Cravitj Water System
"The number of farms in Penn
sylvania that could put in a good
gravity water system is almost
without number," Bays Charles
G. McLain, water supply and
drainage engineer of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agricul
ture. "There are about 220,000
farms and many thousands of
them could have a good water
system without any very great
cost.
"If one only stops to consider
the amount of labor saved the
farm women, the cost of a water
system would not seem at all ex
orbitant The farmer does not
usually hesitate very long when
it comes to buying some labor
saving machinery for use in the
fields, so why should not the good
housewife have some convenien
ces for her use? Think of the
energy required to pump and car
ry the amount of water used in
the house during the day, and al
so the number of extra steps re
quired if the water must be car
ried from a spring at some dis
tance from the house.
'The water system will not
only be for the house, but for all
the farm buildings as well: the
barn, pigpen, chicken coop and
any other buildings in which you
may want water.
"If this system is put in, think
of the many conveniences that
can be put in use. Hot and cold
water in all parts of the house,
bathroom and inside toilets. The
pleasure of the bath alone is one
great factor in favor of water in
the house. After a hard day in
the field, or at any labor about
the farm, a nice refreshing bath
is surely something pleasant to
look forward to.
"It will behoove the farmer to
look over the good springs that
he may have and begin to think
of something of this kind.
The cost is not so great in
most cases and the pleasures of
one year will convince the owner
that he would not dispense with
it for many times the cost
Invitation.
Fulton county is our next door
neighbor, and the beautiful Tus-
carora is no longer a barrier since
the advent of the nimble automo
bile and improved Lincoln High
way. Soon the vigorous puffing
of the locomoth e will be heard
in the mountains.
Our store was founded away
back in the fifties by natives of
McConnellsburg; so we gladly ex
tend an urgent invitation to all
citizens of Fulton county to in
spect the largest and finest stock
of Fancy and Domestic Dry Goods
and Notions we have ever offered.
Dress fabrics of every charac
ter, Ladies' Furs, Coats and Suits.

Wooing The Women.
What women are our states
men making the greatest effort
to win over to their side? The
women who have only indirect
influence? No: the women who
have votes. More endeavor is
being put forth to persuade wom
en in twelve enfranchised States
than in all the rest of the country.
The political leaders care compar
atively little what the women
think elsewhere; but they are
acutely anxious as to what the
women think in those twelve
States. It is an object lesson on
the fact that power always com
mands respect.
Supervisors' meeting.
The annual meeting of the Ful
ton County Supervisors Associa
tion will be held in McConnells
burg on Wednesday, November
22nd at 10 o'clock Mr. G. L.
Sollenberger will address the
meeting. It is the duty of all
supervisors to attend these meet
ings. J. W. Truxel, President.
Mr. Frank Martin, of Bucklin
Kansas, returned home a few
days ago after having visited in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. P.
Shives, on east Lincoln- Way.
Mr. Martin lived with Mr. and
Mrs. Shives from the time he-
was three years of age until he
was twenty-four. About twelve
years ago he "went west" He
holds a good position with a
railroad company as foreman of
construction, and at the same
time manages a good farm that
he owns in the Sunflower btate.
