Spade, Jr., Emmaville, Fa. Preparedness is a topic of national importance, no matter which side of the question you may take Is the nation properly prepared? It is a grave question. v But that is a question for the nation to answer. There is one question nearer home, the matter of financial preparedness 4 of the individual against the rainy day of adversity that may come. Are you financially prepared to meet that sickness which may come to you or vour family? Are you prepared for the time when there may be loss of employment or loss by fire, flood, or mismanagement? Are you prepared for the old age that's sure to come? These are serious, vital questions to every one of us. If you are not prepared, resolve to open a savings account at our bank today and thus make the first step toward your own pre paredness. . FULTON COUNTY BANK. McConnellsburg, Penna. 'OLDEST AND STRONGEST" Letter to the Public, Dear Editor: I was much surprised when I read the Ford announcement in your last week's issue, wherein it stated that E. R. McClain was Proprietor of McClain's Garage, McConnellsburg, Pa. I wish to state that I paid rent up until April 1st, and would therefore, like Mr. McClain to ex plain how he comes to be Propri etor. I do not want the people to get the impression that I have been a tool in the hands of him, . who annouces to be the Proprie tor, and wish to Btate that I wit run the garage I now occupy un til April 1, 1917, after which 1 will be located in the Central Garage, just in the rear of the City Hotel, and wish to announce to all patrons and others, that they will receive the same fair treatment, as I have endeavored to give in the past and will be in position to take care of all who come, with free air, and free service on small troubles.

The traditional observance of Lent is an interesting contrast with the spirit of the modern world, with its emphasis on phys ical pleasure, the value of money and the search for diverting amusements. The modern world questions such a custom and pokes fun at it, as merely a relic of formalism. Yet it may have a value not suspected in our hurry inglife. The church feels the spirit of the age enough that the old rig' ors of its observance have dis appeared, ur course there are still a large number of persons fhnan mhn en c.MA.rif.,11.. WJVOO TT 11V.

Clem Chesnut, Democratic leg islator from Fulton county, says he believes in keeping in touch with the home folks. In order to keep in touch with the situation in Harrisburg, be admits that he has composed a little verse which has been sent traveling around his home country and reads some thing like this: 'Beldleman run tijaGaat?, . . Raldwln run the house. Penfoo runs the two of them -ib m v v t uub m uiuusri Brumbaugh runs the Sunday School, Mulviblll rum the bar,. Grundy runa the whole outfit, eo, darn it, there you are," - much of the old fashioned manner. They deny the flesh the things flesh crave3. Thereby they feel that the galling grip of material thoughts upon Iheir spirits is re laxed. Earth seems more distant and heaven nearer. The burdens and the fascina tions of the world fill their minds and can't be evaded. Life is a struggle in which they need all of the physical strength they possess. The churches make liberal modifications of the old rule of Lentto "working people." Most people in this unspiritual age give their bodies the bene fit"bf doubt, and live a good deal as usual. Yet there are thousands and thousands of society people to whom a Lenten season of self denial would be a godsend. It would rest their strained nerves give their overloaded stomachs a rest from hearty late eating give them needed sleep. Maby of them instinctively feel this and welcome a period of quiet and abstention. But the majority still continue wearing out body and soul in the frenzied effort to kill time and fill life even fuller of thrills and 'novelty.

It would be interesting: to know just what Bongs the children sang and whether they really put some heart into them. There is a lack of a good sing able national song characteristic of the American temperament. "The Star Spangled Banner" is difficult as. its notes run both high and low with witie intervals. People would sing it more cheer fully if it had better rhythm. "America" is merely borrowed from John Bull. One very good air is commonly called '.'Keller's a melody having some animat ana impetuous quality. National Song Week will be j served with some enthusia and it will promote patriotic Q ing. "Soaked" Pens anil Beaos.

Furthermore, if the consu will stir enthusiasm even in a Northern audience. A song will need something of that tingling contagious enthusi asm before an American crowd will sing it with any "pep." Rag time is realy the expression of American feeling. The mu sicians see that there is value in even this despised type of musi cal notation It is up to some song writer with a genius for ex pressing the temperament of a people, to produce a patriotic song having a touch of rag time tingle about it, yet dignified with strong, virile harmony and with desires .the dried Droduct it much cheaper to buy the ih peas and beans directly from a grocer and soak them at he in tnis way the same article served at a much less cost The food and Drugs Act do not prohibit the sale in intcrsta or foreign commerce of cumi soaked peas and bean?, prnvii: the label on the cans indica! plainly and conspicuously th! the contents are made from ttf soaked, dried product.
