FULTON MINDFUL
OF WAR HEROES
Plan to Erect Memorial to
Cost $15,000 in Square at
McConnellsburg
Mct'oiuicllsburg, Pa., Sept. 16 —
Following the settlement of all bills
C>r the Welcome Home Celebration
recently given in McConnellsburg
lo the returned soldiers of Fulton
county, the finance committee was
able to report a balance of more
than $275 on hand to be turned
over to the fund for the building
of a permanent Honor Roll and
Memorial to the soldiers of the
county.
■ -V convention of delegates repre
senting the different townships of
.the county was held at the Couit
v -ouse and ways and means discuss
ed for carrying out a campaign all
over the county for funds to erect
an Honor Roll and Memorial to the
soldiers. It was decided that at
least $15,000 should be secured lor
this purpose and that the center
square in the county seat, McCon
nellsburg. should be the site for the
erection of this memorial.
The balance from the Welcome
Home celebration together with
some money collected some years
ago for the erection of a soldiers
memorial to the boys of the 60 s,
gives the fund something to start
on and it is the opinion of the
committee that the goal will be
easily reached and the memorial
dedicated on Memorial Day, 1920.
The Rev. William J. Lowe and
D. H. Patterson will secure the ser
vices of an expert designer who is
lo submit plans for the beautifying
of the public square and make sug
gestions for a fitting memorial. This
memorial will bear bronze tablets
upon which will be cast the names
of all the soldiers who have answer
ed the call of their country in the
Civil, Spanish-American and World
wars. Smaller tablets will tell of ti-.e
part played by the soldiers from this
section in the Revolutionary, Wa r
of 1812 and Mexican wars. These
three latter named wars wero
fought before the county of Fulton
was established.

The Journey to the Nome King's Domain
a
First Rode Ozma, with Dorothy Beside Her; Then Came Others
Having heard the story of Ozma:
of Oz from her old friends, the
Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman,
Dorothy related to them her own
adventures, and then went out with
her friends to find the Sawhorse,
which Ozma had caused to be shod
with plates of gold, so that its legs
would not wear out.
They came upon the Sawhorse
standing motionless beside the gar
den gate, but when Dorothy was
introduced to him he bowed polite
ly and blinked his eyes, which were
knots of wood, and wagged his tail,
which was only the branch of a
tree. \
"What a remarkable thing, to be
alive!" exclaimed Do:*othy.
"I quite agree with you," re
plied the Sawhorse, in a rough but
not unpleasant voice. "A creature
like me has no business to live, as
we all know. But it was the magic
power that did it, so I cannot justly
be blamed."
"Of course not." said Dorothy.
"And you seem to be of some use,
'cause I noticed the Scarecrow rid
ing upon your back."
"Oh, yes: I'm of use," returned
the Sawhorse: "and I never tire,
never have to be fed, or cared for
In any way."
"Are you intel'gent?" asked the
girl.
"Not very," said the creature. "It
would be. foolish to waste intelli
gence on* a common Sawhorse,
when so many professors need it.
But I know enough to obey my
masters, and to giddup, or whoa,
when I'm told to. So I'm pretty
well satisfied."
That night Dorothy slept in a
ppjisant little bedchamber next to
that occupied by Ozma of Oz, and
Billina perched upon the foot of the
bed and tucked her head under her
wing and slept as soundly in that
position as did Dorothy upon her
soft cushions.
But before daybreak every one
was awake and stirring, and soon
the adventurers were eating a hasty
breakfast in the great diningroom
of the palace. Ozma sat at the head
of a long table, on a raised plat
form, with Dorothy on her right
hand'and the Scarecrow on her left.
The Scarecrow did . not eat, of
course: but Ozma placed him near
her so that she might ask his ad
vice about the journey while she
ate.
Lower down the table were the
twenty-seven warriors of Oz, and
at the end of the room the Lion and
the Tiger were eating out of a ket
tle that had been placed upon the
floor, while Billina fluttered around
to pick up any scraps that might be
scattered.
It did not take long to finish the
meal, and then the Lion and the
Tiger were harnessed to the chariot
and the party was ready to start
for the Nome King's Palace.
First rode Ozma, with Dorothy
beside her in the golden chariot and
holding Billina fast in her arms.
Then came the Scarecrow on the
Sawhorse, with the Tin Woodman
and Tiktok marching side by side
just behind him. After these
tramped the Army, looking brave
and handsome in their splendid uni
forms. The generals commanded
the colonels and the colonels com-

Washington Heights Sept. 6.
Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Eshleman attended
a reunion of the Eshleman family at
the home of Abraham Eshleman on the

manded the majors and the majors
commanded the captains and the
captains commanded the private,
who marched with an air of proud
importance because it required so
many officers to give him his orders.
And so the magnificent proces
sion left the palace and started
along the road just as day was
breaking, and by the time the sun
came out they had made good prog
ress toward the valley-that led to
the Nome King's domain.
The road led for a time through
a pretty farm country, and then
past a picnic grove that was very
inviting. But the procession con
tinued to steadily advance until Bil
lina cried in an abrupt and com
manding manner:
"AVait! Wait!"
Ozma stopped her chariot so sud
denly that the Scarecrow's Saw
horse nearly ran into it, and the
ranks of the army tumbled over one
another before thew could come to
a halt. Immediately the yellow hen
struggled from Dorothy's arms and
flew into a clump of hushes by the
roadside.
"What's the matter?" called the
Tin Woodman, anxiously,
"Why, Billina wants to lay her
egg, that's all," said Dorqthy.
"Lay her egg!" repeated the Tin
Woodman, in astonishment.
"Yes; she lays one every morning
about this time; and its quite
fresh," said the girl.
"But does your foolish old hen
suppose that this entire cavalcade,
which is bound on an important ad
venture, is going to stand still while
she laws her egg?" inquired the Tin
Woodman earnestly.
"What else can we do?" asked
the girl. "It's a habit of Billina's
and she can't break herself of it."
"Then she must hurry up." said
the Tin Woodman, impatiently.
"No, no!" explaimed the Scare
crow. "If she hurries she may lay
scrambled eggs."
"That's nonsense." said Dorothy.
"But Billina wont be long, I'm
sure."
So they stood and waited, al-

