As was announced in last week's issue of this paper, the subscription price of the Fulton County News will be advanced to $1 50 a year, on and after De cember 20, 1916. This announce ment is made without any apolo gy. The advance in the subscrip tion price is only in keeping with the advance in price of every thing else. Most of our subscrib ers are farmers. It takes a less quantity of wheat hay, meat poultry, eggs,' butter, beans, or any other kind of produce a farm er has to sell, to pay a dollar-and- a-half now, than it did twenty years ago, to pay a dollar. Those of our subscribers who are wage earners get from two to five times as much per hour, per day, or per month, as they did twenty years ago. Hence the advance in sub scription will not prove to be a hardship to anyone. We trust that our friends who have stood by the News so loyal ly since the date of its entrance into the field of journalism, will realize that this is only another evidence of the effect of the great conflict that is raging beyond the seas. To those who are in arrears, it will be to your advantage to pay before the 20th of December and then renew for a year or two at a dollar a year. Remember, that all who are paid ahead will not have to pay the dollar-and-a-half rate until their time runs out whether that is six months or six years. Lock Jaw fas Feared. About three weeks ago, Roy Lininger, aged 12 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lininger, of South First street stepped on a nail which pierced his foot near the toes. Home treatment was given and the wound he&led Last Friday, Roy complained of soreness in his jaws and one leg and lock-jaw was feared. Dr. Mosser ad vjsed that the boy be taken to the hospital at Cham bersburg where it was found that the soreness was caused by his having walked on the side of his foot while the wound was heal ing. Tendons had been bo injured in that manner that an bperation had to be performed in order to prevent malformation of his foot Electric Lights. It is easy within the recollec tion of the older citizens of Mc Connellsburg, that the only light to be depended upon by .those who wished to meander around the town after the shades of evening had fallen was the safe and sane tin lantern with a tallow candle. The rush in progress of the nine teenth century swept into the garret of oblivion the aforesaid lanterns, and substituted the kero sene lamps with uncertain candle-power, which on a cloudy night in the light of the moon" only intensified the darkness. Now the public clamors for something more modern a great white way, like other towns. Hence, when R. M. Cline asked the Bor ough for an ordinance to permit him to install and operate an electric light plant the Council very readily made the grant The time limit causing the forfeit of this franchise, another was grant ed to E. J. Post Agent This met a similar fate. The third and last application was made by Howard Weld, and the Council passed the ordinance last Friday evening, which was promptly ve toed by Burgess Seylar. At a subsequent meeting of the Coun cil, the ordinance , was passed over the head of the Burgess. It means that Mr. Weld, or his Company, shall begin work on the plant within three month?, and have it in operation in nine months; otherwise, at the option of the Council, the franchise will become null and void.

This condition is apt to occur on fields that are level or that cer tain pockets.". The foregoing is quoted from the Department of Agriculture. We repeat it in order to again call attention to owners of hilly fields that permanent sods' of alfalfa, or of some other kind of forage, have been proven to pay better in the long run than the breaking and consequent washing of hills. Our Pennsylvania Experiment al Station is trying to teach that more attention should be paid to grazing. But it is also trying to teach that pasture lands in this state cannot endure abuse with out receiving seed, lime and fertilizer to enable the grass to continue. Licking Creek Valley is grazing land, but not after the manner it has been tried by some who have personally condemned it as such they thought over stocking and never re-seeding were necessary roads to success Re-seeding can be done without breaking the ground.
