Uncle Sam Going Out. Uncle Sam is gradually going out of the rum business. Under the wave of state-wide prohibi tion and local option which is sweeping from coast to coast, sta tistics from Washington indicate a falling off of $20,000,000 in fed eral revenues from liquor during the present fiscal year. Liquor men, who have been putting on a bold front and issu ing highly-colored tales of how "prohibiton does not prohibit," are discredited by Uncle Sam's own figures. Their hectic asser tions that liquor consumption per capita in the United States, with three-fourths of the national ter ritory already dry, is on the in crease, become "fallacies" in the face of the "facts." Even Pennsylvania, one of rum's last strongholds in the Un ion, got rid of 351 saloons during the year. Buy Lime This Year. Owing to the impossibility of getting potash in sufficient quan tities from Germany, the price has soared until it is now out of reach for fertilizing purposes. We think it would be wise there fore, to use the money that would otherwise have been spent for potash, to buy lime. There is more or less native potash in all soils, but it is not always avail ablelocked up in combination with the soil. Lime helps to liberate it. The lime will not hurt any thing fact is, nearly all of our fields need it, whether we buy or do not buy potash. Lime makes clover, clover makes rich soil and rich soil makes all crops good. More New Goods. Among the new thing3 to be found at Mertie E. Shimer's store are pink, blue and white stock ings for ladies, 25c. pair; beauti ful new beads 25c, white aprons, neck cords, more of those extra value ladies' drawers and corset covers 25c, large gauze vests 10c, wide and narrow laces, white dust caps, gingham and percale aprons, talcum powder, tooth powder, face powder, toilet wa ter, face cream, hair tonic, glyc erine and rose water lotion, soaps, perfumes, fresh candies, dishes, kitchen utensils, and numerous other articles.

Grove in Ayr township. Inquire of J. L. Grove, MoConnellsburg, Pa, 8t GOSSIP TOWN. t'rlntcd by KequeHt. Have you ever heard of Gossip Town On the shore of Falshood Bay Where old Dame Rumor with a rustling gown Is going the livelong day? It isn't far to Gossip Town For people who want to go. The Idleness train will take you down In just an hour or so. The Thoughtless road is a popular route And most people start that way; But it's steep down grade if you don't look out You'll land in Falshood Bay. You glide through the valley of Vicious Talk And into the Tunnel of Hate; Then, crossing the Add-To bridge, you walk Right into the City Gate. The principal street is called "They Say" And "I've-Heard" is the public well And the breezes that blow from Falshood Bay Are laden with "Don't-You-Tell." In the midst of the town is "Tell-Tale" Park, You'r never quite safe while there, For it's owner is Madam "Suspicious Remarks" Who lives on the street "Don't Care." Just back of the park is "Slanderer's Row," 'Twas there that "Good-Name" died Pierced by a shaft from "Jealousy's Bow" In the hands of "Envious Pride.'' From Gossip Town peace long since fled; But "Trouble," and "Grief" and "Woe" And "Sorrow" and "Care" you'll meet instead If you ever chance to go. A Chance for You. We are going to help you and ourselves at the same time. We are going to educate you up to the value of using the classified department of The News. Have you any idea of the money you could make if you were to let all the people in this county know what you had for sale? Do you know that no matter how appa rently useless some article has grown, some other person has a use for that article and will buy it? But he cannot buy it if he does not know where to get it In the big cities the classified de partments of the newspapers are as interesting as the news col umns. In fact they contain real live news. And those who use them are reaping great advanta gesboth the buyers and the sel lers. Of late the smaller papers are pushing their classified depart ments into more prominence. The other day we picked up a weekly, published in a county seat town in Wisconsin. Its class ified column was "A Wonder." Apparently everyone in the coun ty was using and reading it Lack of space prevents us from reproducing it, although we would like to do so. But here are a few of the things that were advertis ed for sale by the farmers and the townspeople: Houses, lots, farms, glass cupboard, chickens, sewing machine, turkeys, rugs, eggs, upholstered goods, crock ery, geese, butter, correspon dence school course, cheese, feath ers, manure incubator, horses, finger ring, automobile, jars . of fruit fence posts, hogs, fplain and fancy,) embroidery lessons, suit of clothes and a fur overcoat home made bread, a colt, library of 100 volumes, home knit socks, cream separator, two calves, con crete block machine, tame bear, gasoline engine, heating stove, hay, rag carpets, home cured hams and bacon, wind mill, gen eral store, soy beans, alfalfa meal, desk and chair, typewriter, cabi net organ, short horn bull, bird dog, hay stacker, five tons of coal and a gun. Perhaps you want to buy a sec ond hand gun, sewing machine, mower, or any other article; per you have something you would like to trade for something else, let it be know through the News for it is read by more than three times as many people as any oth er paper in the County. It doesn't cost much only a cent a word for one time, and one time generally does the business. If you send in by mail, count every word including initials that will appear in the advertisement, and seqd along as many cents in pos tage stamps as there are words and we will do the rest McConnellsburg and Chambers burg Touring Car Line will leave Fulton House, McCon nellsburg, and Memorial Square, Chambersburg, on the following schedule: (Daily Except Sunday) Leave McConnellsburg 7.30 a. m., arrive Chambersburg 9.30 a. m. Leave Chambersburg 1.40 p. m arrive McConnellsburg 3.40 p. m. Fare $1.25. Home-Made Dryers. A writer in the Oklahoma Farm Journal gives the following de scription of the way peaches are dried in the great peach districts of New York where most of the dried peaches in the United States come from. Any carpen ter can build these efficient dry ers or evaporators. They are simply little square buildings built over a pit or little cellar- large enough to hold a stove. Usually, the building is eight feet square, inside measurement, and made without floor as no one ever enters the building, couldn't if he wanted to. The little build ing is filled with trays made with wooden sides and wire mesh bot toms, two tiers of trays to each of the two opposite sides of the building. These trays it will be readily seen, are just four feet square and are pushed in from outside of building. The trays must be kept about six inches apart up and down. The outer side of the trays must either fill all space like bureau drawers, or doors must be made to keep the heat in, and the rain, dust and light, out. Suppose you have six trays to a tier two tiers to a side it will be seen that twenty four trays jist fill the evaporator Half peaches are laid in the trays a fire started in the stove down in the pit, and the heated air passes up through the trays and out through a ventilator in the comb of the roof. The pipe from the stove passes outside of the pit to any point desired as smoke must not enter the drying depart ment. The drying fruit must not be exposed to the air and light as that is what discolors home-dried peaches. From time to time the trays nearest the fire are shifted to the top so as to bring to all equal advantages. This office has had requests for the address of makers of dryers or evaporators as usually called, indicating interest in the busi ness of evaporating fruit but since these wooden evaporators are doing good service elsewhere and can be so cheaply made at home, we can see no reason why our Fulton county readers could not make them and save thou sands of bushels of fruit that is said to be going to waste every season. Berries and other fruit could be dried in them. Some Queer "Doio's." The following letter wa3 re ceived at this office last week: "The farmers of Pleasant Ridge are becoming interested concern ing private examinations of hors es that have been made at cer tain stables. Also, samples of milk have been obtained from cows at pasture by parties who Bhun the owners at that time. These we may call inspectors; but if inspectors of this type would be examined by the State board of examiners we presume they would fall short and be found lacking. We think it would be best for inspectors to get per mission or to make themselves known as we have trespass laws in Pennsylvania. Subsciber for the "News' only $1.00 a yet. Geo. W.
