A recent law provides that no game taken in the state of Penn sylvania may be shipped from one point to another unless the owner accompany same. The Secretary interprets the law to mean that it shall apply to par cel post, freight, express, rural mail carriers, and private con veyances. The law further states that when game is being carried by the owner either by train or by any other conveyance, it shall be carried on the person or pack ed in such manner that there will be no doubt as to contents of packages, with owner's name and address plainly marked, and the package must be of easy access for inspection. A McConnelle burg hunter who goes to the country for a few days may not send his kill home by friends unless the' owner goes with it The owner and carrier would be subject to same fine as if game was killed out of season. .

Whereas, The Church of Jesus Christ on Earth is the means by, with, and under, which Almighty God establishes his Kingdom on earth; and Whereas, That Liquor Traf fic is a great, organized enemy of the Kingdom of God, a fearful menace to any community in which it is licensed, and is now assuming such tremendous pro portions in McConnellsburg in view of the proposed increase of licenses; and Whereas, The laws of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania declare the citizens' right to re monstrate to the license court against the licensing of hotels shall be taken into consideration as well as the petition for license by the court; and since the church of McConnellsburg has come to a crisis now that it must stand in the Command of God "to put the evil from their midst" or die, be it, Resolved: 1. That we the members of the church of Jesus Christ of McCon nellsburg, and others, openly op pose the onslaughts of the Li quor Traffic. 2. That we men, women, and children, sign our names to the remonstrau es to be presented to the license Court. 3. That since it is a long estab lished ruling of the Protestant Church, contrary to which a min ister may not go, that the mem ber of the church who signs a liquor license be disqualified while his name appears , on the paper, we request our brethren, mem bers of the church and friends not to sign the licenses, and if they have signed unwittingly al ready, that they remove their names from the license petition at once. 4. That, since it requires the names of twelve men only, who are voters among us to validate a license petition, we fulfill the commands of Our Lord wherein he says, "Come out from among them and be ye separate," and come out from among them and separate ourselves from them. 5. That we have printed in our County papers in the name of the Church of McConnellsburg the names of all those who sign the license papers this year so we may know who they are that the Lord holds responsible and asks of us to come out and be separ ate from. 6. That our church councils with others who are interested have a union meeting in the near future and start the circulating of the remonstrances which we will sign. 7. That these resolutions be printed in the county papers. Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe in his allwise providence to call from this earth a member of the Ladies Aide Mrs. Charles Mel lott, and Whereas, While we humbly bow to the will of him who doeth all things well, yet we cannot but feel we have been bereft of a good Campanion, whose mem ory we will ever cherish for her good qualities and whose virtues shall ever be emulated; and be it Resolved, That we the mem bers of the Ladies Aide Society of Hustontown, Pa., tender her husband and son our heartfelt sympathy and condolence and call upon God to comfort and sustain them in this their time of sorrow.

D., LL D., Commissioner of Health. Since our primitive ancestors squatted around the cookery pots after hunts for food stuffs, an inconceivable amount of effort has been expended in the prac tice of the art of preparing food. Considering the energy spent in experimentation the accumula tive knowledge has not been ex tensive. Every member of the . human race from early childhood to the grave now depends principally upon cooked food to maintain life. It is not without reason that cookery is called an art , There is nothing which does more to build up and maintain good health than the proper preparation of food. It may be considered the first essential. It is commonly considered a menial task, yet next to motherhood it is one of the most important Thanks to modern methods of transportation and commercial enterprise there has never been a time in the history of mankind when so vast a selection of food stuffs was at the disposal of all people. This should prove a large asset to the race, for a vari ety of foods well prepared serves to give a well balanced nour ishment conducive to proper growth and sustenance of body and brain. Improperly cooked foods lead quicker to distress of body and mind than almost any other fac tor. Poverty, unhappiness and dissipation can in many in stances be traced to poor cooking. Among the least expensive foods, we may find, if well pre pared, those which form a nour ishing and tasteful diet With the necessity for economy be coming more pressing as the pop ulation of the world increases, there is no one line of effort better worthy of study and attention than the science of economical wholesome cookery for man is indeed what he eats. Kicked by Horse. Last Sunday a horse kicked George Garner who lives west of the Ridge, on one of his legs be low the knee, cutting a deep gash about an inch long. Blood flowed freely from the wound and for a time it was feared he would bleed to death. Dr. Mos ser happened to be in the neigh borhood calling on another pa tient and he was called to dress the cut. He found a small vein opened; but was able to stop the flow and make the sufferer com fortable. George Bradnick's children, of Knobsville, have whooping cough. er E. Baldwin Fraker was by the decree of an overuling providence called from his earthly suffering to a home where pain and sorrow are unknown where' the weary find rest be it therefore,' Resolved, That in the death of Brother Fraker the members of the Fort Littleton Epworth League fully recognize that they have lost one of their members who was at all times interested in the work of the League and was a faithful member. Resolved, That the sincere and heartfelt sympathies of this League are hereby extended to the bereaved wife and friends, whose loss we, with them, deep ly mourn. Resolved, That as a token of love and esteem for our. deceased brother, the charter of our League be draped in mourning for thirty, days. Resolved, That these resolu tions, be entered on the minutes of the League; also, that that it be puhlished jn the Fulton Coun ty News, and a copy given to the bereaved wife. Anna M.

