An item of interest to ladies
(and to some men) is, that after
many trials and failures, a per
fect, mechanical dishwasher has
been made and put on the mark
et. They cost $15 for family
size.
The very efficient and popular
priced little Ford autos have be
come so numerous that they are
now referred to as "road lice,"
not a very euphonious term, but
is American, inasmuch as it is
expressive.
While John Shaffer who lives
west of town, was standing on a
ladder picking cherries, one day
last week, a hog knocked the lad
der from under him and he fell
about eight feet. Mr. Shaffer
was considerably bruised, and
pretty sore for a few days.
Suppose that one just one
little boy should die of lockjaw,
as a result of burns from the lit
tle toy pistols used during the
week of July fourth, wouldn't it
throw this town into a frenzy of
excitement? We have been hear
ing the snap, snap of the deadly
caps for some time. Will the
victim be your boy? Death from
tetanus is a fearful thing.
A combination boat and flying
machine ha3 been completed at
Ilammondsport, N. Y., in which
several men will attempt to fly
across the Atlantic ocean. The
machine ha3 been tried thorough
ly on a lake, and it seems to do
all that will be required of it.
The flyer will be shipped to a
point on the Canadian coast and
the start made some time in July.
Total weight of the machine and
its load will be over 3,000 pounds.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
heir to the Austro-IIungarian
throne, and his wife, the Duches
of Hohenberg, were assassinated
on Sunday while autoing in the
streets of Sarayevo the Bosnian
capital. The young man who
killed them, first threw a bomb
which the Duke saw coning and
which he warded off with his
arm. The bomb fell under an
other auto and exploded. Had
the Duke lived, he would have
succeeded Emperor Francis Joseph.
WHY IULTQN COUNTY
MERCHANTS SHOULD
ADVERTISE IN THE
FULTON COUNTY NEWS.
Written for the News by

Canulen, N. J.
"Going Sonic!"
If grandfather could be shown
a business which had developed
from nothing a year to as much
as ten million a year in the short
space of five years, he would be
more astounded than at the sight
of a flying machine, a ride in a
submarine boat or at receiving a
wireless message.
The Firestone Tire Rubber Co.,
of Akron, Ohio, built their sales
up from zero to ten million dol
lars a year within five years,
through advertising.
For a Chinaman there would
be some excuse for following an
tique commercial methods of the
forefathers. It is a part of a
Chinaman's upbring.
For you, there is no excuse.
You live in a progressive age.

and in Fulton County News,

columns of which are at your
command.
Will Pennsylvania Join?
Nineteen states now require an
examination in agriculture to be
passed before a teacher may ob
tain a certificate to teach. An
exchange ask3 the question "Will
Pennsylvania join this group?"
We are a little surprised at that
exchange. Does it not know that
there are no pickings in it for
politicians? Does that exchange
forget why this state lost Alva
Agee, the best friend the farmer
ever had? Money appropriated
to State College could not be di
verted into the pockets -of poli
ticians, and for that reason that
school was given as little as pos
sible. The result was, that Prof
Agee was ashamed of the nig
gardly way in which the school
was handled, and he and two
others left that institution more
than a year ago. Such a howl
then went up from the press of
the country that the bosses had
a spasm of reform for a short
time, and they granted a few re
forms, to save their faces. Our
present governor said in just this
many words, "The farmer is get
ting too much now." Well, three
other states think differently,
and three other states now enjoy
the work of three of the most
consciencious friends our farm
ers ever had.

. A plow has been invented that
will work night and day without
the aid of either horse or men. A
little tractor with plow attached
is connected by a cable to a post
set in the center of the field, like
a piece of chalk on the end of a
string when used to draw a cir
cle. The motor plow is then
started at the outer edge of the
field and as it can move only in a
circle, the cable is wound around
a drum on the post in the center
of the field, and the plow made
to work inward just the width of
another furrow, until all the rope
is wound up and the motor plow
in the center of a nicely ploughed,
circular field. We cannot con
scientiously recommend this plow
for Fulton county; but we publish
the foregoing item just to show
the progress that is being made
toward solving the farm labor
problem. Do not be in any hur
ry to buy this automatic plow.
Better buy an automobile.
Postmaster in Truuble.
On May 27 last, Postoffice In
spector A. B. Crawford found
that J. Frank Raifsnider, post
master at Orrstown, was short
in money orders, $04.57; postal
receipts $18.95. The amounts
named were demanded by the in
spector but Raifsnider would not
or could not pay. Later it was
paid for him by some friends.
Raifsnider admits the shortage
butjclaims that it was not in vio
lation of the code.
Last Friday. Deputy U. S.
Marshall Snyder, of Harrisburg
went to Orrstown, arrested Raif
snider on the charge of embezzle
ment, and took him before Com
missioner Bonbrake in Chambers
bur e. who set the bail at $500.00.
After having furnished the ne
cessary bondsmen, Raifsnider
was released for a hearing in the
U. S. District court in Harrisburg
on the 7th of December. He was
nromntly removed from the of
fice and. a successor appointed.
He is a Democrat and took the

Uncle Sam's Birthday.
Uncle Sam will be 138 years
old on Saturday. The age limit
of the class to which he belongs
is not three score and ten, so
that he is but a young fellow yet.
About fifty years ago he donned
long pants, but some of his lov
ing friends succeeded in forcing
him to continue to wear several
little foibles of boyhood days.
He is putting up such a kick
about it, now that he has grown
a mustache, that the little bows
and ribbons will not be worth re
placing when he is through. We
cannot find fault with his desires
in that matter.
Some historian says that Uncle
Sam was officially born on July
8th, instead of the 4th, and work
men are at present digging in
Independence Square, about fifty
feet from the present site of In
dependence Hall, to find the old
foundations of another building
from the porch of which it is al
leged that the Declaration of In
dependence was read in public
for the first time. But no mat
ter what the find may be, we
have accepted July 4th as the day
to celebrate, and July Fourth it
will continue to be. We may
modify our form of celebration,
but cannot change the day.
Uncle was born in time of war,
and it seemed but natural, that
the booming of cannon should be
part of the day's festivities.
Americans, however, are prone
to take short cuts to an end, and
they imported a contraption in
vented by the heathen Chinese
to scare away devils and evil
spirits. This handy firecracker
cracked so many fingers and
thumbs of our boys, and so many
of them died horrible deaths from
tetanus, that city fathers yielded
to the demand of the times and
forbade their sale. Maybe there
will be enough old cannon before
long to supply each and every
town with one, and then we will
return to the old safe and sane
way of celebrating the fourth of
July, by looking at the cannon
instead of listening" to it
Children's Day.
Children's services were held
in two of the churches in town
last Sunday. In the morning, ser
vices were held in the Reformed
church, and, in the Methodist, in
the evening. Careful preparation
had been made by the teachers
and friends of both Sabbath
Schools, and the delightful man
ner in which the young people
rendered their parts reflected cred
it on both teachers and pupils,
All who attended speak in glow
ing terms of the services. Misa
Lena Dunlap, of Newark, N. J.
entertained the audience in the
Methodist church by reciting an
appropriate piece.
