extent that it becomes impossible
to place an estimate upon its
worth. There is no enterprise
that does so much for the corpo
ration or the individual citizen as
the paper. It stands opposed to
the town knocker, the. town kick
er, the town fanatic and the town
drones. It stands for action as
against dry rot. It . stands - for
progress as against stagnation.
It is ever ready to combat the
schemes of visionaries and as rea
dy to aid the constructive plans
of the wise and level-headed citi
zens. It is for the upbuilding of
the community. The paper has
not yet come into its own, how
ever, because it is never appre
ciated to the extent of its worth
by the people at large. Yet when
battles are to be fought for town
or county a rush is made to the
newspaper office always to find
the loyal editor ready, frequent
ly without hope or reward. Many
other enterprises are encouraged
by a bonus, but rarely is the
newspaper offered any such help
and still more often not given the
support it is entitled to. Com
munities frequently lose sight of
their real benefactor when they
fail to recognize the weekly jour
nal as such. The editor and his
paper stand as the bulwarks of
defense against the attacks of
evil or designing schemes affect
ing the good of the individual or
the town. For these and other
reasons the newspapers of the
town and county should receive
the support of the public at large
in a very liberal degree, for it is
reallv the most important busi
ness enterprise of the community.
More Foot and Mouth Disease.
A herd of cattle belonging to
Guy Myton, of Shavers Creek
Valley, Huntingdon county, has
something wrong with them, and
indications point strongly to foot
and mouth disease. This is the
first instance of the appearance
of the disease in that county.
How did it get there? How does
an epidemic start anywhere?
Some person, beast, or bird must
have been where it was, and car
ried it there on clothing, fur or
feathers. Or, something that
had been in contact with the dis
ease might have been shipped to
this farm. Our own county has
escaped thus far; but there is no
telling when the foot and mouth
disease may break out in the
very centre of the County, in
probably the same mysterious
manner in which it did in Hunt
ingdon county. It would be very
wise policy to make sure that
nothing from the neighborhood in
which the scourge is known to
exist be permitted to come to our
farms until the plague is stamp
ed out of the sixteen, or more,
states in which it is now found.

Blames the Goosebone Men.
On last Friday, when S. D.
Mellott had finished counting out
a pile of greenbacks which he
gave to the editor in exchange
for sale bills, advertising, sub
scription, &c, he told a story
that should make those Down
East goosebone men sorry for the
way in which they have succeed
ed in mixing up the calculations
of the present generation of wild
geese. Mr. Mellott related that
some time in last December, dur
ing the week in which the ther
mometer registered below zero.
the Misses Katharine and Diana
Smith, of Pleasant Grove, observ
ed a large flock of wild geese fly
ing northward. The geese were
flying in regulation style, and, to
all appearances, were perfectly
intelligent geese. It will be re
membered that one set of goose
bone men predicted an early,
short winter, while another set
prophesied that we would have a
long, hard winter. Therefore
the explanation that our Belfast
township friends can give for the
strange action of our migratory
relatives is, that they read the
report of the short-winter proph
ets, and, being industrious crea
tures, they attempted to steal
march on their more stupid breth
ren, in order that they might se
lect and preempt the most favor
able feeding grounds for the
spring and summer of 1915. We
are inclined to think that those
goosebone men should gettogeth
cr and establish a more reliable
school of philosophy.
