The Annual Sunday School and

Pennsylvania Conference will be
held at the Gapsville Christian
church on Thursday and Friday,

John M. Rupp, prominent farm
er near Mechanicsburg, Cumber
land county, was shot and killed
by a chicken thief, last Thurs
day when he was making an in
vestigation as to why the burglar
alarm went off at 2 o'clock in the
morning. A Harrisburg hucks
ter was afterwards arrested and
lodged in jail after he confessed
to the shooting.
Mr. Howard Fix, near Huston
town, spent a few hours in town
on business last Saturday. Af
ter having spent several years
working at the Broadtop mines,
Howard has returned to his farm
on the road between Hustontown
and Clear Ridge tmd as a side
line is manufacturing soft drinks
Dealers who have tried hi3 pop
and ginger ale come back with
increased, orders, which speaks
well for the quality of the goods.
Automobile owners and driv
ers ought to use a little consider
ation and let us say courtesy too,
in driving their cars through tne
town, owing to the abominable
and death-dealing dust in our
streets. Have a little mercy on
the fellow behind you and the
poor, innocent victims along side
of you. A petition was circula
ted in town a few days ago ask
ing the State Highway Depart
ment to oil the streets of McCon
nellsburg that lie in the line of
the State highways. There is
nothing upon the statute books
of Pennsylvania to prevent our
people asking this favor from the
Department; but it is scarcely
probable that the request will be
granted.
Chambersburg Happenings Always lu

After reading of so many peo
ple in our town who liave been
cured by Doan's Kidney Pills,
the question naturally arises: "Is
this medicine equally successful
in our neighboring towns." The
generous statement of this Cham
bersburg resident leaves no room
for doubt on this point.
Mrs. J. W. Ankorbrant, 4G1 S.
Main St, Chamborsburg, Pa.,
savs: "Mv kidneys were weak
and I suffered from hard back
aches. It hurt me to stoop or
lift. I had headaches and dizzy
spoils and my eyes were affected.
Whenever I caught cold the trou
ble was worse I finally used
Doan's Kidney Pills and got great
relief. They made my kidneys
act right and removed the
aches and pains in my back.
Others of the family have been
benefited by Doan's Kidney Pills
I willingly recommend them.
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

Card of Thanks.
1 desire to express my sincere
thanks to the democratic voters
of Fulton County for giving me
their loyal support which result
ed in making me the democratic
nominee for the General Assem
bly. The almost unanimous sup
port indicated by the democratic
vote which was polled on last
Tuesday is very encouraging, and
it made me - feel that my work
while in the session of 1913 had
evidently met with the approval
of a large majority of the denw
cratic voters of Fulton county.
I kindly solicit the support and
influence of all the citizens of
Fulton county; and if elected at
the November election, I will, as
in the past, give the office my
whole time and energy, as my
record during the last session will
show, and will strive with all my
power to work for the best in
terests. of our County and State.
Very truly yours,
Geo. B. Mellott.

Isn't it necessaay that we be

Bees and Spraying.
A York County fruit grower
writes to Prof. H. A. Surface
Harrisburcr. saying that it is un
derstood in his region that grow
ers will not be allowed to spray
for Codling moth this year on ac
count of the possibility of killing
bees, and wants to know what to
do.
The reply was sent as follows
"It appears that the idea that
it is against the law to spray for
the Codling moth on account of
bees has gained some footing in
Pennsylvania this year, but it is
not true. I have many fruit
trees that will be sprayed soon
for the Codling moth, and this
spraying will be repeated in
about a month from the time of
the first application. I also have
bees in abundance in hives under
these fruit trees, and consider
that my bees are worth hundreds
of dollars to me this year in help
ing to set or form a bumper fruit
crop. I am satished that there
would not be anywhere near as
many perfect or fertilized bios
soms without the bees, and as
aids in fruit production I can not
estimate the great value of my
bees, for the Codling moth, and
there never will be any law a
gainst this. The time may come
when there will be a law that it
will be necessary for every per
son to spray for this insect, which
is the worst insect pest of apple,
pear and quince fruit. Unfortu
nately, there is no law against
spraying while in bloom. This
is what kills the bees, and as I
have published as extensively as
nossible. warning our horticultur
al friends against the evil3 of
spraying while in bloom. I pre
sume from this has arisen the
wrong idea that they should not
spray for the Codling moth at all.
The spraying for this pest is with
arsenate of lead in water, or in
Bordeaux mixture, or dilute lime
sulfur solution, just after the
bloar.: fall, and again in a
month. This certainly will inot
kill nor harm the bees if amlied
then. I hope to see close coop
eration of bee-keepers and fruit
growers, as it has been proven
by scientific experiments and
practical tests that bees "are a
benefit to fruits, and the fruit
grower gets even more than the
bee-keeper does when the bees
have an opportunity to reach his
orchard."
