If so it's time to begin to plan for it First thirrjr is to select your date. See to it that nobody in your neighborhood has a sale on that day; that court week, which begins on the third Monday in March,' does not interfere; and see your auctioneer, whether he is open for that date. Having done this, notify the Fulton County News to place your sale in its register. It will staiicn til the day of sale and will not cost you anything if the News prints your bills. Why put it in the News? Well, it's like this: If you se lect a date for your sale and do not let anybody know it. there will not be any bidders at your sale. The more bidders you get to your sale, the more money you will get for your property. It's a very easy matter to lose from 50 to 500 dollars by not having the sale well advertised. That's reasonable. Well, then. The News goes into twice as many homes in Ful ton County as any other news paper. Yes; we can prove it Then, our bills. Do you see any others that are printed on better paper, or any more at tractive? Com to the News office for your sale advertising. ' Jcdgo Swope Elected.

Y01NGST0WN STRIKE RIOD. Former McConnellsbarg Boy, C. Eugene Linn, Sajs the Demon Rum Was Responsible for Bloodshed. Editor Peck: The great strike now on among the laborers of the Republic Iron and Steel Company and those of the Youngs town Sheet and Tube Company together numbering about 27,000 men, started over a demand of some of the Tube Mill laborers for a raise of wages from 19i cents to 25 cents an hour, which was refused by the employers. The dissatisfied men walked out, and by force, compelled many more to quit work. Some of the Sheet and Tube Mills men re mained in the mills, and when they tried to escape, they were fired upon by the strikers and a general riot followed in which dozens of onlookers, policemen, and strikers were killed, several buildings dynamited, many Bet on fire, and the firemen beaten back and prevented from extin guishing the flames. Stores were looted, saloons broken into,' and beer and whisky rolled into the streets and consumed by the mob mostly foreigners. It is said that beer and whiskey flowed in the streets like water. State troops now have matters partly under control, the strikers hav ing been driven to the hills. I am employed by the Republic Iron and Steel Company in the offices as Voucher Auditing Clerk and am in position to get in touch with all phases of the strike and I can say that but for the fren zied mobs, made so by the demon rum, such f earful ' consequences would not have been known. I firmly believe that this lesson will make Youngstown dry in 1916. Mr. C. A. Bard and Watson Plessinger, of Emmaville motor ed to McConnellsburg last Thurs day and attended to some busi ness. Bert has just sold his farm to a Somerset county man, and will have sale on the 3rd of Feb ruary, and retire from . farming for the present, A REMINDER OF JOHN BROWN'S RAID r.' r 'i - ii'it 9 i 4 It's Poeumococcos. That's what's the matter with youl It's not the purpose of the News to Rcare anybody to death but there is not any harm likely to result from your knowing the worst. That troublesome disease that doctors are puzzled to know how to treat and printers, to know how to spell called grip, grippe, lagrippe, La Grippe i3 now a thing of the past It has just been discovered that the "grip business" is all a mistake, and that the disease is really pneumococcus. Now, you'd bet ter be good ! The pneumococcus," says Dr. Emerson, Commissioner of Health in New York, is found in the throats of healthy men and wo men. When the vitality is so lowered that the body ha3 not sufficient power of resistance dis ease appears, mat pneumonia does not appear, is only due to the power of resistance. "With the beginning of winter comes a social whirl. In the hol iday season people are more fre quently in tightly packed thea ters and stuffy restaurants, mov ing picture shows and other plac es. They get less rest and sleep. Consequently there is a certain breaking down of resistance and conditions favorable to passing germs from one person to anoth er. The epidemic is the result." Whatever it may be called, the fact remains that when you be gin to sneeze, your nose begins to run, your head gets stuffy and your bones ache, it is time for you take care of yourself. Don't forget that the disease is "catch in" and do not take pains to go about any one who has it. It does not follow that you cannot be near any one who ha3 the dis ease without taking it yourself. Smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fe ver are highly contagious, and yet not every one who is exposed to contact with a patient having one or another of these diseases takes it . If your physical condi tion is perfect you have nothing to fear; if your system is run down, you have. That's all there is to it Use you handkerchief when you sneeze or cough, and thus avoid spreading the infection to those about you, , Y & WW Hra if H IV, . . 4 EFFICENCY OF GRANGE WORK. Clear Cot Expressions from the Pen of Irvie Dull Dohmaa of Gosh en, Washington. Dear Mr. Peck: Herewith you will find a money order for one dollar to cover my subscrip tion to the News to December 1, 1916. Can't get along without the news from dear "Little Ful ton." My husband and I read with much interest the editorial which appeared in your paper of De cember 30th, entitled, "Business Men vs. Farmers," written by J D. Ream, Master of the State Grange of Nebraska. Our Grange, Van Wyck, No. 217, or ganized in 1908, is greatly inter ested in the Rural Credits and Natioual Marketing issues. Aft er a careful study of the various plans of Rural Credits, we de cided in favor of the Louck's plan, considering it most practi cable and best suited to our con ditions. C. B. Kegley, Master of our State Grange, is the Pres ident of the Rural Credit League of America. Every rural mail box in our country is a monument to the efficiency of Grange work; for it was theconstant pressure brought to bear upon Congress by the National Grange and the thous ands of its members, that brought this just piece of legislation to the farmer. To the Grange are we also indebted for our Parcels Post law; and we are confident of a right settlement of the Rural Credits and National Mar keting questions, which means financial freedom ' and square dealing in selling. Broke Collar Bone.. Last Sunday, Mrs. Emily Eys- ter, who lives with her son Frank Smith, near Webster,. MiKs, ' fell down a stairway