MARCH HONOR ROLL.
Names of New Subscribers, and of Others Who
Have Paid Subscription, During
the Month of March.
Another month of the year 1915 has been reeled off, and we
give you the names of those who have just enrolled themselves as
member of the big "NEWS FAMILY," or have renewed their sub
scription. The subscription list of the Fulton County News is
growing steadily, and its friends will be pleased to know that its
subscription list is more than twice as large as the average circu
lation of the country weekly newspapers in Pennsylvania. For
this condition much of the credit is due to the loyal support of its
hundreds of friends, who call the attention of THEIR friends to
the NEWS, and are instrumental in increasing its circulation.
Look over the list of the March payers. See that vou are
properly credited, if you have paid during the month. See the
names of others who have paid. You know many of them. Per
haps you did not know that they are reading and paying for the
same newspaper you are taking. Here's the list :

A Laboratory of Thought.
Kansas and Wisconsin are now
running neck and neck when it
comes to freak legislation. The
odds are all in favor of Kansas,
the unique state - of the nuion,
Wisconsin has asserted a claim
which must be recognized. There
is, according to the Postal Guide,
a town near Lacrosse which is
indexed Waukon. In this little
town an ordinance has been pass
ed and is being enforced which
might interest the rest of the
country. A day is set aside every
year and is designated "Bring-It-Back-Day.
" Tho s e who
i borrow money, those who
borrow property, those who
borrow anything of a bor
rowable nature, are supposed on
this particular day to bring it
back, and if they do not comply
with the municipal edict the town
marshal goes after the borrowed
articles and brings it back any
waythat is, if he N can get it.
In Kansas the "Pay-Up-Week"
celebration has been a fruitful
success and this week of the 52
almost everybody who is in a
position to make restitution does
hia and her best to do so. Debt
is the secret foe of thrift. The
debt habit is the twin brother of
poverty, The great trouble of
the country is the credit system.
An unknown man with scarcely
and trouble, obtain credit . This
encourages many to go wrong,

People who have credit and do a
credit business buy more than
they need. To keep clean in the
eyes of the world, operate on a
cash basis. This is not always
possible. Some people have to
depend on credit to exist, but
when they are in this position
they must understand that they
are standing on the brink of dis
aster. In these two laboratories
of thought laws have been enact
ed which may seem foolish, but
there is logic in both. In neith
er case will the laws be held con
stitutional, but at the same time
they encourage some people to
do the right thing and pay up.
A small debt, many argue, pro
duces a friend. This is why
credits are so easily obtained, but
it must be remembered that a
large debt creates an enemy.
The pay-up-week idea and bring-it-back
day in Wisconsin are not
so foolish after all. There is so
much method in such leg;slation
that is should not be ridiculed.
The first step in debt is like the
first step in falsehood. It must
be followed up until one is hope
lessly involved. Pay up, bring it
back, keep yourself clear. The
way then will be free of obsta
cle's. Miss Alda Sharpe of Pleasant
Ridge is spending this week in
the home of her grandparents
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Sipes near
Hustontown.

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The. unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived m this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, s
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
