patch on your pantaloons, so
herewith I enclose some boodle
to place to my credit on the News
which is a welcome visitor to our
home here, although we feel
somewhat disappointed when we
do not find news from the north
ern end of the County. We trust
that some one in, or around. New
Grenada, may come out of his
hiding place before the eel-toada
begin to squeak, or the Father-
ooms or Bloodenouns sing their
bass solos along the banks of old
Sideling Hill creek, and "goto
it" and send a weekly letter to
the people who have gone out
from New Grenada and vicinity
and are depending upon the
News for that "Letter from
home."
From the fact that I am always
interested in the descriptions of
places given by writers in differ
ent parts of the country, I have
been led to believe that many of
the News readers would be in
terested in learning more about
this hustling "Rubber City."
During the past four years I have
been in Akron "tinkering
around" Neal's Millinery store,
owned and conducted by my son-in-law
Ellis W. Neal. During
this time, I have had an oppor
tunity to learn much of the city
and its industries. I am not the
only one here from Fulton coun
ty, and there are many residents
here that were born in the old
Keystone state.
Last Sunday afternoon when
more than y.UUO men were
in attendance at the Scoville tab
ernacle, those from the Keystone
state were asked to stand, and to
my surprise, fully one-third of
the great audience arose. There
are a number of persons here
from Wells Valley and adjacent
territory. Those whose mames I
readily recall are Miss Bessie
Willett, teacher in the public
schools; Miss Mabel Edwards,
music teacher; Bruce Willett,
carpenter; Mrs. Belle Markley
Davis, Miss Jessie Mason, teach
er, of McConnellsburg; Miss
Stella Gracey, Mt Union, soon
to graduate from the Actual Busi
ness College; Mr. and Mrs. How
ard Satterfield, Sixmile Run-
Mrs. Satterfield was Susan Ram
sey, formerly of New Grenada.
Mr. Satterfield clerks in an Acme
store, and Mary and Susan, in a
Department store. Miss Alma
McClain, of New Grenada, is
here at this time. It is very
pleasant to meet these friends.
There may be many more from
our part of Pennsylvania, but, as
the population of Akron is 100,
000, it would only be chance that
I should meet all of them.
Akron, sometimes called the
Rubber City, because of its man
ufacture of rubber goods es'
pecially automobile tires is situ
ate in the northeastern part of
Ohio, and is not without historic
interest
Rubber City? yes, twenty-
three or more rubber factories
making almost anything imagin
able in hard and soft rubber,
One factory alone has the output
of 10,000 automobile tires in a
single day.
There are two large Quaker
Oats plants, where flour, feed,
and cerrals are manufactured in
immense quantities. The Inter
national Harvester works, Whit
man & Barns Co., large pottery
and sewerpipe works, machine
shops, planing mills, concrete,
salt and ice plants, iron found
ries, and many other works go to
make up the city's industries.
Three trunkline railroads the
Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Erie and good
electric lines furnish transport'
tion. 24 graded schools, 66
churches, one each Masonic and
Odd Fellows' temples, 130 miles
electric lighted streets, 15 parks,
20 lakes bordered with summer
cottages, and on which there is
good boating and fishing, gives a
fair description of the city and
nearby country. When I say
good fishing, I think of my old
friend John A. Henry, of Clear
Ridge, and it would make him
anxious to start this way with
his fish pole. All right, brother,
come, and while I neither fish
nor know how to fish, I would be
glad to go fishing with you, and
carry the flsh that is if you
caught any. bee

What Could Be Done with the $2,000,000
Which the Full Crew Laws Arbitrarily
Take From the Railroads
Increased Railroad facilities, better service, greater safety and
convenience, business expansion and the employment of a great
number of men now idle would follow the repeal of the waste
ful Pennsylvania and New Jersey FuH Crew Laws.
FactsNot Theories
$2,000,000 would buy 200 steel coaches.
It would pay for 80 locomotive!. , -
It would purchase 67,000 ton. of rails.
It would return 5 per cent, on $40,000,000. '
It would block-signal 1000 miles of track.
It would eliminate 65 grade crossings.
It would pay for 2000 freight cars.
It would build 200 new stations at $10,000.
It would provide additional freight terminal facilities. i - - .
It would buy 2,500,000 railroad ties. 'j; "
It would pay for 2,000,000 tons of coal.
The iron and steel industry would be stimulated, furnish- - :
ing steel for new cars, rails, bridges, buildings, etc.
Miners and coke oven operatives would get increased
work as industry expanded.
New construction would mean busy times for the Lehigh
region cement plants and their workmen.
Thousands of architects, contractors, building trades
workers, electrical concerns and electricians, skilled
mechanics, carpenters, miners, and day laborers would
so get work.
With thexe incontestible facts thus clearly set forth, the
twenty-one railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey feel it
their duty to place the fate of the Full Crew Laws in the hands
of the people. They are convinced the people prefer that em
ployment be given to thousands for whom there actually is work to
knowing that $2,000,000 a year is being paid in mandatory wages
for extra men for whom there exists no essential service to per
form and whose presence, it has been conclusively shown,
increases rather than decreases the hazards of railroad
operation.

experience, and by listening to
the voice of wisdom, that any
place may have its advantages
and disadvantages. Our disad
vantage is that the water of the
lake, delivered by our water
system, is unfit for drinking
purposes, and spring water is
delivered to homes, stores,
offices, &c. in jugs, coolers and
bottles at three cents per gallon.
For this reason, strangers should
not form too hasty judgment as
to the "wetness" of the city
when they witness these deliver
ies of aqua pura. To buy water
seems strange to one who has
been accustomed to unlimited
supplies of the pure article, from
the old oaken bucket that hung
in the well.
Competition seems greater here
than in many other places. Yes,
there are many dollars, but many
more chase them, and everything
moves at a rapid pace so rapidly
that an "Old Uncle Josh" like
myself has to simply sidestep or
switch off, and I am fortunate if
I can even keep in Bight of the
Band wagon.
I have not forgotten the pic
ture that my comrade F. G. Mills,
of New Grenada, drew for me
when I first talked of stopping
here awhile. It was more truth
than poetry, and rather on the
discouraging line. I am neither
boosting nor knocking Akron, ,a3
none of it belongs to me. If
your Victrola man Ernest Mc
Clain has not the record by
name of "I Want to Go Back to
Michigan," get it and play, and
it will explain the case more fully.
In conclusion, will say that
with all the tangle of a busy,
noisy life, I never lose sight of
Old Fulton and my friends. Best
wishes to the News and all its
readers.
Are Digging for Gold.
A Path Valley correspondent
of Chambersburg papers writes
that a company has three men
employed digging for gold and
copper in the Narrows between
Concord and Blairs Mills. He
does not state that any gold
bearing ore has been taken out,
but Bince the location of a smel
ter is being discussed, and Con
cord is making preparations to
lengthen its belt, we presume
"color" must have glittered in
the workings. Here in McCon
nellsburg we "dig" for greenbacks.