and broke one of her collar bones.; Dr. .Mosser reduced the fracture, t The fall was quite a shock to .the, aged lady, but she stood (he operation of having the bones put to their place very-j'-1- ' "ST Mo be The Half Was Not Told. In the issue of the News December lbth, 1 notice y scribe lost sight of some of J. Mort's close calls. Here are few more or them: A lew years ago while cutting ice on the Mad densvijie dam, he broke through and fell into about nine feet of water when he unwittingly step ped on thin ice frozen over a hole made the day before. His com panions, Eli Ferrenburg and Rob ert Ramsey, were at the bank at the time. Ferrenberg saw Mort go down and began to yell. Ram sey reached the drowning man first and found him holding to the edge of the ice and swinging under the 16-inch covering of the dam. Siezing Mort by the arm Ramsey held him until Ferren berg arrived and, together they pulled the unfortunate man out in an exhausted condition. When asked if he touched bottom Mort replied "I wasn't hunting bot torn; I was hunting the hole fell through." At another time, Mr. Mort was going home from Hustontown at night The colt he was driving frightened at some calves in Henry Wilson's field, wheeled short in the road, and took to the woods despite all he could do to hold it. As the horse turned into the road again the buggy was upset and the driver pinned under and dragged some dis tance. Fortunately the harness gave way and the animal was re leased from the buggy and start ed alone to its home. Mr. Wil son saw the running colt and took the back track in search of the driver. He found him lying at the side of the road badly bruised and sprained, but no bones broken. During a recent winter when the earth was covered with a sol id sheet of ice, and water had to be carried by hand to some cal ves, Mr. Mort got tired of the job and dusted a path over the ice to the water. Soon after turning the calves out he heard a racket at the barn and with the aid of a stout stick from the woodpile, he started to investi gate. Very soon his feet and the ice parted company and Mr. Mort proceeded at greatly in creased speed head foremost down hill until a stone reversed him, and his feet led the way at a speed that beat Jersey light ning. 50 rods down the hill a patch of .green briers stopped the mad flight. Nothing worse of the wear, he had almost reached the top of the hill again when- well, this time when he involun tarily reached the foot of the hill on the second trip, at another place not so soft as the green brier patch, he was injured so badly that Mr. Wilson was called by phone and he and the Mr. Mort's wife and daughter helped the unfortunate man to the house where he nursed many bruises and cuts for several days. Now, if any other man has gone all through the flintmill ten times and still feels like a 16-year-old. ;et us hear from him. X A Suggestion. F. M. Taylor, and his son John of Harrisburg, spent the holidays at home, and both returned to Harrisburg early this week. John is employed at the Pipe and Pipe Bending Works assisting to make shells for the Allies. His father is employed in the State Engin eering Department Mr. Taylor is arranging to erect a rest house and refreshment stand on his and at the west foot of Cove mountain for the accommodation cf summer motorists. If Frank will pardon our "butt in," we would respectfully suggest that he carry out a former idea for the use of this land inconneet:on with the rest house, that griinoa--" son? onf""""" 'Ph he the cay IT al I ve ryi A t T seng' an impi the grippe that have of late with tiie old i termTlN-x If we did not stay up so late at night we might breakfast earlierf and walk foar.d from ourplacesol work. Every well man and woA man leading a sedentary life! should walk five or six miles al day in the open air assuming an erect carriage and swinging the arms freely. I .We can go for days without food and water but the moment air is cut off from our lungs we begin to struggle for that life giving element If it is not re stored the person dies in minutes instead of days. From this we may get a true measure of the relative importance of air to i;fo To maintain health we mr-i. breathe air that has not. robbed of its oxygen by j person just having used it. must breathe in air free poison given off from the b of those crowded in poorly tilated places and particul. must we avoid air loaded w germs of grippe, tuberculosis, pneumonia and other diseases. When compelled to submit to the evils of crowded civilization during grippe and pneumonic seasons, it is well to get your doctor to write a prescription for good disinfection solution to rinse the mouth and throat with several times a day. It has been demonstrated that there are many pneumonia germs in the mouths of those suffering from grippe. Farmers Institute. As announced last week, Farm ers Institutes will be held Janu ary 18th and 19th at Rehoboth M. E. church, and in the Clear Ridge M. E. church January 20th and 21st In addition to what, wa3 said in the News last week Chairman Frank Ranck states that the subject of County Agent would be considered at some of the sessions. We are glad of it The News has been spokesman on thi3 subject for some of the progressive farmers of Fulton county for more than a year. We did the best we could. Still. hundreds do not seem to under stand the movement We fully" pelieve that abundant fruits of our institutes will not appear un til the Farm Extension : Depart ment is permitted to keep an Agent permanently in the Coun ty. It will then be more like one continuous institute. We hope that when we secure an Agent, he will be a lover of good homes,, and that he will have been train ed to understand that merely liv- ing for the sake of making mon ey is a low ideal, and that he will immediately set about to guide the young people to realizo that there are ways of making as nice homes and as good living here as they think they see at the far end of the rainbow. Another Attorney In Town. John R. Jackson, Esq. son of James R. Jackson, of Brush Creek township, has rented the offices J ith formerly occupied by the late Senator Alexander, and has be- gun the practice of law in this ( place. His family will remainA in New York until spring, at V1 which time they will' 'remove to v McConnellsburg. Mr. Jackson was graduated from the Dickin son Law School in 1911, and was admitted to practice at the Ful ton County Bar duringjl year. r B. E. Moz : V0l 4 1 '
