ACT QllCKU
Delay Has Been Dangerous in McCon
nellsburg. Do the riRht thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In tune of kidney danger
Doan's Kidney lMis are most ef
fective. Plenty of McConnellsburg evi
dence of their worth.
Miss Sdsan Peightel, Main St ,
McConnallaburg, says: "I was in
poor health for some time and I
buhavo that weak kidneys caused
the trouble. I suffered greatly
from severe paina in my back,
which often darted into my head.
I became dizzy and had chills.
I was losing strength daily, and
felt poorly in every way. Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention and I procured a sup
ply at Trout's Drug Store. They
acted jast as represented and
brought me quick relief.
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a Kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Miss Peightel had.

Good Idea.
On Monday we saw J. L. Pat
terson, of the Brookside Farm,
take home a seed corn grader. It
is a simple instrument for sepa
rating kernels into three sizes.
In this way, but one size of grain
may be put into the cornplanter
to insure uniformity of planting.
After all of the largest size have
been planted, the planter may be
set to plant the same number of
grains of the next size, while a
third grade of very small seeds
may be either discarded, or the
planter again set closer, and
planted.

demands the utmost precaution In main
taining health at high efficiency because
it U doubly important 'and nothing in the
world is so needful as Scott's Emulsion,
good cheer and sunshine. Scott's Emul
sion makes the blood rich and pure. It
contains the vital flesh-building and bone
building properties and insures abundant
nourishment. It strengthens the nerves
and vital forces and creates energy dur
ing this period.
Scott's Emulsion is healthful and
wholesome medical nourishment, so
scientifically predigested that it is
promptly absorbed without taxing diges
tion and distributes strength to every
organ, and muscle, and fibre.
Expectant and nursing mothers always
Jieed Scott's Emulsion, but refuse the
alcoholic substitutes. At any drug store.

The Local Option Vote.
As told in a brief notice last
week, local option was again de
feated in the General Assembly.
The vote against it was greater,
and the vote for it was less, than
at some of the previous sessions,
as the following table will show:
For Against
Session of 1909 66 137
Session of 1911 76 121
Session of 1913 83 121
Session of 1915 78 128
The vote by political parties
at the present session was as fol
lows: For the bill -Republicans,
62; Democrats, 15; Washington, 1.
Against the bill Republicans,
103; Democrats, 25.
If you care to analyze the vote,
it will be seen that about 37 per
cent, of each of the two old par
ties voted for it. From this there
can be but one deduction, name
ly, that both parties are "tarred
with the same stick" and that
each party's members are 63 per
cent daubed.
We are by no means ready to
admit that the table of votes in
dicates the wishes of a majority
of the people. Bi-partisian cliques
are too well understood to
day to admit of any argument
that the people get what they
want. The refusal of the bi-par-tisian
cliques to permit the peo
ple to vote on the liquor question
by county units, proves that they
knew in advance that any such
move would prove the downfall
of the liquor interest in the state
The depreciation of distillery and
brewery stock's, and the conse
quent recent wrecking of brew
ery banks on account of the prog
ress prohibition is making in
other states, proves that the vote
does not indicate the people's
choice. As for the excuses offer
ed by representatives that they
voted according to the election
pledges, there is no moral ob
ligation upon any man to redeem
a pledge made to debauch man
kind. If a contract with the dev
il ha3 been made, there is no
law of equity, or honor, that com
pels its fulfillment. "Honor a
mong thieves" is but an imagi
nary quantity. There is no such
thing. What they mistakenly
call "honor" is fear of personal
loss nothing more. Considera
tion for the other fellow has
nothing whatever to do in
the case. Every vestige of
seeming consideration goes glim
mering the moment his own hide
is threatened. It's the kind of
"honor" wolves feel for each oth
er when the band is attacked and
one of the number be slain, the
others eat him. Why a man un
der contract with the devil does
not break the contract i3 because
he prefers to remain in that class
even though the whole civilized
world is holding out better in
ducements. For a newspaper of
pretentious aspirations to crow
over the "redemption" of Demo
cratic and Republican pledges of
some of the members of the pres
ent General Assembly, is to be
smirch its own white paper.
Slionld Be Cheap.
Chili is complaining of hard
times on account of her trade
with Germany having been cut
off. German farmers are said to
be the greatest users of nitrate
of soda in the world, and Chili is
dependent largely upon the sale
of this nitrate for revenue. It is
from this source that nearly all
the nitrogen of commerce comes.
Nitrogen is the costly ingredient
in commercial fertilizers. As it
comes to us from the mines, it is
about 15 per cent, pure, and at
one time, sold for about $00.00 a
ton. But of late years, the price
has dropped to $40.1)0 or $50.00.
It occurs to us that this would
be a good time for Americans to
lay in a good supply at very low
prices. One lone farmer could
do little to secure low prices, but
if we had a strong County organ
ization, with a good manager at
the head of it, we have no doubt
that a good supply of this wonder-working
plant food would
find its way to hungry soils
of our county, at very low cost.

saved the houses and other farm

The fierce winds drove the flames

tire fighters were scarcely able
to save their own lives. Sudden
ly the wind shifted reversely and
thus checked the flames until the
men got them uuder coutrol. The
woodlands of five or six farms
were burned over and old fields

sands of rails and other fencing

Our Steel
We Can Prove Its Superiority
Over a Wood Gear Wagon
f
l-". I -.11 riV.uTT I Hi
The Steel King
A Strong, Light Running Wagon
A steel wagon pear is not affected by exposure to snn and wind. Neither
does it check or bhrink. Steel is the most nearly jM-rfect material that has
ever been discovered for constructing machines in which great strength
is needed. In the Steel King wagon, steel in the form of reinforced plates
forms the body of the axle. A steel plate is riveted to the top of the axle,
protecting it and acting as a reinforcement. Angle steel is used in the
hounds, the front hounds being reinforced with six steel braces. This
construction is much stronger than that used on ordinary wood gears.
Steel King axles combine two strong features easily removable cast
skeins, the best wearing material known for this purose and an axle
considerably stronger than the usual construction. The steel bolsters are
adjustable in height from 8 to 14 inches and are extra strong at every height.
The Steel King is a good wagon, one that will give you faithful service.
Besides beiug goo J it is a good looking wagou. Come in and see it.