WELLS TANNERY. The social gotten up by the Boy Scouts last Saturday was well patronized. Oar boys are ambitious and want to do right in what tbey have undertaken.

He is now some better, and it is hoped that bis recovery may be speedy. The State Road between Need more and Hancock is now in such excellent condition fiat thfl trav el on that highway has very much increased both m the way of horse, and motor drawn, vehicles. Wonderful Hens. On the last day of October, an egg-laying contest of 365 days was completed at the Delaware Experimental Station. One pen of five hens averaged 242 eggs per hen for the year. One of these hens named "Lady Eglan tine," laid the largest number of eggs laid by one hen in 365 con secutive days 314 eggs. She began laying on September 2, 1914, and missed but 51 days dur ing the year, while the average Pennsylvania hen misses at least 300 days. She is a White Leg horn, and weighs three and a half pounds. 314 Leghorn eggs weigh 35 to 40 pounds. It will be seen that this hen produced from ten to eleven times her own weight in eggs. To accomplish such marvelous results she had to be kept in the pink of health by cleanliness and wholesome food and pure water. She was given every variety of food that a hen must have to keep vigor ous and manufacture eggs. Eggs from such hens sell for as much as $5 each, and her owner says her weight in gold would be re fused for her. Hens for egg-laying purposes are developed by trap nesting. Nests are arranged in a simple manner so that when a hen en ters she traps herself and after she has laid the keeper releases her and keeps an account of her eggs. When a hen is thus found to be a good layer, her eggs are hatched and the best layers from these are saved. This process is repeated until the owner has nothing but heavy layers in his flock, for, as soon as a hen is found that does not produce the required number of eggs, she is sold to the butcher. It has been found that the male bird, bred from heavy layers, has more to do with reproducing layers than any other similar factor in the business of producing egg-laying strains of poultry. Rural Credit And Rural Tariff. The South and the West and the Northern agricultural states have much to learn in the way of rural thrift from the New Eng land rural communities. The constant cry is easier credit for the farmer, but what the farmer most needs is more thrift Some of the Southern states are cursed with crop lien laws which are holding back the rural communi ties by allowing a man to mort gage his future work and hopes and keeps him continually in debt instead of allowing him to lay something aside. It is an as tonishing fact that Massachusetts has five times more savings bank deposits than have twelve south ern states. In Massachusetts there are 3,300,000 people and 2, 250,000 of them have savings bank deposits. In three years the savings banks in connection with the public schools showed 1,400 000 deposits. Every school in the rural communities ought to have a course of "thrift talks' whereby the teacher could lay be fore the scholars the necessity of saving a portion of whatever money they might earn. This money could be deposited in sav ings banks and, later, when it has grown, could be used to pur chase good, safe bonds paying three and one-half to five per cent interest The child mind3, as well as the minds of those who are older, Bhould be impregnated with the fact that it is not what one earns that makes a compe tency for old age, but what one lays aside. Why Should They Worry? That Brush Creek Valley farm ers know how to farm, and that they have farms that" "know how" to produce, is evidenced by the yield this season. Minnick Mellott of Saluvia with his fine threshing outfit has just com pleted threshing the crops of the Brush Creek Valley Farmers, and reports a total wheat rye, oats and buckwheat of 26,863 bush AOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW.
