Some smarty has discoverd why
the nasty Mexican question has
not been solved. He declares
that it is because every newspa

how to settle it; but no two of
them agree as to the method, and
the worst of it is, never will.
The ten or more 1100-pound

A great deal has been said in
expectation of Theodore Roose
velt's political tour of the state
this summer. Now comes the
news disappointing to many
that he will remain in the State
but four days. As teddy runs
with the spark advanced and the
muffler open, we have no fear
that all will not hear him.

About 1G0 pounds of meat is
consumed by each man, woman
and child in the United States
each year. England, which is
the biggest meat eater in Europe
only consumes 120 pounds. A
mericans eat too much meat for
their health. Meat should be
eaten sparingly during the hot
s?ason even men engaged in
manual labor should not eat it
more than once a day.
Mr. Thomas II. Truax and hi3
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. John L. Yeakle, of Thomp
son township, arose at their usu
al time Monday morning, did up
all the accustomed chores on the
farm, backed out their Ford tour
ing car, and were in town by sev
en o'clock. They have had this
machine for a year, and Mr. Tru
ax thinks that time saved in this
way goes a long way toward pay
ing expenses for the upkeep of
an auto. He said that he was in
hearty sympathy with the News'
efforts to get people out to work
bad places in the public roads.
He made particular mention of
the "frolic" idea as being about
the only way for immediate relief.

Get the Big Head.
One year ago this month, Scott
Tritle, of Ayr township, exhibit
ed a nine-inch head of wheat at
this office, and a Cornell student
of agriculture wrote for it to
preserve and plant; but the spike
got lost. On Monday . we were
approached by a business man
who had heard of the large spike
and he said that he hoped Big
Cove farmers would this year go
through their fields and collect a
sheaf of the largest and best
heads of wheat, and keep it sep
arate to sow in a patch by itself
for seed this fall. Then, next
year, amuse themselves by care
fully picking the choicest of the
product for another sowing, un
til the whole would produce its
kind.
We will add that this is the
way to get practically new vari
eties of any kind of plant. If a
head of wheat shows superiority
among its fellows, save it, as it
will more than likely reproduce
itself, and in a short time enough
could be had to plant a field.
"Big head" may be objection
able in men, but six-inch heads
of wheat yield twice as many
bushels to the acre as three-inch
heads. A Pennsylvania farmer
bred corn in this way until a
seedhouse now takes his whole
crop and retails it at four dollars
a bushel. v

Hawks and Quail.
In conversation with Mr. R. R.
Hann of Licking Creek township
last Saturday while . in McCon-
nellsburg, he told a story of how
a small hawk beat him out of a
whole flock of quail last
when he tried tq feed them
winter.
A covey of hfteen kept near
his house, but a small hawk, too
smart to get shot, got four of
them. The remaining ele v e n
then began coming to the side of
his porch for feed placed there
for them in some straw. Mr.
Hawk, nothing daunted, followed
and took regular toll of the covey
at times when the gun was be
hind the door, until he got all but
one.
During one of the hawk's rapid
darts into the covey at the house
it evidently miscalculated the dis
tance across the six-foot porch,
and struck a window a glancing
blow, that would have killed it
had it struck squarely. It will
require greater eloquence on the
part of our Game Commission to
convince farmers that hawks
small or large are not obnoxious.

Spring
Announcement.
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.
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 the 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.

To Avoid Drought.
Uover hay will be short in
many places in the County this
year, on account of the drought.
In a few localities where the soil
held moisture better than other
soils, the hay will be a very fair
crop. Our State Experiment sta
tian is trying to get more farm
ers to learn how to conserve mois
turefor just such occasions. Part
of the method is to plough down
more vegetable matter, as this is
the substance that absorbs and
retains moisture. It is claimed
that more money will be made in
after years if a short hay crop
be sacrificed, ploughed down, and
if possible, the field sowed to
something say soy beans, crim
son clover, &c, to plough down
a second time before any attempt
be made to take a crop from that
field. In this way, Nature's law
is more nearly restored to effec
tive operation, and a dry spell is
then not nearly so disastrous,
It requires a lot of nerve to rob
the hay mow of part of a crop in
order to gain advantage for fu
ture crops: but. unless the farm
is not intended for future use,
the seeming loss of profit for one
season puts more money into the
purse for years afterward.

The Hogestowu Show.
A "big-little" show that is not
heralded very far outside of
Cumberland county is the annual
Hogestown animal show that
takes place in a twelve-acre
woods not far from Mechanics
burg. A number of years ago
a few farmers began taking farm
animals there for a one-day show
just among themselves, select
ing a day between planting and
harvesting seasons. Interest
grew each year until one day did
not satisfy the exhibitors and
visitors, and for several years
two days have been given over to
the picnic, for that really is what
the show amounts to. Rivalry
to exhibit best stock at this "big
little" show has stimulated local
breeding of better stock more
than any plan that could be de
vised, for it is all "home made."
Exchanges and sales are made to
the mutual advantage of both
parties; and. altogether, it is a
little the dandiest farmers' pic
nic in all that section, although
not far from the famous William's
Grove.
To Test Road Law.
W. E. Clark, a Lycoming coun
ty farmer, has determined to find
out to just what extent the state
highway department can be held
responsible for the condition of
state roads. The department has
been repeatedly notified of the
bad condition of a part of a road
in the vicinity of Clark's farm,
and as no effort has been made
to repair the dangerous places,
the farmer has decided to have
the necessary work done and to
send the bill to the state depart
ment. If payment is refused, the
case will be taken into court.
Clark now has a large force of
men at work on the highway.
