Abnormal Eggs.
Frequent accounts of quarter
pound eggs lead us to ask readers
to give their experience with
hens that lay these eggs. For
several years we had a flock of
about a dozen hen3 under obser
vation, and during that time
hardly ever failed to get an egg,
at least, once a year, that weigh
ed about twice as much as the
same hen's normal egg. If mem
ory serves us right, a hen laid
two such eggs several years ago,
and she was carefully watched to
see if she would make it a "hab
it." She died very shortly aft
erward, much to our disappoint
ment. In the course of time oth
er hens laid similar eggs, and
careful trace of their actions in
variably ended in their death
soon after laying a big egg.
This led to the conclusion that
the cause of the big egg was a
diseased condition of the hen,
which interrupted the natural
functions of her body, producing
the abnormal egg, and causing
her early death. What has been
your experience?
WHY FILTON COUNTY
MERCHANTS SHOULD
ADVERTISE IN THE
FULTON COUNTY NEWS.
Written (or the Newh by
Advertising Srvk
Camden, N, J.
A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.
That we ottea hear of the lar
ger advertising successes and the
smaller successes rarely, does
not prove that there are few
small successes.
It is on the contrary for tbe
same reason that we heard all de
tails of the sinking of the Titanic
while the sinking of smaller craft
receive but small comment.
Early in June, 1912, Mr. B. P.
Cobb, of Camden, N. J., despite
twenty years of experience as an
awning maker, had no orders.
Lie expended the munificent
sum ot 0.00 for advertising in
the Post Telegram and received
one hundred and eight orders in
less than a week.
Just as long as you are doing
business, there is opportunity
for increasing it by use of The
Fulton County News.
Write, 'phone or call and say
you are willing to talk it over.
Motor Tracks oa Tike.
On Friday of last week a light
motor truck intended to haul 1,
500 pounds, came over fromMer
cersburg in little over an hour
and a quarter, loaded with 1,800
pounds of flour. For some time
the Atlantic Refining Company
atChambersburg has been deliv
ering thousands of gallons of oil
and gasoline to this place in mo
tortruck tanks. It must be cheap
er for the Franklin county firms
to deliver by motor truck than
with horses, or they would not
use the former. Notwithstand
ing the bad breakers in the road,
some of these concerns offer to
deliver full loads to points far
west of us.
Our object in referring to the
foregoing is to keep before our
people the possibility of our being
connected with the Cumberland
Valley railroad by swift autos,
and auto freight trucks, as soon
as we make or have them
made roads free from breakers
and ruts too much for business
vehicles to negotiate. We will
also repeat what we have said
several times that the muddle
at Harrisburg will necessitate
our building some 'of the roads
by private subscriptions and la
bor. There is no possible other
way unless, the State return
some of the roads to the town
ships. '
AH Bosh and Rubbish.
Those newspapers that are do
ing their best to belittle the Ad
ministration at Washington are
now crying out that President
Wilson should have recognized
the murderer Huerta a year ago
and saved this country from hav
ing to go to war with Mexico.
Had Mr. Wilson done so these
same papers would now be claim
ing that it was a blunder. In the
language of "ole" Uncle Rastus,
" 'deed they would!"
If any man can point out how
the recognition of Huerta would
have saved the lives and property
of Americans and other foreign
ers in Mexico, when more than
half of the people were at war
with him, he will prove himself
a seer that would make the shade
of Mormon John Smith green
, with envy.

Spring
nnounceiiient
The balmy days of springtime are Hero again, with all its joys of
housecleaning, garden making, and general shaking off of the
odors of a long winter. With this season comes the necessity for
new carpets, new rugs, new wall paper, new paint, new garden
tools, to say nothing of the new di esses for the girls and women,
and new shoes for the whole family.
From our long experience in catering to the wants of the Fulton
County trade, we know just what is needed, and have our store full
to overflowing with the very best things to supply thj demands of
our varied patronage. For instance :
We have a large assortment of Women's Misses' and Children's
Dresses in colors and white at prices ranging from 25 cents to $3.
Beautiful Waists colors and white 50 cents to $3. A large lot
of Summer Dress Stuffs in Cotton, Silk, and Wool, and a splendid
assortment of Embroideries, beautiful and cheap.
CARPETS AND MATTINGS
A good assortment of carpets and mattings ranging in price
from 13 to 60 cents. Brussell's, 65 to 80 cents. Blinds from 10
cents to 45 cents.
MEN'S AND BOYS' CLOTHING
The large sale of men's and boys' clothing this spring proves that
we have been exceedingly fortunate in the selection of our stock. Come right
along for your spring and summer suits; while we have sold lots, we have plenty
left, and are adding new stock right along.
SHOES! SHOES!
Not as many going barefoot this season as formerly, and we have on hands shoes
enough to go. around, and at the right price. They come to you direct from the
factory, and one profit is saved to you. Style and quality guaranteed.
6. W. Reisner & Company at the Old Stand.
Scare Crows.
The time is here when some of
us will want to scare crows and
blackbirds from our fields. An
old time scare-crow that works
better than anything we know of
is made by binding two looking
glasses back to back and suspen
ding them from an arm fastened
to a pole or tree. The looking
glasses must be suspended so
that they will move in the least
breeze. The flashes of light is
what frightens the birds.
A writer in one of our farm
papers tells of how he frightens
crows by making a platform in
the field and placing an old wash
boiler on it with an old clock un
der it. He arranges so that the
ticking of the pendulum beats
against the sides of the washboil
er and which can be heard all
over the field. He says crows will
give the mysterious invention a
very wide berth. Perhaps some
of our boys can make a wind
wheel to beat a?ainst the sides
of the old boiier to make the racket
