It is the wish of the News that
more of its readers were in touch
with our Agricultural Station at
State College. Write for Exten
sion Circular No. 49 which is
devoted to sheep raising. It is
free. The name of the post office
is also State College, Pa. We
want the young people especially,
to keep up with public thought
along agricultural lines, and sheep
for Pennsylvania are receiving
unusual attention at present
The elections are over for this
year, ana the elation in some
quarters is offset by a correspond
ing depression and disappoint-
in others' That is always the
case, but both victors and
vanquished may take satis
faction in the fact that this na
tion is so strongly built on a sol
id foundation that not all the
political changes that may take
place will give evon the slightest
jar to its stability. For party
reasons political speakers and
papers may loudly assert that if
their particular candidate or party
is not elected the country will go
headlong to destruction, but the
honest, upright, good thinking
people, know better.
Ma? Lose Eye. (
Last Monday, while Walter
Gress, son of Mrs. Casper Gress,
near Jugtown, was in the act of
firing a rifle, a piece of cartridge
shell struck him in one eye and
injured it so badly that he was
taken to Chambersburg hospital.
It is thought he will lose the
sight.
Barn Burned.
Tuesday evening of last week
the fine new barn of John F.
Garland near Joe's Run in Belfast
township was totally destroyed
by fire, together with his crop of
hay grain and a large lot of
farm implements. Mr. Garland
is at a loss to know how the fire
originated as he does not smoke
and he does not know of any one
being about the barn with a lan
tern. One of his mules was so
badly burned that it had to be
killed. His daughters were
severely burned in trying to save
property. We understand there
is some insurance.
The Great Daj.
A fine exhibition and sale of
Reliable Furs, the most fash
ionable styles, including Muffs,
Scarfs and Coats, will take place
in our store Monday, November
27, 1916, lasting one day only,
as the gentleman in charge of
these goods must meet engage
ments at other points.
Because of its extent-embrac
ing all prices, varieties and de
signs, this demonstration will
prove to be of such character as
seldom appears in towns of our
size.
The invitation is unlimited; and
while you are with us, do not fail
to investigate other numerous at
tractions. Hoke & Eyster,

Should Have More Members.
The supper given last Satur
day evening by the ladie3 of the
Civic Club was grealy enjoyed by
many. After all expenses were
paid the ladies had about $34 for
their treasury. This was the
second effort to start a fund for
civic purposes. This first effort
was on Tag Day.
There is an old proverb that
teaches "What is everybody's
business is nobody's business'
In nothing is this, so true as in
municipal affairs. Therefore it
is of the utmost importance that
more ladies join our Civic Club
in order that every part and every
condition of the borough and
immediate vicinity be represent
ed and cared for, since the Club.
makes it a business to look after
public needs.
The Club is young and has not
attempted to do much. It was
the Civic Club that caused the
graveyards of the Borough to be
cleaned they had become an eye
sore, if not a disgrace. They will
in3tigateothermovc3 for decency.
As soon as the treasury will
stand for drafts of sufficient size,
public improvements will follow.
But at present, the ladies need
support in the shape of more
members. Will not other ladies
who take pride in their town
come forward and help? There
are no dues, but there is work
for many.
Christmas Gifts.
A good way to select Christmas
gifts is, to ask yourself whether
or not you would care to receive
a similar gift from a friend whom
you really love? Will the gift of
the gaudy, cumbersome thing you
are looking ai create the impres
sion that you "just could 't think
what to give?" Better not send
anything than a gift that leaves
your motives open to suspicion
that it is a "duty" gift. . Do not
insult a true friend in that man
ner. I f you cannot find out what
your friend lacks in sensible
equipment, select some simple
article that is of positive conven
ience regardless of how many
your friend may have.
Another good idea when in
doubt, is to select an ornament for
the wall. Select oneof merit, suit
able for the life of the recipient.
If possible, do not send gloves
and other wearing apparel that
are not the right size, as dealer?
never like to exchange for goods
bought elsewhere, making thf
gift useless. After all, the value
of a gift lies in the motive of tht
giver. Determine how much you
can afford to spend on a friend,
then select from a list of articles
within that price. .

To Clean With Gasoline
First run threads of some con
trasting color around all spots on
the garment to be cleaned this
in order to give tbe spots special
attention. Pour boiling water
into a tub or dishpan, the size
depending upon the size of the
article you intend to'clean. Pour
gasoline into the smaller vessel
and cover the whole with a
heavy cloth for about a minute,
in order to give the gasoline a
chance . to heat. Then put in

fine Bridge.
Last Friday, the County Com
missioners,' together with the
viewers appointed by Court,
met like bodies from Hunting
don county and inspected the
new bridge at Dublin Mills. The
Fulton county viewers were:
Civil Engineer F. P. Plessinger,
Ex-Judge J. W. Hoop and J. R.
Jackson Esq. It was the unani
mous opinion of all, that Con
tractor Myers did a good, honest
job. The bridge is of re-inforced
concrete one-span of nearly 100
feet m forty feetabove the bottom
of the creek and wide enough
for two teams to pass. Strong
guard walls about four feet high
protect travelers from accidental
falls from the structure. These
walls are nicely ornamented by
panels moulded in the doncrete.
By the time all county work
has been completed, the bridge
will have cost each county a little
less than $2,000.
