A great display of Easter cams and novelties at the Irwin store. The Tleasant Grove Sunday School is preparing for an Easter Service to be held on Easter Sun day at 10 a. m. The sudden thaw filled the Susquehanna river to overflow ing, and drowned some livestock in the lowlands. Mr. George McDonald is mov ing onto the W. W. McDaniel farm near Saluvia from which Henry Connor moved recently to his own farm near Mattie, Bed ford county. We ask the kind indulgence of strangers for a few more days if our citizens appear a little "crusty," as stovepipe never will go together again along a bout April first The Sunday school at the Greenhill Presbyterian church will be reorganized next Sunday morning if the weather permits; if weather is bad, then on the following Sunday.

The superintendent of a lace mill on Long Island ordered all the gifl employees to wash their faces or lose their jobs. They had become so addicted to the use powder and rouge as to make their appearance ridiculous. We do not know of any Fulton coun ty girls working in that factory. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Little, Mrs Delia Crouse, Miss Evelyn Bar nett, and Wilbur Grissinger and son Carl all went to Mercers burg last Sunday in Mr. Little's new Crow car; and on the return trip brought home Mrs. Wilbur Grissinger who had been in the hospital in Chambersburg for five weeks. In the hope that it will help some of our readers to save little chickens from getting the "gapes," we again print the warning that the trouble comes from permitting the peeps to have access to wet ground that con tains filth. The egg from which the gape worm hatches is posi tively known to be carried by common earth worms that are plentiful in that kind of soil. Bert Hann, Esq., who has been working in the mountains for the Reichley Bros., in Wells Valley, is spending a week's vacation at his nice home in Licking Creek township. Bert told a reporter while in town last Monday that life in camp out in the mountains beats any other kind. He looks hearty as the pine knots that the camp cook gathers to fire the grub furnace. He expects to re turn to the new camp when it i3 located on the Thropp property.

Congregational Meeting and Social. At a congregational meeting last Monday evening in the Re formed church, the reports from the three charges showed that over $1,200 had been contributed during the past year. Both pas tor and members are being con gratulated for the excellent show ing, not only in financial matters but in work of all the depart ments. Rev. J. L. Yeanck's three charges are: McConnells- burg, Big Cove Tannery, and Little Cove. After the business meeting adjourned a social was held, and a nice little supper ser ved in the church. , During the short time Rev. Yearick and his most excellent wife have been a mong us they have gained the esteem of a very wide circle of friends, not only in their own church but wherever they have gone. In the absence of a pas tor, the Presbyterians frequently join a3 a congregation in the Re formed services, and, in turn, theReformed congregation meets the Presbyterians in the latter's church Mr. Yearick preaching to both. A very happy relation ship is, in this manner, being es tablished between the two de nominations. Political Announcement. Cattle Dealer Fined. Henry E. Brown, an extensive cattle dealer of Southern Lan caster County, has been fined $100 for violating the interstate cattle law by bringing diseased cattle from Maryland to Lancaster county, Penna. The cattle were quarantined by agents of the State Livestock Sanitary Board and upon being killed un der State supervision were found to be extensively diseased. State Veterinarian, C. J. Mar shall, says that this is but one of many cases that demonstrates the necessity of State and Feder al supervision of the interstate movement of livestock. Contin uing he said that had there been no livestock sanitary law and no State agents on the lookout for illegal cattle traffic these deseas ed cows might have been sold and placed in Pennsylvania dairy herds where they would have been a menace to healthy cattle. Big Lumber Deal. The Reichley Brothers, who have been operating a large saw mill in Wells Valley for several years, have recently purchased from the Thropps about 4000 acres of timber land on the Old Mcllvaine lands . lying on both sides of the pike on Sideling Hill and Rays Hill. This tract will furnish an im mense amount of lumber and we have been informed that Reich ley Bros. & Co., contemplate building a narrow guage railroad from the tract to Everett, as an outlet for, the lumber. The lumber from their pres ent mill site is taken by rail up the mountain from Wells, Tan nery to a point above Kearney connecting with the Sandy Run branch of the H. & B. T. R. R. from Hopewell. The Fact Remains No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, cr falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder lias been found hy the offi cial examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free