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,

kitchen utensils, and numerous
other articles. Mail orders filled.
Cash must accompany order in

Starve the Hessiam My.
Those interested in the control
of the Hessian fly can get all the
latest methods by sending a post
al to the Department of Agricul
ture, Washington, D. C, and
ask for if. The act of starving
out the fly put3 the ground in the
best of condition for following
crops. The Department's Week
ly News Letter fully explains the
several stages through which the
fly passes, and tells when it can
be destroyed. A complete dia
gram of the different stages ac
companies the bulletin. Send for
the bulletin at once or it will be
too late for use this season.

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

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.
