times, and we are sure that we rightly inter pret them. The attendance of thousands of young men in the agricultural departments of our educational institutions prove the demand for this kind of training. Agriculture has been reduced to an exact science, and is not difficult to study, if you already know the fundamentals of natur al philosophy. A few terms used in chemistry, that can be picked up during spare times, will great ly aid you in teaching the subject of scientific farming. We are all well aware that the necessity for this tudy has not yet taken hold upon the understanding of many ot the younger teachers, and it is for this reason that we call your attention to the demand of the times. Virgin soils, am ple hand-labor, and home sour ces of fertilizars, are things of the past and their lack must be met. Old things pass from ev ery profession your own inclu ded. Teachers of to-day are not of the type of our fathers' day. Agriculture is new, along with everything else. If you think there is nothing to learn in order to follow modern methods of proven value and ne cessity, answer to yourself the following questions; if you can explaiu them to your inquiring patrons, you can teach scientific agriculture: if not, well what then? What three principle plant con stituents enter into the provision which we now know must be made to offset their lack? Where can they be most economically obtained? What part does each play? How tell which ones a giv en field needs? What is humus? What is Na-1 ture's Jaw concerniug it? How supply it? What reply could you make to a scientific man if he asked you to explain the use of lime? ("To make things grow" is not the answer.) How many commercial forms of lime do we know? What is a legume? Wherein does it differ from any other plant? Define bacteria. In this con nection, explain why timothy can "catch" on soils where some le gumes cannot. What is grass? Is clover grass? Is corn grass? The foregoing hints to what a man should know in order to make best use of the soils as we now find them, are but a fraction of what could be asked if space permitted. Each and every one of them is vital to a country boy's education, if he intends to farm, lie cannot digest a single agri cultural bulletin from our exper iment stations if he do not un derstand at least that many points. You will be delighted, with the subject, if you have a taste for CLEAR RIDUB. ' Children's services were held here last Sunday. We feel that the managers deserve much praise tor the creditable manner in which the children were train ed to render their parts so well.

SALUVIA David Laidig, living near his brother John W. Ludi'', of Lii- dig, is dangerously ill with drop ay, and on ounaay, was report ed very bw. Lincoln I. Deshong who has been prostrated with rheumatism for some time was reported bet ter on Monday. Abram W. Deshong s recent report of the drought in this sec tion as published in the Nkws last week, is only too true. Much )f the winter grain is short in the straw and beading. Oitsishead ing scarcely over six inches high, and corn and potatoes are mak ing little progress. There is much complaint of a poor corn stand, owing partly to defective seed, and partly to the depreda tion of worms and ants. There was a little snower or rain on Friday, but it was accompanied by strong winds and was driven swiftly over, so that vegetation was merely dampened and the dust laid. It is too dry to plough. John b. bipe a new barn was raised on Friday. Thomas and William Mellott are the contractors. Jacob Sharp, of Knobsville, was a pleasant visitor among his former neighbors in this section, ast week. The future hotels along the great Lincoln Highway will not be booze-drinking places, but white painted houses on elevated ocations surrounded by wide porches and verandas, with spa cious dining rooms, well ventila ted sleeping quarters, extensive awns, and flowing water, where quietnessand health giving breez es prevail; where hungry and wayworn motor travelers may refresh and regale themselves with good wholesome food and pure water. Somebody will make ots of money right here, in Ful ton co.unty conducting such ho tels. Parties have already been negotiating for the location of such a hotel to be located at Creenhill, and your readers may hear of something doing before so many moons. Prior to May first last, farmers in i'uiton county nad bright prospects for an abundant hay crop; but owning to the extreme- y dry weather during the month of May, extending far into June, the crop has greatly shortened. Owing to the short crop last i year, no old hay was lelt over, and consequently prices for hay will be much higher than last year. But our farmers must not worry nor get pessimistic over it, Better do like our neighbor Ed Hendershot. cut and take care of what we have,, and make the best of circumstances. WI-ILS TANNERY.