from alum, and of absolute purify and who!esomeness. Royal .paking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical, food. Dr. lixon's Talks. One of the least spectacular but most useful of the many good works of the State Health De partment is the weekly health talk Dr. Dixon has been issuing recently for newspaper, publica tion, and these talks have been appearing regularly in the Ful ton County News. In speak ing editorially upon the value of these talks; The Public Opinion (Chambersburg) says that for years past the pages of daily pa pers have been crowded with ad vertisements offering cures for disease. Physicians have made fortunes bringing patients back to health. Specialists spend years in the study of obscure ail ments. All this is vitally neces sary for the relief of the suffer ing, but in the eyes of the most advanced thinkers along medical lines, the great mission of the physician is to prevent disease, says the Harrisburg Telegraph. Dr. Dixon is putting this idea in to very effective practice, using the great prestige of his office to procure the publication of the ar ticles he so carefully prepares. How to keep well, not how to get well, is the theme of his 'talks" and every one of them ought to be in the scrapbook of the man who gives serious thought to his physical condition. Make, a Lime Spreader. There is a lot of bright young men in the County who can han dle tools to make many pieces of machinery that will work and save labor and money. We sug gest that some of them try their hand at making a lime spreader according to the following hints. Get a pair of old mower wheels and connect them with an iron axle as long as yoa wish say eight or ten feet; put a V shaped hopper on the axle as long as will work between the wheels Have the axle fast to one wheel so that the axle will revolve and make a "feed" like in a grain drill. Have small holes in the bottom of the hopper to take the place of the spouts on a grain drill and make a slide with cor responding holes so that holes in the hopper can be closed at will. Fasten this machine to the back end of your farm wagon as a trailer, and as close to the wag on as it will run. Load your wagon with slacked lime and as fast as the lime feeds out of the hopper fill it lrom the wagon. Tin not make both wheels fast on the axle, as one of them must be loose in order to accommodate itself in turning corners. T.imp is too costlv in this coun ty to waste it by putting out in littlft niles to slack and ten to fifteen bushels to the acre is too small amount to spread evenly with a shovel. When lime is put out in little piles to slack and too much water falls on it betore be ing spread, the lime will get hard and is then useless as a sweeten- incr ncrmt Lime in the form of dust is the only form available for soil, as lime must be dissolv ed by moisture at the moment of action. FOR THE LEGISLATURE. To The Democratic Voters ok Fulton County. After having received so much encouragement. I feel that I would be shirking my duty if I did not offer myself as a candi date for the nomination for the General Assembly th e second term, as 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. Many Thanks. In behalf of the McConnells- burg Band I wish to extend thanks to the people in gene ral for their patronage of the play we gave last Friday evening. We appreciate very much the support the people gave us, and we hope every body was pleased with the entertainment. In re turn we will try to serve you with music, the best we can during the coming summer. We, also, extend thanks to those who assisted us with the play. C. R. Shore, Manager. WHY FULTON COUNTY MERCHANTS SHOULD ADVERTISE IN THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. Written for the Nkws by Advertising Service Cumlen, N. J. Docs It Belong to You. The trade you have developed belongs to you As long as you can hold it. Your competitor's trade be longs to him As long as he can hold it. You are after his trade and he is after yours. Both you and your competitor are pleasing the buying public. If this is not a fact, neither of you would have the "trade" to contest for. That you please the buying public is evidence that you give them their money's worth of mer chandise and service. They your patrons are not mind readers. Tell them through the News, what you have to offer them. It Pays. Pass the Fakirs Along. We made mention in these col ums last spring of a set of fakirs who go through the country and claim to be able to "vaccinate" fruit trees so a3 to make them immune from disease. State Zoologist Surface says that re ports have reached him that the men are again at work, and warns all to beware that the vac cinationor whatever they call the treatment has no value and that in some cases it killed the trees. Beware of these fakirs, and order them out of the coun try. Prof. Surface offers to at tend court a3 a witness, if any one causes the arrest of the men for having treated trees for pay.
