Last Sunday, while Ray Desh- ong who lives below Webster Mills, was looking for snakeroot, he put his hand into a hollow place made, probably, by a groundhog.

How to Raise Dollars. Much time is spent in trying to find out how to raise cattle, hogs, poultry, wheat, corn, Cain and the Divil, but the majority of people do not, apparently, spent much thought in learning how to raise Dollars. Dollars is a crop that most people admire, desire, and perspire for, and yet a crop that many people tail in raising. It would be impossible to raise a crop of wheat if the seed were wasted; or if planted, was riot cu tivated. Almost everybody boys and girls, as well as men and women, have the seed (cent?, nickles and dimes) to raise a great crop of Dollars, but they waste the feed, instead of plant ing it, cultivating it, and watch ing it grow. Before you spend that cent, nickel, or dime, take a good look at it. Think howmuch labor and time you would have to expend to replace it. Think how long you may have to wait before you have an opportunity to earn an other. Before you let it slip out of your fingers, . think whether you could not do just as well without the thing for which you are going to spend it. If you are spending it for something to merely gratify your appetite -for something to satisfy the cravings of a vicious habit take a drink of cold water, and keep your money. It is the needless expenditures the buying of things that have no value within themselves that keep many people poor. Just now our banks are doing much to encourage a habit of thrift especially among children and youths. To any one apply ing, they will furnish a neat "Home Savings Bank" into which your pennies, nickels and dimes may be placed, and when you have a dollar, it may be plac ed to your account in the bank, and the bank will pay you com pound interest on it Just as sure as acorns will grow into giant oaks, cents will grow into dollars if they are planted in good soil and cultivat ed correctly. A little money put in a Savings Bank is not a talent hidden in a napkin. It is earn ing all the time, like heart beats, its work goes on while you sleep, and even Sundays the capital is growing large and nobody com plains of broken laws. If you put only two dollars a week by, you will be a hundred dollars ahead in less than a year. 1 cent a day in 5 years will be if 18.25 10 ernts a day in 6 years will be 12.60 50 cents a duy in 5 years will be 912 SO 1.00 a Cay in 5 years will bo 1.82V0O The above does not take into account the accumulations of in terest that will be added to it. Almost anybody can lay aside a dime a day. Place a dime in the bank every day (you do not need to go to the bank every day) and in 6 months you will have to your credit, $18.25, in one year, $36.77; in 5 years, $195.20; and 10 years, $421. S5. Keep this up for 20 years, and you will have a bank accountof almost $1,100.00. When you have done this, fig ure it all over again, assuming that every time you. get $1C0 you are going to buy a good bond or stock which will pay 5 or 6 per cent and that will have a chance of increasing in value during your lifetime. Business is growing so fast in this country that there are a thousand absolutely solid con cerns whose stock by the natur al expansion of their business will double in your active life time. Don't fool away your nick els and dimes ! Twenty-Second Convention. The 22nd annual convention of the Christian Endeavor Societies of Pennsylvania will be held in Harrisburg June 11th to the 14th. Billy Sunday's famous Chorister, Homer A. Rodenheaver, of Chi cago, will have charge of the musical feature of the program. There will be an excursion to Gettysburg from Harrisburg. Round trip, $1.00, JUNE DONOR ROLL. Names of Ntw Subscribers and Others Who Have Paid Subscription Dur ing the Past Mouth. Another Honor Roll reminds us that another month has passed, and this week's issue reminds us that we have started on the sec ond half of the year 1916. Time flies. Printing the names of those who pay subscription dur ing the month is not done merely to fill up the paper. There is a reason. The more than ten thou sand persons who read the Ful ton County News each week, belong to one big family. Many are residents of the County now; many have been residents; oth ers are intermarried with ratives of the county, and are thus brought into touch with the in terests of the County. Through family relationship, or acquaint anceship, most of the readers have a personal interest in most of the other readers. Hence it is interesting to scan the lift each month and sec the names of those you know well, and are perhaps surprised to find that they like yourselves, take pleasure in pe rusing the columns of the News each woek. To those who have contributed toward the support of the paper during the month we thank you. It costs lota of hard labor, and plenty of good money to get the paper to our subscribers each week. When our subscribers are prompt in settling their subscrip tion, we can manage to get along. You know how it is, yourself. When you need money, the money that somebody owes you does not help you out. Subscription debts are always small ones and not hard to meet. It is the custom of County newspapers to continue sending the paper to subscribers until they order it discontinued. The publisher has no wish to send the paper to any one who does not want the paper. If you take the paper from the office it is evi dence that you want it, and that you intend to pay for it. The Court3 have decided that any person taking the paper from the postoffice is liable same as any other debt, and the debt' may be collected by law. It is not the wish of the publisher that he should have to resort to law to collect subscription debts. If there is among the readers of this article any who are taking the News, who do not wish to re ceive it; or who do not expect to pay for it if they can get out of it, it would certainly be only fair to spend a cent for a postal card, and write the editor. It would only be doing unto others as you would that they should do to you. Look over the following list of people who take the News, who read it, appreciate it, and PAY for it. Akers, M.

A man operated the machine while one woman road in a sidecar and another on the rear seat. Near the David My ers place, on west side of Scrub Ridge, the brakes failed to work and the machine and the three riders dashed through a fence, tearing down three panels. James Sipes brought the party back to McConnellsburg to Dr. Robin son's office. The Doctor dressed a severe cut on top of the man's head. One of the ladies wa3 cut about the face, and the other had one of her lower limbH bruised and the skin scraped off a large spot on her thigh. They then engaged Ira Diehl to take them to Fort Loudon.

Genesis Air is life; without it man ceas es to live. Living in impure air, his health gradually depreciates and he becomes a dyspeptic, pre disposed to tuberculosis and oth er diseases. Often after suffer ing for years, during which time he is unable to enjoy the good things of life, he meets an un timely death. In this climate the majority of us have to work in offices and buildings artifically heated dur ing the cold season. Our places in which we spend so many hours during the winters and early spring days are far from having perfect ventilation. This there fore, is the reason for us all to take advantage of mild weather conditions to get all the fresh air possible to build our physical bodies up so as to resist the un favorable conditions we must submit to during the cold months of the year. This would apply to all ages, especially including babyhood and on up to old age. It means out door living as much as possible both day and night. When com pelled to be in buildings keep the windows up; otherwise you have dead pockets of air in your rooms at your homes and place of occu pation. Clean, well aired, homes built so as to admit plenty of fresh air all the year around and out-door living as much as possible during the summer, will do much to bring health to the home and just in proportion to your health your life will be worth living. Thej Had a Picnic. The Thimble Club, alias Social Club,' alias Fancy Work Club, held a genuine picnic on top of Cove mountain Thursday after noon of last week. We have it from reliable authority that one of our freighters carefully and tenderly packed the members in egg crates to take them to the picnic grounds. Now comes the sad part they "scrambled" on the way up, and some of them are said to have actually split their sides. Worse and more of it, when noses were counted on arrival at the top, one "rooster" was found, and "believe me" he hasn't crowed since. Mrs. J. R. Jackson seems to have recovered from what was thought last week to be a threat ened attack of typhoid fever. Raker, John 1 1 17 Ramsey, W. S. 11 1 1G Ray, Lloyd 5 2 16 Rhoades, Mrs. J.
