looked "soft" to the sitter.
When one's religion bars him
from cooperating with the neigh
borhood for better living condi
tions, it is time to change our re
ligion. Look3 funny to see hams, bask
ets of eggs, 50-pound cans of
lard, automobile tires, &c, go
through the mails; but it is all
right, and we will soon get used
to it
'Tis said and greatly lament
too that the Texas steer, with
his curious six-foot spread o f
horns, i3 extinct. We doubt it
take a good look at Carranza's
mustache.

Neither say they in their heart,
Let us now fear the Lord our God,
that giveth rain, both the form
er and the latter, in his season:
he reserveth unto us the appoint
ed weeks of harvest Jeremiah
6:24.
The grape juice, buttermilk,
and lemonade of the Administra
tion at Washington, has called
down the wrath and contempt of
the rough element, too. "And
when they saw that the hope of
their gain was gone, &c," said
"These m e n d o exceedingly
trouble our city."
Bass season opens next Mon
day. This leads us to remark
that there are some large gullies
in the County that at little ex
pense, could be made into ideal
catfish ponds. The assistent ed
itor of the News once put three
catfish into a pond in the month
of May, and in three years, had
as many large fish as any two
families could have used. A very
small amount of water flowing
into a catfish pond will keep it
in condition, especially if the
pond can be shaded a little.
Peter Finiff, one of Tod town
ship's respected citizens, was in
town last Friday taking in the
changes in our old Burg. Older
residents of this place can recall
many incidents in which he fig
ured when he lived just east of
town. Mr. Finiff was noted for
his great strength, and at a time
when a building at the west end
of town was on fire, and the
bucket brigade seemed too slow
for him, he seized a big, copper,
applebutter kettle, dipped it full
at one sweep in the creek, and
started up the ladder. The com
bined weight of Mr. Finiff and
almost a barrel of water proved
too much for the rounds and
many were broken.

The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powder's, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the offi
cial examinations to be of the
highest leavening efficiency,
free from cluin, and of absolute
purity and wholesoiaeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest and most economical, food.
The balmy days of springtime are here 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 dresses for the girls and women,
and new shoes for the whole family.

Automobilous.
A good index to the extent of
the automobile industry and. in
cidentally, to thev prosperity of
the Country, is the fact that the
record of licenses granted by the
State Highway Department now
exceeds one hundred thousand, a
number far in excess of that dur
ing the entire of last year. The
hotel registers of McConnells
burg show greatly increased busi
ness, largely the result of auto
mobile tourists; in fact, with the
present limit to the hotel facili
ties, it is almost impossible to
care for the radidly increasing
business. The Bedford papers
say that in two consecutive days
recently, one of the garages in
that town attended to the wants
of 416 tourist automobiles, and
that the hotels and boarding
houses in that town are over
crowded. This, in the face of
the fact that Bedford has three
garages one costing twenty-
thousand dollars, and another,
more than fifteen thousand.
These garages are fitted up with
restaurants, rest rooms for the
ladies, toilets, baths, and every
convenience for modern travel.
A large number of automobiles
have been sold in Fulton county
this year, and it will not be long
until an automobile will be as
common a piece of machinery on
the farm as the cornplanter and
the bijider. ' An agent at Roaring
Spring, Blair county has sold
ninetysix Fords this season.
Surprise Party.

place at the home of Mr. George

people were engaged in playing
different games while the older
.ones listened to music furnished
by Mr. Ilann's graphophono.
Tbey all returned home at a late
hour wishing Mrs. Hann many
more happy birthdays.
Trip Around The World.
The Lutheran Steamship and
Navigation Company of this
place, chartered three "ships,"
one each from Ahimaaz Cleven
ger, George Comerer, and Ed
Grissinger, and took about eighty-five
tourists on a trip around
the world last Friday evening, at
a cost to each passenger of twen
ty-five cents.
Beginning at the Lutheran
Church the first stop was in Eng
land(Lutheran parsonage), where
Dickies, ham sandwiches, coiFoe,
&c, were served. Next stop was
in Switzerland (Mrs. John Con
rad's), where Swiss cheese and
pretzels were served. From there
the ships sailed to Japan (Mrs.
George Mock's), where the tour
ists were treated to rice, eaten
with chopsticks, and ice tea a la
Japan. On returning to America
the White House was visited,
where American ice cream and
wafers were sampled.
