Sloan, 'treasurer of the Belgian Relief fund, received a dollar from a Union township teacher, whose pupils made the contribution. Neither the name of the school nor that of the teacher was given in the letter. The attention of persons need ing harness is directed to the ad vertisement of the Smith Broth ers in Mercersburg. Their place of business is down on west Seminary street and it will be worth your while to give them a call when in that town. Last Thursday evening, Rev. E. F. Mellott closed a series of meetings of eight nights at Oak ley church near Needmore, with three persons having accepted Christ as their Savior. Weather was fine, sledding good, and the meetings were attended by many people. James M. Chesnut, of Huston town, had the misfortune to lose one of his best horses about two weeks ago. The animal was in a run-off, and in turning a corner, another team was met and a shaft pierced it so that it had to be killed. Among the out-of-town people at the County Seat Tuesday, were William B. Ranck and Frank Ranck. of Bethel township. Will has been suffering for several months from a stubborn attack of rheumatism. Frank does not look like he needed any Stewart tablets to aid digestion.

First, the writer does not sign his or her name to the communi cation. Second; If we were to publish the names of the persons mentioned in the article, we might get a lickin. Thirdly and lastly, the writer might get a lickin. 1 Farmer's Week. (Continued from first page.) Frank Hoke, of Montgomery county, son of our former neigh bor Will Hoke, was one of the half-dozen prize winners of his county, and was in attendance at this meeting. In the absence of a . resident County Agent, the County Su perintendent of schools i3 asked to do the work, and many Coun ty Superintendents made splen did records. In our neighboring county of Franklin, County Su perintendent Smith had a large club, and nine boys of his club won free trips to this convention, attended it, and went to their homes overflowing with enthusi asm for the possibilities of suc cess open to farmers. Is there any good reason why Fulton County should not have corn clubs. Fulton County boys can do anything that any other boys can do -and then some! Perhaps the most striking and interesting lectures of the series were given by Prof. R. A. Moore, of Wisconsin State University. His lecture on Breeding and Dis seminating Seed Corn was de livered on the 28th ult, and was a description of how, by breed ing up seed corn, he was able to double his corn crop in five years, and that by the distribu tion of pure bred seed corn all over the state of Wisconsin, that State has become one of the great corn states with 47,000 silos against Pennsylvania with 17,000; and his state now manufactures one-fifth of all the butter made in the United States. Under skilful management, from bred Holstein and Guernsey cattle are raised in different sections, and thousands of well bred cattle of either breed can be bought in these sections without difficulty. Alfalfa and clover, though not natural to the soil, have now be come staple crops, and Wiscon sin no longer fears the loss of fertility, nor needs to import vast quantities of bran and other dairy feed concentrates, as it formerly did. that the War Did. . ' The old saying that ''It is an ill wind that blows good to no one," is again verified by some things that have taken place in France and Russia since the war began. Russia has cut out booze, even light beers are now forbid den to be sold, and the authori ties in that country are rejoicing at the improved condition of all classes. France ha3 taken one step tow ard the abatement of a useless custom by abolishing absinthe, a substance distilled from worm wood, and which is mixed with wines and other intoxicants in order to increase their power to overcome the senses. What these two countries have done is being heralded all over the world by the newspapers, and it is do ing more to educate public opin ion toward the uselessness and the danger to the public, of the use of intoxicants, than any re cent temperance movement This recalls to mind the fact that in our own country, when something occurs to call excited crowds to the streets, the town and city fathers compel the sa loons to close, same as they must do on election days. Why close on election days, or, when there is danger of riots? Simply be cause of the fact that "When wine is in, wit is out," and, with out the debasing influence of liq uor men retain normal judg ment and act more like rational beings. As 'Billy Bryan says, "If abstinence is ' good at such times, why not all the time? We boast of being a "Christian nation;" but we are Christians only figuratively. Our legislative bodies are not Christian accord ing to the only standard of measurement If they were, there would be no graft no slush funds for the election of whiskey men, and there would be no ob jectors among them when an oc casional,' really Christian govern or, or president, attempts to in terpret international policy in accordance with the Word of God. Are France and Russia lead ing us in Christianity? Some one asks what has be come of the girl who used to wear a woollen scarf about her neck in winter. Well, about now she is wearing a low neck waist, and stopping in at the druggist's to get some cough cure. The Grim Reaper. Continued from page 1. Mrs. Katie Edwards.