though all were restless and anxi
ous to proceed. And by and by the
yellow hen came from the bushes
saying: "Kut-kut, kut, ka-daw
kuttl Kut. kut, kut —ka-daw-kut!"
"What is she doing—singing her
lay?" asked the Scarecrow.
"Forward—march!" shouted the
Tin Woodman, waving his ave, and
the procession- started just as Doro
thy had once more grabbed Billina
in her arms.
"Isn£ anyone going to get my
egg?" cried the hen, in great excite
ment.
"I'll get it," said the Scarecrow;
and at his command the Sawhorse
pranced into the bushes. The straw
man soon found the egg, which he
placed in his jacket pocket. The
cavalcade, having moved rapidly on,
was even then far in advance; but
it did not take the Sawhorse long to
catch up with it, and presently the
Scarecrow was riding in his accus
tomed place behind Ozma's char
iot.
"What shall I do with the egg?"
he asked Dorothy.
"I do not know," the girl an
swered. "Perhaps the Hungry Tiger
would like it.'
"It would not be enough to fill
one of my back teeth," remarked
the Tiger. "A bushel of them, hard
boiled, might take a little of the
edge off my appetite; but one egg
isn't good for anything at all, that I
know of."
"No; It wouldn't even make a
sponge cake," said the Scarecrow,
thoughtfully. "The Tin Woodman
might carry it with his axe and
hatch it; but after all I may as well
keep it myself for a souvenir." So
he left it in his pocket.
They had now reached that part
of the valley that lay between the
two high mountains which Dorothy
had seen from her tower window.
At the far end was the third great
mountain, which blocked the val
ley and was the northern edge of
the Land of Ev. It was under
neath this mountain that the Nome
King's palace was said to be; but it
would be some time before they
reached that place.
The path was becoming rocky
and difficult for the wheels of the
chariot to pass over, and presently
a deep gulf appeared at their feet
which was too wide for them to
leap. So Ozma took a small square
of green cloth from her pocket and
threw it upon the ground. At once
it became the magic carpet, and
unrolled itself far enough for all
the cavalcade to walk upon. The
chariot now advanced, and the
green carpet unrolled before it,
crossing the gulf on a level with its
banks, so that all passed over it
safely.
"That's easy enough,' said the
Scarecrow. "I wonder what will
happen next."
He was not long in making the
discovery, for the sides of the moun
tain came closer together until
finally there was but a narrow path
between them, along which Ozma
and her party were forced to pass
in single file.
They now heard a low and deep
"thump!—thump!—thump!" which
echoed throughout the valley and
seemed to grow louder as they ad
vanced. Then, turning a corner of
rock, they saw before them a huge
form, which towered gbove
for more than a hundred feet. The
form was that of a gigantic
man built out of plates of cast irn,
and it stood with one foot on either

side of the narrow road and swung
over its right shoulder was an im
mense iron mallet, with which it
constantly pounded the earth. These
resounding blows explained the
thumping sounds that they had
heard, for the mallet was much
bigger than a barrel, and where it
struck the path between the rocky
sides of the mountain it filled all
the space through which our travel
ers would be obliged to pass.
Of course they at once halted, a
safe distance away from the terrible

would do them no good in this case,
for it was only meant "to protect

Pea Coal I
Likely To Advance In Price
COAL OPERATORS will probably advance the
price of pea coal 75 cents per ton as soon as cold
weather comes to stay.
The price of Egg, Stove and Nut Coal was ad
vanced 95 cents per .ton from July Ist to September
Ist, inclusive. In the same period the price of Pea
Coal was advanced hut 20 cents per ton.
In recent years it has been customary to increase
pea coal prices in the same amount as the larger sizes.
We expect the additional 75 cents will be applied
when the demand for coal becomes intense.
The coal you buy now is much better quality
than will be shipped under winter mining condi
tions. Coal is always better prepared when mined
and shipped in mild weather. We can give you a
good quality of Hard, Soft, or Mixed Pea Coal.
To handle coal quickly and efficiently we
operate three big yards. Our "Allison Hill"
yard is located at 15th and Chestnut Streets;
"Heart of City Yard" at Forster and Cow
den Streets; "Camp Curtin" yard at 7th and
Woodbine Streets.

said Tiktok, "and works as stead

the Nome King by Smith & Tin-ker,
who made me. and his du-ty is to
keep folks from tind-ing the un
der-ground pal-ace. Is ho not a
great work of art?"
"Can he think, and speak, as you
do?" asked Ozma, regarding the
giant with wondering eyes.
"No," replied the machine; "he
is on-ly made to pound the road,
and has no think-ing or speak-ing
at-tach-ment. But he pounds ve-ry
well. I think."
"Too well," observed the Scare
| crow. "He is keeping us from go
| ing farther. Is there no way to
J stop his machinery?"
"On-ly the Nome King, who has
the key, can do that," answered
Tiktok.
"Then," said Dorothy, anxiously,
"what shall wo do?"
"Excuse nie for a few minutes."
said the Scarecrow, "and I will
think it over."
He retired, then, to a position in
the rear, where he turned his paint-
Ed face to the rocks and began to
think.

shall hear of the plan the Scare
crow evolved for getting by the

splendid way in which the Coward
