Edward V. Mellott and daugh
ter Miss Bella, near Sipes Mills,
were shopping in town on Satur
day. Miss Belle had just closed
a successful term as teacher of
Forestdale school, in Licking
Creek. She will attend Summer
Normal in this place which be
gins in May. Mr. Mellott reports
that grain came through in good
shape this winter.
R. A. Skiles, wife and little
daughter Pearl, R. D. 1, Mer-
cersburg, came to the County on
Thursday of last week to look
after the renting of their farm in
Licking Creek township to Thos
Deshong who will take charge
this spring. Mr. Skiles said that
while Old Boreas gave us more
snow than in Franklin county, he
did more blowing" about it
over there.
In a letter containing the cash
to advance his subscription to the
News, Mr. James G. Kline now
iving at R. D. 1, Alpha, N. J.,
writes that farmers are busy
ploughing for corn, and truckers
are getting ready for early vege
tables. At sales in his neighbor
hood, cows have been selling at
from $65 to $108; 3-weeks-old
pigs, $3, and horses bring from
$200 to $350.
One day last week the families
of Messrs Abram Deshong, Samp
son Mellott, and Samuel Bedford
prepared a fine dinner and took
it to the home of Mrs. Ruth
Swope, in Licking Creek town
ship. They had a fine social time
in honor of Mrs. Swope's return
rom Foltz where she spent the
winter, and had recently recov
ered from a severe spell of sick
ness.
Our good friend John Fox who
ives in the home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. Hal B. Trout, was in
town Monday and dropped into
this office for a chat with the edi
tor. While Mr. Fox is in his
eighty-third year, and has long
been a sufferer from rheumatism,
his health is very much better
than it was in the winter, and he
is able to get to town frequently
and mingle with his many friends.
Our playmate of boyhood days,
George W. Glenn, near Webster
Mills, took advantage of the cool
of the morning before the sun
got up to high, to walk to Mc
Connellsburg a distance of six
miles. While Mr. Glenn was a
member of Company B, 12Gth
Regiment, P. V. I., in the Civil
War, and will be 73 year old at
his next birthday, he prefers to
travel afoot, even if does take a
ittle more time. Mr. Glenn said
we should tell Will Hughes, that
he (Mr. Glenn) found some
swamp cabbage down in the mea
dow at Webster Mills just near
to the house in which Will lived
when he was a boy.
Mr. James A. Stewart, of
Greenhill, spent a few hours in
town Monday, and dropped in to
exchange greetings with the edi
tor. Mr. Stewart was one of the
eading teachers in the County
about a half-century ago. He
was joint owner with the late
rofessor J, W. Hughes, of the
Allegheny Male and Female Sem
inary at Rainsburg, and he nd
rofessor Hughes conducted that
institution two years. After
eaving Rainsburg, he went over
to Clearville, taught a Summer
Normal school, and then came to
McConnellsburg, where he was
principal of the public schools
during the school year 1805-6,
Holstein Association.
The gentlemen interested in
Holstein-Friesian cattle in Frank
lin county held a meeting in
Chambersburg last Saturday af
ternoon, with a surprisingly large
attendance.
Mr. Reinhold, Secretary of the
State Association, spoke of the
demand for the Holstein showing
that it was increasing all over
the country yet there were no lo
cal organizations in which the
State organization could be in
touch when demand comes from
other states for them.
At present hundreds of buyers
are going into other states be
cause Pennsylvania breeders of
Holstein Cattle are not making
themselves known through or
ganization. Mr. Reinhold said
so great was the demand for Hoi
steins that he would personally
guarantee to take every register
ed Holstein calf raised in this
county, when two weeks old, at
from $50 to $75.
It would please the News read
ers to hear of a similar branch
of the State Association being
organized in this county. It
would be in ex"act line with re
cent discussion of the Thorough
bred idea.
Farm Onildings Protection.
That chemicals will entirely
take the place of water within
the next five years a3 a means of
fighting fire was the prophecy
made at a recent convention of
fire fighters. In the large cities
most of the small fires are now
put out with chemicals, and it is
not a big step from this to the
use of guns for shooting povvd
ered chemicals or chemical bombs
nto buildings for putting out big
blazes. As an argument against
the use of water, a case was re
ferred to where in a small fire
the fire loss was $5,000, while the
oss due to the water poured on
the flames amounted to no less
than about $20,000. -From the

The following story, from Lip-
pincott's seemed smart to Hiram
but maybe he laughed out of the
other side of his face when the
check came back through the
his bank:
Hiram "Haw! Haw! Haw! I
skinned one of them city fellers
that put the lightning-rods on my
house."
Silas-"Ye did? How did you
do it?
Hiram "Why, when I made
out the check to pay him, I just
signed my name without specify
ing the amount. Ill bet there
will be somebody pretty
when he goes to cash it."

