Palmer Strait, Licking Creek
township, paid this office a call
last week and paid his sister's
subscription. Some of the town
ships poke a little fun at Licking
Creek' shilly farms, but we find
the inhabitants pay their debts,
although the school tax 13 very
high, and the markets far away.
Outside of the homes where
crime 13 the chosen profession,
there is no poverty so great that
the mother should be enslaved to
the extent of neglecting to teach
the children the hundred little
precepts that go to make a man
not a monkey. It is from the
latter homes that recruits are
turned out for the f ormer. There
i3 no excuse for depravity in this
e lightened age of opportunities.
Next week is "Farmers' Week"
at State College. It would be
worth the cost of the trip if one
went for no other reason than to
S2e the more than 1,000 young
men who are taking the agricul
tural course. To see how. prac
tical work with stock is taught
would also pay for the small ex
pense, beside the score of other
eye openers that will be given
especially for the benefit of the
visitors that week.
We heartily agree with the per
son who, in substance, said while
you may get a big, weekly city
paper for perhaps a little less
than your home paper the, form
er would be filled with scandal,
murders and matter you would
not wish your children to read.
The only interest it would take
in you as a farmer would be to
blame you for the high cost of
living. On the other hand your
home paper would be on the look
out for home news and interests
and welcome you to the office;
but it would take but two min
utes for you to be made to feel
that your presence in the city of
fice was not wanted.

WHY NOT START KIQHT?
The "New Year" is the time
for introspection; the time to look
back over the years that have
flown; and by searching out and
acknowledging our weaknesses,
fortify ourselves for the years to
come.
Look back, and sec if you are
getting all that your talents, your
ambition, and your opportunities
entitle you to.
If not, take steps to improve
your condition without delay.
Advertising In the NEWS can (ready
saint you, whether your desire be for a
better position or for i better business.

sosbing was the opening install
ment in Sunday's Philadelphia

created. Read this wonderful

The storm of Christmas even
ing was general over the eastern
states. Three men were frozen
to death in the eastern part of
this state. Record show that the
wind blew at the rate of 123 miles
an hour in New York.
VelmaE. Glunt, aged eight
years, of Knobsville, writes us
that the answer to our question
as to where we read the story of
the first Christmas can be found
in Mathew, 2:11. t
Mr. A. V. Woodcock and fami
ly of Mount Union are spending
the holidays with Arthur's home
folks at Hustontown, and Mrs.
Woodcock's people at Fort Little
ton. Arthur spent Monday in
town, and called at the News of
fice a few minutes. He is em
ployed at the Silica Brick Plant,
and says Mount Uuion is forging
ahead like a through train on the
Main Line.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Schooley,
of Licking Creek, spent last Sat
urday in town. It will be re
membered that one of the School
ey boys recently found two beau
tiful dagger-like instruments half
buried in the clay bank, along
the road below Harrisonville.
Mr. Schooley said while in town
Saturday, that further search of
the place where they were found
revealed nothing except some
broken crockery ware.
America's only woman senator
Honorable Helen Ring Robinson,
will make Pennsylvania an inter
esting visit during the month of
January. Ten big mass meeting
will be held in as many counties.
She will lecture on "The Home
and the Ballot Box." Her tour
over the state will take the shape
of an "S" in traveling-beginning
in Susquehana county, dip
ping down to Lancaster county,
up again into Potter county, then
down to Washington county.
Landlord Barkdoll, of the Man
sion House, Greencastle means
to keep solid with the young peo
ple of that town. In accordance
with a previous invitation the lit
tle tots and the big tots of the
town and surrounding country
began to put in an appearance at
his hotel at 9 o'clock Xmas morn
ing, and from that time until 5
o'clock in the afternoon, they
came and went, each receiving
an appropriate gift. In all, 3S7
children were treated.
President Wilson and family
are spending a three weeks' va
cation at Pas3 Christian, on the
Gulf coast of Miss. The Presi
dent is said to have "stuck to his
job" closer than any other .presi-
dent has done for a generation.
During the first nine months of
the most important bills passed
since the close of the Civil War
the Tariff and the Currency bills.
It was predicted that it would re
quire one year each for these two
bills to get through Congress.
Donald and Dallas Foreman,
sons of H. C. Foreman, Edenville
Franklin county, received a new
shot gun as a Christmas gift from
their father. Anxious to try it,
Donald aimed at the first "game"
they found a hawk. The gun
failed to go off. Donald looked
into the barrel while Dallas pull
ed the trigger, hoping in this
way to discover why the gun did
not shoot They did not find the
reason, but Donald lost one cheek
and had both jaws fractured and
is in a critical condition.
Mrs. Robert N. Fryman show
ed us a few days ago, some rel
ics that she appreciates very
much. They are two salt spoons
and a pair of sugar tongs solid
silver, and an imitation lemon and
an imitation peach or plum. The
spoons have the initial R. engrav
ed in Old English. , These things
came from the Rankin family
who lived in the Cove many year
ago, by Mrs. Fryman's father,
the late II. H. Deitrich, who was
the auctioneer. The "fruit" is a
curiosity, for it is a perfect rep
resentation and made of glass or
marble.
Do not waste time whittling the
boxes in the crossroads store and
discussing the possible effects,
in this county, of the new tariff
and currency bills. No doubt
Congress had Fulton County in
mind when the bills were framed
but that little hint from Mr. Wil
son, telling us not to neglect the
assembling of ourselves together
in the little red schoolhouses, and
then and there learn from each
other how to make these ever
lasting hills yield more profit is
all we need to remember in or
der to share in the benefit of these
two far-reaching bills.
