After having visited among relatives and friends in Fulton county, Miss Margaret Patterson returned to her home in fumber land county Tuesday afternoon, Margaret likes to come to Fulton county when the sliding is good. The State now owns about 1, 000,000 acres of what was once 'timber lands. Millions more might as well be bought by the State, as the land is not fit for agricultural purposes, and what little timber remains on it is be ing rapidly wasted. Roy B. Fogelsanger, of Cum berland county, came over the mountain to McConnellsburg Monday evening, and on Tues day looked over the Alex Patter son farm in the Cove. Mr. Fo gelsanger is Alex's son-in-law .(Janet's husband). He is pleased with the appearance of the Cove, and will likely take charge of the farm in the spring. John N. Duvall, of Wells Val ley, finding his corncribs empty did not go to Egypt for a supply, but came all the way to Big Cove last week for a load of corn Two days later he returned, not to bring back anybody's silver cup, but to secure another load of corn for which he left some silver coin of the realm. Corn is selling here for $1.25 per barrel for best quality. Now that snow covers the ground, chickens cannot find pro per kind of grit. Oyster shells will not answer for grit they are too soft If you cannot buy grit, pound up all the broken chi na you can find, flinty rocks, limestone, or any stone that will break with sharp edges and cor ners. Grit from streams is no good, as the edges are always worn off. The health of your hens depends largely upon the supply of grit If you live on slate land, it pays to buy sharp grit all the year. Slate is too soft for proper grit There is a story going the rounds of our exchanges telling how a certain lady was left with the management of a farm, and that the first thing she did was to send the hired man to State College for training. The story adds that she soon made up for this expense by the increased productiveness of her farm, and by the elimination of a lot of wasteful methods. The only strange thing we can discover in this story is that, knowing the advantage, many more do not bundle off the hired man to have him scientifically trained. j "IN A BAD WAY." Many i McConnellsburg Reader Will Feel Grateful for Tbis Information. If your back.gives out; Becomes lame, weak or aching; It urinary troubles set in, Perhaps your kidneys are "in a bad way." Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Local evidence proves their merit. Mrs. Lucinda Clevenger, Wa terJSt., McConnellsburg, says; "I was in poor health for some time. My back ached badly ai)d I couldn't do my housework. 1 had dizzy spells and chills and was annoyed by the kidney secre tions. Often swelling appeared under my eyes, and I was very nervous at night. I was trou bled by rheumatic twinges. I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Trout's Drug Store and since then I haven't been troubled by my back or kidffeys.' Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's. Kidney Pills the same that M rs. Clevenger had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buf falo, N. Y. Advertisement. Swindlers.' A few days ago we read two columns of accounts of farmers having been swindled by answer ing doubtful advertisements. Human nature is so prone to try to get something for nothing, or for half price, that swindlers find no difficulty in finding plenty of "fish" of a certain sort Here is a common method of swindling, namely, some man, a couple of hundred miles away, will ad vertise in our community that he will pay such-and-such prices for chesnuts, shellbarks, furs, but ter, eggs, and many other sta pies that always afford ready sale. He always offers from half to twice as much more or these things as he knows the shipper can get anywhere else. The re suit is that there are always enough innocent persons ready to ship him their goods, that in course of a few days he receives sufficient quantities to make a nice roll of cash, and before the swindled shippers can put the po lice on his track he has skipped to parts unknown, and the ship per loses all he sent There are nearly always some earmarks on the advertisement that should arouse suspicion. But if we feel that we cannot re sist his tempting offer, we should always write before shipping to some bank, or to a reliable firm, to find out if the advertiser is reliable. Sale Register.

It has been the policy of the News to follow up its observa tions by summing them up and commenting on them in a way that might lead to best results to our subscribers. For many years we have observed that the price of good apples gets very high in McConnellsburg during January and February. The reason for the high prices is due to the fact that few people are prepared to keep apples in good condition during these months. The lack of proper storage places near by eauses a scarcity of the fruit soon after the holidays. A few grow ers bury their apples, and open the "holes" in the spring. But these apples will not keep long after they are taken out of their winter burying place, and they must be disposed ot in so many small lots that few farmers think it worth while tq go to the trou ble of trying to preserve them in this way. Now, it is well known that when apples are carefully picked and properly handled from the moment they are taken from the trees, then stored at just the right temperature, they may be removed during the winter, in original packages, and sold at good prices, and when the retail ers are taught to depend for fresh weekly supplies from the local storage house, the growers find no trouble in disposing of large quantities. Besides this, hundreds of farmers will each buy a barrel or more for private use. A public storage room, properly iced each winter by the company owning it would be a bout all the expense attached to this system for Big Cove and its contributing territory, and we re spectively submit the question to our enterprising readers. Where an ice plant would not be profit able, , natural ice stored during the previous winter would last until cold weather again comes. Give The Boy a Chance. The world's record for corn raising belongs to WalterL. Deen son, an Alabama boy, yet in his early teens. Last year this boy raised 232 bushels of corn on a single acre of land, which is the largest yield per acre ever record ed. This remarkable record was made by an ordinary boy and on ordinary land. He became inter ested in corn raising and studied into the matter of the kind and proper use of fertilizers and prop er cultivation. As a result of putting his knowledge to practi cal use, he has raised 232 bush els of corn on an acre of land, thereby winning the champion ship of the world. What Walter L. Deenson has done serves to show what a common everyday out-and-out boy can do if he is given the chance. There are thousands of ambitious boys on the rich farms of this state who never knew what it is to be en couraged to take an interest in agriculture or stockraising. If these boys were given a small plot of gronnd and some seed corn for example, to plant and cultivate, a circus would not be able to turn their thoughts very far away from the "enchanted spot" where a wonderful harvest will be theirs to reap. A boy may not be able to raise 232 bush els of corn on an acre of his fath er's land, but he can do well enough to make his efforts worth while. What boy in this county is going after that world's cham pionship record next year? "Self-Denial Week." Presbyterians throughout the country have been asked to deny themselves at least one luxury during the week beginning next Sunday and to contribute the amounts thus saved toward a fund of $430,000 which is needed to pay the church debt. The re quest for the observance of "self-denial week" has been sent out by the Rev. Dr. Maitland Alexander of Pittsburgh, moder ator of the Presbyterian General Assembly. It is stated by the heads of the church organizations and mission boards that because of the war and general business depression there is not a church body that has not suffered and nearly all have closed the year with a debt. The Presbyterian board have fallen behind to the extent of $430,000. Subscribe for the "News' only $1.00 a; ear. Think This Over. . When a newspaper gives you a lot of free advertising in order to boom some concert or enter tainment in which you are inter ested, keep track of the lines that are printed week by week and multiply that number by the reg ular advertising rates of the pa per. Compare the results with the actual money value of any fa vor that you get from any other business concern. Then take in to consideration the fact that ad vertising and circulation are the only two things that a newspaper has to sell. Now in these days of higher prices, how much do you think it ought to give away? Wanted, For Sale, For Rent, Lost, Found, Etc. RATES One cent per word for each Insertion.