It Was Their Sixth.
Tuesday evening of last week
marked the ending of six years'
work in matrimonial harness for
Ellis and Irene Trout Lynch; and
as a proper recognition of the
event, their pretty home was
thrown open to a number of in
vited guests, and the evening was
spent most pleasantly. As the
sixth is the "off-year" too late
for tin cups, and too early for
woollen suspenders there were
no presents. May these excel-
ent young people be spared to
give to their friends many many
more such pleasant occasions.
A Fair Chance.

A great deal of talk is going he
rounds of the newspapers these
days as to what should be taught
in the public schools. The be
lief is growing that the schools
in farming districts should adopt
a course of study adapted to di
rect the child's attention to scien
tific farming or, rather, to life in
the country at whatever vocation
he may afterwards chose to fol-
low there. Since agriculture,
horticulture, stock raising, the
poultry business and truck gar
dening are the principal opportu
nities open to the country gen
tleman, his studies as a boy in
school should be directed with
these in view. Industrial depart
ments, at the expense of the tax
payer, are common in the high
schools ol our larger towns, why
not in the country? It would not
increase taxation one whit. The
only necessary adjunct would be
that the teacher be compelled to
hold a certificate of ability to
teach the fundamental principles
of agriculture. Any teacher or
writer will force to the front
whatever tendency he feels tow
ard some particular calling. If
his heart is with rural life he
will make of the common school
branches stepping stones to the
attainment of desired ends. He
will skilfully lead the minds of
his pupils to see the beauties of a
true life out in the country where
individual effort finds no barriers
to advancement as is the case
with the young man who works
under a boss" in the city. Don't
say that farming does not pay.
It does pay except in cases where
the young man starts at it with
the determination to follow in
the time worn ruts of discarded
methods. No doctor, lawyer,
preacher, or mechanic of any
kind, can reach a very efficient
standard without first preparing
himself for that particular -call
ing; neither can any young man
take hold of our overworked soils
and make them yield to his will
unless he first understand the
philosophy of soil and plant req
usites. The day of the guess-at
and the hit-and-miss methods of
handling soils is forever past
where old farms are the scene of
activities.
The study of elementary phys
ics is absolutely necessary be
fore experiment station reports
can be understood. This, in its
self is fascinating to boys. Then
follow with the application of
these principles the study of phys
ical needs of soils and plants,
and you have a boy who, if he
have any ambition to succeed at
anything, will make the soil pro
duce food in abundance for both
man and beast He will then
soon take a place of honor among
his fellows, while his less fortu
nate brother will be struggling
as a nobody in the city among
the workmen of doubtful stand
ing. The former will be receiv
ed on a level with the best men
t
in tne county wnen ne appears
among them, while the latter,
when he appears in public, will
be "only one to them factory
hands."
Yes, by all means, let us de-
i i .
mana our ngnts ana nave our
sons and daughters educated tow
ard the farm instead of awav
from it, as is now the undisputed
case with our present system.
Agitate this idea for a short time
and the State will grant the desire.

You may know it, or you may not; but the truth is, that Queen
Quality Shoes are manufactured by the largest Shoe Factory in the
whole United States. The Queen Quality factory makes more
shoes, and sells more shoes than any other. This should be the
best evidence that they sell good goods. If the shoes were not all
that they are represented to be, the Queen Quality people could
not do the business they are doing. We have handled the Queen
Quality shoes for five years, and our trade in them has grown
steadily with that of the factory. Now, if you have a hard foot to
fit, come in and let us try to fit you. If we do not happen to have
in stock your size and width, we can get it for you in three or four
days and it will not mean any extra cost to you, either. The prices
run from $2.50 to $5.00. We have shoes to fit your whole family,
and prices to fit your pocket book.
